An Old Washington Church
The Story of St. Paul's Which Stood
in Rock Creek Cemetery
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In recent issue of the Trib-
une there was picture of the
ruins of st. Pauls Church in
Rock Greek Cemetery, Washington,
D. c. The church, it was stated,
had been practically destroyed by fire,
had not heard of that and was sorry
to learn that the old structure was no
longer in existence.
The original church was built of logs
in 1919 and was destroyed by fire, the
date Of which I do not remember;
neither do | remember the date when
the erection Of the new church was be-
gun. According to the date on a slab
in the western wall of the church it
was finished in ITS.
Rock Greek Cemetery, in which the
church is located, is one of the highest
points near Washington. It's entrance
is directly across the road from the
main gateway Of the Soldiers Home.
The Rock Greek Cemetery contains 100
acres of beautifully wooded, rolling
country. 1t was given for cemetery
and church purposes by one John Brad
ford. The Rock Creek parish is an
offshoot of the Piscatawney parish, To-
Gated on the small river of that name,
which empties into the Potomac some
distance below Washington.
The parishioners living in the Rock
Creek district became tired of the
long weekly trip on horseback and in
coach necessary to attend services at
the Piscatawney Church and asked the
ecclesiastical authorities for permis-
sion to organize a separate parish in
the zone wherein they lived. Pernnis-
sion was accorded, and the Rock Creek
Hundred formed the parish known by
that name.
1t was organized in the spring Of
1719. 1t was then that John Bradford
gave the land. Donations of tobacco
and in some cases of money were made,
and out of the funds thus raised. the
original or log church building was
erected on the site where the larger
CnQTcn WdS dlLGTWd1u OuAiIp Wu1SA dkS~
fortunately was destroyed.
The outside walls of the second or
brick church have never been changed,
although the interior has been remod-
elled. 1t was one OF the most interest
ing spots around Washington. In the
cemetery is the famous monument de-
signed by Saint-Gaudens and erected by
Mr.. Henry S. Adams in memory of his
wife. Mr.. Adams, who died few years
ago, is buried with his wife.

Railroad Relief Delusions

At the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committees railroad hearing
this question was reported as put to
Mr.. Kruttschnitt: "Would the rail-
roads not have been in better posi-
tion to ask for decrease in wages
if they had not themselves first in
creased rates?"
Such query wildly illustrates the
misconceptions many people still
labor under. The railroads have no
power to increase rates. The in
creases allowed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission last fall rep
resented tardy effort on the part of
the Federal government to reverse
the Federal railroad administrations
mistaken policy of operating the car
riers at a loss. While Mr.. McAdoo
and his successors were in charge the
total operating deficit was saddled on
the national Treasury. It now stands
at about $1,200,000,000, and, accord
ing to Chairman Cummins's esti-
mate, may eventually run as high as
81 00,000,000. When the roads were
turned back to the owners and the
Federal guaranty ceased the govern
nent could hardly do less than raise
rates and give the carriers fight
ing chance to break even.
The 1920 increase in rates came at
the end of long series of wage in
creases. The last wage increase, just
before the rate adjustment, was
made retroactive. The rates couldn't
be made retroactive. The Federal
railroad administration and the
Railroad Labor Board believed in
eating the hare first and catching it
afterward. They seemed far more
concerned about expanding outgo
than expanding income.
The annual labor bill of the car
riers in 1916 was 81 ,46s,000, 900. In
1920 it was $3,6s8, 100000 The in
crease since 1917, the last year of pri-
vate operation, has been 1858, ,00o,-
900. But the increase in rates TO
meet this enormous wage imitation
didn't become effective until late in
1926, and, owing to the resistance Of

The Disease of Idleness
(Fron. The Los Angeles 1'smesJ

(Fgons The Los Angeles Ttntesl
In Switzerland they are learning to
treat men out of work as il they were
suffering from disease. It. is found
that man out of work is likely to get
the habit. When man begins to dodge
and avoid employment or shirk his nor
NAL tasks he is infected with the germ
of sloth He has an ailment or disease
that threatens to become chronic. So
the authorities step in, much as a doc
tor would. They diagnose the case,
study the symptoms and endeavor to
place the man in some employment
where his capacities can be of service
to himself and his fellows.
The germ OF laziness is stunned with
an az and the patient is given treat
ment in industry and thrift. A paternal
government is not to be highly COM
mended, but country which could pro-
vide that all citizens should work--and
at tasks to which they were best fitted
would never have to worry much about
its future. Why not yaccinate against
idleness!

drawing the boundary line. 1t was
not intended to be an exclusive test,
nor to be anything but advisory in
character. There is nothing to him
der the commission or the Supreme
Council from, giving all Of Upper
Silesia to Poland.
1t is misleading, therefore, to in
innate that it is only fair to allow
Germany to invade Upper Silesia
for the purpose of restoring order.
The trouble between the Polish riot
ers and the Allied troops is family
trouble. There are means of set
tling it without bringing the Ger
mans in. The Council and the COM
mission are themselves much to
blame for having postponed de-
cision SO long. Under the treaty
provisions the boundary could have
been determined more than year
ago.
AS contributor in part to the
unsettlement in Upper Silesia the
Supreme Council owes it to itself
to exercise patience as we'll as
firmness. 1t would be to advertise
impotency to invite or tolerate the
aid Of the defeated Germans in
dealing with an exclusively Allied
problem.
Moreover, common sense suggests
that patience be shown to the Polish
government as it seeks by its own
means to compel patriotic Poles not
to so to the assistance Of their
brothers in Silesia. The good faith
of the Polish government cannot be
seriously questioned. But it is rea-
sonable to allow for the practical
difficulties it struggles under.

Unfixed Engraving Prices

Governor Miller went straight to
the heart of the question when he
said. on approving the Meyer Martin
photo-engraving bill: at appears to
me that that is precisely the sort of
combination that ought to be prohib-
tied, unless we are prepared to do
away entirely with our anti-monop-
oily laws"
The photo-engravers' unions fixed
prices of photo-engravings to the
newspapers and magazines and pub
fishing houses, on the pretext that
otherwise wages couldn't be kept up.
They were willing to show a gener-
GUS consideration for the employers
at the expense of the public The
same consideration has been mani
tested in the interrelation between
unions and employers in the building
trades, exposed by the work of the
Lockwood committee.
The Donnelly anti-monopoly law
forbids price fixing in the case of
commodities of common use. The
photo-engravers' unions were held to
be exempt from the law because they
didn't turn out commodity of COM
mon use. The distinction was a
chance one, due to an oversight in
the drafting of the law, no doubt
Public interest demands that no
monopolistic license shall be conceded
to private concerns or organizations
The Governor was besought to let
the Donnelly statute stand and to ap-
point commission which would end
photo-engraving trade abuses. He
courageously refused to agree to
extra-legal arbitration. The monop-
oily principle is vicious in any indus
try. No body of manufacturers and
no labor union should have a special
privilege to apply it and profit by it.

With the external causes are associ-
