past strikes that thousands of workers were in sympathy with the union but refrained from Joining for fear of discharge. They also knew that in an unor- gan:zed industry where the work CTS are more or less intimidated by company officials only the more daring with :nitia- tive and fearlessness-join the union readily. But the others aI- most invariably follow them when 1t comes to show of hands. This is especially true of unskill- ed and immigrant workers, who feel helpless unless they act as a mass, since they can easily be re- placed
 In addition to the grievances of the workers as presented by their leaders, other condit ons, existed in the steel centers fa- vorable to the union. The rest lessn ess which permeates the country at present was accentu- ated by the policies of the steel corporation in working it's em- ployes long hours Newspa per accounts recorded almost daily that the eight-hour day was be- ing introduced in other indus tres. In the eel industry it was merely a basic eight-hour day. In the same ne .ghborhoods, workers were earning as much or more in eight hours as the steel workers earned in 10 to 12 hours. Observers on the ground have asser' ed that the steel corpora tion's policy has been seemingly to keep the workers satisfied by improving working condit ons, and to keep them at work 10 and 12 hours a day so that they would earn fair WE ces, but be too tired to interest themselves in agitationaI campaigns. However this may be. the course pursued has had the opposite effect. The workers were too tired to enjoy their earnings, which was but an additional irritant. In this state of mind a strike is like a spree to a man, who besides having griev- ances, has a-sO kept his nose to the grindstone for a long time.
 The steel strike has again den- onstrated that, in unorganized industries with large numbers of unskilled workers, membership in the union is not the sole nCs the prime criterion of trade union sentiment Some of the largest and most successful strikes have have called with but a small per centage of the workers enrolled in the union.

ton, and is full of self-confidence because he is allowed to exercise his initiative and can meet the foreman and superior officers on a footing Of equality.
 During the war the young American was promoted time and again because of the scarcity of skilled labor so that he came to feel hin self comparatively well off. Not -nty does he consider himself above the "hunky" and ''wop" socially, but he does not feel the need of the union be- cause he thinks he can get ahead as all individual. Never theless many native workers Joined the Lions.
 An extensive campaign was carried on in most of the steel centers. At a conference of iron and steel workers held in Pitts burgh last May delegates were present from every steel center in the country. Alabama, Col orado and Minnesota were rep resented with those from the steel centers of the midwest and L. were present. Even then a spirit of unrest permeated the confer ence and only conservative lead ership forestalled premature ac- ton.
 The response of the workers in centers where the unions were not unduly interfered with by the public authorities is a tribute to the understanding of mass psy- chology on the part of the labor leaders. It Is also a reflection on the lack of understanding of this phase of human nature by the steel mill officials. Judge Gary ga s> as one of his reasons for declining to meet with the committee of the steel workers that they did not represent them. He must have had means of as- certaining the exact progress of the organizing campaign, for Fitzpatrick stated before the Sen ate Committee that only 5 per cent of the workers had become union members when the strike was called. This also explains the reply of the representatives of the steel workers that the only way to prove whether they rep resented majority of the work CTS was by calling a strike.
 What Gary and his advisers overlooked, what the labor lead CTS were cognizant of, were the following facts: The steel off, cials gauged the trade union sentiment on the basis of enroll ment in the unions. The labor leaders knew from experience in

these was the anthracite coal strike of 1900, when John Mitchell, like Fitzpatrick and Foster, was denounced as an out sider from the soft coal fields. The membership of the United Mine Workers in the anthracite district at that time barely reached the 5000 mark, yet when the strike was called only about 10 per cent. out of the 144,OO0 workers failed to respond.
 Close followers of the labor movement regard the outcome of this strike as highly significant in it's bearing upon the future forms of organization and con trol. The practically unlimited resources of the U. s. Steel Cor poration are pitted against the

The Clergy Dined

The epicurean connoisseur, David A.
English, who has a big heart that
takes in all sects, gave a delightful
turkey dinner to the clergy of Penns
Grove on Wednesday afternoon at his
restaurant, No. 9 South Broad Street.
In these days of scarcity of food and
high prices it was like mamma to the
children of Israel in the wilderness.
Brother English was praised as one
giver of some of the best and most
perfect gifts. There were also fitting
angels who voluntary administered to
the saints and associates.
Sickness, a funeral and official
duties caused the absence of some, but
those present enjoyed the good fellow
ship as we'll as the feast with the I'm
est spirit.
Rev. Walter F. Atkinson and wife,
Rev. Fred J.. Peters and wife, and
Rev. John W. Lynch and wife COM
prised the ~clericals. The Editor and
wife, the Manager Of the Record,
Daniel w. Allen, manager of the res
taurant and Mr.. English unitediy en-
joyed the feast of food and the cheer
full fellowship of soul thought.
Rev. Atkinson was POSTMASTER ana
most b%efittingly called suitable topics
for others. Rev. Peters, an adopted
American, told what great things he
had learned and believed that former
President Roosevelt, who vas buried
that day, was the greatest American
of his generation. Mrs. Peters told
what kind fellowships had been made
thru the Woman's Club. Rev Lynch
told what he would do if he were
Mayor-have a universal clean up.
The editor was asked to tell what he
would preach about if he became a
clergyman. He said that We can
best judge the future by what was
published in the past.
Thus the unity of fellowship was
strengthened in the bonds of peace.

Explanation and Apology

We wish to apologize for the ignor-
ance and i~lliteracy of the Records
force in spelling the name of u dear
brother, Travers incorrectly in the is
sue of December 9th. Having grad
uated from the cornfeld college of
Upper Penns Neck, and not from a
theological school much must not be
expected of us.
We regret he does not inform US
wherein our retraction and apology
was not satisfactory, because we de-
sire to have an open mind and spend
many hours and expense for light
searching after the truth, even from
Catholic, c~atechisms and the Douay
Bible published by Cardinal Gibbons
appreciation. We would like to learn
where the catechism links up with the
Bible, and traditions.
Believing the expression "The Pres
ident Will Teach The Pope" submer-
sive of faith and morals and in ac-
cordance with the instructions to
priests in the appendix of Ripalda's
Catechism that it is the duty of all
good Catholics to extirpate all news
papers that defend liberty of con-
science, liberty of worship and other
liberties, of course it is his official
duty to advise all to stop subscribing
for the Record.
1t is his privilege to do so under the
legal protection of preaching to pro-
mote faith and belief in a Supreme
Being and the advancement OF morals.
AS to whether that expression des-
troys a faith in a Supreme Being and
the morals of his parishioners is up to
1- l. 1-~s1o 90 f,.nA 1Non1snl nnrnnfC
Does it destroy the faith in God, Je-
hovah, or in Jesus of Nazareth called
the Christ? Does it lessen the belief
m the Ten Commandments or the
Sermon on the Mount, or the obliga-
tons of man to observe them? That
is what the civil law permits.
If there be impetuous sons of Peter
who cut an ear off, a true vicar will
surely put it back and heal it. Luke
22:50-51.
With all due respect to the Su-
preme Bishop at Rome as the head of
the Catholic Church, he is worthy OF
respect as Bishops of other Churches,
in his guidance of faith and morals,
but when he assays to be a ruler IN
the civic world and puts forth a peace
message with the ideas OF German
and Austrian propaganda when the
armies of those nations were at the
height of their drive and which Pres
ident Wilson was the only n to give
an answer, the Pope took the position
of an earthly Caesar in world politics.
The Bishops of no other Churches
prescribed such peace.
They did what Peter told them to
do in I Peter 2:13, IA, II; Be We sub
