6.0. P. DISMAY AUGMENTED DY C. OF C. STAND Business Leaders’ View on Tariff Is Blow: Issues Do Not Materialize.. BY RUTH FINNEY Timm Staff Writer. WASHINGTON, May s.—Republicans hoped a whole crop of campaign issues would sprout from the annual meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce Business leaders came and went, leaving the party of business nothing but husks for comfort. The rr.r. * radical administration of rerent ears emerged from this goingover wi!h one of the mildest verfi/'U the Chamber has ever turned in. Not a harsh criticism of the remit ry program was contained in resolutions adopted by the chamber, recommended changes were couched n general and conciliatory terms. The chamber s resolutions even borrowed some of the phrases of the brain trust. Reading them, the Republicans weren't, sure whether their old allies had undergone a change of hear* or simply hared the genoral belief that Mr. Roosevelt is too popular to attack. Tariff View Hard to Take The chamber's statement on tariff was the hardest blow at all. Senate Republicans are laboring to make an issue of the President's reciprocal trading bill. But the chamber said ‘the pending legislation . . . can have beneficial results if the provisions already added, including opportunity for interested industries to be heard before their situation is changed, are supplemented with a provision asuring our industries that they will not be placed at disadvantage in their home market.” The administration's air mail policy, which some Republicans feel i their best bet, was not even ment lonori. The chamber did take isue with the administration by affirming that (hat modification of the securities art and "additional improvement” of the stock market bill are necessary for business recovery. But the Republicans already have learned that there is no safe basis for a campaign in thse issues. The resolutions didn't even mention ‘regimentation." possibly in view of General Hugh S. Johnsons statement at Columbus that NR A has spent much of its time warding off urgent industrial please for just that. Company Union Jilted Most surprising, in view of past utterances, was the Chamber's disci on of collective bargaining. ‘"ln the exercise of the right to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of their owm choosing, employes should be free from coercion or restraint from any source.’" said one of the resolutions. ‘ There should be no attempt in any degree to lessen, through legislative restrictions upon particular kinds of organization, the freedom of employes in determining the form of any organization created voluntarily for collective bargaining." In choosing this way to argue against legislation banning the company union, the chamber has espoused a principle it p robably would have called radical a year ago. Johnson Is Critical General Johnson, hurling brickbats in the general direction of the departing business men. indicated that adherence to this principle is still to be demonstrated. "The law requires management to keep their hands absolutely off the choice of representation by their employes.” he said. "It is the exception rather than the rule where they have done this completely.” NRA’s first big legal fight, in the Weirton case just argued in Wilmington. turns on this point.

SALES. COLLECTIONS OF NATION CONTINUE GOOD Indianapolis Is One of Thirteen Leaders in Listing. /*/ I imm Special NEW YORK. May s.—For the third consecutive month nationwide sales conditions and collections in wholesale lines held their own, according to a survey announced by the National Association of Credit Men.

