Lip Service

Lip service that does not come from the heart in ones devO- ton to Gcd was condemned last night by Father Jordan, O.P. in his weekly Lenten talk at St. Margaret's church. Father Jor- dan compared some sO-called followers of Christ today to the Pharisees of old, who in the be- ginning believed in and loved God but became envicus of his many followers.
 Such people. he said, were hypocrites. Love of God, he eX- plained. must be unseifish. and true Catholic and Christian must be charitable. The exam pie of unselfish living was eX- emplified in the life of Christ and his passion and death. Father Jordan said.

MANY EMPLOYERS
Still Fight Labor Act, Mad
den Charges

Washington, d. g. (ILNS) j.
Warren Madden, chairman of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, in a
broadcast recently recalled that the
Wagner act did not really come into
full force until the supreme court
declared it constitutional only i3
months before. Then, he said:
MANY thousands of employers at
once accepted the law They dispens-
ed with their industrial spies, recog-
nized the dignity Of their employees,
and instructed their supervisors and
foreman to keep their hands off union
affairs. The consequence has been an
unprecedented growth of unions, old
and new, and thousands of new col
lective bargaining contracts which
have given mutual self respect and
stability to labor relations"
Unfortunately, Madden went on,
many employers were determined to
evade the law. "There is discour-
aging absence of any spirit Of good
sportsmanship Of fair play among
these people" he said.
Madden pointed out that strikes
have dropped off since the supreme
courts decision. In March of this
year, there were 235 strikes inyolv-
ing $4,000 workers, as against GA
strikes involving 100000 workers in
March last year, just before the de
cision of the supreme court.
The supreme court, Madden noted
has reviewed the boards work II
times and upheld the board II times
though it was necessary to reverse
the circuit court Of appeals, Z times te
do this.

those of men, in the jobs they per-
