Iop of the diocese, Mgr. de Cormont.
The Bishop had gone to the town
hall to present to the Minister the
compliments of the clergy, and was
preparing to withdraw, with his
priests, when M. Cheron placed his
hand on his arm, and asked him to go
with him to the portico, and present
himself to the crowd assembled in
the garden. There the Minister made
an address, and after having publicly
greeted in the person of Bishop de
Cormont the representative of Him
who said Love one another" M.
lGheron declared that the ideal of the
Republic was to love one another and
help one another, and that the people
of the Landes province were able,
better than any other, to realize this
Ideal. since they had given to the
world the immortal hero Of devotion
and charity whose name was Vincent
de Paul.

Catholic Organization

raised We might be much worse enc
mics of the Catholic Church. There is
great work, therefore, to be done by
the priests and people in America
who have received the gift of faith,
That is to place it before the public,
to place it before Americans who are
anxious to know. There is cropping
after the supernatural. There is no
man who does not realize that his

Reasons for Welfare Council.
Now, / think it would be good
thing to place before you briefly the
story of the Bishops meeting and the
works which the Bishops undertook.
In 1918 the golden jubilee of the
Ecclesiastical Head of the Archdiocese
CT Baltimore) the Hierarchy of Amer
lea came together to do honors to
their Chief. In planning that event,
| a feeling was aroused among them
that the time had come when all
should get together and endeavor by
organized methods to bring our people
| more closely together and to organize
| for the purpose of handling in ma
| tional way what were for us national
problems. There were problems that
had to be handled in national way if
/, we were to perform our duty to our
country. There were problems that
we had to perform If we were to do
our duty to our God and to the sacred
trust given to our care Individual
Bishops realized that they could not
do that work with no point of con.
| tact with their brothers in the episco
pate. Up to that time belonged to this
Iprovince of Baltimore. of which the
head was the Cardinal of Baltimore

ing assumed to consist of husband
and a wife and three dependent chill
dren under sixteen years of age"
This constitutes the Board de-
| clares, "a bit of mellifuous phrase
| ology well calculated to deceive the
| unthinking"
In making it's decision, the Railroad
Labor Board has gone counter to
! Catholic social teaching. The Pas
| ltoral Letter of the American hierarchy
has passage which insists upon the
right and points out the need of an
| adequate definition of the living wage
and its realization in practice through
whatever means are legitimate and
effective. The Pastoral Letter in
cludes in its definition more liberal
provisions than are found in the def.
milton Of the railroad employees. 1t
| says that "a living wage includes not
merely decent maintenance for the
present, but also a reasonable pro
vision for such future needs as sick.
ness, invalidity, and old age"
The Railroad Labor Board uses mis-
leading figures to bolster its refusal
to pay living wage to the section
men. 1t says that if they were paid
a minimum of forty-eight cents an
hour, the differentials for other sec.
tfon men and other classes of railroad
men would increase wages 50.45eo and
add billion and a quarter to the
wage bill. The Board. in making this
statement, misrepresents the living
wage theory, for it would not be nee
essary to continue the differences be-
tween section men in one part Of the
country and the other, nor increase
the wages of shop men, train men
and engine men in exactly the same
proportion

CONTRADICTORY STATEMENT

The Railroad Labor Board declares
that it is in favor of a living wage
and that it has never established
wages below that standard. In the
same breath it makes ruling which
raises the wages of common labor two
cents an hour because wages in out
side industry have been increased

theory itself as fantastic. "a bit of

Rev. Alexander McGafin, associate
pastor of the Presbyterian church of
the Covenant, perhaps the most
representative Of it's denomination in
Cleveland, Ohio, replied to a ques-
tionnaire Of a local newspaper a few
days ago and gave his views on sew
eral aspects of Professionalism. Among
several questions repliedto by DIR. Nc
Gaffin were:
"Is Professionalism in jeopardy
'It is putting religion in jeopardy
by its sectarianism and senseless
antiquated divisions As schismatic
movement, it is in its dotage."
''Who or what are the enemies of
united church,
"Bigoted sectarians. They would
split Christ to pieces; doctrinarians
and ecclesiastical bureaucrats are
the sticklers. The multitude of
Christian people just want to worship
God and to serve Christ after the
manner of the great and simple serv-
ices of the Son of Man. There are

J. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore,
who spoke in GonZaga College Audito-
rum last week on the work of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Council, and
the wave of hostility to the Church
now evidenced in America.
The occasion was the first reception
given His Grace by the Washington
District Council of the National Coun'

took occasion to review briefly the
situation which made necessary the
formation of the Welfare Council
and to emphasize its substantial
achievements in the few years of it's
