progress or not. The edlct applles
to all of the churches in the arcn-
diocese of Milwaukee. 1t is direct
ed to the pastors of the various
churches who are ordered TO en-
force it. In addressing his priests
the archbishop said:
Let the pastor publish as rule
for the parish that no woman OF

Girls can go hiking or walking
with all the comfort desirable in

without dressing like boys.
Girls in so-called hiking suits
must not be allowed to enter a

this outrageous fashion, we know,
rests principally with the parents
of these hiking girls. Many CT

pastor PLEADS
FOR RIGHTS OF
LABOR UNIONS
Saws Souls of Work
= ers Cry Out for
JUSTICE

Chicago, May 23.-The church
can no longer keep away from the
issues of right and justice in the
industrial world, Prof. John H. Gray
of Carleton college, Northheld,
Mimi, said today in an address be
fore the National Conference OF the
Methodist church, in speaking on
christianity and Economic Order. .
IF the church remains neutral
it becomes the representative OF the
small, powerful class and ceases TO
have any influence with the mass
of mankind" he said. THE church
has been the strongest agency for
right and justice and in no other
agency is there any hope today.
"Unionism has been banished
from the steel and oil industries
and with it the rights of assembly
and free speech. These rights are
fundamental if labor is to defend
itself. Today the combined inter
ests are making an effort to drive
unionism from the railroads and
coal mines, and in fact all other
| industries.
DepdOres Class War.
| class war is as ueSlI uCHlNe do IA
! ternational militarism. If exploi'
tation is to be checked, social con
troll must be exercised over in
! dustry. The antitrust laws have
proved futile There has been NJ
shortening of the working hours fol
steel mill employees and in mos
cases the II hour day still prevails
| The workers want more wages
more schools and more churches
but their souls cry out for justice
preaching the Gospel falls o.
deaf ears"
