The present misery, the Pontlfl mid. "strikes more cruelly the less strong, though the more strongly loved, the children, the humble, the less moneyed, the workers and the proletariat."

The stricken people of the world ask only the privilege of earning their bread, the Pope continued, but many of them are Ilneble to do so "in these days of hatred and oi implacable war."

Q Most serious of all, however, is this steady aggravation of the plague oi unemployment to which we have made reference. Th3 want oi so many families and oi their children, if not provided for, threat- ens to push them (which may God avert) to the point oi exasperation.

"Our fatherly heart has thought with trepidation on all of this, and as our predecessors have done on similar 0CCBSIOl1o—-l!l particular our immediate predecessor, Benedict XV of holy memory-we raise our voice and address our appeal to all who possess a sense of faith and oi christian love; an appeal for what may also be termed a crus- ade oi charity and relief.

srmrrusr. anlvsrrrs

“Such a crusade, while it will provide assistance to the body, will

268,000 bushels for an urlnamecLalso give comfort and aid to the Farnwortlflsoul, creating again a serene con-

fidence; dlsencumberlng the mind oi those ugly thoughts which mis- ery implants in the bosoms oi man.

"It will quench the flames of ranccr and of the IYlSSIOIlS which

sustain the fires oi love and con- cord and the strong and noble bonds of individual and social pence and prosperity.

"It is therefore to a crusade of mercy and love, and unquestion- ably oi sacrifice es well, that we call all sons of the one father. members ‘of the one and some great family, God's family, and hence all participants, as children in the same family, of the joy and prosperity and of the sorrow and adversity to which our broth- ers fall lot. ,

"To this crusade we call all as to a sacred duty, a. duty rooted in that commandment so disltnctly peculiar to the evangelical law and proclaimed by Jesus Christ as his first and greatest commandment, indeed a. compendium and synthes- is of all the others, the command- ment of charity.

"lt was this commandment to which our predecessors of happy memory appealed repeatedly with like purpose in the days of hatreds and bitter war.

"We invoke this most beautiful of commandments now, not merely as the supreme and all embracing duty accordlng to Christian law but rather as the high and sub- lime ideal of all souls which are generous spirited and more finely keyed to nobleness and to christ- ian perfection.

"We do not feel it necessary to insist on this with many words for it seems so evident that this 8°“- erosity of heart alone, this fervor alone oi christian souls with their holy impetus towards dedication and sacrifice for the salvation of their brethren, notably fol- those most needy and those exciting most compassion as do the throngs of innocent children. will succeed in overcoming by force of unanimous concord the grave difficulties of the present hour.

“And since the unbridled race for armamentsis on the one hand the effect of the rivalry among nat- ions and on the other the cause of the withdrawal of enormous sums from the public wealth and hence not the smallest of contributors to the current extraordinary "I515. We cannot refrain from renewing on this subject the wise udmonitions of our predecessor which thus far have not been hoard.

"We exhort you all, venerable brethren, that with all the means at your disposal, both by preach- ing and by the press, you seek to lllumlne minds and open hearts on this matter according to the solid dictates of right, reason and oi the christian law.

"The thought occurs to us to pro- pose that each of you act. as the point of union for the charity and gengrmlty of your faithful and the centre of distribution for the relief offered by them. '

"Since, however, humen [one without Divine aid will never suf- fl“ lb saln our purpose, let us lift ‘m 111811 fervent prayers to the giver of every sift that in his in- fimte mercy he may shorten this period oi tribulation.

“We counsel all to recall for their enwllresement and comfort that the Divine Redeemer will count as done unto himself whatever we may do for his poor (Matt. xxv, 40,)‘ and that, according to ether of his wn-‘mllng words, whosoever shall re- ceive little ones in his name has as much as received him (Matt.

A great deal of the ground floor is taken up with equipment, but on the Queen Street side ‘is located what in a few weeks time will be the Business Office. Just as soon as this office is completed, all bus- iness transactions will be complet- ed there. For the time being, however, probably for the next week or so, the business office will remain in the old office at Lower Queen street.

UP T0 DATE EQUIPMENT

The equipment is a new local and toll switchboard oi’ the ‘latest and most improved common battery type. taking the place of the old switchboard, the first section of which was installed during the Man agcrship of W. A. Winfield, and \\'l-f‘Il has served Telephone users of Charlottetown well end faith- Zully fol- the past two decades. The new switchboard is of a type that combines ease of operation and flcxiblity of service to a degree that assures the people of Charlottetown service of the highest quality and the spcsdicst nature.

