perative that in order for the
human body to MAINTAIN a score
Of p%erfeet health, they must all
function as a unit.
As the human body acts so
must the human family. In the
words as recorded in I Corin-
thians, | quote; "For as the
body is one and has many mem
bers, and all the members of
the body being many, are one
body so also is Christ. For in
one spirit were all baptized IN
to one body whether Jews, or
Greeks, whe her bond or free
and all were made to drink of
one spirit That there should
be no sehism in the body bnt
that the members should have
the same care one for another,
and whether one member suf-
fere Il, all members euffereth
with it or one member is hon
.ored. all members rejoice with
it,"
The fundamental changes tax
ing place in Omaha today make
st imperative that the great and
good qualities of each racial
group should be recognized and
the power Of Christian love
end fellowship should operate
to Utilize these qualities Of each
group to enrich all. Moral and
spiritual reconstruction IS as
greatly needed in relations be-
tween races in Omaha as be-
tween economic classes.
The majority white group,
all too often regards the mi
nority-Negroes, Mexicans and
Orientals as inferior and ineli-
gible to share fully in the
wealth, culture and freedom Of
our society.
On both sides of the racial
dividing lines there is habitual
failure 10 recognize the eultur-
al, moral and spiritual values.
Especially is this true in the
relations of white and Negro
people, the two largest and the
most widely divergent elements
in our population.
The mutual failure to reco9-
nize worth retards the ex-
change Of values and prevents
cooperation by which all would
be enriched It leads the strong
err to deny a fair sharing Of
work with the weaker group IN
days Of unemployment. It fur
Their restricts the awards Of
economic wealth in times Of
prosperity. It places barriers in
the way Of participation in the
political, educational and eul-
tural advant ages, which should
be available to all. Tt excludes
the s~o-called inferior groups
from full participation il the
democratic processes with their
assumed superiors. Tt prevents
both minority and the majority
races from making valuable con
tributions to a common eul-
.ture.
The saeredness of human per-
.sonalities of whatever race or
color, and their equality before
God and the law are flOuted
when lynchers and mobs, as
was perpetrated recently at Wi
mona, Miss, deny the majesty
of law and outrage Christian
conscience and the spirit of the
Gospel.

JAMES X. FARLEY GIVES REBUKE.
Democrats Who Are Fight. ing President Are Giving
 Comfort to Enemy

Austin, Tex, March 24. (Up)-. Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley told the Texas leg islature today that democrats in congress who oppose President RooSevelt's court reorganization plan "are making a grave error and lending aid ana comfort to the enemy"
 The Presidents plan, he said, is based on "a mandate for irlstall- taneous action toward his great ob- jective--the permanent contentment of the United States"
 Farley asserted he was not "aspersing the motives or the sin- cerity of any members of our party in congress In opposing the Presi- dents court plan," but added:
 Making Grave Error
 Where 1t is merely a matter of method to arrive AC a result that all of the gentlemen have pronounced desirable in the past, think they are making Q grave error and are lending aid and comfort to the enemy by their present course."
 Farley said MT. Roosevelt ad- vanced his court plan because "he was told by 27,000,000 people to ful- i'll his program; to finish 8 job only half done."
 They did not, they could not, tell him how he is to do this," Farley said. And he, after canvassing every process, found that in order to carry out the program, 1t was neces- sary to get over the barrier of an infiexible, reactionary point of view entertained by five of the nine eminent jurists on the high court"

 Tt is our aim to build strong and permanent organization of the l,2b0,000 textile workers in the country" Biumberg said. This will not only raise wages and living standards of the workers but also will get 10 the root of the evils from which the whole industry has suffered by bringing organization and order in place of cutthroat competition and chaos"
 Adjust Differences
 Blumberg predicted that within six or eight weeks the organization campaign would gain sufficient 1neadway to have employers sit down with us and adjust any dif- 3erences."
 He emphasized that the U. T. w. Q. c. did not intend to "incite or cause trouble" but rather sought to adjust differences amicably. He could see no reason for "any hos tility with the American Fedora ton of Labor"
 Though construing pay raises granted yesterday as an attempt to balk the organization campaign, Blumberg believed they would react favorably to U. T. w. o. c.
 Principal wage increase an- nouncements came from New Bed- ford, where 10000 cotton operatives will receive a 10 per cent increase; From Connecticut. where five Staf- ford Springs woolen mills posted Increases for 1900; from Worcester, where the Bell Manufacturing Com pany will boost wages of 1000 Worsted workers and the Crompton & Knowles Company, loom manu- dacturers, will increase wages of 1000, and from Woonsocket.

