CHURCHMEN URGE

SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR WORKMEN Contended Peopje Only Safeguard Against Menace of Unrest, Points Out Report. WASHINGTON1, Feb. 13 Adoption of minimum wage schedules, maintenance in general of the wage levels attained during, the war and permanent establishment of the National War Labor Board and the United States Employment Service were advocated as essentials of a Just reconstruction in a report made public today by four Catholic bishops, constituting the Administrative committee of the National Catholic War Council. While favoring, In the interests of health and morality, prohibition ' of child labor and reduction to the smallest practical limits of the em ployment of women in Industry, the committee urged equal pay for women doing equal work with men. It declared also for Insurance of workers against Illness, old age, and unemployment until wages are high enough to tide over such periods, for abolition of monopolies, for continuance of heavy taxes on large Incomes and excess profits, for cooperative merchandising In necessities to reduce the cost of living and for government assisted colonization of unoccupied farm lands by demobilized soldiers and sailors. As a measure outside its present reconstructon program but of value in Bolving the problems of capital and labor the committee urged gradual participation by labor in the management and eventually in the ownership of Industry. Social Justice Urged The report, entitled "Social Reconstruction; a General Review of the Problems and Survey of Remedies", was Issued in the names of Bishops Peter J. Muldoon, of Rockford, 111., Joseph Schrembs, of Toledo, O., William T. Russell, of Charleston, S. C, and Auxiliary Bishop Patrick J. Hayes of New York. As members of the War Council's Administrative Committee they represent the Cath olic hierarchy of America in general direction of war work in this country and overseas. Declaring that "the deep unrest so emphatically and widely - voiced throughout the world is a most ser ious menace." the bishops held up "social Justice and a contented peo ple as the only safeguard of peace, The authors of the report disclaim ed any attempt to formulate a com prehensive scheme of reconstruction Their recommendations, it was stated. were confined to "reforms that seemed to be desirable and also obtainable within a reasonable time, and to those general principles which should serve as a guide for more distant develop ments." Provision For Soldiers Discussing the demobilization of the military forces, the report indorsed the suggestion of Secretary of the Interior Lane that discharged men should be given an opportunity to work at good wages in reclaiming unused lands, afterward to be as slstcd by government loans to estab lish themselves as farmers. It cred ited the Federal Employment Service with "a fair degree of development and efficiency during the war," and urged that Congress continue and strengthen the organization as a means of helping to solve the. ever present problem of unsmployment. The bishops rated the National War Labor board as "one of the most beneficial governmental organizations of the war." Its efforts, they asserted, had "prevented innumerable strikes and raised wages to decent levels In many industries." . "Its main guiding principles," the report continued, "have been a family living wage for all male adult labor ers; recognition of the right of labor to organize, and to deal with employ era through its chosen representatives and no coercion of non-union laborers by members of the union. The War Labor board ought to be continued in existence by congress, and endowed with all the power for effective action that it can possess under the federal constitution. The principles, methods, machinery and results of this institu tion constitute a definite and far-reaching gain for social justice. No part of this advantage should be lost or given up in time of peace." While holding that "mere Justice, to Eay nothing of chivalry," dictates that women who filled in industry places .made vacant by men called to war "should not be compelled to suffer any greater loss or inconvenience than la absolutely necessary" in the readjust ment under peace conditions, the report declared that no female worker should remain in an occupation harm ful to health or morals. In this class ification, street car operation and the cleaning of locomotives were especially mentioned. An efficient national employment service, it was stated, would be able to shift to domestic and