Centennial Celebration. a an THE administration of Bishop Joseph Chartrand virtually began in 1910 when he was made coadjutor bishop, although his predecessor. Bishop Chatard. lived until 1918. Bishop Chartrand's activities as the ordinary of his diocese. were devoted largely to three major objectives: <1) The spiritual advancement of his flock; <2) the co-ordination and spread of the educational institutions of his diocese; <3> the activities concomitant with the World war. which the Catholic church of this country entered into with full fervor and zeal. History must be viewed through the long perspective of years to be luagpd aright. Years hence, Bishop Chart rand’s saint liness and uplifting spirituality will be evaluated in a much greater degree than we now are able to visualize. His biography may begin by stating that as bishop of the diocese of Indianapolis, he represented an unbroken chain of French prelates in the line of Episcopal succession, the first four of which were born in France and the last two of French descent, although born in America. Joseph Chartrand was born in St. Louis. Mo., May 11. 1870. His father was of French stock and his mother was Mary O'Sullivan, a native of County Kerry. Ireland. Bishop Chartrand said on many occasions: ‘ I ow'e all that lam to the faith of my Irish mother.” He completed a classical course at St. Louis university and studied philosophy at St. Francis seminary near Milwaukee. In 1888, at the age of 18, he entered the theological course at St. Meinrad's seminary in Indiana. So rapid was his advance that he was ready for major orders before the prescribed age. In 1890 he went to Innsbruck, Austria, for further studies. He returned to St. Meinrad in 1891 and completed his theology there. He was ordained in Indianapolis by Bishop Chatard. Sept. 24. 1892. at the age of 22. By that time young Chartrand had been professor of Latin and had taught English and rhetorir. He w r as a master of elocution and in debate he w r as feared by all his opponents whom he generally vanquished. Immediately after ordination. he became a curate at the cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, where he served until 1910. On Feb. 3 of that year he was made vicar-general and on July 27. 1910 was named coadjutor-bishop of Indianapolis. The appointment of Bishop Chartrand. at the age of 40, as coadjutor to Bishop Chatard. relieved the aged prelate of many official duties which he found increasingly difficult to perform due to his advanced years and nearblindness. However. Bishop Chatard was able to officiate at the Cathedral until close to Christmas, 1917. On Sept. 7. 1918. after several months of confinement to his rooms, he expired at the age of 84. having ruled his diocese forty years. The solemn obsequies took -place in Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral with imposing ceremonies at which were present many bishops, several archbishops and abbots and the priests and nuns of the diocese. The remains were entombed beneath the high altar of the Cathedral. The first step in the educational progress made in the diocese under Bishop Chartrand was the establishment of a diocesan school board, one of whose duties was the adoption of text books for the parochial schools of the diocese. The intensive zeal shown by the bishop in the cause of education is best understood by stating that from 1910 to 1924. over twenty-five elementary and secondary schools were opened in the diocese. Bishop Chartrand's goal in educational progress was to establish free Catholic high schools for boys in his diocese. This he achieved in several of the largest cities. In Indianapolis he saw the completion of the Cathedral high school in 1926. It has been conducted ever since by the Brothers of the Holy Cross congregation, whose mother house is at Notre Dame, Indiana. In Evansville, the Reitz Memorial high school, made possible through the generosity of Joseph Francis Reitz, was opened in January, 1925. and is also taught by the Holy Cross Brothers. In Vincennes, the Gibault high school was completed in 1924 and is conducted by the Brothers* of the Sacred Heart. Free high schools for boys are also in operation at Washington. Ind.. in charge of the Sisters of Providence: at Richmond. Shelbyville and Aurora. Ind.. in charge of the Sisters of St, Francis. At the time of Bishop Chartrand's death in 1933. there were in operation 126 parochial schools and nineteen high schools and academies. BBS Bishop chartrand. following the footsteps of his predecessors. raised the status of education in his diocese to a higher degree than ever before attained. He was only stopped by the universal economic debacle of 1929 and his own untimely death in 1933. Not among the least of Bishop Chartrand s fine traits was his love for church music, which he acquired in his studies at St. Meinrad in charge of the Benedictine Fathers. For centuries, the Benedictine monks have been the traditional conservators of Gregorian, the official chant of the church. At St. Meinrad. it is taught and sung in all its purity. In assuming charge of the cathedral. Bishop Chartrand evinced a desire to have the best and finest music obtainable, and by his personal interest made it possible for the cathedral to have one of the outstanding church choirs in America. The Cathedral Schola Cantorum has blazed the trail in the rend’tion of approved music, according to the Motu Proprio of Pius X. issued in 1903. The high standard in music set by the Cathedral Schola has gradually been felt and followed in many parishes of the diocese.

