and explained in the bishops’ state
ment in the light of Christian Truth.

ceived by the Most Rev. James T. G.
Hayes, S. J., Bishop of Cagayan, Phil
ippine Islands, that the Belgian Can-
nonesses of St. Augustine have sent
four Sisters to assist at the Cebu
Leper Colony.

about 600 lepers at Cebu, and in the
other leprosarium cared far by Amer
ican Jesuits in the Philippines, that

ers.
Catholic Church, being the historic
friend of labor, exposes and con
demns the false and destructive
teachings of Communism and Bol
shevism.” The Church, he said, has
insisted “upon the working man’*
right to a living wage,” and seeks
“to safeguard him in his right to or
ganize for all lawful ends; his right
to inherit and bequeath property, his
right to improve himself and to ad
vance by merit to a position of re
sponsibility.”
PRIEST URGES WORKERS
TO JOIN LABOR UNIONS
UNIONTOWN, Pa.—Every worker
has the duty to himself and to his
fellowmen to join his union and to be
proud of his membership,” the Rev.
Dr. Francis J. Haas, director of the
National Catholic School of Social
Service and a member of the Labor
Advisory Board of the National Re
covery Administration, declared in an
address at a great Labor Day cele
bration here.
“Given two men of equal ability,"
Dr. Haas declared, “one a union man
and the other non-union, unques
tionably the union man is the better.
He recognizes his obligation to him
self, his family, and the country.
Unionism is a way of life. Intelli
gently led, whole-heartedly joined in
by the rank and file, honestly recog
nized by employers, with the govern
ment as presiding officer, is the nec
essary foundation for our future in
dustrial society. Unionism does not
mean armed truce. It means confer
ence, cooperation, and peace. To this
happy ideal we are privileged to look
forward today.”
SPEAKER HAILS CHURCH
AS CHAMPION OF LABOR
BOSTON.—The Catholic Church
was hailed as labor’s constant cham
pion seeking to protect the worker
from capitalistic domination on the
one hand and from the godless “ma
terialistic socialism” on the other, in
an address by William E. Kerrish,
vice president of the Catholic Truth
Guild, in an address delivered over
Station WNAV here.
Mr. Kerrish emphasized that “the

OHIO SCHOOL BILL
ACTION POSTPONED
Assembly “Tables” Measure
Which Would Provide Aid
for Parochial Schools
( By N. C. W. C. News Service)
COLUMBUS, Ohio—The lower
house of the General Assembly today
voted to postpone action on the
Goodwin-Smolka bill to extend state
aid to parochial schools. The vote to
“table” the measure came after weeks
of debate and consideration of the
measure by a special committee.
The bill, which would appropriate
$1,500,000 up to December 31, 1333,
and $2,500,000 for 1934, for teachers’
salaries and for expenses, was intro
duced in "the House by Representa
tive William M. Goodwin, and in the
senate by Senator John F. Smolka.
The bill was introduced “to pro
vide temporary relief for the public
school system of Ohio by temporary
appropriations to continue the opera
tion of free tuition schools not op
erating under the public boards of
education of Ohio.”
Figures submitted by ,the diocesan
superintendents of parochial schools
show that free tuition schools pro
vide for more than 171,600 elementary
and high school pupils. The amount
to be appropriated if the bill passes
is approximately $14 per pupil per
school year. It is estimated that this
will save the State of Ohio approx
imately $17,500,000 in not being re
quired to provide for the pupils now
in free tuition schools.
An interesting sidelight on the way
the general public view the question
was afforded by a random pool taken
in Columbus by The Ohio State Jour
nal. To the inquiry. “Should Ohio
extend financial aid to parochial
schools?” four out of five replied in
the affirmative.
SECULAR PAPER URGES

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio—The State
Legislature was urged to enact legis

Shanghai will now be in the hands
of the Chinese clergy, the Rev. Pe
ter Tseng, former Vicar General of
barmen, having been named Rector.

mistake. The stranger, the story adds,
was John J. Easkob.

