For q Better CITY

Moking Money

THE SILVERSMITHS there In
L Ephesus had another theory.
The way they looked at it, the big
thing is money. They used to make
money selling their little silver
shrines. Now this fellow Paul had
come along, persuading people that
handmade gods are no gods at all,
and the trade in sacred trinkets
had fallen Off 1t looked like bad
year for the silversmiths. To make
things better, they decided, they
needed more money. More bust
ness! More production! The fact
that what they produced was not
only worthless but actually harm
full, did not seem to bother them.
Do you know people like that to-
day?

question H.: What makes q city
better? -Four different ideas ON that
line-two very bad ones and two
good ones-can b seen In the story
Of Acts 10.
You should read the story itself
before looking over these comments.
Because we are beginning toward
the end Of the story, with the very
lowest and silliest Of the four ideas
how to make a city better. It Is a
very simple idea: Just "holler, "
yell, make a demonstration. Make
II long, make it loud, and the city
will be the better for It. For two
mortal hours that absurd mass
meeting kept the uproar going ::
Great is Diana of the Ephesians /"
A curious thing, the mob
mind. II something is true. how
can noise make II truer? If a
thing Is lie, how can all the
shouting in the world make it
respectable? But the mob mind
thinks that II thing Is said
loudly enough and by enough
people, 1t Is bound to be true.
So that theater-full of fools wasted
a good afternoon shouting lie into
the deaf blue heavens. It did Diana
no good. She was as dead as Mar
ley's ghost, she had never lived, in
fact. 1t was no use drumming up
the decibels. Do you know people
who think they can make your town
better by shouting about it? It won't
work. You can make a town or
county famous If you shout long
enough; but you won't make it bet
ter.

Abiding BY the Low

THE TOWN CLERK Of Ephesus
L had simple idea, vastly bet
ter than these other two. He saw
no sense in the mass meeting, he
seems not to have been taken in by
the silversmiths' crocodile tears. II
anything was wrong In Ephesus, he
said, the courts were open, and
trials were open, and trials could
be held, We have laws-let us live
by them; that was the gist of his
idea. That is not bad advice.
All honor to the honest serv.
ants Of the public who now as
then give their best efforts to
seeing that good laws are made
and well enforced.
changins lives
G PEAKING OF LAWS, there are
- three kinds of people in the
world. One kind will not obey the
laws whatever they are. These are
the criminal classes. A second kind
stay inside the law" but they
never advance a step beyond them.
A third kind, too rare, will 70 far
beyond the laws requirements in
personal living and in social help
ftllness.
Now Paul had been in the city Of
Ephesus for some months, and he
had nothing to do with the laws Of
that city. Yet what he was doing
was more effective in making that
city better than anything the courts
could have done.
For what he was doing was
nothing less than changing lives.
"The trouble with people is that
they're people," and the bust
ness Of Christianity first Of all Is
changing people. II Is no use
hanging out the slogan For q
Better City" unless you are
working for better people.
A tree Is no healthier than its
roots, and community's roots are
the characters of her people. And
from st. Paul's day to this, the one
and only organization which sets
out to change people from the in.
side, is the Christian church.

who ran alongside, Wallace cir

hands with some, waving, smil-
ing. Delegations of trade union
lists carrying red flares, march
ing under the banners of their
unions, followed in a long, live
ly line behind Wallace's car,
television and newsreel cameras
picked up the scene.
Hands redeemed from c1apping
sent applause ringing into the
clear, cool night sky again and
again as Wallace spoke.
ANY state which keeps the
Progressive Party off the ballot
is depriving the people of free
elections" he cried.
With the decision of the ILL
nOis Supreme Court, which re-
fused to hear Progressive argu-
ments for a place on the ballot,
eve have reached a showdown
between freedom and fascism,"
he commended.
'"The fight for the ballot in
Illinois," he said, lis also a fight
to defend the Constitution of the
us. If they destroy your right
to vote for the Progressive
Party, they subject you to taxa
ton without representation
taxation for war preparations
without a chance to vote for
peace.
eff they steal your Progress
sive vote, they take your proper
ty without due process of law
they take $1,000 a year in
higher prices from each family
without chance to vote for a
rollback of prices to decent
levels.
"If they rob you of a choice
in this election, they destroy
your chance for freedom from
fear and want, regardless of race,
creed, or color. They pave the
way for attacks on the Negro
people and on other minorities,
not only in the South, but right
here in Chicago"

Cooling off is no
easier i'm Canada

OTTAWA (ALN)-A new ma
tional labor code, which draws
heavily on the Taft Hartley Act
for inspiration and was fought
by both ALL and CLIO unions
in Canada, became law this
month.
Among labor's many objec-
tons to the new code is the pro-
vision for a cooling-off period
before a strike may be called.
Under the procedure laid down
by the code, labor estimates a
minimum of 80 days will elapse
before it will be possible to
strike for wage or other de-
mands.
The code also allows an en-
ployer to challenge an estab-
1ished union each year to see
whether it continues to repre-
sent a majority of the employees.

The suit charges the union
with violating the Taft Hartley

ers. A similar charge against
the local was included in an I'M

Ask ballot reversal

Parenthetically, in his attack
on the Notwithstanding
deal to keep the Progressives
off the ballot, Wallace said he
hopes that america will
still include Illinois" on Nov. 2.
He said that the violence he
encountered on his recent anti
segregation tour of the South
did not shock him as much as
the news of the stoning of Cur
It's MacDougall and the attempt
to rule the Progressive Party
off the ballot in Illinois.
"At the very time 1 was see
ing the fighting advance of the
people of the South toward
more democracy, l heard of the
blow to democracy struck in Hi
nOiS."
Shifting his attention to the
recent decision of the CLOS ma
tional leadership to support Tru-
man, Wallace declared:
''Dillon-Read and Brown
Brothers Hartman (Wall Street
investment b king firms)
should finance the campaign of
the Democratic Party. The
Pied Piper leaders of labor have
no right to ask for workers dol
lars to keep Truman's Wall
Street gang in power"
He recalled how Truman
broke the 1916 strike of the
packinghOuse workers and the
coal miners and secured union
busting Injunction against Chi
cagO's striking printers and the
lOngshOremen.
He said that Truman, were he
actually opposed to the Taft
Hartley law, could remove Rob-
ert Denham, the anti-Negro, an
ti-labor administrator of the law
whom he appointed.
