Plea for Labor Peace

Plea for Labor Peace
An open letter to our good
friends in the labor movement
John Lewis and Bill Green. I.
as a labor man Of 80 years Of
good standing, am just about
fed up with reading Of your
quibblings over your different
positions in our labor movement.
I thought you were a couple
of big men. So let's see II you
are big enough to really sit
down as Bill and John and try
to forget your personsble
Squabbles and ambitions long
enough to remember that you
are affecting the lives Of several
million good hard working men
and their families. And then
get together and really settle
this thing.
You can do it if you are big
enough and, If you are not, then
1t is time for you both to step
out and give others who are
anxious for harmony a chance.
Do you realize you are not
only splitting the union men of
this country but also are bring
ing UNIV arranted criticism on
the man who has given not only
union labor but all labor the
greatest break they have ever
had. I mean Franklin D. Rose
velt. Don't you think he, as
well as the general public, is
entitled to some consideration.
I do, and I believe there are
millions who also think the same
way. LEE G. MITCHELL.

ton, is vitally concerned in the
serious relief situation facing
the community.
We are basing an appeal for
larger appropriations for the
fiscal year 1899 on facts which
have been gathered during the
period of the last few years
and the experience Of our mem
Der agencies during these years.
Employable men, willing to
work, are unemployed. They.
their wives and babies are
slowly starving. There is not
one cent of relief available for
them.
Relief funds, from the Dis
trict's own tax money, are so
inadequate that general pub
lie relief is available only for
families in which there is no
employable person, and not
even for all Of these. If the
amount recommended to Con-
gress for general relief in 1899
Is not increased, half Of the
$500 families now receiving aid
must be dropped.
100000 NEEDED
In December alone, 1888
families representing 1890 peo-
pie, were refused aid by the
Public Assistance Division be-
cause no funds were available.
Many were sick as well as des-
titute. It Is estimated that
an additional two million dol.
lars is needed to put bread into
the mouths Of these children
and their parents, to keep roofs
over their heads. to supply
them with fuel-the bare neces.

What Next From Hitler?

~ BSERVERS everywhere are watching the purge
" of the ''von" generals in the German army with
out, apparently, making head tail of it. Certainly
we've gotten light leading from the published
comments we've read
There is book in circulation however, from which
one at least get lunches regarding what Hit
Ter may be planning to do next. The book is Hitlers
own-"Mein Kampf," meaning 'My Battle" pub
lshed in 1888, shortly after Hitler muscled himself
into the German ChancelIorship under old President
Won Hndenburg.
In this book written largely in Jail in 1924 Hitler
unbosomed his plans for Germany; and it is unde
niable that for five years he has held unswervingy
to the mapped out in "My Battle'' He said
he hated the Jews he has tried and is trying to stamp
the Jews out of Germany or drive them out He said
the Rhneland had to be remitarized to restore Ger
man self-respect and "show' France; and Hitler
marched his soldiers into the Rhineand in March,
1886 He has played safe with England been nice to
Mussolin sriven to isolate France, exactly as out
lined in "My Battle"
Well, what next, now that Hitler has bounced the
leading "vons" and taken all power unto himself?
"My Battle" also contains some remarks about
Russia The Russian Ukraine Hitler regards as ideal
colonzing territory for Germany; far better than
African swamps swarmlng with lot Of unruly
ages The Russian nation, to his translated
words, 'combnes rare mixture Of bestial cruelty
and vast skill in lies its present Red rulers he calls
slow blOodstaned criminals. the of humanity"
Russia's big Ukraine territory, with its rich wheat
lands and its natural resources beckonng German
technicans and organizers looks to Hitler like fruit
ripe for Germany to pick.
That would mean more land, for more people, for
soldiers for land in the tradition of die
tators everywhere.
The European practice has been to start wars after
the harvess in That provides the starter nation
with its own harvest to go on, and gives it chance
RUssin to grab the enemy's harvest
,,. On the strength of 'My Battle it looks
Ne"'' as if Hitler's next major move is against
Russia, via Czechoslovaka, with the German navy per
haps moving simultaneously against Leningrad. And
form for past European wars it looks if the guns
might begin to roll about the end of next July or the
beginning of August.
This is only speculation; but it is backed up by
facts than some of the specuations we've read
since Gen. Won Blomberg married the carpenter s
daughter and Hitler began the army purge
more important question for us is: If these two
totaitarian countries, whose governments are more
alike than unlike, should get into death grapple
what would be the sensible course for the democratic
nations-ourselves Britain, France and the Scandi-
navaR countries7
We may have to decide that question sooner than
we suppose. It mg ght' be as we'll for us to do some
serious and selfish thinking about it now.

