decree of the BoIshevist govern
ment of January, 1922, forbids the
teaching of catechism in the churches
and in private homes. "The churches"
says the decree, "are placed at the

may be held, but that they may be
attended only by Citizens over

''In order radically to prevent any

a prominent New York financier was
asked whether he thought ten dollars
week fair wage for longshore-
man who was married and had wife
and children dependent on him for
support. He replied in the affirmative.
He said he believed it was, If that
was all the longshoreman could get,
and he took it. A socialist newspaper,
commenting on the opinion Of the
financier, remarked:
Sufficient wages constitute all the
laborer can get; and if this formula
was approved by the great financier in
the case of a longshoreman, it was
good for the entire labor class
This incident illustrates very we'll
the false extremes in the present-day
standard in the matter of labor re-
muneration. From the viewpoint of
the capitalist, the laborer need be
given no higher wage than he can be
forced to take by the controlling nee
essities Of existence. In the mind of
the radical workman, the laborer is
entitled to receive and to take all that
he can get"

PLAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS

WORLD TO ATTEND.

Catholics in Czecho-Slovakia, who
are slowly winning back their free
dom after three tempestuous years,
have completed preparations for three
important meetings to be held at
Brunn, this year. The final event will
be an international congress of Cath
olic societies, to which Catholic or
ganizations from the countries of the
world will be invited, and which will
be brought to an end on the feast of
the Assumption.
The program will be under the di-
rection of the Czecho-Slovak Eagle
Federation, organized in 1902 as an
educational and athletic society and
which claims 10000 members united
in twenty-four local federations. 1t
has been one of the great bulwarks
of the Church against the infidelity
and schism which resulted from the
coup d'etat of 1918, when the Orel
formed voluntary corps against the
Magyars who invaded the new repub-
lie.

The fight against Catholic teachers

started a year ago and resulting at
that time in the dismissal of the prin-
cipal of local grammar school, has
been renewed, and efforts are being
made to drop from the public school

cipals.
The fight is being led by Commits
sioner Carl Hutcheson of the Board of
Education, who introduced measure
providing that all Catholics be dis
missed from the service. The adj
visory committee of teachers refused
to consider the resolution. Mayor
James Key objected to 1t because 1t
was too sweeping. The measure was
then amended to provide that call

from Atlanta public schools unless
they renounce the policy OF that

ATTORNEY EXPLAINS JUSTICE OF.
cHURcH's POSITION ON LABOR
-ATHEIsM MAKES PRoFITEERs
AND ANARCHISTS.

The social question is essentially a
moral and religious question, declared
Thomas w. Grove, attorney for a
large corporation, in an address to
the Parish Forum at the Church of
the Blessed Sacrament, Brooklyn.
IF there is no God" said Mr.. Grove,
why should capitalists not be usur-
ers, extortioners, profiteers? And for
the same reason, why should laborers
not be anarchists, nihilists, socialists,
bolshevists? If man is only matter,
having the same origin and the same
final destiny of the brute, why should
man not live like the brute?
"The Church demands that the
worker shall receive at least a living
wage, and she warns all governments
that it is their primary purpose and
function to enforce the recognition of
this right of the workers.

lustrate and contrast the false stand

that they are supported by the tax
payers of all varieties of religious
opinion, should be singularly free
from this sort Of thing. While only
those who elect to do so send their
children to these schools, yet whether
they send them or not, they are taxed
impartially to support them. Funda-
mentally, the proposal of the Commits
sioner is unsound and untenable-in
violent opposition, indeed, to our most
cherished ideals Of thought"
Should Atlanta sanction the pro-
posed resolution, she would stand be-
fore the country convicted of bigotry,
intolerance, and un-Americanism,"
says The Journal.
"The Constitution" also condemned
the movement editorially, and printed
letters from leading citizens deploring
the measure. "Is it according to the
state constitution or the character OF
Atlanta that person should change
religion to become an employee OF the
city," asks one prominent Atlanta
woman, while another writes: 81 am
dyed-in-the-wool Methodist, and have
always been, but I happen to know,
because my family is one Of Atlanta's
pioneer families, that, OF the three
founders OF the public school system
of Atlanta, one, David Mayer, was a
Jew, and the second, John Flynn, was
a Catholic" aj
ri Mayor Key Drops Bigot. =
Last year Hutcheson had as an ally
in his fight against Catholic teachers,
Councilman Sims, chairman of the
City Council Committee on Education,
and ex oficio a member of the Board
of Education. Mayor Key refused to-
reappoint him chairman Of the COM
mittee. Sims was the mover of the
resolution to have the City Council
investigate the knights of Columbus.

SOVIET STRIKES AT CHURCH

ing of feast days, or to take them to
church, under pain of imprisonment.
Sermons Now Censored.
On December 26, 1921, decree was
issued compelling all priests to sub
nit the text of their sermons for CEN
sorship.
The policy of the Soviets is the de-
struction of the Church, and no meas
ure is neglected which will succeed in
achieving this object.
According to Soviet laws. parish
has no civil status, and is considered
merely as a group of individuals,
sort of committee, or soviet, which
must negotiate with the government
authorities for permission to use the
churches and religious objects, all Of
which are considered to be the prop
erty of the nation.
Church Vessels confiscated.
By virtue of this decision the
Soviet authorities have recently or
dered all local soviets to confiscate all
gold and silver church vessels and or
naments and all precious stones still
remaining in the churches. In addi-
ton to this wholesale confiscation,
enormous taxes are being imposed on
the churches. In Mohilew, for in.
stance, the Church was ordered to pay
tax of 80 million rubles or submit
to sale by auction.
These measures are particularly OPP
pressive when it is considered that all
sources of revenue have long since
been confiscated, that even the rec
tories have been seized, and that the
priests are obliged to seek homes and
support among their parishioners.
