RICHMOND ASSAlLS
TRINITY PARISH
Former Episcopalian Rector
Objects toNHickson, the
English "Healer."
LOVES CATHOLIC CHURCH
But Finds 1t Too Reactionary
Praises Prohibition as
Moral Miracle.

The Rev. George Chalmers Richmond,
former rector OF Old st. Johns Episcopal
Church In Philadelphia, who three weeks
ago was admitted to the Baptist minis
try, preached yesterday at the Calvary
Baptist Church, denounclng the present
day work Of the church as too conserva-
tive. DR.. Richmond was suspended from
the Episcopal ministry after long con-
unued attacks on that church. and said
that he subsequently considered enter
ing the Roman Catholic church. He
stili loves the Catholic church, he said,
but II is Influenced by political, COM
mercial and financial considerations.
A good part OF his sermon was taken
up with an attack on Trinity parish of
this city, with which several years ago
he was connected. He objected psrticu-
larry to the parish permitting Hickson,
an English healer" to use one of the
church buildings for. his ministrations.
Hickson's work, he declared, was BIAS
phemous.
In setting forth his plea for modern
ising church work DR.. Richmond said
that the revolution in Russia was the
result Of Christian teaching and that
the old ideas must go to keep pace with
progress.
THE Church OF Russia, the orthodox
Greek church. betrayed Christ and
bowed down to the Gar" he said. "If
we have Bcishevism in this country Il
will be because our politics are reac-
tionary and our commercial Interests
ultra -conservative. The time has come
not to denounce radicalism. but to love
the radicals. The place Of the church
Ia with the revolutionary movements Of
the world that are Christian and aim TO
uplift the minds and l.earts Of men. One
reason the church has lost influence is
because its preachers are afraid.
His Opinion of Catholic Church.
IT love the Catholic church. but II In
wolves one of the greatest problems
united with the democratic life of this
uation. Rome. the Papacy and diplomacy
are the great curse Of that church. Thu
Catholic church allows itself to be In
fiuenced by political. commercial and
financial considerations, trying to keep
itself in league with the world instead
Of thinking only OF its standing with
God. The reason the police in New
York, Seattle and Chicago are SO ready
to club the Reds and break UP thei-
meetings Is because OF tho teaching Of
the Catholic church, which II opposed
to all revolutionary movements"
DR.. Richmond said that his text, taken
from the third chapter of st. Matthew,
has more dynamite in 1t than all tie
bombs that have ever been thrown
There is no red flag literature that can
compare with the New Testament, Re
said. John was not afraid Of modernism

Negro Held for Six
Months Without Trial

Washington, D. c., Sept. 19-Asso-
ciate Justice Gould, presiding in
criminal division 1, Of the district
supreme court, did not mince words
last Wednesday when he scored the
police department of Washington for
holding an innocent Negro for six
months without trial.
Thomas w. Hunter, colored, was ar
rested last February on charge of
robbery. When his case was reached
by the grand jury, for which he was
held, the police admitted that they
had made mistake in arresting him.
When the United States district attor-
ney's Office took steps toward having
Hunter released the assistant district
attorney suggested that he go on his
own recognizance.
At this point Associate Justice
Gould declared that nothing of the
sort should be done, and sid, '"The
case is dismissed, and the police owe
him an apology for arresting him
without any evidence against him.
Such action on their part makes the
administration justice a reproach."

Another Old Timer Gone

New York, Sept. 19.-The Grim
Reaper has again stretched forth his
hand and taken from our midst one
of those men who in the earlier days
helped to contribute their share to-
wards the history of colored theatri-
Gals. This time it is the modest and
unassuming Charlie Moore, who has
answered the call to the Great I'm
known. Mr.. Moore was for years con-
nected with the Williams and Walker
shows and one of the men who looked
after the interests of the company in
the front of the theatre. At the time
of his death he was connected with
the Lafayette Players and had been
assigned part in the production
which will be at the Seventh Avenue
house next week. For more than
twenty years he was a close friend of
Jesse A. Shipp, and it was at the ear
nest solicitation of the writer that he
decided to take flyer" in the drama.
When pride of Race" was staged at
the Lafayette theatre he took prom
lent part, his work elicting much
praise Some months ago he appeared
in Washington with Mrs. Charles H.
Anderson and also played at the Lin
coin theatre with the company.

the strikers, subdued, came back and
asked-yes, in some cases begged
for their places in the various plants.
Since the colored workers had
broken the strike naturally the pack
ers felt indebted to them, so they were
retained, at least, it SO appeared. But,
in most cases, the foreman and fore
ladies, the small salaried officers (and
the ones with whom the average
worker came in contact), were in SYM
pathy with the former strikers. These
men and women, as may be expected,
saw to it that when a colored worker
quit or was discharged that his place,
If In any way desirable one, was
taken by one of the ex-strikers. In
some instances we are told that frame
ups were made and sometimes the col
ored workers discharge or withdrawal
was forced upon him to make room for
some one who had influence or favor
with foreman or forelady. The
force of this undercurrent was of a
racial character because the sentiment
existed among the white workers that
the colored workers caused them to
lose the strike.
We do not censure the packers
themselves or their highly paid Off
Gals or their department superintend-
ents They may not only have been
innocent of countenancing any treach-
cry against the colored workers, but
the fact that Notwithstanding their
breaking strike in 1904 the per-
centage of colored workers was neg
ligible in 1914, when the world war
began, goes to show that there had
been in operation some systematic
scheme of elimination against them.
In the next article we shall see how
such scheme operated and may oper-
ate in the future, unless prevented by
thorough and effective organization.

Viewing the Labor
Movement from
Various Angles
By Andrew Holmes, Trustee Local
No. 1911.
ARTICLE Il.

In the preceding article we made
mention of the fact that the colored
worker is looked upon as inferior to
the white worker in most cases. He
is expected to do the same amount
of work for less pay or more work for
the same pay. However, the employ
ing classes have, as rule, profited
by this state of affairs. They threaten
the white employees with replacement
by colored workers, whom they then
assert do as good or better work and
for less compensation. The colored
workers they intimidate with the be-
lief that if certain wage must be
paid or a certain condition met, the
services of white employees becomes a
necessity and in that way better re-
suits may be secured. So it has been
in the recent past.
These occurrences from time to
time led, we believe, to the prejudiced
notions of many white trades union
lists against the colored workers, as
the labor organizing movement pro-
gressed. 1t must not be understood,
however, that racial differences alone
have been made the basis of economic
opposition; the differences in Ian
guage, in religion, in locality, and, in
fact, in everything, have been utilized
by the employing classes to keep the
workers divided and confused. Not
only have groups on various lines
been pitted against other groups, in
Guiding even child labor and woman
labor, but the individual against the
individual.
But let's refer now to feature in
the stockyards situation. We are told
that about the year 1904 there was a
strike in the yards. We are told that
the union at that time did not solicit
the membership of the colored work
ers. We are told also that when the
strike was called the packers called on
the colored workers through their rec
ognized CD leaders; that the colored
workers responded, and through their
activities the strike was broken and
the union crushed. We are told that

Miners Approve

Cleveland, o., Sept. 19.-The con-

of America today approved legislation
such as this week passed congress
carrying heavy penalties to curb the

No time will be lost in organizing
