TALK THURSDAY
SPLENDID TALKS ARE HEARD
BY MEMBERS OF MEMS CLUB

TERRAIN CHURCH,
ATTENDANCE is LARGE
J. c. ACHESON, PRESIDENT OF
MACALESTER COLLEGE. TELLS
OF GREAT NEED OF RE-
LIGIOUS TRAINING.

An extremely interesting and edu.
cational talk was delivered by Presi
dent J. c. Acheson of Manchester
College Thursday evening at the
Mems Club banquet at the Presby-
terian Church. DIR. Acheson usec
as his general theme, Christian Edu.
cation and the Church ard his devel-
opment of this theme proved most
interesting. Reverend Archibald
Wright of the General Assembly's
Educational Committee delivered a
short address on the Relationship OF
Men of the Church. John Colville
president of the Mems Club, presid-
ed as POSTMASTER.
In starting his talk, DR.. Acheson
called specific attention to the fact
that the problems of the Church and
the Christian College Of today are
something well worth considering;
that there are two outstanding func-
tions. evangelism and education. In
referring to evangelism, the speaker
said, Evangelism is the recruiting
arm of the Church, not only to count
as members but to save souls. It is
the one great program Of the King
dom of our King and the interest of
this Kingdom can easily be better
furthered by a trained constituency
1T has historically been the glory
of the Presbyterian Church. said
DIR. Acheson, ito foster education
throughout the centuries, for was it
not our Savior who said to his little
band, Go We into all the world and
preach the gospel that they may in
deed be educated in the glory of
God The speaker stressed heav-
lily the fact that the formal type of
training in the home should consist of
interest shown and support given to
the upbuilding of the Christian col
lege. This day and age is a prob
lem, one of the greatest the world
has ever KNOWN" said DR.. Acheson,
and may prove to be another Frank
enstein which may turn and rend its
master. AS we face this gigantic
machine what more do we need? Our
one great need is more men and wo-
men who are trained in social control
to eliminate this monstrous machine
We shall not be safe unless the spirit
Of Christ dominates the soul and this
conception of our need is not confined
to membership alone OF either the
Protestant or Catholic creeds but to
all who call themselves Christians. !"
Mr.. Acheson states that he is con-
WINGED that the outstanding need in
education is the religious element;
that the growth of crime which seems
to have almost reached its culmina-
tion has made this so. DR.. Acheson
has no patience with petty criticism
that has been heaped upon the
schools and universities by those who
have not known. There is no use
of condemning the schools as God
less said the speaker, although
the Bible is not in the schools. What
are we to do? Are we to leave the

Then we come to tuberculosis, one
of the scourges Of miners, both metal
and coal. Declaring that "tuberculo-
sis in many instances is undoubtedly
contracted in the employment of the
mining companies" the bureau adds;
"Inasmuch as this district is mining
both coal and ore, many of the min
ers have worked in both coal and
ore. 1t is very common to find or
hear of tuberculosis among these
men.
"The miners, when incapacitated for
further work, if they have not means
to provide for their treatment in a
private sanitarium are forced into
charitable institutions. The care and
treatment Of these cases has been neg
lected."
The mine operators of Alabama are
outstanding opponents of organized
labor
The condition revealed by the sur
vey Of the bureau Of mines shows to
what extent inhuman treatment of the
workers prevails when the mine oper.
ator dictators have an absolutely free
hand without the civilizing influence
of virile trade union.

MINE TOWNS
OF Alabama Condemned By
u. S. Bureau of Mines

Washington Emphatic condemna-
tion of the insanitary conditions inn
posed upon the Alabama coal miners
by the mine operators in their COM
pany towns is contained in the "Sani-
tary Survey of the Coal Mines of
Alabama" made for the United States
bureau of mines by F. v. Meriwether,
of the bureaus staff.
Company town streets, sewage sys-
TENS, sanitary administration, hous-
ing, garbage and refuse disposal, san
itary equipment of mines, control of
communicable diseases and especially
tuberculosis, all receive the bureaus
strong criticism as dangerous to the
health and lives of the mine workers
and remediable by the operators.
"The streets and sidewalks in the
camps have not received much atten-
tion," declares the bureau. "Only five
camps had sidewalks. The figures
show that A per cent of the towns
have no paved and improved streets
and that 80 per cent had no side
walks"
"None of the towns have sewage
systems" says the report, and adds
that the mine owners objections to
installing sewage systems are invalid
AS to general sanitary administra-
tion the survey finds that the majority
of the company towns do not have
health departments, but employ the
company physician and superintendent
to supervise the sanitary and health
work.
The companies without health de-
partments usually 'pay their physi
clans by the man on the contract ba.
sis, and allow them to do outside
practice. This results in many of the
physicians devoting their entire time
to the practice of medicine and giving
little if any thought to sanitation"
And the the houses the coal com
panies provide for the workers
Here they are:
"The houses are in constant neet
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-03

Of repair. The roofs of many are
leaky, floors are in bad condition and
walls are often repaired or papered
with newspapers by the workmen.
Such conditions are disagreeable, un-
slightly and unhealthful.
Accidents happen. What then?
Let the bureau of mines tell it:
s'In one town visited it was noted
that during rainy weather that the
old building used as temporary hos
pital leaked badly in five of the seven
rooms. If an accident requiring hos
pitalization of patients occurs during
rainy weather, the cases could not be
handled in such building"
The garbage disposal system, the
survey declares, is far from satisfac-
tory. "The handling of garbage and
refuse in the towns as whole is poor
and needs, in most instances, radical
changes"
"Only seven of the mines examined
have lighthouses. The average town
has no bathhouse, but many have a
room and shower for the mine off
cials.
The lack of bathhouses," the re-
port states, "shows lack of care fol
the comfort of the men. More thar
that. 1t endangers their health.
"Where lighthouses are not provid-
ed, the men coming from warm mine
in sweaty, dirty clothes must go some
distance, often several milse, in wet
clothes. In the winter time this is
not only disagreeable, but is liable tt
cause serious sickness"
