PRESIDENT SIGNS
WAGNER LABOR DIS
.PUTES MEASURE
HE ADMITS 1T AIMS
TO PREVENT
STRIKES

WASHINGTON, July 5. - The
Wagner Labor Disputes Bill be-
came law today when President
Roosevelt affixed his signature to
the measure.
In connection with his signature
OF the bill, the president issued a
statement in which he carefully
avoided any mention Of COMPANY
unonism. Despite all claims of ton
leaders of the A. F. of L. to the
contrary, nothing in the bill denies
the right of company unions to be
formed.
Board Authority Cited
The president particularly en-
phasized the "quasi-judicial'; char
acter Of the National Labor ReIa-
tlos board whichc the Act sets up.
The board will be a sort of Sn-
preme Court which "may" hear
new Weirton cases.
This act Defines" the President
sad, as part of our substantive
law, the right of self-organization
Oh employees in industry for the
purpose OF collective bargaining
and provides methods by which
the government can safeguard that
legal right. It established a Ma
tlonal Labor Relations Board to
hear and determine cases in which
1t is charged that this legal RIGHT
IS abridged or denied, and to hold
fair elections to ascertain who are
the chosen representatives of the
employees"
Aim to Bar Strikes
That the main purpose Of the
measure is to bar strikes was adj
mitted by Roosevelt.
On this point he said:
A better relationship between
labor and management is the hiob
purpose Of this act"
The act would be applicable only
wnen violation of the right of or
ganlzatlon interfered with inter
state commerce, the President said
y does not cover all industry and
labor, but is applicable only when
violation Of the legal right of in
dependent self-organization would

MussOlini Determined To
Have War against Ethiopia

Mussolini and his ally. the British
government, that Ethiopia might
possibly accept a mandate or
"protectorate," Halle Selassie sta.
ted:
Concerning an armed Italian
protectorate over Ethiopia, an Old
proverb says, 'One shouldn't sell
the lions skin before killing the
lion.'
Ethiopia is independent and will
remain so. 1t refuses to consider
the loss of its independence. As
long as arbitration is under way
and, in the case of failure thereof
as long as the Council Of the Lea
que of Nations has not reached
a decision, Ethiopia while keeping
prepared to defend itself against
all eventualities, will not proceed
with general mobilization.

NEW DEALERS OP-
POSE TRADE UNIONS
On RELIEF JOBS

WASHINGTON, July A. - Gov
eminent officials from Presidenr
Roosevelt down are giving broad
hints that while they are not ready
to admit open opposition to the
right to organize, they will seek tx
discourage trade unions on publ,
works jobs, thus setting a powerful
open shop example.
At the White House press con.
ference on Wednesday, your cor.
respondent asked president Roose.
welt whether it is correct to assume
that workers exercising the right
to organize and affiliate with ma.
tional trade unions on public works
projects will meet no opposition
from the government in its role as
employer. The president replied
this was a "new one" on him.
"He Can Starve"
To the explanation that a wide
spread movement toward suchc or
ganization is in progress, the Pres
ident responded the best answer to
this is that those who don't want
to work on these jobs-presumably
under any prescribed conditions, nc
matter how unsatisfactory-d on't
have to. What the President didn't
mention is that the workers only
alternative is to starve, since pres.
ent rules cut him off relief if he
declines public or private work.
On the same day Works Prog
ress Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins, when asked about the right
to organize on public works, rotor
ted, "Now don't get me into that!'
These are but the latest among
many recent indications that the
New Deal administration, through
its new works relief and its court
proof N. R. A. setup, is devising a
machine to advance the fascist at
tack upon the living standards of
both employed and unemployed, at
a rate of speed still not generally
recognized.
Still Lower Wages Due
So far as the unemployed are
concerned it is now quite clear that
organization is the only way of
preventing lower and lower wages.
This was indicated when the Pres
ident announced his monthly
wage scales starting at $40 and
again when he declared that the
average man-year cost of SLAP
for both labor and materials must
be maintained. But it develops now
that this low average will be SOU
eezed down still more: there is a
report abroad that the average
cost for projects already approved,
which takes up about half of the
81, 1000, 100000 work relief fund. is
so far above the Presidents figure
that the average for forthcoming
projects viii have to be brought
down to $500 to $500 per wear
While the Emergency Council de-
clined to confirm this, officials
there could not deny it.

Congressman Mitchell and NEWSPAPERS

Mr. Mitchell returns to give thanks to those who help
eG him, and to give account Of his stewardship.
This paper that has sponsored Mr. Mitchell for the
high position which he holds from the very start
takes pride in the very fine report he made.
His record stands out Ike beacon light and goes to
show what can be accomplished by genuinely inter-
csted r the Race, with stability, and good
mon sense. He has undoubtedly accomplished more
within The two months he has been in office than the
former Congressman accomplished during his tenure Of
office covering period of six years. There is doubt
about this-that the Race will get place with this
type of leadership.
Mr.. Mitchell took fling at some Of the newspaper
who have been harsh and unfair in their criticisms
The WORLD is not alnong this group Of papers. Mr..
Mitchell promises to make report through the WORLD
every week So and in his talk Sunday showed his ap
probation to the WORLD by saying that the WORLD
would be the exclusive Chicago newspaper to carry
statements Of his work. these statements be sent d.
rect from his office VI
Our readers will be delighted to know that the
WORID will be in constant touch with the positions of
our Congressman and that any time subscribers

History Of The Baptist Church
CHAPTER vi

lii the preceding chapters Of this
iistory, notice must be had Of the
act that the Baptist church is an
rather than an organiza-
ZION. Still, however, we have often
referred to the Great Baptist church
rs an organization. To those who
are conversant with the history and
the motivating mechanism OF tht
church Of Jesus Christ know that
the Baptist Church grows and
spreads from the action and impulse
OF a force within. An organization,
IN the true sense Of the word, is Il
series of organisms working to-
,5ether, and while it might have or
sanisms working on the same i'm
pulse and under the some influence,
the organization does not beat with
zone heart pulse. The difference
between organization and organism
is that, members of an organization
may have divers beginnings, divers
experiences. and many sources OF
life while all of the members of an
organism are born of the same
source, born at the same time and
grow and feed upon the same thing,
hence the Baptist church is an or
eanism because all of its men,
bers and auxiliaries were born Of
that same lowly Nazarene; they
were all born when he died upon
the cross, they all feed upon his
nlatchless spirit and grow thereby,
yea they all drink from that same
spiritual rock. This difinition gives
to us why, that no outside influen-
ces are necessary, nor present, in
the growth and spread of that
church which the Master left to his
heirs.
The American Baptist Home Mis-
sion Society found itself involved
in the anti-slavery crusade, defined
its position as follows: eve declare
it expedient that members now
forming the Society shall hearafter

noting the objects which were orig
inally contemplated by the Society,"

AS a general thing slaves were
not permitted to have their own
churches, pastors or preachers.
From Thompson's History of Ne
gro Bapt:sts of Mississippi" we
quote the following: "The early
sunrise meeting" was one in
which they spent their happiest
moments, no white person being
present to modest or to make them
afraid. 1t is queer coincidence
that gave rise to these prayer
meetings" SO prevalent even in these
times but few know the origin. The
patrols would be on duty all night
to see that no Negroes walked or
assembled themselves togethe,
without written consent from their
masters, early in the mornings the
patrols would retire from duty and
sleep during the day. On Sunday
mornings the colored people would
gather at the church and other pla-
ces Of worship and have these early
praver-meetings in their own way
while their mistresses and masters
and the ever dreaded patrols were
asleep ~
