DOUBTFUL SAVIORS
by MRS. WALTER FERGUSON.

1t is to be hoped that Government officials will
not take too seriously that magnificent gesture
the brave and dauntless knights of the Ku<lux

hands. The imperial wizard tells that in case our
southern neighbor invaded by a foreign foe the

THE LEGION GOES TO PARIS

At Philadelphia yesterday the American Legion
voted to hold its 1927 convention in Paris
Some Of the legonnares obviously had not for
gotten the anti-American demonstrations in France
last summer and were inclined to question the
wisdom Of making the pilgrimage at this time.
But they were showed under. The boys wanted
to go and France wants them to come, as evidenced
by her sending two official wecomers all the way
to the sesqui city to say so.
So therel be two American Legion conventions
next year instead of the usual The first, in
Paris, the advocate general says will be unconstitu
tional; therefore, second will be held in New York
to validate the decisions taken overseas.
No sooner had this interesting and momentous
decision been announced than the Lincolnesque figure
Of John R. McQugg, national commander, took the
floor to utter timely warning:
by your affirmative vote" he said soemnly
weighing every word you have committed the legion
to of the most spectacular one of the most bene
fetal events in history. 1t behooves us to make
it a success.
your vote is not the end of your endeavor 1t

the undertaking and the absolute necessity Of the
best kind of cooperation the part of every men,

connected with it.

favored the idea of having labor
leaders address their congregations,
but that in every case it had been
voted down by the vestrymen.
The Times quotes the Rev DR..
Niebuhr, chairman Of the industrial
commission of the Detroit Council
Of Church, as saying:
Il regard it as discouraging and
notwithstanding evidence of the

nomic interests of commercial classes
and the life of the church.
SO much for the facts, as reported
by one Of the most conservative
newspapers in the country AS part
of the background of this contro-
versy, which may become Nation
wide, it may be said that Detroit
is known as an open shop town, and
that employers of labor there have
promoted the so-called American

cult for organized labor to make
much Roadway
1t is interesting to note that the
churches which closed their doors

A Different Picture

"Scarface" Capone has either
been painted much blacker than he
ever was, or he has undergone a
surprising change Of heart.
For years the public not only in
Chicago, but throughout the coun-
try, has been taught to regard him
as a heartless gang leader. who
would order men bumped off,
much as you or l would order a
chicken killed.
OF all the murders in connection
with the gang warfare for control of
Chicago's booze traffic, scarcely one
has occurred without Capone's name
receiving dishonorable mention.
To let the police tell 1t. he has
amounted to nothing less than the
evil genius of an evil underworld
devil incarnate. who cut down his
victims in open daylight and on
crowded streets. who caused ma
chine guns to crackle within ear
shot of the most important police
station. and who got away with it
all, because of his ability to corrupt
officers and command gang loyalty.

ing on slums, the city's welfare and
conditions that make such careers
as that of "Scarface" Capone in
Chicago possible
He wants to raise half a billion
dollars to clean up the east side, TO

insanitary tenement district with
wholesome, airy homes. where mid
die class people can live and enjoy
themselves at reasonable cost.
First, he wants 500 wealthy citi-

