Adventurer to % Be Presented by Men's Club Capt. Irving Johnson Slated to Talk Wednesday at Caleb Mills. Capt. Irving Johnson, the man who sailed the little two-masted schooner “Yankee” around the world, is to speak in Caleb Mills Hall Wednesday night, under the auspices of the Men’s Club of the Episcopal Church of the Advent. With Capt. Johnson on his memorable cruise was Dr. Rufus Southworth of Cincinnati, brother of the Rev. George S. Southworth, rector of the Church of ’ the Advent. Dr. Southworth sailed as ship's physician. The young skipper is to illustrate his talk with motion pictures, taken with the camera that accompanies him whenever he sails. In the lecture to be given here. “Circling the Globe in the Yankee,” the audience will be shown scenefe on the voyage which began in Gloucester, Mass., in .November. 1933, and ended in the same port a year from the following May. Ship 92 Feet Long Among the ports visited were Panama. Pitcairn and the Galapagos Islands. Siam, Singapore, Java, Bali, the Indian Ocean Islands, South Africa, St. Helena, Devil’s Island, British Guiana, the West Indies and Bermuda. The “Yankee” which was built by the Netherlands government in 1897, is only 592 feet in length. There are bunks for 23 people, locker room for five tons of food, and space for over 2000 gallons of fresh water. Since Capt. Johnson returned last May he has spent most of his time cruising along the Maine coast. But he is scheduled to sail on another ’round-the-world cruise in November and expects to be back in May, 1938. Went Through Hurricane Besides his experiences with storms and savage natives aboard the Yankee, Capt. Johnson went through a wild October hurricane aboard Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock V, when, as mate, he helped sail her home from the American races. Much of the rigging was swept away and the food was spoiled by salt water, and so, to keep from starving, the crew took the Shamrock V back to England faster than she ever sailed in a race. The local appearance of Capt. Johnson has been arranged by Lyman B. Whitaker, chairman of the program committee, and Mr. Southworth.

Industrial Group of Pastor's Conference Makes It's Report Portion on Martial Law Presented for Adoption but Was Referred Back to Executive Committee.

BY THE REV. T. J. SIMPSON Pastor of the Weshington Street Presbyterian Church and Chairman of the Industrial Commission of the Indiana State Pastors’ Convention. This report was formulated by a number of ministers making up the Industrial Commission of the Pastor’s Conference. It /as read before the Conference but was not adopted officially by that body as none of the Commission reports were. The portion of the report regarding martial law was presented to the conference for adoption but was referred back to the executive committee where some opposition to its adoption was voiced. It did not get back to the floor. The report however, represents the opinions of a good many ministers throughout the city and state. The report follows: In view of the economic uncertainty and chaos in which our nation, and the world are floundering

today, we believe that ministers ofj the Gospel should maintain a prophetic passion in seeking after Christian solutions to our economic problems. In the-words of Henry A. Wallace, we believe it is our duty to discover whether there is some satisfactory method of stopping the

continually disintegrating effects of the pressure groups, and instead build up a stronger sense of the common welfare without sacrificing essential liberty of democratic process and the essential sacredness of the. individual. We recommend to ministers the reading of E. Stanley Jones’ book, “The Alternative to' Communism,” with a view of finding in all systems whatever elements of economic principle might prove more Christian in practice than the unrestrained profit motive of our present capitalistic system. Come to Industrial Centers We believe the time has come in our economic and social life when there must be some kind of control of industrial autocracy. We deplore greatly the incident of an employer in our state defying the highest ideals of our industrial system by declaring that the word “arbitration” is not in his vocabulary. We believe that arbitration is denied the worker that martial law in such instances is a servile surrender to Fascism and is to be summarily condemned. We believe a continuing effort must be made to maintain the worker and his family on a scale adequate to meet his needs in the field of health and honor and decent living, and that to this end there must be continued study and effort on the part of the church to lead the way in solving the problem of a more equitable distribution of the wealth of the land. Deplore Child Labor We greatly deplore the turn back to child labor, and the decided reduction in wages and trend toward increase of hours of labor that is , apparent in our stat* and nation

since discontinuance of the NRA. We believe the recent beginnings in the matter of economic security for both old and young should have the careful study and support of the clergy and the church. We urge ministers to belong to labor unions wherever it is possible and where they can. assist in bringing about better relations between classes. We urge labor unions to seek peaceable methods in their efforts to negotiate with employers and that they give greater consideration to interracial parity. We urge upon the church and the clergy a careful study of the consumer’s co-operative movement and the incouraging of co-operatives throughout our state. , In all these matters, we as ministers desire to take a prophetic stand, remembering that our Master’s first interest was in the underprivileged; that He came to seek and to save that which was lost—the spiritually lost, the physically lost and the economically iost.