The local section of the switch- board ls equipped for sixteen hun- dred subscribers lines. which lines will be attended by nine operators, who cul each handle connections to provide n maximum of seventeen simultaneous conversations. The toll switchboard is oi the same type as the one recently installed at Halifax. These two swltcllboards are the most up-to-date manufac- turod, and arc the only two of their kind in Eastern Canadi. The toll work is handled by a staff of eight operators, equipment being provid- ed for forty toll lines, which are arranged fer operation in nssociat ion with toll line repeaters, two oi which will be installed almost im- mediately. These‘. repeaters, with- out lvhith which extreme long dis- tame Telephone conversations are difficult, "re dwgned to amplify the voice curmllt. to a sufficient extent to enable the. Telephone us- ers located in Charlottetown, or in any part of the island, to be heard anywhere on this Continent with case and satisfaction.

ESTEVAN, Sask, Oct. 4.—AppIIc- stlon for the appointment 0i coun- sel w represent them at the inquiry ‘into mine conditions (in the south east Saskatchewan coal fields was made yesterday by a committee of striking miners. The application was made to Judge E. W. R. Wylie, Royal Commissioner who now has it under consideration.

Inetlect the application means the miners want the Government to pay the fees of counsel acceptable to them. The move is regarded as an additional indication that the worst phases of the mine disputes are over. Yesterday W. J. Perkins, counsel for the commission visited the strikers, lining up evidence of their grievances to place before the commission. A number of strikers have flkrced to give evldeagrs.

Difficulties in the way of bringing the two conflicting factions together to end the dispute continue. Last 1118M the union executive expressed willingness to meet the mine Oper- ators but stipulated the meeting should take place in Blenfait, the II-Yser of the two mining hamlets. Operators, it is understood, are un- willing to meet the strikers there and prefer to hold the conference in Estevan.

American Federation Of Labor In Convention

(By William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor; Written for the Associated Pup- Copyrighted 1931 by the Associated l Press) I

VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. ll-The convention oi the American Feder- ation of Labor now meeting in Vancouver is both significant and of real importance. Deep signifi- cance is attached to the fact that this convention is being held dur- ing the year when American labor is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the organization and‘ establish- ment of the American Federation of Labor.

The experience and achievement of the organized labor movement of the American continent during the past 50 years are set forth in chronological order in the report submitted to the convention by the executive council. An appruisement of its experience, progress and re- sults dcmonstrates conclusively the soundness of its policies and the virtue of its prlnciples- Special at- tention and special consideration will be given by the officers and delegates In attendance at the con- vention.

There is great significance at- tached to the fact that the Ameri- can labor movement which was re- garded as an extreme, ii not a re- volutionary force during its for- mative period, is now accepted as a constructive practical movement. The importance of the convention is reflected in the fact that it is meeting at a time when millions of people residing in the United States and Canada are suffering very severely from long continued unemployment. The faith of the masses of the people in capitalism is bclng rudely shaken, and for that reason they are looking to the American Federation of Labor for constructive advice and for the presentation of practical remedies for the solution of unemployment. Facing as they are the third winter of unemployment, working people are beginning t0 amcrt their de- mancla for the exercise of a new right. 'l.‘hey are beginning to be- lieve the right to work is as sacred as thc right to own property and to enjoy the income from financial inl cstments.

The convention of the American Federation of Labor will emphasize the necessity of applying two prac- tical remedies in the existing unem- ployment situation:

First-Relief must be afforded to those who are in diré distress. Men. women and children must be fed, clothed and sheltered. Hunger and intense suffering must not exist in a land of plenty. The wealth of the nation must respond to the needs of the occasion. Food and shelter must be supplied not in a mere limited way but in sufficient quantities to meet the maximum requirements in order to supply

Di“

who are suffering from uucnlploy- mcnt.

SecomL-Sperial efforts must_b0 put forth to find employment for all who are willing and able to work. The American Federation of Labor attaches great importance to this suggested remedy for unem- ployment. The convention will de- mand that special attention must be given to the creation of work opportunities, to an equitable m5‘ trlbution of all work available. We shall continue to press our demand in a, most vigorous and uncom- promislng way for the adjustment of the working time through the inauguration of the five-day WWI‘ and the shorter work clay so that work opportunities may be broad- ened and increased, and through such a process unemployment r0- duced to a minimum.
