 Greenville, s. C., Sept 10-(UPl We have no kick. Our employers are treating us all right. we're happy and we want to keep going. Fifty per cent of the people that are out have been scared out.
 That's true. I think in my mill and in most of the others around here.
 The boys don't really want to leave but they are afraid of these flying squadrons. No man should interfere with another's right to work. If they want to quit that's their business. They've no cause to try to keep the others away.
 More Sacred Obligation
 The men have taken a more sa- cred obligation than that to any union or any special cause. That, is the one they took when they married. They took a sacred ob- ligation to support woman and her children. We cant afford to go on strike. Some of these poor. deluded fellows think the govern ment is going to feed them. They can't have an ounce of pride thinking that way.
 The women folks are going to keep their strike from winning in the south. The men aren't going to allow their women to suffer. In my opinion. the crisis is over. The backbone of the strike is broken.
 Me and my family have no kick against our employers.

CHURCH COUNCILS

The first ecumenical general or uni
versal) council of the Christian church was
called by the Emperor Constantine at Nice,
in Asia Minor, in the year 1876, for the pur-
pose of defining the Christian faith and
dealing with the alleged heresy of Arius of
Alexandria and his followers.
Arius commended that there is diff
ference between the Father and Son. max
ing the latter secondary. The orthodox
view was. and stift is, that the two are IN
all respects equal.
Little is known of the proceedings of
the Council except that they were marked
by bitter controversies among the bishops
present, finally resulting in the adoption of
the Nicene Greed, sustaining the orthodox
opinion by decisive vote.
Other ecumenical councils were held
from time to time. usually for the purpose
of dealing with heresy and schism, or for
further deciding matters of faith and dis
cipline. Twenty such councils are recog-
nized by the Catholic church. while Pro-
testant churches recognize the authority
of only the first four, the Church of Eng
land the first five and the Greek church
the first seven. Decisions of ecumenical
councils were supposed to have been guided
by the Holy Ghost and hence infallible.
The last general council of the Catho-
lie church in 1870 decreed the infallibility
of the Pope in matters of faith and morals,
when speaking ex cathedra. which decree
seems to render any further councils for
such'purposes unnecessary for that church.

KEY WEST MoURNs

Twice within the short period of six
weeks death has taken from Key West two
lovable characters. Both members of the
Jesuit order. Rev. William Power and
Rev. F. X Dougherty. The former passed
away on March %. The latter last Friday
night.
Rev. Power had lived life of the
greatest usefulness in his capacity as
Christian and as teacher. He had passed
the meridian of glorious career and at the
age of 81, l / years beyond the allotted
three score years and ten, went out to that
spiritual reward which is the promised
goal of all who live according to His
teachings.
Rev. Dougherty was just few months
past the age of as. His career as teacher
had been brilliant one, and as such he
had received recognition from his superiors
that are given few men at his age.
As priest and man, he was loved by all
who knew him. His entire life had been
devoted to teaching boys and young men,
and that he had fulfilled his sphere of
activity to the fullest, is evidenced by the
brilliant scholars who have gone out into
the world from Catholic institutions i'm the
states, fitted to take up the battles of life
through the teachings of this eminent pre-
ceptor.
In Key West he was loved by all who
were fortunate enough to know him. Not
only by the boys of the church and the
congregation of st. Mary's, but by every
one, Catholic and Protestant, with whom he
had come in contact
And no more substantial evidence of
love and esteem could be given any man
than was given yesterday by the throng of
friends and admirers that formed the cor
tege going from the church to the railroad
station.
The procession was led by a military
guard of sailors, under the command of
Boatswain l.. P. Toolin, from the Coast
Guard Cutter Saukee, followed by the car
of Rev. A. L. Maureau, S. j., and Rev. ]. T.
Burleigh, S. J.
Then the funeral car followed by
altar boys, men and boys of the parish,
women and girls of the parish and hun
dreds of others, who had felt the beautiful
Influence of Rev. Dougherty while he was
living and had assembled to pay a last
tribute to him, dead.
In the throng, which was one of the
largest ever attending a like ceremony
were people from every walk of life. Amer
leans, Cubans and Negroes who waited un-
til the train bearing the body of their be-
loved friend moved away from the scene
of his last earthly endeavors, which will
always remain better one because of his
benign influence.
