Short Letters Speak Volumes. Each letter bears the crystaliza- tion of an individual’s life drama, a precious niece of mosaic from the body of the composite tragedy of a al class: each contains a suppres- sed curse, grim determination and un- mitigated expression of hopeful en- thusiasm for the cause of labor. No long letters, just a few unchosen words stimulated by the idea of soli- darity. Solidarity is the one word that shines forth through the maze of proletarian letters. And indeed it is solidarity in its most valuable form, because in all cases it involves ma- terial sadrifice ,while in many to an extent that it “hurts.” The Poor Contribute. of workers to its appeal | brave ones inj special | Wounded.

C., Nov. 27,—The |Methodist Church South, is having a hard internal battle over a question of finance Versus asceticism. The Western Conference of the church, which is strictly reactionary and fundamentalist, passed a resolu- tion forbidding the use of tobacco to its ministry. The Eastern bishops, represented by E. D. Mouzon, object. They are in favor of anything that takes the joy out of life, but there is money in tobacco, and the Methodists of Carolina as raise it for a living. Also Duke University, itself a funda- mentalist institution, is supported by the donations of the big tobacco kings, the Duke family, of “Duke’s Mixture.” Bishop Mouzon, at the Ashville con- ference recently, stated that the de- cision of the western conference, “should not have too much attention paid to it’ He preferred to center attack on companionate marriage. give | Since that time Atterbury has re- | Mrs. Garvey explained her unwilling- meeting.
