BISHOP She'll
WARNS LABOR
TO AVOID ABUSES

Emphasizing the mutual re-
sponsibilities Of capital and labor,
Bishop Bernad ]. She'll this week
urged labor unions to correct
abuses within the movement.
Speaking before the Foreman's
Association of America in the
Congress Hotel, Chicago's senior
auxiliary bishop declared that
the unions must eradicate racket
GERS and communists whose Every
existence is a scandal to the en-
tire labor movement"
In urging labor's participation
in management as a means to
achieve more equitable distri-
button Of wealth without violence
to the institution of private prop
erty, Bishop She'll said:
eff industry is to recognize and
allow participation in manage
ment on the part Of labor, it is
time for union labor to correct
the abuses that crept into the la
Dor movement
He advised industry to acknowl-
edge its social duties to its work
ers and to the country.
''Proft alone has been for too
long the sole guide, in fact, the
sole god, in the business world.
Business has still to learn a very
simple thing: that human beings,
and human welfare are the first
concerns Of an economic system"

declared the American Commit
fee for Yugoslav Relief here this

In response to recent attacks

via, Michael M. Nisselson, chair
man of the committee declared:
"All Americans deplore the
shooting down in Yugoslavia of
five American flyers. 1t is to be
regretted that section of the
American press has seized upon
the tragedy for the purpose Of
stopping the shipment of UNRRA
and other relief materials to a
devastated nation which sacri-
feed /, 100000 lives-one in ten
during the four years of war"
"DESPITE the cries of those
who call for revenge, we believe
that Americans want the people
of Yugoslavia to know that their
heroism as an ally has not been
forgotten. The American Com
mittee for Yugoslav Relief will
continue it's efforts to raise
$5,000,000 for Yugoslav hospitals,
children's homes and clinics"
Nisselson continued.