 It is further emphasized by Brit aims open uneasiness lest a storm break, emphasized by the efforts of officials to persuade the uncensdred British press to Hay off" Mussolini voluntarily. They feel that the un- concealed satisfaction expressed both i'll Britain and France over the Italian reverses in Spain may prove more than Mussolini can tolerate.
 They also feel that the fact that French commanding officers and a newly-developed, deadly French au- tomatic riefl played large part m the Loyalist successes is no com- fort to Italians.

(Contlnucu rom rage D mentioned was filed with the com- mission early this year and hear ing was conducted February 24, in Hartford. No objection was inter- posed to the petition except in g letter filed after the hearing by Lionel LeClair, who operates a bus service in Naugatuck. MT. Le Clair's objection did not seem important, and therefore was not considered.
 Rails, Ties, Poles Going All rails, ties, poles, overhead structures and other physical prop crty used by the company during the era of the trolley cars must be removed at the expense of the c. R. & L., according to the finding of the commission. Removal must be accomplished within a reasonable time after request to do so is voiced by authorities of districts wherein they lie.
 Repair crews were occupied in Waterbury today disrnantling the trolley overhead wires and struc- lures, which were used on the Naugatuck- Waterbury line that was discontinued more than six months ago.
 Want Through Service
 Since bus service between here and Naugatuck was first used mere than Six months ago, patrons of the limo have desired through service to New Haven, which would do away with the necessity of the de- lay and inconvenience of changing to trolleys. At .he present time the c. R. & l.. operates through bus service to New Haven, via Cheshire.
 Manager Chapman of the local division stated today that the route to New Haven from here, via Nauga- tuck, Ansonia, etc., was really in three districts. From here to Derby and from Beacon Falls to Orange, which are under the c. R. & L.. and from Orange to New Haven. oper- ated by the Connecticut company. Trolley service, as soon as the new busses arrive, will be restricted to, from Plainfield avenue, Orange to New Haven.
 It is most definitely known that the Connecticut company will take further action to effect the substi.. tuition. Preliminary steps have al- ready been taken. Traffic of all kinds will be greatly expedited by the removal of the trolley cars and sometimes treacherously slippery tracks.

 Debate Tomorrow
 The first major reorganizat ton proposal comes before the house for debate tomorrow--on civil service. Inasmuch as the bill was rewritten by republicans no serious opposi- ton was anticipated to It's passage.
 Committees, meanwhile. stepped up the pace of their hearings on the more than 1000 bills still hanging fire as the session reached It's half way mark.
 The appropriations committee was asked for $2,OO0,00O to complete the Sherwood Island State Park at Wcstport and add to and improve other holdings throughout the state.

WELFARE PROGRAM

Hartford, Conn, March 24.--(UP) Means of financing q state welfare program which would relieve local communities and real estate owners from paying $2,484,000 yearly under the present relief set-up today trou- bled the public welfare committee of the general assembly.
 The committee held hearings on measures proposing state control and financing of paupers in state institutions, simplifying the settle- ment laws, assistance to the blind, sanatoria to admit any person com and authorizing state tuberculosis mitted in the same manner as state insane institutions.
 Dr. Charles c. Chakerian, re- search consultant for the state pauper law commission, which drew up the recommendations, said such program would cost the state $2,- ll2,000 year, but would save the towns about $300,000 more than that.
 Arc in Dilemma The dilemma the committee found itself in was expressed simply by State Sen. J. Kenneth Bradley.
 We might favor the whole plan, he said, "and fall down because we can't find the money"
 This brought Mayor John w. Murpry, New Haven, to his feet in anger. T hope" he shouted, mo senator or representative is going back to his constituents to report again that we've done nothing. hope you arc not going to fall back again on that old, old story How are we going to get the money?' Let's find some way to get 1t. Let's at least fight it out"
 Suggestions were made for a state tax on securities or incomes to fi- nance the program.
