lawyer SPEAKS
TO CATHOLICS
Pierce Butler NOw on
Supreme Court Bench

Justice Pierce Butler, corporation
lawyer, whose nomination for the
supreme court was fought bitterly by
many elements In the United States
senate and has been a supporter Of
antl-labor opinions in all his decisions,
addressed the second session Of the
Eucharistic congress at Soldiers Field
yesterday.
His keynote was, Universal peace
that sacred cause the supreme pom
tim is eagerly seeking to advance"
Six thousand nuns came out OF their
convent retreats to attend the women's
day ceremonies of the 2Sth Eueha.
rfst now on at Soldiers Field. For
weeks and months they had been re-
hearsing their parts and today will
constitute high spot in the secluded
lives Of most of them. They sang the
response to the pontifcal high mass.
Thousands of women trooped to the
stadium to participate in the alteration
of the holy eucharist which they firm
ly believe is the body and blood of
Christ. Cardinal Daugherty oficiated.
Attain object.
Mondays gigantic gathering during
which $4,000 children sang a seventh
century mass was by far the most i'm
pressive and huge gathering of cathol-
los this country has ever seen. 1t at
tests to the success OF the object Of
the Euchar1stic Congress: A resplend-
ent and massive display of the
strength Of the catholic church for the
purpose OF winning back those who
have strayed from the fold; for the
winning of new adherents to the
faith; for the influence it will have
upon countries like Mexico that are
challenging the educational, moral and
political hegemony of the hierarchy.
Politicians Speak.
Last night a dinner was given at
the Blackstone Hotel by the Knights
Of st. Gregory for the visiting church
dignitaries. Gov. AL Smith Of New
York, former Senator David l. Walsh
of Massachusetts, Judge Morgan
O'Brien of New York and Mayor
Dever Of Chicago were among the
politicians who addressed the diners.
Secretary of Labor Davis, who said he
had to catch a train, left an address
that was read.
Rear Admiral Talks.
Among others who addressed the
English speaking section meeting at
the Coliseum this afternoon was Rear
Admiral w. S. Benson of the U. S.
navy. At the German speaking meet
ing the bishop of Innsbruck who form
erly had Tyrol in his diocese protested
against the attempt of Mussolini to
Italianize the German population of
Tyrol
American Liberty"
A mark Of most Of the speeches by
the visiting prelates and clergy is the
constantly repeated eulogy of Amer
lean Liberty Talking about free
dom loving" America seems to go over
very well and is in constant use of the
dozens Of sectional meetings of the
congress.
Last night was special mems night
in which the main address was de-
livered by Cardinal Reigy Casanova
of Spain. From now on the women
will take a back seat. Women are not
allowed to participate in the Euchar-
istic professions.

"7NEN Years in He'll"
Lit is an apt title that should
make workers stop and think. 1t
heads an article by Robert Minor,
in the July issue Of the Labor De-
fender, reviewing the decade-long
Imprisonment Of Tom Mooney and
Warren X. Billings in the San Quen-
tin Prison, in California.
"Ten Years in He'll"
For the hideous stories that
pierce the grim walls of the Pacific
Coast bastile indicate that the ag-
ony Of its inmates surpasses the
storied sufferings of the Internal
regions. Existence in the jute mill
for instance, where the summer
heat again seeks out its victims
among the toiling convicts, cuts
short the span of human life, most
often with dread tuberculosis.
"Ten Years in He'll"
Yet It must already have seemed
an eternity to Mooney and Billings,
knowing that if slumbering labor on
"the outside" but raised its voice
in sufficient protest the prison gates
for them would swing outwards.
On July 27, only a few days
away, it will be ten years since July
27, 1916, when these intrepid lead
ers of the workers were seized by
the ruling class in San Francisco,
first condemned to death, but final
ly given their lives but confined to
a living death in the San Quentin
hole.
In prison cells, where It is per.
mitted, the convicts have calendars
on the walls, where they mark off
the days that bring them nearer the
hour of their release. 1t is impos-
sible for Mooney and Billings to
thus check off the time that sepa-
rates them from freedom. Only
death can bring them release-or
an aroused working class. Death
sets no time for its coming. Labor
has not yet set the hour when 1t
will force the liberation of Mooney
and Billings.
A whole epoch has swept past
since these two workers went to
prison. They were taken when
Wall Street was preparing to rush
this country into the European
war. News had to penetrate their
prison walls for them to know
about the Bolshevik Revolution in
Russia, and of the demonstration
of Russian workers in their behalf
before the American embassy in
Moscow.

ious outbursts of Joy in which the

Ford's profits are not published, but
based on comparison of the company's

Ine speeding up RESULTING lrOh
this competition means fewer jobs.
This is shown in a Wall Street Jour
nal article on recent production eco
nomics Of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car
company. 1t says:
"In the motor assembly line, $50
men used to assemble about 70 motors
day; now only 106 men are re-
quired to assemble ITS to 200 motors
day. Paige formerly had IS grind
ers, attended by Is men, for grinding
bores; now a single honing machine,
operated by man, does the same
work and more efficiently. The com
pany used to have four machines
working night and day sizing the
width of the boss on connecting rods;
now a single coin press does this
work, and is not busy all day. This
relieves 7 men and 3 machines.
"By moving the brake department
and making few changes, the force
required in assembling four-wheel
brakes and putting them on axles was
reduced from six to two. Eight men
were employed in connecting and oil
Ing axle parts; the number has been
reduced to three; now an air hoist OPP
Grated by one man does the work
much more quickly"
Workers to Suffer.
These are samples of changes going
on in all the automobile plants of the
country. They mean not only loss Of
Jobs to hundreds OF workers but
greater intensity Of work to those who
remain. They mean that the workers
are being driven to greater fatigue by
the task masters OF the profit system.

Second Election Found
To Be Necessary by
Board

Voting Is heavier in the second
school bond election on the 100000
issue for new buildings and equip
ment than in the first one, check
made at o'clock Tuesday showed.
There had been 63 votes cast for the
issue and none against. At this hour
in the first election held on May |
there had been only 40 votes cast.
The school board has urged the
voters 10 come out an support the
issue in spite of the fact that only
ono vote was cast against IL in the
first election and that lone vote by
mistake.
A second election was made neces-
sary by a mix-up over the time limit
for holding the first one, the polling
on May being a Few days outside
of the limit set by the revised Tex
as statutes.
The issue provides for a heating
plant for the two high schools. a new
ward school in Victoria, a wing for
the West Brownsville school and
various equipment.
Contractors who were given con-
tracts after the first election before
it was discovered that it was not
valid, have gone ahead with the
work on their own responsibility con-
fidcnt that a secc,d election would
have the same result as the first.
This will enable them to complete

placed in Jail al Sinton, held on
bonds totaling $6s.000. Examining
trial of Ed Dubose has been delayed.

deputies picked up the thread Of
the mystery where it begins at the
home Of DIR. Ramsey in Mathis the
night Of May 20.
On that night DR.. Ramsey was
called from his home by a Mexican
who purportcd to take him TO the
bedside Of sick relative. DR.. RAM
sey has not returned.
