considered today by the commission.
The commission may deny the argu-
ments of alleged error in its decision,

reverse the decision. The best guess
today was that the commission would
throw out the arguments Of error. after

to the Washington Central Labor
Union.
Roberts and his associates made IA
points of alleged error in attack
ing the commissions decision. They
charged. IN part:
The order was unjust and unreason-
able in that it imposed distinctly
inferior" class of service on the public:
that it allowed the company to acquire
secondhand cars "of obsolete type"
for replacement OF existing one-man
cars; that they would not be safe or
adequate unless Of the modern type;
Holds Evidence Ignored.
That the order ignored the weight OF
evidence; that the full membership Of
the commission had not made a COM
plete and fair consideration Of the
findings: that the commission ad-
mitted, enormously, evidence that the
company was bankrupt;
That the order was unlawful because
it provides for degeneration of service
in violation of the terms OF the street
car merger: that the order ignores the
unanimous civic disapproval" Of one
man car operation; that the commits
sion ignored evidence Of the fatigue
and nervous strain" suffered by one
man car operators;
That the order was based on the
false representation" that no train
man would be discharged or forced tc
quit" by reason of expansion Of the
one-man feet. and that the order is
predicated on erroneous findings of the
financial conditions Of the company.

BY CURLEY PAPER
C. U. Professor Criticized by
Archbishop's Review for
Political Remarks.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, October 16.-The
Catholic Review, ofiicial organ of
Archbishop Michael J. Curley Of Bal
timore, who takes no public part in
politics Of any sort, in an editorial
today condemns two Catholic priests
for their political activity.
The Review levels Its blasts at the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin and the
Right Rev. Msgr. John A. Ryan Of the
Catholic University, Washington.
IF both the reverend gentlemen
would retire for some time to the
Carthusian Order, where perpetual
silence is observed, they would do a
great favor to the church and to the
country at large" the editorial says.
Bishop Curley himself appears only
infrequently in the public eye and
never has taken any part in local,
State or national politics. His latest
public appearance was in a Columbus
day address, in which he spoke out
against communism.
Ryan Answered Coughlin.
In that speech he advised his hear
ers to study communism so they would
know what they were opposing.
Bishop Curley is chancellor of the
Catholic University.
Msgr. Ryan recently delivered 4
radio address in which he answered
Father Coughlin's attacks on the New
Deal.
The Reviews editorial says, in part
''There are 10000 Catholic priests
in the United States OF that num-
Der 1888 are attending to their busi-
ness. which Is that Of their Heavenly
Father.
Their names are rarely found on
any front page - Few have ever
spoken over the radio.
I'VE have two politicians Just now
out Of the 10000; one Is the leader
in the business, the Rev. Charles E
Coughlin the other jumped
into the political swim over the radio
few nights ago. He is the Right
Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan, a priest OF
the archdiocese of St. Paul, Mimi
now domiciled in Washington
Sensible American people never had
any use for political parsons
The gentleman from Detroit doe,
not deny. Of course, that he is IL
the political field. He is practically
the head of party.
Render No Service"
THE two gentlemen who have come
into the arena Of politics are
rendering no service either to God
or country. They do not represen,
the Catholic priesthood CT this coun.
try, and certainly they do not repre-
sent the Catholic Church.
ITO consider either one as a spokes.
man for the church would simply b<
a joke. DR.. John A. Ryan is talking
for a citizen Of the United State,
named John A. Ryan from Mime
sofa, and the gentleman from Detroit
is talking for Charles E. Coughlin anc
for no one else We advise that both
retire into solitude and rest a while
The rest of us need little rest from
