UNIONS PREPARING
 FOR BIGGEST STRIKE
Leaders Of Railroad and Mine Or
 ganizati0ns Active

l Cincinnati, June 19. (By Associat. ed .Press) )-Three factors will win vic. tory for the miners and railroad mer in common strike, it was predicted today by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, who will meet tomorrow night with rail union chiefs. to consider joint strike action | in the threatened rail walkout of ap- l proximately 1,000,o00 men.
 Joining of forces of these organiza- | tions, he said, would first have a 1 marked moral influence on labor gen. orally; second. would dislocate the | transportation system of the nation and third would affect the industrial | fabric.
 Considerably, ten railroad union presidents made public last night a letter to the railroad labor board announcing their intention of going through with the strike if one is authorized by the vote of the unions mem bers. B. M. Jewel, head of the railway employees department, stated that the vote cast so far has been overwhelming for a walkout
 MT. Lewis said all industry is large ly a matter of transportation and approximately third of the busi- ness of the railroads is hauling coal.
 Paralyze Industry.
 "A strike of 100000 or more rail- roaders," he continued, would thus cause such dislocation of all indus try that the country would soon be prostrated and the railroad and the mine corporations would come to terms with their workers
 Because of the long hauls, the character of the highways and their number and the nature of the tonnage to be carried auxiliary transport fa cilities, such as motor trucks, cannot be used effectively as strike breaking agencies in America as they were in Great Britain and other countries, France for instance"
 The railroad union heads in their letter declared they had done every thing to avert a strike, asserted there was no appeal from the railroad boards decision cutting wages and working conditions and re- iterated their statement that railroad employees under the transportation act are entitled to a living wage

RECTOR DEPLORES MIXING CHURCH
 WITH COMMERCIALENT TREATMENTS
Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe Sends a Message to Other Churches as We'll as His Own Congregation.

That many churches nowadays seem to rely altogether too much or entertainment in one form or m. other in order to secure the full in, terest of the congregation, is tho opinion Of Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe a. voiced in his timely and interesting sermon given in the assembly room of the parish hall at the new church al the II o'clock services yesterday morning.
 That some people go to church merely to be amused or entertained at social gathering rather than to express devout religious faith in God is a thing to be deeply regretted and ought to be stopped, Rev Mir. Sutcliffe said.
 Just as the brains and muscles Of a person maintain their strength by constant use and exercise so would people constantly renew and strength en their faith in God by constant attendance at church services and take an active part in religious de- NplicIo' llf ItClDI duueu.
 True Purpose of Churches
 Rev. Mir. Sutcliffe further stated that the only true purpose of the church Is for religious worship and that people can go elsewhere for their entertainment. He did not believe that the church should be commer- cialized in order to compete with the outside world.
 He also said that he was sorry to see that a mere announcement of coming religious sermon was not enough to make the people come to church but the announcement of an entertainment seemed as a drawing card.
 While delivering his sermon, Rev. MT. Sutcliffe recognized the fact that there were possibly several persons in the congregation who were not members of St. Marks church but belonged to churches elsewhere and he sincerely urged them to carry this message home to their own respective church.
 In conclusion. Rev MT. sutcliffe said that he hoped that this new church the St. Marks congrega ton was completing, would be built and maintained on these true religious principles.
 Announcement was made of the fact that the new church auditorium would not be completed for some time it is expected to hold serv- ot, !, y, til tfAt time the II o'clock services will be held in the assembly hall of the new parish rooms and the com munion services will be held in the chapel.
