SOCIAL JUSTICE
URGED BY PRIEST
Charities Head Says New
Economic Structure Must
Be Based on Principle.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, May 26.-A new
economic structure must be built that
is based on the solid foundation Of
social justice" Right Rev. Msgr.
Robert F. Keegan, executive director
of Catholic Charities, New York City,
told the concluding session of the
sixty-first annual meeting of the Ma
tional Conference of Social Work
today
Unless this is done, he asserted,
"the structure that will rise on the
ruins of this depression will but crash
again when it is overburdened with
the fruits of selfishness and avaricious
greed.
Wide dissemination of the power
to purchase is essential for sustained
prosperity. Ability to buy requires in
creased wages, higher standards of
living, and fair relationship between
capital and labor.
"The N. r. A. has done much but
it contains within itself the germs of
dissolution unless labor is given an
effective voice in the determination
OF working conditions. The interests
OF the consumer and the employe
must be equally protected with those
OF the employer. We must create real
unions with the right of collective
bargaining, not as concession, not
oludgeoned from employers, but mu-
tualiy agreed upon as part of sound
policy insuring fair practice in in
dustry and promising prosperity
for all
1T is obvious that social workers by
themselves canont bring about these
important objectives in the economic
| order. -
BY itself the profession of social
work can do little. But in union with
the great forces Of labor, industry, edu-
cation, religion and government, it
can accomplish much.
ANY scheme which entirely BAN
isheS government from the economic
order is fundamentally erroneous. This
is no doctrine born of the depression.
In our own day the Pope of social JUS
tice, Plus XI, tells us that the pubic
institutions of the nations must be
such as to make the whole of human
society conform to the common good;
that is. to the standard of social JUS
tice.' To attempt to disparage such a
principle by calling it socialism is to
distort the truth.
Say what you will, the social con-
sciousness of America is attuned to
social reform. The rank and file are
seeking one thing desperately, security
They have a right to security of
life, right to work, to build their
own homes, to rear their children in
the midst Of a reasonable measure of
future security. Their savings, whether
placed in ba.as or in investments,
should be safeguarded from trickery
and Misrepresentation. No one plan,
no pointed program. no panacea
will give them the security they need.
But a united nation dedicated to So
cial justice and directing all its forces
toward the common good, can move
forward toward more equitable dis
tributicn of ownership. and happier
life for the plain people of the land"

CHURCH STUDIES
MERGERPROPOSAL
Presbyterians Seek to Halt
Overthrow of "Doc.

CLEVELAND, May 26.-Fundamen-
talists of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States tonight girded
themselves for q renewed conflict in
the general assembly to halt what
they believe is q gradual abandon
ment of some Of the church's primary
doctrines.
Defeated in one test yesterday and
another the previous day, the funda-
mentalists will open the next assault
Tuesday, by opposing the terms of q
pending merger with the United Pres
byterian Church of North America.
Although unopposed to union Of
the churches, the fundamentalists,
led by Rev. H. McAllister Griflths
Of Philadelphia, will attempt to pre-
vent adoption of proposal to submit
the present plan to the Presbyteries.
and to carry the fight to the Presby-
teries, II necessary.
Issue Is Raised.
"This plan of union raises the issue
between modernism and orthodoxy in
a peculiarly acute form" asserts Rev.
j. Gresham Machen of Philadelphia,
another of the fundamentals lead
ers. People who are devoted to the
truth of the Bible should certainly
oppose the plan of union. It under
mines the authority of the Bible. 1t
undermines the great system of re-
vealed truth contained in our con-
fession of faith and it is opposed to
Presbyterian liberty"
Majority leaders of the assembly
deny these charges, however, and ex-
press the opinion the merger plan
will be approved. 1t would unite ap-
proximately 100000 communicates
of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States, with some 100000 Of
the other denomination.