The late Bishop Joseph Chartrand

Soon after the United States entered the .World war by a declaration of congress, the Catholic Archbishops of America, voicing the sentiments of the hierarchy, issued an open letter pledging support of the faithful, priests and consecrated women to the successful prosecution of the war. The Diocese of Indianapolis may well be proud of its world w r ar record. The honor roll of the men who served in the world w T ar 1 191719181 fiom the diocese, as listed in the records of the diocesan archives contains 6.858 names. Os these, ninety-five died in service. This imposing list is headed by BrigadierGeneral mow Major-General) Hugh A. Drum, a member of the Cathedral parish. The roster includes names from 178 parishes in the diocese. Eleven priests of the diocese served a. l ? chaplains in the war. Commissioned as regular army chaplains w r ere Rev. A. B. Duffy and Rev. P. H. Griffin. Holy Cross parish, Indianapolis; Rev. David Fitzgerald. Brazil; Rev. R. R. Noll, St. Francis De Sales parish. Indianapolis; Rev. A. J. Rawlinson. Brazil, and Rev. A. G. Wicke, Corydon. Chaplains who .served in connection with K. of C. activities were Rev. Joseph Bryan, Indianapolis: the late Rev. Joseph Honningford, Napoleon; Rev. Joseph G. Lannert. now of Columbus, Ind.; Rev. Julius Mattingly, now’ chaplain at St. Francis Hospital. Beech Grove. Indianapolis, and “Ahe late Rev. Leander Schneider. O. S. B. of St. Meinrad's seminary. The climax of Catholic w'ar w'ork in the diocese occurred in Indianapolis, Sunday, July 21, 1918. w'hen the K. of C. building at Ft. Harrison w'as dedicated with a solemn field mass in the presence of 10.000 people, at which Bishop Chartrand preached the sermon. Among those assisting w'ere the Governor of Indiana, Jas. P. Goodrich, the mayor of Indianapolis, Charles Jew'ett; the commanding officers of the fort and Supreme Knight James H. Flaherty of the Knights of Columbus. The Rev. Patrick H. Griffin, then chaplain at the fort, was celebrant of the mass. The music was furnished by the Cathedral male choir. Bishop Chartrand consecrated four priests of his diocese as bishops during his episcopacy. They were as follows: Right Reverend Emmanuel B. Ledvina, Bishop of Corpus Christi. Texas; consecrated at St. Mary-of-the-Woods. June 14, 1921. Bishop Ledvina is a native of Evansville and a priest of the Diocese of Indianapolis. At the time of his consecration, he had already been made a monsignor by the Supreme Pontiff and was vice-presi-dent of the Church Extension Society at Chicago, where he had also served as secretary of the society. On March 25. 1924. the Right Reverend Alphonse J. Smith D. D. was consecrated bishop of Nashville in Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, Indianapolis, by Bishop Chartrand. who v.as assisted by Bishop Ledvina cf Corpus Christi and Bishop Samuel stritch of Toledo. Bishop Smith is a native of Madison, ind.. born in 1883 and ordained in Rome in 1908. He was a curate at the Cathedral from 1908 to 1920 when he established the new parish of St. Joan of Arc. Indianapolis, and became the first pastor. He remained at St. Joan of Arc until his elevation to the episcopacy. One of the mast imposing ceremonies ever witnessed in the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul was the consecration of Bishop Chartrand’s Auxiliary Bishop, the Most Reverend Joseph Elmer Ritter, D. D. Feeling the weight of advancing years, accompanied by frequent attacks of illness and organic cornplica'ions, Bishop Chartrand requested an auxiliary and Dr. Ritter, who had been rector of the cathedral since 1924. was appointed to the high post bv Pope Pius XI. Bishop Ritter was consecrated as Titular Bishop of Hippus on March 28. 1933. in the presence of two archbishops and thirty bishops and abbots. Assisting Bishop Chaftrand as consecrators. were Bishop Ledvina of Corpus Christi and Bishop Smith