WHO CONTROLS THE CHURCH,
BY y. ID. Cochran

There is food FOR thought and pro-
vocation 20 argument in the attitude
of the Detroit council Of churches,
toward the leaders of organized
labor. II Involves the possible future
attitude of a large part of the
population toward the churches.
Here are the facts as reported in
the New York Times:
Anticipating the presence Of Presi-
dent William Green and other Of
ficers- at the annual convention Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
some CT the Detroit churches in
vited various officers to occupy their
pulpits on the Sunday these officers
would be in Detroit.
The Y. NJ. c. A. had invited Presi-
dent Green to address that body.
That invitation was cancelled. So
were the invitations to other labor
officials TO occupy certain pulpits.
For years it has been a practice
to issue such church invitations in
cities where the A. f. of L. con-
ventions were held.
On learning of the cancellation Of
these invitations President Green
issued a statement charging that the
barring Of labor representatives was
due to the influence Of the Detroit
board of commerce and the Build
ing Trades Association, whose men,
bership is made up largely of en-
rloyers of labor.
The Times correspondent reports
that, 1.-THE churches and the Young
Mems Christian Association decided
to bar union representatives, be-
cause Of the controversy between
union leaders in this city and man
ufacturers advocating the open
shop and company unions"
Also that President c. B. Van
Dusen, of the Y. NJ. c. A., explained
that "the directors felt it would be
indiscreet 70 have Mr.. Green appear
on Sunday in view of the 5000, 900
building campaign program OF the
association and the fear that the
presence Of the labor official would
indicate TO many that the Young
Mems Christian Association sup
ported the side presented by Mr..
Green"
Among the trustees of the Y. NJ.
c. A. are former United States Sen
ator Truman II. Newberry and
Charles Beecher Warren, former am
bassador to Mexico and Japan. New
berry will be remembered as the
Senator who saved his seat in the
Senate by one vote when charged
with spending more money than the
Michigan law allowed in buying his
seat. He then resigned.
Warren's connection with the
sugar trust caused his rejection by
the Senate as attorney general in
President Coolidge's Cabinet.
James Myers, Industrial and field
secretary Of the Church and Social
service commission Of the Federal
Council of Churches, said that the
speakers intended to interpret the
labor movement in the light of re-
ligious ideals, that it was not a mat
ter Of propaganda or partisanship,
and that it was well within the plan
to have the business men speak at
the same time or on the following
Sunday.
The Times report says that last
year sixteen pulpits were occupied
by labor speakers at the Atlantic
City convention on Labor Sunday.
Two wears ago the commission on
social service of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches undertook to cooper
ate with the Federation Of Labor in
filling the pulpits.
Also, that ministers who were
questioned said privately that they

Herbert Hoover and certain private power interests.

1t Is $l25OOO,OOO. The $125OOO,OO0 will be left in

LABOR FROM PORTO RICO

Labor conditions in Porto Rico appear to be verv
bad and that their badness is beginning to sop over
into the continental United States is indicated by evil
dence in possession of the Labor Department and
the American and Pan-American Federations of
Labor.
Porto Rican labor is super-abundant and conse-
quenty cheap. 1t is also exempt from American i'm.
migration restrictions
Porto Rico is thickly populated island and its
population consists of very few rich and a great
many poor. The Porto Rican laborer comes rather
nearer to serfdom than the Mexican.
The island has permanent army Of about 30O-
600 unemployed. Even those who can find work gen
orally find it not more than half the year Wages
average around so cents day. Living conditions of
course, miserable.
Under such circumstances, what is starvation
pay in the United States naturally sounds munif
cent to Porto Rican.
That, declares Secretary Santiago Iglesias of the
Pan-American Federation of Labor, is just how
American employment agents fooling the Porto
Ricans. Igesas is authority for the statement that
they are arriving in rapidly increasing numbers He
blames the large cotton growers especially.
Arriving here, the workers find themselves il
anything, he says, worse off than on their native
island Unless speedy steps are taken to check the
movement, labor officials that an even worse
situation will ensue than resulted from the Mexican
invasion.

the Anti-Saloon< League. AS that
organization has had the backing
of big business ever since It's ef-
forts for prohibition changed from
a moral crusade to an economic cam
paign, there probably has been no
objection from employers organiza-
ton to the policy Of turning over Of,
pulpits to the League.
1t appears in the present contro-
versy that the Federal Council of
Churches and the pastors Of the
Detroit churches were in favor of
opening the church doors to labor
speakers. The objection came from
influential lay members Of the
churches who were trustees, vestry-
men, etc. That is, the desire of the
ministers to keep up the Christian
relation with labor leaders was over
ruled by prominent citizens who OPP
pose the right Of labor to organize
and bargain collectively.
The danger to the churches in
this policy is that it will encourage
the belief that the biggest contribu-
tors to the upkeep Of these churches
and the Y. M. C. A. are the real
directors Of church policy, and that
the ministers must obey orders. If
the idea becomes general that
churches are for the rich and power
full rather than for all classes Of
human society, then the influence of
such churches in the daily, life Of
the people will wane.
However. this controversy will be
worth while. It's educational value
will be great. 1t will, in a degree
put Christianity as it exists in many
of the churches today to the test
Maybe we will find out what Chris
tianity is. Labor isn't on trial. 1t is
the church. Who controls the
church?
