SAYS CATHOLIC CHURCH
FAVORS CLOSED SHOP
Pouiist Priest Warns Against
Industrial Autocracy.

From the pulpit of the Paulist Fathers
Church Sixtieth street and Columbus
avenue. the Rev. James i. Cronin de-
clared last night that the Catholic
Church is most emphatically in favor
OF the closed shop. Father Cronin, n
priest of the Paulist Fathers. selected
THE Church and Social Action as the
subject of his sermon.
Labor has the right to dictate to the
so-called capitalist class who shall work
in the shops" he said. Employees
should be encouraged to secure more
control over industry. 1t is apparent
to all the question of the closed or open
shop will become very acute before
long.
To-day Is no time for capital to un-
dertake a campaign for the open shop.
1t is going to initiate against peace in
American industry. II capital insists,
labor must fight to the death. because
the closed shop Is necessary for the ef-
1'iciency Of unionism.
"Autocracy has been beaten down in
Germany" Father Cronln continued,
but autocracy still rules in England
and Industrial autocracy rules in the

TEST ARREST UNDER

Police Enforcement of PrOhi-

Third Avenue.
MAD0O GIVES WARRANT
Porter in Saloon, Accused by
Two Detectives, Gives
Bail for Hearing.
MADOO GIVES WARRANT

Police enforcement OF prohibition got
under way yesterday with the first ar
raignment under the state liquor tax
law. Charged with the sale OF liquor
without license, Antonio Baumatti or
233 East Thirty-seventh street, was ar
raigned in the Yorkville Court before
Magistrate Francis AIcQuade. The ar
rest was made by Detectives Henry Han
son and John German, of Inspector Will
tam A. Coleman's staff, who alleged the
sale Of whskey and beer by Baumatti
I'm a saloon at 35s Third avenue, owned
by p. j. Keegan. Baumatti pleaded
not guilty and was released under $500
bail for examination Wednesday.
The arrest marks the Police Depart
ment's first step in It's undertaking to
enforce the State law. acting on the
advice OF Corporation Counsel John p.
O'Brien, who submitted an opinion to the
effect that the law may be considered In
force in so far as it does not conflict
with the provisions Of the Federal
amendment
The detectives told Magistrate Nc
Quade that Baumatti was arrested on q
warrant issued Saturday by Chief Magis-
trate William McAdoo after two officers
had furnished afiidavits. They did. not
make q summary arrest. but waited until
they We're able to lay the alleged facts
before Chief Magistrate McAdoo. Bau-
matt gave his occupation as porter,
but the detectives say he greeted than
as a bartender in the true and old lash
off l.
Magistrate McQuade said he regarded
il as a test case. The police officers tcld
him that Chief Magistra &c McAdoo had
decided, nasmuch as the State liquor tax
law was never repealed, the case would
prove the entering wedge for state and
municipal authorities to assist FEDERAL
officers in their prosecution of violators
of the Vostead act. If Baulnatt is not
held on the charge preferred against him
ne detectives will have him taken to a
deral court.

Storage Meat and Lard
Down to 72O, 1863, 900 Lbs.

THERE were only 720.369,00
pounds of meats and lard in
cold storage November l, the
lowest amount in many years,
according to statement issued
yesterday by the Institute of
American Meat Packers. This
was a decrease of 226,385, 900
pounds, as compared with No
vember, 1919.
"This supply" the statement
said, "if Immediately AVAILABLE
and if the country had to depend
solely upon stored meats and
lard, would be sufficient to meet
the normal national demand for
less than fourteen days. Nearly
20O,000,000 pounds of the meat
in storage November l was in
