Tells of Week-d day
Religious Instruction

Many OF the members Of the Ham

FOR the first time today of the tre-
mendous success which has crowned

schools for week day religious in

at the noon day luncheon.
Hammond now has 10 schools: whit
ing. ?; East Chicago, /; and Indiana
Harbor. 2. Fifty-three teachers are
Employed and 1900 pupils have en-
rolled. The religious instruction Is
not compulsory and is carried on at
morning. noon or evening outside of
the regular school hours. Hammond
alone has 1900 pupils and the schools
have been going only six months. Gary
with twice as many children OF school
age has 5000 pupils in the religious
classes. which have been established
for six years.

IS shown by the fact that after run
ming two and one-half months the
classes continue to grow. The average
attendance now is SIS per cent in
Hammond. Three weeks ago It fell on
because of the vaccination campaign.
but it is now back to FORMAL. The
main trouble now is that the classes
have become so large as to be I'M
wieldy. Seven or eight stlll have ove-
40 students and only a short time ago
two classes of so members each were
split up. At the teachers conference
Tuesday evening several reported that
they were expecting to report 100 per
cent attendance this month.
Recently at the Riverside school Il
mothers were ~outspokcn In their
praise of the work. They said It was
having a marked effect upon their
children. One mother said that when
ever verses were read from the Bible
her chIld frequently could repeat them
from memory. Another mother said
her child would not retire at night
until the lesson in religious training
had been memorized.
On a recent holiday at the Franklin
school the teacher was anxious to
have the afternoon off. She told the
children tina II they desired to come
to the class at $3.50 that afternoon she
would take charge as usual. Instead
OF taking advantage OF the holiday as
she had supposed they would. every
member OF the class turned out.
The appeal today at the Chamber Of
Commerce luncheon was for aid in
raising the funds to carry on the work
the balance of the school year. 1t IS
estimated that 5000 per month VIII be
required OF which $3.50 is for teachers
ralaries and $3.50 for running expenses.

THE BOND OF SCOUTING

s. II. Marshall, an English scout off,
cial who visited this country recently,
writes as follows in an article in The
Trail, the official organ Of the London
scout council
American boy scouts are very much
as we are.
ut Is a tremendous responsibility
upon the shoulders of the executives
Of the Boy Scouts Of America and our
own executives to guide Alright the
thoughts, hopes and aspirations Of the
youth of these two great English
speaking nations. We must remem-
ber our colonies are part of us and
our great empire, but Americans owe
allegiance to their own President and
government, though they speak our
tongue-surely the closest Of ties 1t
Is therefore our bounden duty to take
every step we can to further the
closest relationship possible between
us. Animated by the same ideals as
we are, it should be our aim to de-
stroy all thoughts of distrust and Sus-
picion between the two great nations
and encourage the hope that working
together we can really make the
world safe for democracy Among all
the American scout officials there is
the keenest desire to learn all about
US, to study the best that is in us and
take it to ourselves. From our age
long character, from our qualities Of
perseverance and doggedness, they can
learn something, whilst we, too, from
their buoyant enthusiasm and youth,
can help ourselves to the full. Who
knows but what the boy scout move
ment In America will have the great
est influence that any movement In
that country has ever had In shaping
the destinies of great people, and
In binding together two people hav-
ing more in common than any other
people in the world?"

TRUTH OOZES OUT

Washington.-Plain talk by hard
headed financial writer's is making it
harder to put over" the
claim that labor is responsible for
present industrial conditions. The fl
nancial writer in local paper says:
Every one seems to realize nova
days that the imitation of the war days,
attendant on the purchase of S10,000,-
100000 of our goods, with a like
amount of money loaned by our gov
ernment to our allies, was bit of
unprecedented foolishness from which
it will take years to recover"
Our seeming prosperity, says the
writer, made profteers and spend
thrifts, and turned some managers of
great corporations from the straight
and narrow path out of broad fields
of speculation and induced them to
pay great stock dividends, which have
since greatly strained their companies.

EYES TO THE BLIND.

And, God, kindly extend Thy bless
ings to the boy scouts Of Pasadena /"
So prays grateful blind man nightly
out In California This is the story
behind his prayer, a big story for all
its simplicity:
You can get back your sight" said
the doctor, provided you will take
long walks daily. Exercise is the only
thing that will help you"
Think Of it. boys! To be able to
see again, to see birds and trees and
mountains and the faces of friends
and dear ones after long blackness !
But how could he take those long
daily walks by himself? And he was
a poor man. How could he afford to
hire companion to guide him? 1t
was almost hopeless. He must go on
In darkness unless God could bring
help as by miracle.
What happened? The miracle. A
troop Of boy scouts heard of the sad
case and volunteered to take turns in
escorting the blind man daily on his
walk. Best Of ALL the doctors proph~
ecy Is coming true. The man will get
back his sight and the boy scouts OF
Pasadena will have another good turn
to their credit.