Just as impossible for the Chest
to break faith with them and to

public funds from the health
department, public schools and
libraries to meet relief needs.
URGE MORE FUNDS
In view of the above Mtua'

1899 appropriation for the Pub

amount available during the

Sunday School Lesson

they were powerless. The fathers
faith, apparently, had been some
what shaken by this failure. After
conversing with the father about
the condition of his son, Jesus
said unto him, IF thou canst be-
lieve, all things are possible to
him that believeth". These words
revived the fathers fading hope,
and he, with tears, replied, Lord,
l believe; help thou mine unbe-
lief.
Following this declaration of
faith and belief, Jesus made the
boy whole, gave him a new lease
on life, and gave him back to his
now joyful father. Do we won
der why it was that the disciples,
to whom Jesus had given power
to perform miraculous works of
healing, were unable to heal this
boy? Herbert S. Wilkins explains
it thus:
"The disciples were not effec-
tive, and we are not effective, for
the following reasons: % The
disciples, apparently, relied upon
themselves. 1t does not appear
from the story that they referred
the case to Jesus. It was the man
who told him of it. It was We
who failed to cast out the evil
spirit. How often do we fail be-
cause we do not rely upon him to
do these miracles through US!
And (2), the disciples failed-and
so do we-because they lacked
faith. They probably tried TO
carry out the cure in the half
hope that something might hap
pen. Do not we fail likewise to
cure the worlds ills because we
have not faith that it can happen,
that it will happen?"
When asked by the disciples,
"Why could we not cast him (the
demon) out?" Jesus replied, ''This
kind can come forth by nothing
but by prayer and fasting. APP
parently, Jesus knew that while
he had spent the night on the
mountain-top in prayer and COM
munion with God, his disciples
had not done likewise. They had
apparently yet to learn that
through spiritual communion
with their Creator, the individual
soul develops faith and faith
gives power.
Thus, from the mountaintop
experience, Jesus descended into
the valley of everyday service.
He knew the lesson which many
of us have never learned, that
while vision is indispensable to
the highest form of life, it is in
no sense to be desired as sub
stitute for living. Just as faith
without works, is dead, so vision
without a corresponding transla-
ton of itself into service is inef-
fectual. Surely the Christian needs
the mountain-top experiences
with their inspiration and exhal-
tation, but the world needs the
service which should follow such
experiences.

Lesson Text: Mark 9:l4-29

AS pointed out IN our last les
son, Peters interruption of the
TRANSPORTATION scene was unhap-
Ply. Feeling that he had to say
something and lacking real un-
Outstanding of the deeper mean
ing of the scene before him, he
rapturously declared, Lord, it is
good for us to be here. So good,
in fact, that he suggested that
they make it their permanent
abode, by building tabernacles, or
dwelling places, for Jesus, for
Moses and Elijah.
Suppose Jesus and his disciples
had remained there on the noun
taintop-what would have be-
come of Jesus ministry? What
would have become of the cross?
AS we all know, it takes more
than pretty sentiments and plous
words to save the world. Sentl-
ment is not enough, vision is not
enough; sentiment and vision
must be translated into action.
AS soon as Jesus and his dis
ciples reached the foot of the
mountain, however, Peter saw
how very foolish his suggestion
had been, that it would not have
been good" for Jesus to have re-
NAMED on the mountain-top, for
there were people who were in
dire need of Jesus. There was
father, agonized with concern and
grief on account of the distress
ing condition of his boy; there
were nine of his disciples disap-
pointed and discouraged because
of their failure to meet the needs
of this father and his son; and
there was a puzzled multitude,
bewildered by the disciples fail
ure, and in imminent danger be-
cause of it, of losing what faith
they had in Jesus Christ himself.
Upon seeing his disciples sur
rounded by the questioning
crowds, Jesus inquired as to the
cause of the excitement and argu-
ment. He learned the cause from
the father, who explained that he
had brought his son, who was an
epileptic, to the disciples, but
