WILL,
CONTROL MINES
Operators and Unions Have Delayed
Agreement So Long that Gov
ernment loses Patience
NO CARS GIVEN TO PROFrTEERS
Railroads and Public Utilities Allowed
Priority Rights

The governments emergency coal
control program will begin to func-
tion within few hours.
In making this announcement Sec
retary Hoover said ratification Of the
plan is within sight and If co-opera-
tion was withheld in any, district the
government would appoint the neces-
sary local committees.
The control plan is intended to ap-
ply to all coal produced, whether in
union or nonunion fields and it is in
dicated that service orders by the in
terstate commerce commission pro-
viding for priorities in the ALLEGATION
Of coal cars may be expected almost
Immediately.
In regard to the coal strike, Mr..
Hoover declares that the government
has exhausted every means toward q
settlement, that it offered arbitration
which was rejected and that the mat
ter to be taken care Of now is the dis
tribution Of coal as produced.
It is the intention Of the govern
ment to prevent any advance in coal
prices and under the emergency pro-
gram no freight cars will be allocated
to those who try to gouge the public.
The immediate policy in the situa-
tion is declared to be continuation
of the governments endeavors to
furnish protection to men willing to
work in the mines and to put into mo-
tion the machinery decided upon for
distribution Of the dwindling coal sup
ply. Possible enaction Of new legis-
lation is indicated at this time.
On Tuesday the interstate commerce
commission declared that an emergen-
cy existed in transportation in terri
tory east Of the Mississippi river, re-
quiring it to direct routing Of ship
ments Of all essential commodities and
to fix priority for the movement Of
foed, perishable products, live stock,
coal and other fuel.
Priority orders designed to bring
about distribution Of the nations coal
stocks to the best advantage to the
public have been completed by the
commission and are ready for issu-
ance. Priority to coal shipments will
be furnished first to railroads and
then in the. order named to public
utilities, ice plants, manufacturing
plants for public consumption and re-

GRAIN GRADING
DEMONSTRATION
Meeting to Be Held in Oakes Friday,
July 20, in Charge of Federal
Supervisor
PLAN IS TO INFORM GROWERS
@.Know Your Own Wheat" Will Be
Slogan This Fall

A "Know Your Own Wheat" cam
paign to instruct farmers and elevator
men in the principles Of federal grain
grading will be opened at Oakes to-
morrow at a meeting to be held in the
city hall and at which practical dem
onstrations will be made.
j. Q. Adams, grain supervisor from
the United States department Of agri-
culture in Minnesota, is in charge Of
the demonstration and through his ef-
forts farmers and elevator men, to-
gether with all those interested in the
work, will be given the advantage Of
understanding the terminal elevator
gradings. The apparatus was assem-
bled early this week and a welcome
is extended by the farm bureau to
everybody interested.
The grading of wheat is the primary
matter for consideration at these
demonstrations, which will show the
method Of grading for test weight and
dockage, enabling the farmer to deter
mine for himself the quality and grade
of the grain he is placing on the mar
ket. Factors entering into the grad
ing of wheat will be demonstrated, in
cluding what constitutes a grade and
how it is arrived at. One important
factor in the final grade test cannot
be shown with the apparatus on hand,
namely, the gluten content and its
quality, as this must be determined
in laboratories.
In speaking Of the purpose Of CIV
ing the demonstrations, Mr.. Adams
said that the government proposes to
put on purely educational campaign
for the benefit Of farmers and grain
buyers. Federal inspection has bean
established since 1916 for the purpose
Of standardizing grading at all the
grain centers in the country. Before
this timeseach state had its own rules
for grading and each maintained its

THE CARE OF noN.cATHoLIcs.

The parish of Hethe f0xon) lis in ex-
tent as large as London. 1t is served
by one priest, Rev. John Budgeon, who
finds it impossible to give his flock,
scattered about the three counties of
Oxford, buckingham and NorthaHlp-
ton, the services he would wish. More
over, he has taken to heart the com
mand of the cedex to look upon resi-
dent mono Catholics as part Of his flock.
A band Of workers are at present busy
amongst this large non-Catholic body,
with Father Vincent McNabb, o. p,
and the Rev. DIR. John Lopes at their
head. Outdoor meetings in the Mar
ket Square at Deddington have been a
surprise even to the missioners. But
the success of the open-air gatherings
has been largely due to the carefully
organized house-to-house visiting dur

KNOW YOUR RELIGION.