GROCERS COOPERATE

Ottawa, Ontario.-Retail grocers in
this city have formed corporation
and purchased equipment to bake
bread and cakes on the cooperative
plan. 1t is stated that "the grocers
believe that by having bakery of
their own they will be able to elimi-
nate the existing heavy overhead cost
of making daily deliveries of bread
from house to house"
These grocers are among those in
dividuals who tell trade unionists
that cooperative societies interfere
with Legitimate business" and are
therefore, not in the interest of the
public.
The grocers, however, apply co
operation when it means more profit
to them.

PUFF BALLS
Not Heavy Enough Weapon
To Harm Trusts

New York.-The proposed civil
prosecution of building material men
by the federal department of justice
was ridiculed by Samuel Untermyer,
counsel for the Lockwood building in
vestigating committee, created by the
New York legislature. The attorney
said that an equity suit against them
would be a CHASTITY farce" and that
the only method to secure results is to
indict the building material men and
try them before a jury.
There is already one equity suit
pending in the federal court in New
Jersey where it has been peacefully
slumbering for 18 MONTHS" he said.
'The facts were developed by this
committee more than seven months
ago, on which we finally forced the
finding of an Indictment after contin-
uous prodding of the federal authori-
ties of the last administration.
"The defendants should by this
time have been placed on trial. There
is nothing the matter with the case,
except the chronic procrastination of
government bureaucracy and red
tape. A suit in equity now, when
these men should be facing prison
sentences, would be a travesty of JUS
tice.
"The only kind of injunction that
these men fear, or that is of any use,
is conviction on the Indictment
The same evidence that will support
the one will support the other. The
latter has proved effective, the for
mer is worthless scrap of paper.
st is just this sort of soft pedal
ling and pussyfooting in pretending
to pursue the big powerful fellows for
violating the antitrust laws that has
brought us to our present deplorable
state, where these men have almost
gotten beyond the reach of the law
There must be an end to this. The
situation is far too serious
81 hereby serve notice on the de.
partment of justice that if it be true
as currently reported, that they in
tend to fiddle with this grave peri
while the people of the country are
being day by day worse exploited
they will have the house tumblins
over their ears before they get much
further on that line"

lows:
"You have asked me for an express
sion regarding the subject of saving

we'll convinced that saving money is
largely a matter of habit, and people
who make a good beginning at it
presently discover that 1t is by no
means impossible and it is altogether
a good thing to do. Just at this juno
ture in the worlds and our country's S
affairs it is certainly one of the most
useful contributions that people
could possibly make to putting the
world right. | do not believe there
is any other way to straighten out
the tangle Of financial and economic
concerns into which the world has
been precipitated by the war, except
to produce a good deal more than
we consume, which means, to save
and by our savings to reestablish

that the public may take this lesson

LITTLE SCHOOL
GIRLS
Stick With Daddy" Though
They Have to Go With
Bare Feet

Indianapolis. elements
who ignore the spirit of organized
labor could read with profit the re-
port of Van A. Bittner, representative
of the United Mine Workers, in
charge of the recent Alabama coal
strike.
The unionist reprints this letter
from two little girls at Cordova:
eve two little girls had to quit
school because we have no shoes.
Mr. Bittner, our dear daddy is real
union man and mamma and us would
MT let him scab if we never got any
shoes. We surely thank the union
for what it has done for us. If you
can do anything for us we will never
forget it and if you can't, we are in
the strike to win, just the same"
From the reading of this pathetic
letter." says Bittner, "it can easily be
seen why it was necessary to distrib-
ute shoes and clothing to the striking
miners and their families"
Ninety-nine per cent of these min
ers live in company shacks that are
declared disgrace to civilization.
When the miners were evicted, the
union fought the case to the state
supreme court, which decided against
the workers. Then 1000 tents were
purchased and tent colonies erected
overnight.
Over half million pounds of pro-
visions were distributed by the union
among the $4,000 men, women and
children during the strike. The union
distributed these provisions through
one central agency at Birmingham to
107 points.
The union also cared for the sick
and buried the dead
"Any man who is member of our
great union" says Bittner, 'can we'll
be proud of the aid that was furnish
ed the striking miners and their fam
lilies in Alabama by the Uniter Mine
| Workers of America. What other in
stitution on earth can feed, clothe
and house, as we'll as give necessary
medical and hospital aid to $4,000
men, women and children for seven
months ?"

PRETENSE CAST
ASIDE
BY Employing Printers In
"Open Shop Campaign

Indianapolis. "The employing
printers of America" an anti-union
organization that attaches "open
shop" to it's title, has thrown aside
all pretense in its war against print
ing trade unions that demand enforce
ment of 44-hour agreement made
two years ago.
In the last strike bulletin of the
international Typographical Union
is printed this official statement from
the employers bulletin:
Having declared your plant an
open shop it is advisable to make
this policy decisive and permanent
by adopting the American plan of en-
ployment to preclude all possibility of
labor union interference in the fu-
ture.
"Under the American plan the en-
ployer exercises his fundamental
right of private contract, dealing with
employees as individuals and declining
to deal with them through the me-
dunn of any organization. To fore
stall the intervention of professional
meddlers and to safeguard his unde-
nable right to run his own business
as he sees fit, every employer should
take the wise precaution to include in
each individual employment contract
a clause in which the person employed
agrees that during the term of his
employment he will not hold member
ship in any labor union"
