ASSEMBLY VOTES
COOPERATION IN
UNITY CAMPAIGN
Southern Presbyterians Decide
to Contribute Share of
100000 Fund for
Church Support

ST. Louis. May q --Co-operation in all
practicable ways" with the church unity
campaign of the federal council of the
Church of Christ in America was voted
at the sixty-first general assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church here to-
day.
The assembly decided also to con-
tribute an equitable proportionment of an
expense fund of $4,000 for the support
OF the church. The method of providing
this was referred to the committee On
systematic beneficience.
The assembly declined to make any rec
ommendation on a movement for national
disarmament outlined in a letter from
the council, explaining while we would
hail with joy any general movement
looking toward reduction Of ornaments,
we feel this is matter that should BE-
handled by the council itself, rather than
by its constituent branches acting in
their separate capacity as churches"
The question of uniting the five
branches of the Presbyterian church was
again brought up by a telegram from the
general assembly of the northern Pres
hyterian church, expressing hope for clos
or relation of the two sections.
ACTION POSTPONED
In reply, the assembly sent a message
"reciprocatfng the sentiments of frater-
nal regard" but explaining that action
by the southern church had been post
poned for a year and I'VE deem it at this
time inexpedient to take any further ac-
ton"
The assembly adopted a committee re-
Port recommending the duties of the com
mittee on systematic beneficience and
stewardship, and recommending the body
be designated as the "assembly's commit
tee on stewardship"
The assembly voted against comforting
advisory and legislative powers on the
committee but prescribed its duties as
advisory and administrative"
The committee will have complete con-
troll of all campaigns for funds in the
church among its other activities, and
will seek by review and recommendation
to promote the business betterment OF
our assembly
Work in the foreign missions field was
outlined by several speakers. Rev. C. L.
Smythe Of Nagoya, Japan asserted that
of 55,oc0o00 people there are only about
2o0 900 members of Christian faith.
He declared Japan SIS lacking reli-
glon.'
The Rev " Losa of Czecho-Slovaki ia
urged support for missions there, declar-
ing "Czecho-Slovakia can influence 1000.
900 Russians"

FORMER OFFICE
 BOY IS MADE
 RAILWAY HEAD
By International News servicer


 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 27- Torty. three years ago pudgy-faced lad answering to the name of Tommy entered the employe of the old North Pacific Coast Railroad Company as an office boy.
 The other day the resignation of and general manager of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company the oldest and largest American line on the Pacific, left a gap that shipping men prophesied would be hard to fill
 But it was not vacant long. Still known as Tommy to his intimates, Thomas A. Graham was named for the position. He left the Southern Pacific Railroad after forty years service during which he rose from office boy to asst tant freight traf- fife manager. Duri"g tn iJrty years he forged steadily ahead position by position and earned a reputation as being one of the leading traffic ex- .ecutiyes of the country.
 Application" is his formula for success.
 "The opportunity is open to the man who will apply himself in the railroad field" he declared when asked how he found his way to the top And the opportunity is big ger today than it eyer was before"
 Tommy Graham. says his associ- atcs was never content with know ing his own job. Ne always know ii thoroughly and then reached ont and included first hanI knowledge .of the j.h ahoyo him. AnI he jus. naturally fitted in when changes came. Throughout his forty three years railway service he never lost a days pay nor has he been seriously i'll at any time.

STRIKE MENACE CURE SEEN IN
 GOOD HOMES
.By International News scrvice>

G3y International News Scrvice)
 LONDON, Oct. 27-England has had two disastrous coal strikes since the war ended, and sundry other threats.
 The South Wales Regional Survey Committee, branch Of the Ministry .of Health. thinks living in depres- sive conditions. huddled like ants in dirty valleys at the pit mouths has a direct bearing on unrest They propose to remedy the living condi- tions and alleviate the unrest by a new housing scheme.
 Depressing surroundings and sameness of occupation have a marked effect in causing discontent and unrest" reads q striking sent enCe of the report
 One third of the male population of South Wales is engaged in min ing, the committee finds, and min ing is concentrated in valleys un- iitted for housing purposes, with all the serious disadvantages of the coal dust and smoke nuisance and ser ious pollution of rivers.
 Housing of miners outside the val lcys and off the coal measures is therefore, proposed, and the commit tee suggests fifteen localities as centres for grouped housing schemes to serve particular valleys or groups of valleys.
 Tt should be built away from the industrial centers, it should be al most purely residential in character, the residents should belong to diff fercnt industries. and the size of the town should be definitely limited by a permanent agricultural belt within it's own boundaries"
 The committee recommends the immediate development of dormi- tory towns at Llantrisant station and at Bridgend. Ire former would be q town of about 3O,OOo population, under the proposed Utopian plans.

night did love him. Seventy-fve
years of life haven't blurred his ar

The completeness of the praise
which should go to "Lightnin' is
assured by the excellet nbalance of

There is Stuart Fox, for instance,
who all in one series of deft actions
takes both the audience and the part
of John Marvin who had studied law,
who broke up a "bunco" ring with
the determination Of a Fulton grand
jury, and who wooed and won with
all the ardor and perfection that a
