SERVING CHRIST
IS ESSENTIAL TO
WORLDS PROBLEM
Pastoral Letter From the
Episcopal Bishops
Read to Bishops

Portland, Oregon, Sept, 23.-Serv-
ice, unity and devotion to Christian
principals, are emphasized in the pas
torial letter read today at the clos
ng services of the forty-seventh tri-
ennial convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the United
States which has been in session here
since September 6.
The clergy and the laity of the
church are enjoined in this letter to
put the principles of Christ into eff
feet to solve the present-day prob
lens of industry, labor and of family
life. Outstanding passages in the
letter follow:
"Service-It is the lesson whcih
many of the members of this church
have special opportunity to apply to
industrial life. Were great corpo-
rations to realize that they are and
must be primarily corporations for
public serice rather than for private
profit it would be easier to reply to
agitators who threaten their peace
and prosperity.
And Labor-The unions will be as
cordially hated as the most unpopu-
lar of industrial trusts if they neg
lect the call to serve while insisting
on the right to have. Efficiency in
labor, better work, as well as better
wages-this must be the program if
industrial justice is also demanded.
"The young people of today are
exactly what we make them. Too
frequently have parents advocated
their position of direction and leader
ship. Certainly they have not exer-
csied strong spiritual influence by
example as well as precept in hold
! ing the simple and natural religious
home life"

Tallahassee, Sept. 23.-Judge ]. R.

The governor took no action in re-

ed by more than 1OG st. Lucie county
citizens charging the officials with

stated that overwhelming evidence

that Judge johnson had not coop
Grated with them in law enforce
ment, especially as relating to prohi-

The complaint against the judge
and prosecutors and Governor Har-
dee's action is the outgrowth of con-
flict between those offices and that
fo Sheriff Merritt, who was recently
installed in his position on a strin-
gent law enforcement platform. Sher-
iff Merritt's predecessor was charged
with laxity. The first day of his
term of office the sheriff came into
the limelight by spectacular liquor
hunt.
A few weeks after he came into
office the judge issued a ruling that

obtained for a liquor search the sus-

chemical analysis to determine its
real nature. He said his ruling was
in accordance with one by the Flor

Sheriff Merritt since that time has

Holding 1t Out on
Consumers
CBy Associated Press }

Detroit, Sept. 23.-Henry Ford, in
a newspaper interview late today,
advised the people of the country to
"buy as little coal as possible now,"
declaring "coal prices are tumbling."
Mr.. Ford granted the interview
shortly after his return from south
ern Ohio, where he arranged for an
uninterrupted movement of coal to
his Detroit industries.
Tell the people of the whole world
if you can" he said, that if they
would save money they should not
buy coal in any great amount now.
Tell them to buy only enough to get
along with, for coal prices are tum-
bling and they will go much lower.
They will have opportunity later on
to get their winter coal much more
cheaply
Mr.. Ford, in company with his
son, Edsel, president of the Ford Mo
tor company, spent three days along
the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton rail
road, the manufacturers property,
and saw hundreds of thousands of
tons of coal moving northward, he
said. They arranged for an ample
supply of fuel for the Ford plants
for the next sixty days, he an
nounced.
There is enough coal above the
ground to run the country for a
long time" Mr. Ford said, "The
high prices were made because the
supply was held back from the mar.
kets. But the pric els falling rapid
tly. We bought 500 cars of coal ir
Toledo for $5 a ton. That, of course
includes the freight rates from the
mines to Toledo"

ernment's case. Donald r. Richberg,
of counsel for the shopmen, said he
would take an appeal at once from
the ruling.
While the decision was interpreted
as holding in effect that the strikers
were accountable for acts of violence,
whether these acts were committed
by the strikers or not, it's exact form
will be argued before Judge Wilker-
son next Monday pending which the

Death Blow to Unions.
In a statement tonight Mr. Rich

death blow to all big unions because
/ it will render them powerless if it is

it was the internal combustion motor
and the automobile that had caused
this change.
The inference to be drawn from Mr..
Welch's statements was that the
Standard Oil Company was not to be
held responsible for the increase in
gasoline prices of which consumers
have been complaining. Mr. WEIGH in
dictated that only small fraction of
the refneries we're Standard and that
the run of gasoline daily by the indie

"In every branch of the petroleum

change Is the development Of the in
