PRIEST SUPPORTS LABOR
i'm RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
Msgr. Sheen Strikes at Liberalism
That Opposes Collective
Bargaining.

The Right Rev. Msgr. Fulton j.
Sheen, associate professor Of philos-
ophy at Catholic University, vigorously
upheld labor's right to organize in a
radio address last night on the Cath
olic Hour program. His talk was the
second in a series of II addresses on
Justice and Charity he is making on
the program, carried by Nation wide
network of National Broadcasting Co.
stations.
Attacking the economic inequali-
ties" of 10th century liberalism,
Msgr. Sheen said that, against liberal
ism that opposes collective bargaining,
the church argues that the workers
have right to organize.
THE church frankly told the en-
ployers the real reason they were
afraid to permit union was not be-
cause they were afraid of violating
freedom of contract. but because they
were afraid of diminishing profits If
they had to pay higher wages" he told
his listeners.

Three of the "a forecast that
there will be a further slump in
business, Three forecast no
change, Eighteen forecast slight
Improvement. None foreca t
marked Improvement.
To make the forecasts as exact
as possible, NewSweek asked the
economists to state where, in their
opinion, the seasonably adjusted
industrial index of the Federal
Reserve Board would stand in
May. This index reached 118 in
1929, averaged 10 in 1897, and in
February hit three-year low of
70. The lowest prediction of it's
lay point was rs; the highest 88,
and the average of all predictions,
81.1. For June, the average of all
predictions placed the index at
81.8; with the lowest forecast IA,
the highest 81. Sixteen of the
experts say that June will be bet
ter than Nav; five forecast a
drop; three anticipate no change.
To sum up, if these authorities
are right, there is no reason for
either optimism or pessimism to-
day. Business will improve be-
fore the end of summer-but to
very slight extent. The ''reces-
sion" will continue to hang on
but it will not grow stronger. In
brief, the economists think that
we are facing a waiting period
now, during which conditions
will be just about as they are at
present, with the trend upward.
Newsweek adds that nearly all
of the "a answering specified that
their forecasts were based on two
assumptions: first. that there will
be no major, startling foreign de-
velopments in the next three
months; second, that there will be
no important change in the policy
of the Administration toward
business. Unlocked for occur
ences in either of these matters
could. of course, smash even the
best forecasts to smithereens.

Railroad Finances

In February. the railroads had
an aggregate deficit of more than
$40, 100000 and since last June.
their cash on hard has dwindled
by over $4,000, 900. Some of
them have merely sufficient funds
10 cover ordinary day-to-day ex-
pens~s and consequently no hope
of buying needed locomotives and
freight cars. To illustrate how
the railroads purchasing power
has declined. figures show that in
1887 the carriers bought only
twelve percent of the steel indus
try's output. This is proportion
ately about the same share that
they were able TO take in the dark
year of 1881 Not only are the
railroads unable to buy necessary
rolling stock. but they are unable

90 take care of adequate mainten-

When the slump in business first
hit the country, at the beginning
of last fall, most expert opinion
leaned toward the view that ii
didn't amount to much, constitut-
ed but nomentary dip in the
long-pull recovery, cycle that be-
gan in 1885 and would shortly
be over and forgotten. When,
despite these predictions, the
slump not only continued but
grew steadily worse, the usual
forecast was that it would con-
tinue throughout 1887, but would
be overcome by marked spring
business improvement.
Today, this forecast has been
exploded-spring is over, and,
while improvement has occurred,
and been better than seasonal in
some lines, the grip of the 'reces-
sion" is still strong. Sufficient
time has passed for authorities to
adequately review the causes of
the decline, and the influences
that have maintained it There
is more realistic, factual thinking
poing on new-as against the
"Wishful thinking" that charac-
terized the statements of even
the best experts some months
ago. 1t is probable that the cur
rent forecasts of the country's
outstanding economists are more
important, and have behind them
a better basis for sound prophecy,
than those of the past. What are
the experts thinking?

Profits In 1887

There are some strange angles
to the picture. Earnings of many
large corporations in 1887 set new
records. In view of the fact that
these profits were made under
regulations, restrictions and tax
es. which, if ANYTHING. have been
lightened in 1888. the profits
made in 1887 tend to disprove the
allegation that the Government
has wrecked business. On the 9th
er hand, some officials, notably
Harry L. Hopkins, assert that
monopoly and controlled prices
have enabled business to take the
cream of the Governments efforts
and thereby prevent the full sue
cess of the Governments pro-
gram. Business, however, in the
face of declining activity, con-
tinues a clamor for relief from
taxation and reform and the
plaintive plea is heard from va
rious spokesman that the Presi-
dent do something to remove
fear by issuing a reassuring state
ment.

a Personal Defeat

a Personal Defeat
Undoubtedly the controversy
was seized upon by opponents of
the Presidents political program
as an opportunity to administer
a personal defeat. II is just as
certain that some of the opposi-
ton within both house of Con-
gress was motivated by a person
al dislike of the President. There
can be no question of this when
one considers that the bill defeat
ed was much miIder than other
measures similar to its essential
sections which we're passed by
the House tn 3 special session last
winter.
