EPISCOPAL CHURCHES
HEAR NOTHING OF THE
PRAYER FOR CATHOLICS

Catholic churches thruout the
world prayed for the church in
Mexico yesterday as part of the vat
leans campaign to assist the Mex
lean clergy in its fight against tho
constitution of 1917, being enforced
for the first time by the Gales gov
eminent. In the United States the
propaganda is particularly Intense
among catholics because Of the pos
sibility of this country's interven.
ton if sufficient pressure is brought
to bear.
The extent of the movement ls
indicated by the fact thar the cath.
olics are being Joined by protestants
in prayers for the church in Mexico.
The national publication of tho
Episcopal church, Living Age, con,
tains a plea for all protestants to
pray with the catholics for "the per-
secuted church in Mexico"
The journal says that suspension
OF catholic services in Mexico by
the catholic church may very
likely be followed by like action on
our part"
1--WE hope" II adds, that many
other American Christians than Ro.
man Catholics will carry out the
earnest suggestion of the pope for
united prayer on Aug. I when tho
new regime begins"
In Chicago several Episcopal
churches announced that they had
heard nothing Of the PROPOSED
prayers.

Especial to The Daily worker)


PAssAIc, N. j., Aug. I. - "soon
we shall go back into the mills with
an unbreakable union" declared
Albert Weisbord, leader of the Pas
sale textile strike at the mass meet
ing of the strikers at which they dis
cussed the terms of settlement pres
ented to Senator 5orah and their atti-
tude towards the American Fedora
ton OF Labor.
"The fake issues of Weisbord and
Communism are done away with he
declared, "for I explained to Senator
Borah that they had only been inject
ed into the situation by mill owners
who wished to evade discussion Of
the real issues. I told him that Weis-
bord will meyer stand in the way of
the interests of the workers. My in
terests are lot separate and apart
from the id'erests of the workers.
| came here because l understood the
need of the workers. their desperate
situation. After six months of strug-
gle in which a strong union has been
built that cannot be broken, Weisbord
is willing to step aside"
Over and over again he emphasized
that altho he might eliminate himself
from negotiations, ''the organization
cannot and must not withdraw" He
told the workers that he had made
this a condition Of settlement in his
talks with Borah, that the mills must
deal with the union.
Touching on the attitude of the
United Front Committee toward aft
liation with the American Federation
of Labor, Weisbord referred to it as
the main stream of American labor
from which we cannot afford to be
separate" He reaffirmed amid APP
plause of the strikers the unqualified
desire of the United Front Committee
TO affiliate with the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Four representatives of the Asso-
ciated Societies and Parishes OF
Passaic and vicinity spoke at the
meeting, urging the strikers to stand
firm with their leadership. The Citi

TN New York newspapers we have
L just read the following headline:
Reds Trying to Convert Negroes to
Communism" And under that head
line was the following story. We give
it complete:
Russian Communists are seeking
to organize Communist groups among
American Negroes, according to Scot
land Yard, which has been invest
igatinu the activities of Commun-
lists here lin London). The Soviet
strategy is alleged to be to induce
Negroes playing in local dance halls
and night clubs to accept large sums
to appear in Moscow, where they
would be converted to Communism
and then sent to the United States
to spread the doctrine"
Whether the positive statement in
that headline is true or not We do not
know-and do not care-but we know
that the story supporting the headline
is too weak to justify the headline.
But this is the usual American news
paper method of lying: to get hold OF.
a little story which, as is evident in
this case, may be only a mixture of
irrelevant details and embellished
guesses, and then to write some big
headline which is not even justified by
those details and guesses. What more
for example, has the hiring Of Negro
4n
and put on shows to do with convert
ing Negroes TO Communism than the
hiring of Negro actors from New York
to come to London and put on shows
has to do with converting American
Negroes TO monarchism?
And, mind you. we are not saying
nor implying that Russian Commu-
nists would be doing anything foolish
or criminal If they were seeking ia
convert Negroes TO Communism by
letting them see what il is and how II
works That would be just about the
most sensible and the fairest way we
could ever think of for converting any

FAIR NOT DEAD

MO, SIR! The fair has not beer
~ killed. Perhaps there will new
er be another agricultural fair in
Kennewick for years to come at
least, but there will be fall cele-
bration of some kind or other. The
displays of fruit were fine-what
there was of them. But the guam
tity was woefully lacking.
It does seem peculiar that when
the townspeople go to the trouble
of arranging a fair for the farm
ers. to advertise to the world the
excellence Of their products, that
the farmers themselves cannot go
to a little extra trouble in select
ing the incest of their crops and
loan them for exhibition purposes.
The Kennewick district came in
for lot of fine comment among
the visitors at the state fair in
Yakima last year with Benton
county's exhibit, which took first
prize. This year the Benton county
exhibit will likely not get in the
prize money, for there is so little
material from which to make the
selection for the exhibit-at least
from the east end of the county.
Apparently there was no lack of
material with which to assemble
a display. The farmers themselves

before deciding to move to
y some new locality through
the influence of some smooth
tongued sales agent, just stop and
count the cost. Then figure out
how much you can develop "the
old farm" here, and how much bet
ter place you can make it for even
less money, than what the move
would cost, and we believe that
you will decide to stay right here
in Gods country. Scientific farm
ing methods applied right here
will accomplish as much or more

the day, "know your OIL" Don't
think that you will not have to

in that new "Eldorado" because
you will. There are drawbacks in
every climate. The sales agents
only tell the good points.

took no interest in the exhibits
The few displays that were made
were fine-would be a credit e
any fair. The whole trouble, Sc
far as we can find out, was over
the awarding of the prizes last
year. It would be folly to accuse
the Judges of bias in the matter OF
making the awards. The entire
cause for complaint came from the
wording of the rules which gov
erned the displays. For our varied
communities, it worked out a
hardship on some Of the exhibit
ors. This mistake was in no way
intentionalLs simply one OF those
errors that creep in to affairs that
are managed by inexperienced,
volunteer management. Surely the
different communities are larger
than to allow a mistake OF that
sort to prejudice their attitude
toward a community enterprise OF
the kind just put on.
Whether or not the fair next
wear features the farm and orchard
products of the district will depend
entirely upon the attitude the
farmers themselves take toward
the management and conduct OF
the fair.
But. there will be a fair. The

SCHOOL PUNCTUALITY

IF THE parents want to do one

Kennewick this fall, let them see
that their children get started for
school i'm plenty of time to get
there before the bell rings.
And if those boys and girls
want to have an Al school that
they can be proud of, and belong
ing to which will give them credit,
let them march right along like
little soldiers to that school, and
not loiter by the way for their va
cation diversions.
A schoolroom where pupils keep
dribbling in after things are sup
posed to have begun, looks like
an army the soldiers of which can
not keep step. There is loose
ness Of appearance about it, and
the impression is given that it is
a kind of go as you please affair
in which the pupils can obey the
rules or not according as they may
happen to feel. The teachers will
do the best they can with it, but
the pupils must cooperate by
promptness of attendance.
