The Elders and Board of Trus.
tees of the Bruno Presbyterian
church met at the home of MIR.
Darling, Monday night. Beside
much other business that was
transacted, they started a church
building fund, as the old church
is too small to house all the Sun
day school classes. Two hundred
and fifty dollars are already sub
scrlbed toward this fund. Mr..
Rose, Mr.. Adams, Mr.. John Babe
and Mrs. kamman were APP
pointed as a committee to see
that everybody in the commune
ty has an opportunity to sub
scribe toward that fund. 1t is
hoped that within few years
there will be enough money so
that an addition may be put to
the old church building, and a
full basement put underneath
the whole church, so that the
church may serve all the needs
of the community.
Memorial Service in Bruno,
There will be a memorial SER
vice in the Bruno Presbyterian
church next Sunday morning in
honor of the Ray Fairchild fami-
ly. This service is held because
it was impossible to have any
public service on the day of
their funeral, on account of the
FLU" epidemic in the communi-
ty.
Rev. A. j. Kamman will preach
on THE Problem of Suffering"
Many people are troubled on &C.
count of this awful problem of
suffering. We're it not for it we
could hardly help believing in
God and loving God. There are
so many indications of His good
ness and love and care all around
us. But this problem blocks the
way. Why does God, if he be all
good and all-powerful, permit
suffering in the world. Rev. A.
j. Kamman will try and bring
out what the Scripture teaches
about this problem of suffering.
Everybody is cordially invited to
our services which open prompt
ly at eleven and close at twelve.
Sunday school starts at ten
o'clock. There are only two
more Sundays before Christmas.
Let us all be there and be there
on time, so that we can practice
for our Christmas program. Let
all the parents cooperate with
the Sunday school teachers in
training their children for the
Christmas program. Especially
let us see to it that every one
knows his or her part well before
the first practice. May everyone
come out regular and get into
the spirit of this Christmas
season.
Next Sunday Rev. A. ]. Kam-
man will preach in the Duquette
school house at 3 o'clock and in
the Berglund School House at 8

interfering with war industry, wa!
made ready for the presidents sigma
ture late today when the senate &C
cepted conference report eliminating
provisions designed to punish strikers

The conference report was adopted
after lengthy debates. during which
Senator Sherman of Illinois and Nc
Cumber of North Dakota asserted that
the labor situation is getting beyond
control of labor leaders, and that Con
gress should take action.
Hollis Defends Labor
Senator Hollis, of New Hampshire
defended the loyalty of labor, declar
ing that strikes in this country today
are "inconsiderable.' and said the
passage of legislation designed to pre-
vent peaceful strikes would not tend
to increase lab0r's efficiency.
He denied that labor was respon.
sible for the delay in the air plane
program, declaring that capital was
at fault.
"You can't make men work by pass
ing laws Senator Hollis said. 81 con.
curr in the opinion of President Com
pers of the American Federation of
Labor that if congress passes law
preventing peaceful strikes, that law
cannot be enforced" ,
Senator McCumber said that never
have there been as many strikes in
the history of the country as there
have been since the United States
entered the war, although during that
period labor has been better treated
and received higher wages than ever
before. The North Dakota senator de.
plored what he termed a. lack of cour-
age by members of congress to oppose
organized labor because of it's poll
tical influence, and said the anti.
strike provision of the bill should
have been retained.