cf Nashville. Bishop Ritter is one of the youngest bishops in the United States. He w'as born in New Albany, July 20, 1892, where he attended parochial school. He completed his theological studies at St. Meinrad’s seminary, w'here he was ordained by Bishop Chartrand, May 30. 1917. After his ordination, he served six months as a curate at St. Patrick's, Indianapolis, and was then transferred to the cathedral, where he has been stationed since. On March 24. the present. Pope conferred upon him the degree, Doctor of Sacred Theology. n n a THE last consecration ceremony performed by Bishop Chartrand was a few w'eeks before his death. On Oct. 25, 1933, the Most Rev. James Hugh Ryan, rector of the Catholic University of America, was consecrated Titular Bishop of Modra, by Bishop* Chartrand at Washington, D. C., in the national shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Assisting Bishop Chartrand in the consecration rites were the Most Rev. Thomas E. Molloy, Bishop of Brooklyn and the Most Rev. Bishop Ritter, the auxiliary, of Indianapolis. As rector of the Cath-olic-university. Bishop Ryan, w’ho served many years as chaplain and professor of philosophy at St. Mary-of-the-Woods college, now occupies the most important Catholic educational post in the United States. One of the last . official acts of Bishop Chartrand w'as the appointment of a committee for the celebration of the centennial of his diocese which occurs Sunday, May 6, 1934. Bishop Ritter was appointed chairman of the committee and with him, eleven members of the clergy headed by Rt. Rev. Ignatius Esser O. S. 8., Abbot of St. Meinrad’s abbey and seminary and the heads of the principal Catholic lay societies of the diocese. Bishop Chartrand, on April 26, 1932, was honored by the Italian government with the decoration of Knight Commander of the Crown of Italy for his spiritual work in behalf of the Italians of his diocese. On Feb. 4, 1928, Pope Pius XI, honored Bishop Chartrand by making him an assistant at the pontifical throne. Bishop Chartrand was a stanch advocate of the Catholic press and during his epsicopacy issued many letters in which he exhorted his flock to be generous and zealous in the diffusion and support of the Catholic press. On Oct. 22. 1932. the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Francis H. Gavisk. vicargeneral and chancellor of the diocese, died at the age of 76. Father Gavisk was one of the most beloved and ablest priests of the diocese and nationally known for his outstanding work in the field of charities and corrections. He had been pastor of St. John’s church. Indianapolis, for forty years. He "was appointed vicar-general by Bishop Chartrand in 1918 and made prothonotary apostolic. July 16. 1919. At his death, the chancellorship was assumed by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph E. Hamill, Ph. D„ who was made prothonotary apostolic in 1933. At the same time, the following priests of the diocese were created domestic prelates by the Pope at the request of Bishop Chartrand; the Rt. Rev. John P. O'Connell; the Rt. Rev. William A. Jochum: the Rt. Rev. Frederic Ketter; the Rt. Rev. William Kreis. the Rt. Rev. Raymond R. Noll, D. D.; the Rt. Rev. Wiliam Keefe; the Rt. Rev. Maurice O'Connor and the Rt. Rev. Marino Priori. Ail of these monsignori were solemnly invested with their insignia by Bishop Chartrand in the summer of 1933. We now come to the last and most important achievement of Bishop Chartrand, his constant, dominant zeal in spreading the devotion of frequent and daily Holy Communion. It is this one enduring achievement of his amid the distractions of a sordid and materialistic world that will perpetuate his name for all the years to come. In Catholic dogma, the Holy Eucharist is the body, blood, soul

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

and divinity of Jesus Christ. Hence, the reception of Holy Communion, when the recipient is in a state of grace, is the most perfect and sublimest act of divine worship that any of God’s creatures can perform. Frequent, and daily communion* was newly advocated by a decree of Pope Pius X, on Dec. 20. 1905. From that moment, when Bishop Chartrand was still a priest at the Cathedral, to the very last day of his life, his whole heart and soul were bent in the spread of this devotion among his flock. His definition of a modern saint was “one who worthily received Holy Communion every day.” In his pastoral letters, sermons, public appearances and by his constant advice in the confessional and his personal contact with those whose good fortune was to know him, he succeeded in establishing throughout his diocese, particularly in his own cathedral parish and other parishes in Indianapolis, a devotion to the Blessed Sacrament unequaled anyw'here in Christendom. His fame as ‘‘the Bishop of the Blessed Sacrament” became known throughout the world. The frequent reception of Holy Communion has spread to many parishes in his diocese to an astonishingly large degree. Hundreds of people of both sexes, young and old. may be seen any morning in many of the Catholic churches of the diocese, approaching the communion rail to receive the Sacrament. In the cathedral parish of SS. Peter and Paul, which has a membership of 4.000 souls. 352.858 people received Holy Communion in 1933, or an average of 884 daily. It remains for future historians to chronicle the permanency of the ..spiritual progress of the diocese reached at the time of Bishop Chartrand's death. In 1925, the crowning recognition of Bishop Chartrand's great ability as a theologian, spiritual leader and an executive of the highest order, came to him in his appointment as archbishop of Cincinnati, the largest Catholic province in the United States, having eleven suffragan bishops and comprising all the sees in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennesssee and southern Michigan. Rome knew of his great zeal and ability as a member of .the hierarchy, but did not know of his fast declining health and bodily infirmities w'hich forbade Bishop Chartrand to accept the great honor bestowed upon him by Pope Pius XI. He declined the honor of becoming the metropolitan of the provice and of wearing the pallium and was content to remain in his own diocese of Indianapolis, which he loved with all the affection of a spiritual father. Among the many tributes paid to Bishop Chartrand at the time of his death, perhaps the truest of them was that proS nounced by Archbishop McNicholas of Cincinnati, who, in delivering the funeral sermon, said: "In this day of intricate goverments of compliorganizations, of mystifying oureaucracies and elaborate mechanism for the control of affairs, Bishop Chartrand, with clear viI sion, went to the heart of every question that concerned souls. His keen mind evolved no complicated formulas. Witlf true spiritual discernment. he recognized the need of making use of the divine means which Christ left to the w'orld for the salvation of men. He saw in the Ten Commandments and in the law of Christ and of His church, but especially in the reception of the sacraments, the perfect remedy for the evil afflicting the world, and the solution of its every problem. While most tolerant of those who did not share his views, he went on, not critically but confidently and joyously with the work of sanc- ! tifying souls.”