FARRAND IS NAMED RED CROSS LEADER

Livingston Farrand. Livingston Farrand is the new head of the American Red Cross. He succeeds Henry P. Davidson who resigned recently. Mr. Farrand is well known as a university president, author and member of many technical and philanthropical societies. other suitable lines of activity women war workers whose circumstances required them to continue as wage earners. Abolition of child labor, if necessary by taxing it out of existence in "stagnant states," extension of Vocational training and elaboration of the present experiments in municipal housing and medical attendance were - urged as steps toward equalizing the living con ditions of the employing and employed classes. Upholding the right of labor to or ganize and to deal with employers through representatives, the report urged a gradual recognition of the workers in the management and ownership of the industries of which they are a part. As a first step it suggested admis sion of employes to the industrial part of management through formation of shop committees to cooperate With owners of plants. The next phase, participation in ownership, the committee conceded was not of general value in a urogram for immediate so cial reconstruction. It classed private ownership as preferable to a "collectivist organization of industry which it characterized as a state of Socialism which would mean bureaucracy, political tyranny, general social inefficiency and decadence" but asserted that the present system, producing "insufficient incomes for a great majority of wage earners and unnecessarily large incomes for a small minority of privileged capitalists," needed modification and improvement.

WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY

This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium. Contributions rill be welcomed. Windsor B. Harris, son of Benjamin F. Harris, attorney of this city, writes in a letter to his father, that bis ship is still stationed at St. Nazalre, France, "a dirty little town" and one he writes he hopes is not representative of France. "Mery Christmas to you all," he begins. "Not that, this is what I'll be having when this reaches you, but because I'm thinking of it now. "It's a lovely morning, the sun out so bright, and it is warm enough to go around without a coat. It's a beautiful walk down from the barracks, along the shore. The beach is ideal and these Frenchmen are sure strong on parading. "It is a rather queer Christmas, because we were all wishing we were at home to spend it with 'the folks,' but we all try to keep that underlying spirit smothered, and do our best to wear the Christmas countenance anyhow. Last night when we came in from liberty every man had a package from the Red Cross soap, handkerchiefs, candy, socks, tobacco and cigarettes. Then when we came to the dispenswaiting for us with a similar layout. Mighty fine of the Red Cross. Believe me, Dad, when you have donations to give hereafter give them to that organization for it's the one that really does things for the boys. The 'Y, it is true, sells us what we want, at reduced rates, but when it comes to greeting us, giving us the smile and firm hand grip, and treating us generally white, it's the Red Cross that comes across. "Last night was a big time in this little town, and Frenchmen and our old-time navy men here did themselves according to reputation. I'm afraid I'm getting to see the porrest city in France. I'd hate to think that all France is like this dirty little seaport town. Hope to take a jaunt up to Paris when nice weather opens up." Lieutenant Charles L. Jones, son of Mrs. Pauline Jones of 115 West Main street, is listed in today's casualties as severely wounded in action. Lieutenane Jones is now in the camp hospital at Camp Sheridan, O. Mrs. F. Rosa of this city has received word from her brother, C. J. Reeg, who has just arrived at Camp Merritt, N. J., following active service at the front in France with the 603d Company Engineers Corps. He explained that he was fairly "blown up" by a high explosive shell sent over to the American lines on the 20th day he was under shell fire at Verdun. Reeg

' does not say how badly he was hurt. . nor what condition he is in, but writes that he hopes to . be home soon . as they are to be transferred soon to Ft. Sheridan for discharge. : "The weather is fine here," he j writes. "And I am glad of it for we I have been in a warmer climate and would notice the difference if you were having a hard winter. The only noticeable thing about the weather in France is too much rain April show

A detailed description of the great cathedral of Tours is given in a letter written by J. Edward Hoey on January 1. "If you had been with me when I left the cathedral," he writes, "you too would have thanked those people oi the Middle Ages who left 6uch an education, a pleasure, and an inspiration for us in this monument of their devotion to God and art. For me 1 shall remember this vjsit as one oi the fine secondary joys of this journey to France. "I also visited the great American aviation field here today. It is one of the largest of the United StateE army in France, and here the training of nearly all the pilots and observers in airplane service is begun. There was no regular flying practice today because this is a holiday, but I saw two of the larger planes flying toward the field as I was coming in. In many of the hangars around the field I enjoyed a close up view of the several hundred machines on hand. About all that lacked to complete my enjoyment was a trip up. The way those birds can fly sure looks good." 1. FAMILY MM: Why Spend So Much Money on Shoes? Here is what Tracy Munson of Joplin, Missouri, says of Neolin Soles: "Judging from my own experience, they wear four times longer than other soles and have the additional advantage of being waterproof and slip-proof. . Why continue to wear extravagant old-fashioned soles when you can get these money-saving, long-wearing soles on new shoes in any style you like for any member of the family? Good shoe stores everywhere carry them. And don't throw , away your old shoes. Have them re-bottomed with Neolin Soles and enjoy the comfort of a re-soled shoe which is not stiff or clumsy.

