first time during the present war;
namely, that the laborer is human
being, not merely an instrument of
productions; and that the laborer's
right to a decent livelihood Is the
first moral charge upon industry. The
employer has a right to get a reason
able living out of his business, buf
he has no right to interest on his
investment until his employees have
obtained at least living wages. This
lis the human and christian, in con-
trast to the purely commercial and
pagan, ethics of industry.
The principle of equal pay to
women for equal work is sustained
by the bishops. But they advise that
women be eliminated from all en-
pigments dangerous to their health
and morals. Street car conducting
and locomotive cleaning are specifi-
| cally mentioned as occupations unfit
for women.
! A living wage is not necessarily
! the limit of the laborer's just de-
imands, according to the Catholic pro
gram, which says:
| Even if the great majority OF
workers were not in receipt of more
/ than living wages, tnere are no SooC
reasons why rates of pay should be
lowered After all, living wage is
not necessarily the full measure OF
! Justice All the Catholic authorities
on the subject explicitly declare that
| this is only the minimum of justice
| In a country as rich as ours, there
are very few cases In which it Is
possible to prove that the worker
would be getting more than that tt
which he has a right if he were pait
something in excess of this ethtca
minimum. Why then, should be as
sumo that this is the normal share
of almost the whole laboring popu
Ilation? Since our industrial resource:
and instrumentalities are sufficient Il
provide more than living wage FOL

ers, why should we acquiesce in {

Any children In Keokuk who need

This home has taken 107 children
from Lee county and placed ninety
two of them in good and permanent
homes. Some of them will be the
prosperous farmers Of the coming
generation Of Iowa, and others have
learned trades.
The society conducting this home
is thirty years old, and in that time
has cared for $500 children. 1t finds

Program, Radical in Many of Its Fea-
lures and Backed by Official
Approval Of Catholic
Hierarchy.
WAR BOARD APPROVED
Calls on Labor to Resist Wage Reduc-
tion and Asks Cities to Cor
rect Bad Housing
Conditions.
rBy United Press

WASHINGTON Feb. 10 An
American reconstruction program,
surprisingly radical in many OF It's
features, backed by the official ap-
proval Of the hierarchy OF the Cath
Ollie church in America, was made
public here today.
The program is to be distributed
in pamphlet form throughout tne
country by the committee on special
war activities OF the national Cath
olic war council. It's significance. lies
in the fact that 1t is tantamount to
an official pronouncement OF the
atholic church in America, as rep
resented by It's bishops and arch
bishops. The committee signing the
paper consists Of Rt. Rev. Peter J.
Muldoon, bishop Of Rockford, H.;
Rt. Rev. Joseph Schrembs, bishop OF
Toledo, Ohio; Rt Rev. Patrick j.
Hayes. coadjutor bishop Of New
York. said to be slated for the office
of archbishop of New York; and nj.
Rev. William T. Russell. bishop OF
Charleston, S. O..
This committee was selected 70
represent the Catholic bishops OF
America, and it is generally under
stood that every line of the pro-
nouncement issued today has been
carefully studied and passed upon by
practically every notable Catholic
prelate in the United States before
being made public. The program.
therefore, may be said to be an ON
! cial statement Of the attitude OF the
| American Catholics toward social
and economic problems now engaging
| the attention of all thinkers.
| In many respects the program re-
lsembles that Of the British labor
party. 1t endorses many social and
economic doctrines heretofore pro-
nounced socialistic by conservative
thinkers.
The Catholic program is embodied
in pamphlet called Social Recon
struction."
The Catholic bishops:
/ Approve Secretary Lanes scheme
for settling returned soldiers on re.
claimed lands.
| Encourage labor to resist general
wage reductions.
Demand maintenance Of wartime
wage level in all except very lew
i Industries.
Ask cities to correct bag housing
conditions.
Suggest that laws be passed to
prevent the "extorttonate practices
of monopoly" that cause high cost
of living.
Suggest that more attention be
given to possibilities of government
competition with the big monopolies
that apparently cannot be controlled
otherwise.
Approve cooperative stores, run
and owned by working class.
Demand legal minimum wage high
enough to provide not only for pres
ent needs of worker and family, but
