MORM0NS AGAIN
CARE FOR NEEDY
All Who Have Taken Part in
Church Program Will
Get Benefits.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 2s.-Latter
Day Saints waging their 30th month
of war on unemployment and want
within their church, announced today
they are prepared to care this winter
for all needy members who have been
willing to participate in the church's
welfare program.
The program, enlarged to include
an unpaid Agricultural Committee to
assist farmers in solving problems of
production, other supervisory and ad-
visory committees and an enterprise
patterned after Good Will Industries"
never has looked so promising leaders
said.
An abundant harvest on dry land
and irrigated farms throughout Utah,
Increased contributions from Mormons
scattered over the Nation, and new
Initiative by wards and stakes (sub-
dlvisions) of the Latter Day Saints
Church, brought this statement from
the General Welfare Committee:
From reports received by us We
feel certain that no member of the
church need want for the necessities
OF life during the coming winter. At
the present time five regional store
houses and So stake storehouses have
been established and others are in
process of organization to store and
distribute commodities to those who
have been willing to render service in
the welfare program"
Two and half years ago, Heber ].
Grant, gray-bearded, venerable presi-
dent of the Mormons, announced to
his 100000 followers the formulation
OF the Mormon self-help plan, a pro-
gram which if followed as outlined
would substitute fast offerings for
taxes and titheS for bond issues. 1t
was designed, he said, to see that no
faithful Mormon need want for the
necessities of life. 1t was an incentive
for able bodied members to shun di-
rect, Federal relief for work projects
inaugurated by the church.
The program made no attempt,
however, to take members from Fed
eral projects as leaders contended
those persons gave full days work for
full days pay, thus maintaining
their self-respect. Neither did the
church attempt to care for non-mem-
bers in Utah.
A report on contributions received,
farm land titled. clothing sewed, food
canned, all in the name of the well
fare program, will not be available
until the annual reports of the church
for the year ending December 81 are
published to the membership when
saints come to this capital of Nor
monism for their annual conference in
April.
Leaders were sure, however, they
would care this year for greater
number than the 44,440 members who
last year received assistance of some
kind: that they would place more than
the 6,071 persons in private industry;
that more than the $1,502,45417 spent
last year would be expended.

BERRY BATTLES

from the Federal payroll as of NO
Vember 8, when he failed to be re-
elected, today indicated he will
wage a battle before the Senate
to retain his title of Senator until
January 8, at full pay.
In letter to Senator Henry F.
Ashurst CD of Arizona, chairman
of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, copies of which were sent to
other members of the committee,

Charles F. Pace, financial clerk of

Thomas G.. Stewart won the
Senatorial toga from Berry in the
November balloting, and Pace put
him Immediately on the payroll
on the ground Berry had been ap-
pointed to serve only until his
successor was chosen. Berry was
appointed May 6, 1887, to fill the
unexpired term of the late Sena-
tor Nathan L. Bachman.
Berry contends he was ap-
pointed to serve until his success
sor qualified" and Berry insists
Stewart cannot qualify until he
takes the oath of a Senator,