EVE

"GAVE ME GOOD APPETITE," HE SAYS OF TONIC F. L. Street, of This City Does Not Hesitate to Indorse Pepgen. One of the greatest pleasures In life is to sit down to a well cooked meal and be able to enjoy it. In this respect the rich, man has no advantage over the poor man. True, be may have a greater variety of foods but it bis digestion la not good, he cannot relish the foods his riches enable him to obtain. Many a poor man is richer with good digestion than the most bloated bond holder, with nervous dyspepsia. F. Li. Street, 630 North 10th St, Richmond, says: "Pepgen gave me a good appetite" and what Mr. Street says hundreds of persons with sorely afflicted stomachs, would like to say. If your stomach la upset and your food sours causing a bloated, uncomfortable feeling after meals. If you have no appetite and everything that is set before you looks and taste the same. It yon eat your meals in a mechanical sort of way. If you never get real, downright hungry It would be well for you to Imitate Mr. Street's example and take Pepgen. Scores say it has given them good appetites, made them stronger and feel bettor in every way.

ST0MACI TROUBLE

MRS. JONES OF MUNCIE STATES, NERVES AIDED Woman Was So Nervous Could Not Sleep Soundly. "I would be ungrateful if I didn't speak a good word for Pepgen," sayB Mrs. Mary Jones, 216 Wyser street, Muncie, Ind. "Before I started to take Pepgen I had pains after every meal caused by my food fermenting and turning to gas. It was a heavy burning feeling. And then my heart would flutter until at times I thought it would jump out of my mouth. "My appetite was almost a stranger, consequently, my vitality was simply wasting away. I felt tired and was very weak. I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep soundly. I dreaded to see nights come because I would have to roll and toss until long after midnight before I could go to sleep. "Pepgen relieved me. It seems almost unbelieveable to me that I am now eating corn bread, raw onions, and cucumbers. I go to bed and go to sleep right away." "My son, William V. Jones, told me about Pepgen. That's how I came to try it because it had helped him."

KM SAYS

HiNEYS 1Y MPGEN 99 PEPGEN TONIC IS EXPLAINED Non-Secret Formula. Enables People to Know What They Are Taking. Pepgen is not a secret remedy. The formula is printed on the back of every package. It contains only remedies of approved and recognized merit. All of the ingredients are carefully selected and scientifically compounded by the special Pepgen process in which neither sugar nor alcohol is used. Persons with kidney ills should carefully avoid sugar as should also peofple with weak stomachs. Sugar often produces what is called saccharine ferment. Alcohol is very bad for people who are subject to rheumatism and even the slightest amount of this stimulent sometimes produces an attack. In Pepgen will be found Peppermint Leaves, Gentian Root, Peruvian Bark, Black Cohosh, Fringe Tree Bark, Plantain Leaves and other Ingredients. Get it at Thlstlethwaite's or from any first-class druggist lit Richmond; or nearby towns. S 100 BETTER AND HE GIVES PEPGEN CRESIT Muncie Man is Now Proud Owner of a Perfect Stomach.

"My food soured in my stomach and made me extremely nervous. Naturally this broke up my rest and I felt tired and draggy when morning came. "But since taking Pepgen I actually feel just 100 percent better in every way. In the first place my digestion is splendid. I don't have one bit of trouble with my stomach and in the second place my nerves are stronger. "Last night when I went to bed I slept like a tired school boy. This morning I got up feeling rested and was stronger all day than I have been for a long time. My work didn't tire me as usual. "Now I know what Pepgen will do. for the stomach and nerves. I know what it did for me and that is the reason I am glad to recommend it to other people."