Late Justice Carroll
Honored by Bay State
Protestant Chief Justice Re
calls Sterling Catholicity of
Noted Jurist
(By N. C. W- C. News Service)
BOSTON.—The bench and bar of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
have just honored the memory of the
late Judge James Bernard Carroll, or
of the Supreme Court of Massachu
setts for 17 years, at rites held in the
Supreme Court, where Judge Carroll
formerly sat.
Among the notables of the state who
paid tribute to Judge Carroll at the
exercises were: Attorney General Jo
seph E. Warner, who presented the
memorial of the bar committee to be
spread on the records of the court;
Senator David I. Walsh, of Massachu
setts, who, as governor, appointed
Judge Carroll to both the Superior
and Supreme Courts; Judge Wallace
R. Heady, of Springfield, and James
E. Connell, of Boston, and Addison L.
Green, of Holyoke, prominent attor
neys.
Judge Carroll was eulogized by
Chief Justice Arthur P. Rugg, in re
sponding from the bench. On the
bench with Judge Rugg were the six
associate justices.
Judge Rugg, in his address, declar
ed that “no appraisal of Judge Car-
roll would be complete which omitted
his devout adherence to the Roman
Catholic Church.” “He.was ccnstam
and unwavering in belief in its ten
ets,” he added, “in observance of its
rites, in attendance upon its public
worship, in active participation in its
charities, and in striving for unceas
ing growth in Religious stature in
himself and others. There was strik
ing evidence of his abiding faith in
his final moments. Receiving the Last
Sacraments of the Church and being
told that there was little chance of
his recovery, he replied with a smile,
‘I have lived my life for .his day.’ ’*
Protestant Journal Praises
Dr. Orchard, Noted Convert
Christian Century, Chicago,
Pays Tribute to His Char
acter and Ability
(By N. C. W. C. NEWS Service)
CHICAGO—The conversion of Dr.
William Edward Orchard, famous
English clergyman, who * has since
announced his desire to enter the
Catholic priesthood, is the subject of
an article in a recent number of
The Christian Century, non-seetarian
Protestant publication. The article,
written by the London correspondent
of the magazine, Edward Shillito,
voices the highest admiration for Dr.
Orchard and for the motives which
guided him in his decision to enter
the Catholic Church.
RELIGIOUS FROM U. S.
SUPERIOR IN FRANCE
“Those of us who love Orchard,”
the article states, “have known for
years that this might happen; he has
never disguised the feeling that for
one who believed passionately in the
Christian faith Rome might prove the
only refuge. But for years he has
tried in much loneliness and with
patience to live within the Catholic
faith, holding the historic doctrines,
without being received into the
Roman church. That struggle has
ended now, and this fine soul, like
so many others, has found the nath
of his life moving to Rome. Not since
Father Haturin left the Church of
England for Rome in the ’90s has a
preacher so eminent in this country
been received into the Cathilic
Church.
“No one who knows Orchard can
doubt that the one desire of his life
has been to know God and to find
peace in Him. No one could think for
a moment that any other motive has
been in his mind than to abide in the
Will of God. He made a brave
attempt to hold Catholic doctrine,
while remaining among the reformed
churches. He has given up that con
flict, but the man himself will not
be lost to us, and in Rome, or out of
PARIS.—A former Religious of
Hartford, Conn., has just been named
Superior General of the Institute of
the Missionaries of la Salette. He is
the Rev. Etilenne Xavier Cruveiller,
and replaces Father Celestin Crozet
who becomes his assistant. Born in
the French diocese of Mende, Father
Cruveiller was sent to the newly
opened house at Hartford, where he
made his first vow in 1893. Seven
years later he was ordained by the
late Bishop Michael Tierney of Hart
ford.
DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY
PROFESSOR TRAPPIST,
CUMBERLAND, R. I.— Hie Rev.
John Maulloy, former member of the
Holy Ghost Order, and, from his ordi
nation in 1910, until 1930, associated
with Duquesne University, fitts-
burgh, as a member of the faculty,
has just been professed as a member
of the Cistercian Order at the Monas
tery of Our Lady of the Valley, here.
Hie Mess of profession was celebrated
by Father Aelred, a former lieuten
ant in the British air corps. Mem
bers ' of the Holy Ghost Congregation
were present at the Mass.
Rome he will still be a man by him
self, one whose faith and love have
been and will remain a rebuke and
an inspiration. It is said that he will
be a Dominican; 'the Dominicans are
great preachers, and should know
how to use this preacher.”
In the same issue the magazine’s
correspondent writes of the con
version to Catholicism of Oscar
Bauhofer, until recently the collabor
ator of the Stockholm institute at
Geneva.