Practically every Catholic, some
time or other, is called upon to answer
some query about Catholic customs,
history or even dogmas. And yet,
how many of us are unable to answer
simple questions concerning our faith.
What shock it is to the well-meaning
inquirer when his Catholic friend is
unable to explain the fundamentals of
his religion or the attitude of his
Church on certain Questions of the
day.
It is true that every practical Cath
Ollie has at some time studied the
principles of his religion, and under
stands a, great deal concerning it. But
how often do we forget what we once
knew so we'll! How often, too, do
new questions arise, which the Church
answers, but of which we are ignorant,
Laymen, of course, are not expected to
have the knowledge of theology and
kindred subjects which priest has
acquired only through long years OF
study. Nevertheless, every practical
Catholic ought to be able to defend
the Church intelligently, and to give
satisfactory answers to simple queries
about it.
Again, we ought not only to sub
scribe to Catholic periodicals, but we
ought to read them, There is wealth
of practical knowledge on our religion
in our magazines and newspapers
We must learn to read these period.

munity now protecting M. Painleve
has shown itself opposed to such
prosecution.
By virtue of the constitution, French
deputies and senators cannot be prose-
cuted without the authorization of the
legislative body to which they belong.
When the chamber received notice Of
the complaint against M. Painleve by
the clergy of Montpelier it immediate
ly appointed committee of eleven
members to study the affair. OF these,
only one declared himself in favor Of
lifting the parliamentary immunity.
The others declared that in his sub
sequent speeches M. Painleve had left
no trace Of the injury contained in the
sentence attributed to him at Mont
pellier: '.It was the men in the black
robes who were the slackers during
the war" For this reason they con-
slider that there is no further cause
for legal prosecution.

FRENCH SOLDIER PRIESTS
SUING DEPUTY FOR LIBEL
M. PAINLEvE, FORMER MINISTER
or WAR AND PREMIER OF
FRANCE, TO ACCOUNT FOR

CLERGY.
(By NJ. MASSIANr.)

Thy NJ. MASSlANl.1 ssg
lParis Correspondent, N. C. w. C.
Il ., News Service
I As stated in cable to the n. G. w
c., the priests of the diocese of Mont
.pellier have decided to bring suit for
libel of the priesthood against NJ
Painleve, former Minister of, War and
Premier of France for several months
in 1917. AS M. Painleye is now deputy
the Chamber had to be petitioned to
lift the parliamentary immunity which
now protects him, before steps could
be taken to bring suit. The petition
sent to the Chamber bears the sigma
lures Of 276 priests, all former
soldiers, the majority of them deco
rated for valer during the war.
The reasons for this action are as
follows,
In the absence Of M. Caillaux, ban
ished from Paris by decision of the
High Court, M. Painleve is president
Of the 'Ligue della Repubhque," a rad
icalsocialist organization which is
making a campaign to control Parlia
ment in 1924. Not long ago, M. Pain
leE6 at a banquet spoke of the neces
sity of defending the public schools
against the clerical reaction" The
local radical paper, lie Petit Me
ridional," commenting ON the speech
attributed the following statement to
M. Painleve: 49,,
1T was not the public school teach
ers who were slackers during the war
it was the men in black cassocks.''

Il. As soon as this statement became
known a large numbers of papers

everywhere tomorrow, so that every

TRIBUTE TO THE NURSE.

In addressing a class of graduate
nurses recently, Catholic Bishop paid
this tribute to the noble profession:
Your calling is one of the few pro-
LESSONS in which livelihood may be
gained by works of mercy.
For, Tito visit the sick is a corporal

one to watch by their bedside day and
night, to lift their limp bodies, to
smooth the pillow under their aching
heads, to wipe the cold sweat from
their foreheads, to administer to them
their food and medicine, to cheer them,
to nurse them back to health, or at
least, prepare them for a happy deathg

The Good Samaritan.
Martha has her praise and reward
because she prepared for Christ His
bodily food. You will prepare it for
Him in person of His sick brethren.
Wherever the Gospel shall be
preached Mary Magdalen's name will
be held in memory, because she wash
ed and wiped the sacred feet of Jesus
aud amounted His body. You follow
her example whenever you battle Ills
feet, who are the sick poor.
Veronica wiped the sweat and blood
Off His face with napkin. You do
the same when you wipe the faces of
His brethren.
Simon the Cyrenean helped Christ
to carry His cross. You help His chill
dren to do SO.
You are the Good Samaritan who
poured wine and oil into the bleeding
wounds Of the wayfarer who journey
ed from Jerusalem down to Jericho,
fell into the hands of robbers, was
stripped Of his raiment, was wounded
and left half dead.
In your profession you follow in the
footsteps of Christ, who went up and
down the Holy Land healing the sick.
The work which you perform is SO
pleasing in the eyes of God that it was
undertaken by the greatest Saints and
by pious ladies of the highest birth

ment attributed to M. Painleye by lie

In the name of his colleague M. de

killed in the war, and another son,
also priest, badly disabled; and in
the name of another colleague, M.

Vallat asks the former premier wheth-
er he is willing to take back his words
or whether he assumes full RESPONSE
bility for them.
PainIeve Embarrassed.
M. Painleve answer revealed en-
barrassment. He stated first that the
Petit MeridionaP' had misquoted
him. But; although less violent, the
words which he admits having spoken
are no less unacceptable. This is what
he claimsato have said:
.Official statistics concerning the
losses of the war show that the per-
sonnet of our public schools tone dead

glorious record. Why do not those
who attack them SO bitterly publish
similar statistics concerning the num-
Der of priests modified? Is it because
despite the numerous examples Of he
|roes who abandoned their cassocks to
run to the battlefield, it is feared that
the difference between the two sets of
statistics would be too great ?" And

doubtless the Church fused its influ-
ence" to keep its priests away from
the firing line.
