JRCHES ASKED
10 RAP AT CRIME
xanapOlis Federation Sends
letters to State Pastors.

The power OF Indiana churches is in
voked in a letter sent out by Charles
II. Wirders, executive secretary of the
Indianapolis Church Federation, TO check
the spread Of lawlessness. The letter,
which was authorized at a meeting Of
the Ministers Alliance Dec. 6, appeals
to the ministers to set aside Jan. o for
special sermons relative to the sacredness
OF law and the Importance Of observing
the tenets of the statutes
1t Is interesting to note that Mr.
Winders' letter points out that gambling
IN high places as well as low is not IN
common and that the social evil is
again seeking to entrench itself in many
cities" and that he mentions Indianap
oils as a special example.
Mr.. Winders' letter is as follows:
The Minister'S Alliance on Monday,
Dec 9Th, voted unanimously to devote
az least one service. on a Sunday to be
designated by the Church Federation, to
sermon dealing with the sacredness of
-, the importance Of its observance by
I'll and its strict enforcement under all
conditions. There seems to be sweeping
for and disregard Of law. The moral tone
OF our citizens seems to be undergoing
a change for the worse.
POolrOoms. picture and vaudeville
open on Sunday contrary to law. The
Eighteenth amendment is frequently and
nagrantly violated. Gambling in high
places as well as low is not uncommon.
The social evil is again seeking 10 en-
trench itself in many cities, dncluding
our own) from which it was for a time
expelled. These pOOlrooms are often
pisces Of lawnessness and crime and
many of them are frequented by minors.
The picture shows on the whole are not
improving but are rather growing more
Objectionable and some vaudeville houses
are apparently attempting to see how far
they can go with suggestiveness and IN
deceney
the growing divorce evil. the decreasing
influence of the home and the lack Of
parental interest and control.
The time has come when the churches
should give forth no uncertain sound. IT,
is not time for criticism and denun
citation but for q creative and cOnstruc-
tive program. Public sentiment is to he
created and find expression in the voice
of the church and the community. The
church cannot stand for law violation
nor can 1t stand for the enacting of laws
which permit the undermining Of insti
tutions and traditions on which the very
life of our nation depends.
After consultation with a number OF
preachers OF the city. we have decided
that Jan. 9th would be the most Oppor-
tune time to launch this campaign. We
hope to make 1t as general as possible
We shall try 10 get before the newspapers
and clubs and other organizations with
our plea during the week following Jan.
9th and shall seek in every way possible
70 create a sentiment that will stand for
the highest and best in the life of our
city.
This request is being made Of all the
churches OF the State, in the hope of
making this campaign, in the interest
or law enforcement Statewide

HOP ON WORKERS
Idle Garment Hands Mob
Charged by Police.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Strike rioting
broke out in Brooklyn today when 200
idle garment workers attacked a truck
carrying workers to a factory. The
truck was wrecked and the occupants
were dragged into the street and beaten.
Many Of the rioters were women riot
call was sent in, and thirty policemen
formed a flying wedge and drove into
the mob. Four persons were knocked
senseless with police clubs and their
bodies lay in the street while the battle
ragged over them.
The fight continued for half an hour,
the attackers being reinforced by roughs
from the neighbOrhood whose only rea-
son for joining the fray was their loce
of a good scrap.
More than a score were injured by
flying missiles, but only the four who
were knocked out by the policemen re-
quired medical attention.
Ten arrests were made.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-In the dingy
basement Of a little church on the east
side a gray haired old man today sat
playing on his cracked guitar, entertain
ing a jObless army of 200 without food,
bed or money, who took possession of
the gymnasium of st. Marks Chapel.
The little army seized the gymnasium
after futile efforts to gain permission
TO use the basement. The pastor, who
made no effort to disturb the invaders,
announced to them he was heartily in
favor of their maneuver.

George B. Ellis, the musician. and one
OF the leaders. 1--WE got Disguised when
there was no action on our petition to

Just that the world should provide for
these unfortunate men out of work a
place to sleep and eat, and if the world
don't give it to them they should go

FLORIDA PROSPERITY.

The Literary Digest in its issue of
February IL carried a resume of eco
nomic conditions throughout the coun-
try. In this review 10 mentioned Flor

the Tampa Tribune to the effect that
that city and section was forging
ahead at rapid rate, and again quot

Yet in another section the Digest
carried a reproduction of the Chi

Florida was represented as entirely

slump
The Tribune could not have been
more dishonest in it's review Florida
Is far from being in a slump. 1t is
a physical impossibility for Florida

when every northern tourist who can

land of sunshine and opportunity.
But aside from the tourists. Florida

in the union. Business slumped some

Thus you are paying tribune to the
Florida free range cattle men through
another channel to men who consti-

population. whose cattle are assessed
at only thirty million dollars, who
bring in from these cattle only about
five millions annually and whose only
expense in breeding on free ranges
which they do not own lies in a mini

cattle they own.

for sadly needed change at the next
general elecuon-a change that will
do away with the cattle tick which
has now closed all states to Florida's
tick-ridden cattle; that will allow
progress to be made in establishing
farms, gardens groves and beautiful
highways, that will make the state
the great live stock center that it
should be.