ON Dec. 8, 1933, the feast of Immaculate Conception, after having attended to his priestly duties as usual, he took sick suddenly about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and died at 7:05 from acute dilatation of the heart, in the presence of the priests of his household. The funeral ceremonies were held with solemn rites at the cathedral, Wednesday, Dec. 13. The Most Reverend Amleto Cicognani, apostolic delegate of the United States, was celebrant of the mass, and Archbishop McNicholas preached the sermon. Present at the funeral were three archibishops, thirty bishops and abbots, many monsignori, hundreds of priests and nuns, the Governor, mayor and many public officials and lay leaders of the community. His remains were buried in the crypt beneath the high altar of the cathedral, alongside the remains of his predecessor, Bishop Chatard. On the day following the death of Bishop Chartrand. the diocesan consuitors met in Indianapolis and named the Most Reverend Joseph E. Ritter. D. D., as administrator of the diocese until a successor would be appointed by the supreme pontiff. On March 19. the feast of St. Joseph, word came from Rome, through the apostolic delegate at Washington, that Bishop Ritter had been appointed as the regular bishop of the diocese to succeed Bishop Chartrand. Bishop Ritter w-as solemnly installed as the seventh bishop of the diocese in SS. Peter and Paul cathedral, Tuesday, April 24. by Archbishop John T. McNicholas, metropolitan of the province of Cincinnati, in the presence of all the suffragan bishops of the province, two abbots, all the priests and religious of the diocese. The celebrant of the solemn pontifical mass was Bishop Alphonse J. Smith of Nashville. Tenn. The day after his in-

CONTRACTS IN CHRIST'S LIFE TEACHLESSON Desirability of Thinking in Terms Above Mob Stressed. Text—Matt. 21: 1-46 it B B BY W. E. GILROY, D.D. Editor of Advance 'T'HE triumphal entry into Jerusa--L lem has become celebrated in Palm Sunday. Our thoughts have been given to this recently, so that we come to the study of this lesson with the preparation of the Lenten season. The description of the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem seems to have a unique place in the gospel story. We find Jesus on different occasions seeking refuge from the opposition and the persecuting spirit of the multitude. We find him, for the most part, avoiding the thronged public places, giving his greatest teachings to individuals and to small groups as he wanders through the fields, as he sits by the side of the well, or as he reclines in some home where he has been invited to supper. In many of his public appearances we see him confronted with opposition and denunciation. A few days after the events described in our lesson, we see him in a very different procession, to the Cross, being spat upon and reviled as he walks under its burden. Contrast Not Unusual How does it come in our lesson, therefore, that we have this contrasted incident? Here, as he rides toward Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, the people cast their garments in the way and throw' palm branches in his path, crying, "Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” We can hardly account for the changing scenes, but the contrast is one that has been by no means lacking in other periods of history and in the lives of great leaders and teachers. History records so many cases where the man who has the plaudits of the throng today is suffering the violence of the mob tomorrow,

stallation Bishop Ritter appointed the Right Rev. Raymond R. Noll, D. D., as vicar-general of the diocese. Mgr. Noll is pastor of St. Philip Neri parish in Indianapolis. This history is now brought to a close with the chronicling of the centennial celebration of the diocese which is to take place tomorrow. May 6 at Vincennes in the old cathedral of St. Francis Xavier. Because of the historic part played by this ancient edifice in the conquest of the northwest territory, the celebration will be both civic and religious in scope. The Pope's personal representative in this country, the Most Rev. Amleto Cicognani, apostolic delegate to the United States, will pontificate the solemn field mass in front of the old cathedral. I'he Most Rev. Bishop James H. Ryan, head of the Catholic University of America will preach the sermon. Archbishops McNicholas and Bishop Ritter will occupy special thrones. In the afternoon, the base of the statue to Father Pierre Gibault will be dedicated. Governor Paul V. McNutt of Indiana, will speak. Civil and religious officials of the state and diocese will be present. In conclusion, we feel that this history is too brief. But it had to be, due to space limitations. Every picture is limited by a frame. Our hope is that nothing of real value had been omitted. We conclude this chronicle of the Catholic Church in Indiana by quoting from the famous tribute to the Catholic church made by Lord Macauley, a non-Catholic historian (1800-1859) in which, after testifying to its undying vitality, zeal and efficiency, said that "there is not and there never was on this earth a work so well deserving of examination as the Catholic church.” After giving a dramatic description of its antiquity and persistence and of the innumerable dynasties which have risen and fallen while the church has stood immovable through all the centuries, Macauley concludes as follows:

"The papacy remains, not in defay, nor a mere antique, but full of life and youthful vigor. The Catholic church is still sending forth, to the furthest ends of the earth, missionaries as zealous as those who landed in Kent with Augustine, and still confronting hostile kings with I the same spirit with which she confronted Attila. The number of her | children is greater than in any l former age. Her acquisitions in the ; new world have more than com- ; pensated her for what she has lost in the old. Nor do we see any sign | which indicates that the term of her long dominion is approaching. She j saw the commencement of all the governments, and of all the ec- ! clesiastical establishments that now' exist in the world; and we feel no assurance that she is not destined to see the end of them all. She was great and respected before the Saxon 1 set foot on Britain —before the Frank had passed the Rhine—when Grecian eloquence still flourished at Antioch —when idols w r ere still worshiped in the Temple of Mecca. And she may still exist in undiminished vigor when some traveler from New Zealand shall, in the midst of a vast solitude, take his stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's.'’ THE END

or the man who is acclaimed as the very savior of his nation today w'as harried and driven by the mob, but a few years earlier. In our own day we have seen a rather notable example in the rise to power in England, during the war period of David Lloyd George, although in another war, the war of England against the Boers. Lloyd George was the object of the vengeance of a mob. which threatened even to hang him. Proves Mob Instability Probably the chief teaching of this lesson arises out of this contrast and its emphasis upon the instability of the mob. The greatest need of the man who w r ould discern true values, and who would always see things aright, is to get that sense of discriminating judgment that is not swayed merely by outward events or by inward passions and emotions. When w'e can observe some man who is subject to abuse and contumely. and can find in him some element of goodness that bigotry and prejudice have failed to see, we have put reason above the sway of passion and ignoble influence, and have come into the realm of moral values. It is not so easy to attain this as would appear on the surface. It is, in fact, the hardest way of life, and it demands life’s sternest and most supreme discipline. Fortunately we have the discipline and the power of Christ to help us attain to spiritual discernment. The man who is truly of the Christian spirit brings to life a sort of touchstone, in which the spirit of Christ in others is revealed. He can see in the prophet who is spurned and denounced and persecuted the true man of God, if God indeed be there. It is easy to throw our palm branches in the way, but it is more difficult in the hour of Calvary to be able to discern the living Christ in the dying victim of human cruelty.

Ind., is the name of the gentleman and he labels himself an "Old Hickory Democrat.” Has Four-Point Platform The platform proper embraces four points—money, wages, the New Deal and appointments—and Mr. Wilhelm leads to therrt by a preamble which contains the folowing opening paragraph: “I maintain that we must work out and adopt a permanent national program to produce wealth enough to provide all necessities, some luxuries and a fund to pay interest charges and reduce debts, or we must continue to mortgage the future.” This is followed by the suggestion that the unemployed be supplied with $2,000 each and be set up as farmers. Here it is: "The $2,000 will buy five acres of land and provide a neat, well built cottage, small barn, cow, twelve chickens and ample seed. It will prepare the land and take care of a family of five for four months. Favors Sound Money "The money we spent to take care of the needy in the Eleventh district of Indiana in 1933 would build 2.000 of these houses and supply a home for 10,000 people and make them self-supporting. "Construction of these homes will give employment to 1,000 building mechanics for six months and distribute enough money through their pay rolls among the business houses of the district to compare with the years of so-called prosperity.” Then Mr. Wilhelm takes up his four points. He says he is an advocate of “sound money and plenty of it” and points out that the only trouble with credit is “interest.” "I believe in high wages.” he continues. "If we adopt a thirty-two hour wpek. I am in favor of a dollar an hour as the minimum wage to be paid to productive labor. I am also in favor of giving women the same w es as men for equal work.” BRILLO MANUFACTURING CO. REPORTS EARNINGS First Quarter Income Equivalent to 16 Cents a Share. By Times Special NEW YORK.
