Profits of His Manufacturing Plant
Equally Distributed Between
Capital and Labor.
Bonus of Sc Per Cent of Wages Given
Employees for Year 1917.
Equitable Principles Worked Out Int
Practical and Satisfac-
tory Results.
Plan Inspired by Dr.. John A. Ryan's
Book, "A Living Wage"

While the mind and heart of every
loyal citizen are in these times chiefly
devoted to seeing that 'the great and
holy cause of liberty shall triumph" ;"
those of us who cannot be wholly oc
cupied in waging war should be
thoughtfully considering ways to soft
n. as much as will be possible. the
ar;,ships that must follow in the
aftermath of war.
5orne fifteen years since DR.. John
y. Hyan, now Of the Catholic Univer
y OF America, published his book
"A Living Wage" and thereby blaZed
he trail for the scientific study Of
conditions fundamentally affecting
he wage-earner that has made posi-
BILE the minimum wage legislation now
in many states in force. Two years
ago Dr. Ryan followed his pioneer
world with a more exhaustive treatise
III industrial problems and more elab
orate outlines looking to better ap-
portionment of earned and unearned
income, giving his later work the very
appropriate title, Distribute Justice"
In the meantime, at Louisville, KY,
a successful business man and large
employer of labor, moved, as no doubt
was DR.. Ryan himself, by the SYM
pathetic and mastery appeal made
for justice to the working man by
Pope Leo XIII of undying memory,
and with the principles of the "Rerum
Novarum' and "a Living Wage" to
guide him, was working out plan
for a fair and equitable distribution
between capital and labor of the pro-
ducts of his extensive plant. This
was Col. P. H. Callahan, prominently
known as chairman of the late COM
mission on religious prejudices, which
did so much in the way of unifying all
rightly-disposed citizens on basis
iiscreditirg to any public display of
bigotry, and who. now, as fitting
sequel to that work most helpful in

In each city representative of this
board of directors shall be appointed
for the express purpose of collecting
for said promotion and publicity fund
of the Catholic Young Mems Associa-
tion in the following way, or in way
suited to local conditions, and ap-
proved by this board of directors:
Each promoter may organize a band
of ten or more collectors; these col
lectors shall each approach as many
of their friends and acquaintances as
they see fit, explaining to them the
purpose of this movement as set forth
in the literature furnished, and to be
at once deposited with the treasurer
of the board.
Resolved, That each member of the
organization affiliated with this asso-
citation is hereby earnestly requested
and deputed to be a committee of one
to spread in every practicable way the
need of Catholic Young Mems Asso-
citation, and the plans formulated for
it's institution, and to that end is re-
quested to familiarize himself with the
data, arguments and statistics con-
tained in the publications herein re-
ferred to, and which can be obtained
either from the central Office of this
Catholic Young Mems Association, at
the Plaza Building, Philadelphia, Pa,
or from the Office of "The Queens
Work." St. Louis, Mo.
Resolved, That we extend our heart
felt thanks and appreciation to the
most reverend membership of the
hierarchy for the encouragement given
this work, and the reverend clergy,
who have taken an active and practi-
cal interest in societies for young men,
both in the parish sodalities and city
organizations, to the societies of young
men themselves, which are effectively
cooperating, and to the Catholic press,
which has helped so generously in
spreading abroad the need and prog
ress of the work of this organization.

Nat. Conference Of
Catholic Charities
Work Of Preparation Has Already
Been Begun-cordial Relations of
Catholic Organizations With the Red
Cross.
Women's Activities Will Be Consid-
cred by New Committee-How to
Get information About Conference,

The work of preparation for the
September u91S) session of the Ma
tional Conference of Catholic Chari-
ties has been begun. In view of the
disturbance of our national life and
new problems caused by the war, the
forthcoming meeting will be one of
far-reaching Importance 1t will be
necessary to take account of the new
features Of dependency due to death
or disability occasioned by service in
the Army or Navy and of methods
of relief established by the Federal
Government
The work of Catholic Charities and
relations among them will be studied
again, in the light of the extra
ordinary situations that confront us
None of our charities have escaped
the influence of war conditions. 1t is
proposed also to make study of new
tendencies in charity legislation and
or policies of cooperation in the field
of relief which have developed since
the war began
The cordial relations which have
been established between Catholic or.
CARNATIONS and the American Red
Cross will furnish occasion for the
study of their relations in the i'm
mediate future. The selection of the
American Red Cross by the Federal
Government as it's agency in the ad-
ministration of federal relief through
out the country introduces a new and
powerful factor among the agencies
which combat poverty. The full
printed report of the 1918 meeting
promises to be a most important con-
tribution to our literature of Catholic
charities, particularly on account of
the new. problems and new points of
view that will be brought to express
sion.
The National Conference was
founded in 1910 at the Catholic Uni
versity, Washington, d. G.. 1t has held
four very successful biennial sessions
and has published and distributed
widely full reports of all of them. All
Catholics and Catholic organizations
interested in relief work may become
members of the conference may be
present at all sessions and take part
in all discussions.
The general work of preparing the
program for the biennial sessions is in
charge of committees on families, chill
dren, sick and detectives, social and

Won TIRPITZ CONFIDENT
Says kaiscr's Turn Coming Soor to
Drive British Fleet
or Seas

Washington, June l!.--F'urthcr 4v-
ience that Germany. in fts efforts to
end this war this summer. is planning
to support it's land offensive. by send.
ing its high seas forces against The
combined British and American grand
fleet, is given in IN official dispatch
today from Switzerland.
"a telegram Of an official nature"
says the dispatch, "is being spread
broadcast in Germany, which says
that the German admiralty is cnr<:I.
cring big naval offensive
Held in Readiness
"Orders are supposed TO have teen
gwen to keep the whole fleet in readi-
ness, ana certain number Of naval
officers of high rank have been hur
rledly recalled from Switzerland and
other neutral countries. where they
have been spending their leaves"
The Keller Leitung speaks of extra
ordinary activity in the ports and the
Hamburger Post publishes an inter.
view with Won TirpitZ, who was asked
II Germany was in position to meas
ure herself with the English fleet. The
admiral replied in the affirmative,
saying after their land forces had
pushed the French and English back
on the other side of Paris. it woul0
be the turn Of the kaiser's boats To
drive the English off the high seas.
Washington Expects 1t
Both in Washington and in the Al.
lied capitals German offensive on
grand scale long has been regarded
as possibility, and the appearance oi
the Teutonic fleetin the North sc;. az
any time would not be unexpected.
Rear Admiral Gleaves said in a public
address not long ago that word had
come to the British fleet that the Ger.
mans at last were ready for the su-
preme test.
If the battle does come American
naval forces will play their part.
American dreadnaughts under Rear
Admiral Hugh Rodman, joined the
British fleet some time ago and Ad.
miral Gleaves in his recent ..ddrcss
said that when Admiralty Beatty.
commanding the British gray sea
forces, heard that the Germans were
coming he assigned the American
ships prominent place in the line.
American naval officers are no less
anxious for finish fight with rbr
n"emy than are the British. And in ali
Allied quarters there is supreme con.
tidence of the outcome. Once the two
fleets come to grips, officials are car-
tain the Germans will be dccis;velv
defeated
