sepulchre-if I did not speak out" ," Father Coughlin declared. With all my strength I will en- deavor to inject the living Christ, the living doctrines of Christ, into those whose business it is to make laws and to govern"
 Refers to Rival Meeting
 Father Coughlin referred to "an- other meeting in this town to- night"
 There were 1000 people there, he said. with broad smile, "and 500 of them were my friends"
 The priest read brief extract from the speech presented by Mathew Woll, vice president of the A. F. of l.. at the "other meeting.
 At the mention of WolPs name there were boos, and when the A. F. of l.. was mentioned there were more boos.
 Father Coughlin pointing to the musicians in the pit, said that they were playing gratis and he then made an attack on some of the officers of the A. F. of L."
 He quickly shifted his attacks to the "barons of Wall Street. and said that the Union Jack should DO hSAi5 ONCi tiIt Ol Morgan, Woll, Dean Acheson, former Under Secretary of the Treasury, and others.
 Father Coughlin spoke in the ater packed to the caves. Almost 1000 persons pushed. jammed and jostled their way into the Hippo drome, and 5000 others massed in West Forty-fourth street heard the addresses over loud-speakers.
 Almost 15,000 had milled about the streets ada jacent to the Hippo drome before the meeting started but the crowd thinned out, the hu- man tide trickled away through the police lines, and when the speakers started only one-third of that number stood in the cold night.
 Crowds Held Back
 The stage was so crowded that newspaper men had to stand on stools to see the speakers.
 Many of those who were locked out in the streets when the doors closed had admittance cards Mounted policemen assisted patrol men in keeping back the crowds. A man lowered a ladder of a fire-escape and some of the more adventurous in the crowds scam perod up it.
 Inside the theater the crowd stood and cheered when Father Coughlin walked on the stage at S:15. With him on the stage were former Governor William Sulzcr, Senator Thomas, former Senator Owen, former Mayor Hylan and John A. Harriss, president of the Broadway Association.
 There were occasional calls from the balcony of "How about Mir smith? % or Boo Morgan" Form CT Governor Alfred E. Smith came in for generos round of booing when his name was mentioned by one of the balcony enthusiasts.
 When Father Coughlin took his seat on tho stage the crowd stood and cheered, clapped and shouted for some minutes. When quiet had been restored some ono in the bal cony called for three cheers for Father Coughlin and the demolr- stration started all over again.
 Surprise Turned to Applause
 Stop Roosevelt"
 The audience hesitated, the priest added quickly;
 Stop Roosevelt from being stopped"
 The applause swelled over the auditorium for many minutes.
 "Wc are told" Father Coughlin said. that as priests we should keep our hands to the task of say ing souls and refrain from the financial fight. But that is not the idea of Christ. For the lives of us all rest in the solution of these financial problems.
 Its not my province to enter into politics but it is my province to talk politics, and with all my strength I shall endeavor to inject the living doctrines of Christ into those who make laws and who govern the people,"
 Referring to Q "sound money mass meeting at Carnegie hall. Fa- ther Coughlin said Mathew Woll q vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, told that au- dience the presidents program might prove a stumbling block to the administration program"
 It'll be a stumbling block. all right" said the Detroit priest. "but it'll be stumbling black to some
