CHICAGO, September 20.-Church
membership in America has multi
piled four times as fast as the popu-
lation since 1900, said a report SUBJ
mitted today to the National Commit
tee for Religious and Welfare Recov-
cry.
In 1900. the report presented by DR..
Herman c. Weber, editor of the year
book of American churches. showed,
only / OFT Of every 1850 persons
belonged to q Protestant church. and
! out of SO to Catholic church.
Today his figures showed l out OF
every 4 belonged to Protestant
church and ! out of 622 to the Cath
olic religion.
DR.. Weber asserted over 10000, 600
Americans attended services weekly
in Protestant and Catholic churches
and Jewish Synagogues. He said
churches were gaining $4,000 members
weekly and that in the past IS years
the number of church edifices has
increased seven times.
He stated debts on church property
amounted to only IL per cent Of their
value
H Paul Douglass, Montclair, N. j.,
former director of the Institute OF
Social and Religious Research, cited
these six steps of religious progress in
the past century:
"Sectarian division is checked
within Professionalism there is con-
stantly increasing unity; a strong
movement for cooperation among
major faiths: a slight gain in the
number of male church members; a
more graded and adapted type of
services and activities, and a strong
youth movement"

RAILWAYS WARNED
TO REvAMP SET-UP
Harry A. Wheeler Advises
Quick Reorganization to
Avert u. S. Rule.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 20.-Harry
A. Wheeler, president of the Railway
Business Association, said last night
that prompt reorganizations are vital
II American railroads are to avert
Government Intervention more dras-
tic than is desirable"
He asked a showing of the national
administrators plans to end un-
certainty which, he said, is making
capital shy of investment in the rail-
road industry.
About one-siXth of the total oper-
ated rail mileage of the country is in
receivership," said Wheeler, a former
president of the United States Cham
er of Commerce and former Chicago
banker. Some other roads also face
financial difficulties. The Government
lately has added new burdens in the
shape of the railway pension act
This, with the restoration of the pre-
depression wage scale, has created a
condition which few roads can meet
Urges Square Deal"
That is not to say that the rail-
roads cannot become prosperous again
under private ownership, To do this
however. they must have a square
deal and they should not be subject
to further oppressive legislation.
I'm the matter of receiverships II
is to be admitted frankly that reor-
ganizations are vital. Further tardy
action by the private owners in effect
ing necessary reorganizations may
cause the Government to take more
drastic action than is desirable, more
drastic even than some of our theor-
lists now plan. The President has
manifested some impatience over the
slow procedure in reorganization ano
he has disclosed his thoughts that
other railroads not in recelvershlps
must reorganize financially to place
their existing capital structure in line
to be supported by future earnings
Wheeler said investors would not
put money into railroads without
knowing the future plans of financing
and regulation. .....'.. ..
Asks Declarati ton of Policy.
Either the administration hopes to
Introduce a policy Of Government
ownership or it doesn't" he said
"Its declaration either way would
simplify the whole situation.
Much harm can come from continued
secrecy concerning New Deal plans fol
the railroads"
Wheeler said dispatches from Wash
ipgton recently had indicated the
amendments to the bankruptcy laws
permitting voluntary reorganizations
had patiently failed, and that further
contemplated amendments might in
clude compulsion.
1T behooves the railroads, bond
holders and shareholders, therefore, tc
do their part and act Immediately" he
concluded. Otherwise they must be
prepared to receive drastic proposals

FORD WORKS ON
CAPACITY BASIS
April Output May Reach
100000; Heavy Demand
Speeds Operations.

Spurred by insistent demands for
new cars and trucks from branches
and dealers, capacity production Of
Ford cars and trucks has been
scheduled for April, it was stated by
r. A. Hayes, Indianapolis branch
manager of the Ford Motor Com
pany.
The months production is ex-
pected to materially exceed 10000
and may reach 100000 units, the
total being dependent entirely upon
the ability of suppliers, including
body manufacturers, to provide nee
essary materials and supplies, it was
disclosed.
The demand for new cars and
trucks, it was stated, has become
especially heavy in all parts of the
country during the last few days
since the announcement that Ford
would not increase factory list
prices, in common with the general
prevailing trend in the industry.
Retail deliveries during the last
ten days of March reached the
highest total since May, 1881, and
the total for March was greater
than in every month of 1888, and
for all months of 1882 except June,
it was stated.
The total of retail deliveries dur
ing the last ten days of the month
was almost equal to the total for
the first twenty days of the month.
indicating an increased volume of
retail sales as the month progressed.
Despite increased manufacturing
schedules dealers stocks at the close
of March were reported below
normal and below the total sched-
uIed. The difficulty of supplying
necessary cars to meet dealer de-
mands is growing greater, it was
stated, necessitating the increase in