Independent Beard.
Machen already has led one group
OF fundamentalists into the for5na-
ton Of the Independent Board for
Foreign Presbyterian Missions, and
has urged fundamentalists to "take
preliminary steps looking to the con-
tinusnce of . real Presbyterian
Church In case this destructive plan
Of union is adopted by the Presby-

Only yesterday, however. the as
sembly ordered all members Of the
church who are members of the in
dependent board to resign from the
latter organization within 90 days,
or to face ecclesiastical discipline.
Today's session was comparatively

CURE THE ILLS

"DERHAPS the most vital phase of modern
police organization is the method of Sc
lecting recruits. The better known forces in
this country and Canada pay careful attention
to this detail, for it is undoubtedly the most
important. If a police force starts off on the
wrong foot it will take long time to correct
that evil"
That paragraph is printed on Page of
The Times today in the second of a series of
stories on police systems which have been
written by Albert j. Beveridge Jr., a newspaper
man and Republican candidate for the state
legislature.
Mr.. Beveridge has made comprehensive
study Of police conditions in Indiana, the east
ern part of the country and in Canada. In
the series Mr.. Beverage will deal with the
needs of worthwhile state police system.
The indianapolis Times advocates the merit
system and civil service in selection OF candi-
dates for police posts and agrees with Mr..
Beveridge that without this requisite any
police force may be of on the wrong foot.
Mr.. Beveridge may be in the legislature.
1t would be fitting that he lead the campaign
to cure the ills of law enforcement.

After reading Alan w. Boyd's re-

candidate, in which he urges voters
TO guard schools and keep politics
out" it is thought that perhaps Mr..

tighten the Indianapolis voter on
the following:
From what source is money de-
rived to take care of the citizens

Office rent and help, the salary Of
the managing director, John L.

This struggle conferred in the old Austro-

The finest thing Wilson ever did was to tell
the whole world that freedom and self-deter-

a repetition Of the holocaust was to be avoided.
But the postwar readjustments failed to
reach this goal. Democracy was discarded

The result? Violence and bloodshed. In

DECLARES ROBINSON
LABOR'S FAVORITE

BY Charles McFan.
AS a Democratic railroad worker
and brotherhood member, I feel
have the right to correct the state
ment Of Robert Mythen, regarding
what he calls the purported in
dorSement Of Senator Robinson, by
the twenty-one brotherhoods and
labor generally.
= Being a Democrat doesn't imply
that am a new dealer and a fol-
lower Of Paul V. McNutt's crowd and
will desert a man who always has
been a friend to labor and vote for
an unknown man. I say unknown,
and he is, so far as his relations
with labor are concerned.
Only this week a paper published
by labor in Washington in bold
head lines, reiterated its indorse-
ment Of Senator Robinson and so
far as the twenty-one brotherhoods
are concerned, the Endorsement was
and is for the reelection of the
senator. This months issue Of which
I have before me, THE Railway
Conductor" volume 81, No. 10, &C.
tober, 1884, carries on page BOT a
half page of Endorsements for re-
election of senators, by the stand
ard railroad labor organizations and
fourth from the top Of the list is
the name Of Senator Arthur r.
Robinson.
Now, Mr.. Mythen, deny that.
Furthermore, such organizations do
not indorse men who have no rec
ord favorable to their policies. SO
it is utterly absurd to think they
could or would indorse Sherman
Minton merely because he was an
attorney for a public service COM
mission.
So, Mr.. Mythen, don't call it
'purported Endorsement" 1t is gen.
uine so far as the majority Of the
brotherhood members and the
laboring folk are concerned.
OF course, We know there are
certain members Of those organiza-
tons who Will not live up to the
Endorsement, but they are so far in
the minority that their votes will
not elect Mr.. Minton or defeat Sem
ator Robinson.
Mr.. Mythen admits that the sem
ator made a good record for labor,
but accuses him Of doing right
about face" act.
If the senator's refusal to vote to
bankrupt the country by continuing
such spending as is going on now,
is TO be termed as such, so much
the better for him.
The Democrats begged for the CO.
