This is just what has happened. The
Board OF Education is having to practice
economies limiting citizen groups in the
use of school buildings, and these econ
omies may possibly affect the length Of
the ngiht school courses.
In addition to this the school officers
are faced with carry-over fuel deficit
from the 1888 budget OF more than 1900
which gives them still less with which

Grave Mistake.'

According to the judgment of members
OF the Citizens Forum of Columbia
Heights, the executive heads of the De-
partment of Commerce were guilty of
grave mistake when they ordered
employees to report to work at 9 o'clock
instead of $3.50 each week day morning.
The ruling, they argue, results in lin
creasing traffic dangers" by causing
congestion on both buses and street
cars; and the logic of this objection
seems valid
Common experience suggests to the
average citizen that the earlier one
travels to business the more comfortable
the journey is apt to be. The rush hour
struggle to get from the suburbs to
downtown Washington is tedious
ordeal. If it can be corrected in some
part by staggering the time for begin
ming and the time for stopping work, the
whole city would be advantaged.
The Star agrees with the sentiment
Of the Columbia Heights citizens, hoping
that the department order may be re-
scinded.

Lesson for Labor.

The language employed by Judge
Salvatore Cotillo of the New York
Supreme Court, in imposing fines and
jail sentences on five union representa-
tives for violating an anti-picketing in
junction can be read with profit by
organized labor In delivering his lecture
to labor Judge Cotillo appears to have
stepped outside his judicial character,
but there is, nevertheless, much per-
tinency to what he said
The injunction, issued by Judge Cotillo
last June, grew out of a strike by en-
ployes of three retail establishments, the
anti-picketing decree being directed to
the unions to which the employees be-
longed There is nothing in the current
ruling of the court to indicate whether
the ban on picketing by the employees
a drastic step-was justified, and that
issue was not directly involved in the
present case.
The jail sentences and fines were i'm
posed, after conviction by jury, on the
bAoAAASoO AiAoAAoSC2 Va q 1NC" VI n 1OCd4
of the Window Trimmers' Union and four
hired pickets. Three of the pickets be-
longed to other unions and the fourth
had no union affiliation. 1t was also
shown during the trial that none of the
stores involved in the strike employed
any window trimmers, members of the
local or otherwise.
Those facts. Judge Cotillo said, showed
the controversy between the window
trimmers and the store operators to be
a faxed labor dispute" designed to cir
cumvent the injunction issued against
the unions to which the bona fide store
employees belonged.
Declaring such practices to be evidence
Of union "racketeering," Judge Cotillo
called upon the rank and file of labor
to pause and consider whether such
tactics might not prove harmful to the
future Of the labor movement. Asserting
that similar excesses on the part Of

CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN d, D, D. L,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

With boastiul pride we affirm that ours
Is christian civilization" In the face
Of this animation We have been made
conscious OF the fact these recent years
that our bold statement is being chal-
lenged, and some are Affirming that new
era is at hand In which the faith and
ideals OF Christianity are to have an in
conspicuous place.
There Is nothing new about this, it has
been repeated again and again through
the long centuries. Repeatedly the valid
ity and continuing power Of the Christian
Church has been challenged and its per-
manence as an institution threatened.
Despite this. history clearly indicates
that where the opposition to this ancient
institution has been most severe and
where the disciples Of Christ have been
most bitterly prosecuted, the Christian
faith and Christian institutions in gen.
eral have experienced rebirth of power,
and the influence Of the Christian con-
cept Of life been infinitely extended. The
periods that have been marked by the
decline Of Christian influence and the
influence OF the Church, have been the
passive periods where the Church sus-
tanned Itself by confidence unhindered
~ oPPSSAeASAA Va PClocCuIlOIl. II has OSSu
where the Christian disciple has been
called upon to engage in nothing that
tested his faith that the faith itself has
lost its power and persuasiveness.
The hrst three centuries OF the Chris
tian era were marked by bitter and stern
persecution, but this period constitutes
one OF the most glowing chapters in the
history OF the Church. The centuries that
have been marked by an unheroic express
sion OF Christian zeal have been the CEN
turies where the light on the altar was
dim and the fires Of prophetic zeal were
banked and unproductive.
There are those among us today who
seem to be fearful that the forces now
conspiring to defeat the Christian cause
are OF such magnitude and strength that
the citadel Of faith Is In danger Of being
taken If not overthrown. It is evident in
countries where free expression OF

Human Needs.

The 1888 campaign for the Community
Chest will begin on November 8. Pre-
Gminary organization and educational
work already has been done, and the task
Of soliciting contributions and pledges
perhaps has been made easier because
the people Of Washington have educated
themselves to appreciate their personal
responsibility for the success of the drive.
No one, at this late date, requires to be
convinced that the sixty agencies repre-
sented in the local aspect of the annual
Mobilization for Human Needs deserve
support. The general welfare of the
whole population of the District of Co.
lumbia depends upon the voluntary CO.
operation of every citizen able to give
Some. it doubtless is true, have been
tempted to believe that the Federal Gov
eminent has taken over the duty of car
ing for the poor the underprivileged, the
distressed, the sick, the spiritually dis
couraged men, women and little children
of the entire country. But President
Roosevelt has contradicted that mistaken
notion. In recent radio address he
declared: Very definitely we need the
effort of the pioneer agencies, the local
voluntary agencies. I am thor
oughly convinced that the American
people want to participate on volun-
tary and individual basis in the en-
deavor to make this country the best
possible place in which to live"
Especially with regard to the mainte-
nance of community morale, the Chest
appeal is valid, compelling and realisti-
cally meritorious. The Government is
struggling with the problem of thirteen
millions unemployed. It lacks resources
and facilities for serving effectively in
the larger and infinitely more compli-
Gated field of character building, the
protection of social and cultural stand
ards. the practical application of the
principle of human fellowship to souls
isolated in suffering. Human kindness"
the President had the genius to tell
America, cannot be created arti-
f1cially." 1t comes into the world by
providentlal endowment The state,
however anxious and willing, is no sub
stitute for it. Only through instructive
endeavor, motivated by love, can the goal
of a generous, honorable and equitable
civilization be won. The Chest agencies
are as various as they are numerous.
No government can or should be allowed
to replace them.

Arlington Progresses.

Another major improvement in Ar
lington County's development has been
made with the completion Of the road
linking the terminus OF Lee boulevard
and Arlington Memorial Bridge.
There was much rejoicing among mo-
torists when the new link was opened.
1t meant the end Of traffic jams that
developed at rush hours in the bottle
neck caused by the emptying of trafic
from the four-lane Lee boulevard into
the two-lane Arlington Ridge road
1t was unfortunate that the link from
the bridge to the boulevard over Colum-
bia Island was not ready when the ex-
tension Of Lee boulevard was completed.
Virginia motorists put up with the de-
lay with patience, however, and, no
doubt, will Appreciate the new route
more because Of the inconvenience they
have suffered.
The opening of the link is timely in
that it appears destined to be heavily
used IN a month or so when Key Bridge
will be closed to permit completion of a
new span at the Virginia end.
More and more the Virginia gateway
to the National Capital is attaining the
dignity 1t deserves. The Lee boulevard
Memorial Bridge link is feature of the
George Washington Memorial Parkway
and its completion emphasizes the i'm
portance of the State. county and Fed
eral governments cooperating in the
development of that project.
