independent, into new three
church Lutheran Parish is under
consideration by members of the

of Grace Church here and president
of the Staunton Lutheran Confer
ence of the Synod of Virginia

Mount Herman at Newport, st.
Marks at Mckinley and st. Peters
at Churchville.

cations already have tentatively ap-
proved the plan and members of the
congregation of Mount Herman are
considering it. Merger comes as an
indirect result of the split of the
Churchville- Pleasant View congre-

since the pastor who had served the
congregation went to Pleasant View.

can labor flourish"
Speaking before crowd of sew
eral thousand persons at a Labor
Day rally, Mr.. Smith called on
workers and all other Americans to
put forth every possible effort lin
the fight against Hitlerism, no mat
ter how long it lasts and no matter
what its material cost"
I'VE cannot afford and we cannot
tolerate another Versailles peace"
the speaker said "All imperialism.
our own included, must go once and
forever"
Mr.. Smith, whose N L. r B. term
expired last week, said labor must
not sacrifice all economic gains
while industry profits.
Dangerous Doctrine.
"A strange dangerous economic
doctrine fills the air and is receiving
welcome acceptance in the ears Of
personnel personages." he declared.
adding that TO prevent rising wages
and to lower labor's standard Of
living are no fit slogans with which
10 make Americas contribution to
an anti-Fascist war"
Enumerating some of the gains
made by labor and citing some leg
lslatlve action taken to protect its
rights. Mr.. Smith stated:
Il regret that in certain recent
decisions, the National Labor ReIa-
tionS Board, in my opinion. has
fallen away seriously from estab-
llshed principles which were of great
Importance TO labor in making a
vital reality of the projections writ
ten into the statute"
KatZ Also Speaks.
He referred to the Wurhtzer case.
IN which a majority of the board
held that strikebreakers as well as
strikers should be permitted TO vote
IN Labor Board elections and re-
called registering his conviction that
| the industrial unit is the most ap-
proprlate for collective bargaining
IN terms of the purposes Of the act.

permitting diffusions of their
strength by splitting off into multi
pleX units.

rally, the first such celebration TO
be held in Cumberland in Is years,
