In 1919 the legislature passed the •ode bill and the department of labor ■ame into being on the same level with panking, agriculture, public improve nent, public welfare and finance. The compensation department was •eorganized and put in shape to fun ition for the unfortunate victim of in lustrial accidents. Forty-two thous ind of these victims were taken care if since the reorganization of the abor department under the code law The average compensation per ac ident was increased from $6.10 inl91E o $48.37 in 1922. The compenstion, medical and hos pital eifpense paid to injured workers luring the four years previous to the mactment of the code law was $462, •34.90, and the compensation, medical ind hospital expense paid to injured vorkers in, the three and one-hali /ears since the code law went into ffect was $1,87,5875.52—an increase luring the last three and one-hali /ears over the previous four years of >1,412,940.62. The complaint of labor in Nebraska 'or thirty-two years has been that the vorking men and women received less consideration at the hands of the leg slatures and governors than did the logs and cattle on the farms of the state. Now the department of laboi jets the same square deal under the code law as the departments of agri culture, banking, welfare, public works ind finance. The code law cannot be reipealec without destroying the labor depart ment as it exists today. With the chirty-two years expedience behind us ao sensible workingman or woman ir the state would think of taking i chance on the destroyers of the pres cent labor department doing as well oi setter by that department than thi code law does. „ , All the workers of the state, organ ized and unorganized, men and wo men, have a direct personal and finan ’ial interest in the department of la bor, as it functions today and as i will continue to function under thi code law, regardless of who is at thi bead of it. It would be a calamity to the work ers of the state to go back to condi lions existing previous to the codi law. Is repealed would personally affec Iwo women and four men who admin ister the compensation law and thi labor laws, but the destruction of thi labor department (and that is exactb what the repeal of he code law means' would directly affect the interests o: :>ne thousand injured workers eacl month in the state. Twenty-one thousand working mei and women were the victims of indus trial accidents in Omaha during thi three and one-half years previous ti July 1, 1922. Eliminate the worker: ir.

Do they wan: to go back to the average of $6.10 pei accident paid in 1915, or do they wan: be paid an average of $48.37 pel •ccident as it was the first six month: f ^922 under the code law •ORMER O’NEILL MINISTER IS REFUSED CONFIRMATIOIS The following article appeared ir the World-Herald under date of Sep tember 6th, and refers to Rev. W. W Rust, who was pastor of the Metho dist church at O’Neill, from Septembei 1919 to September 1920: Walter W. Rust of Wolbach, Neb. a young man, seeking to enter th< Methodist ministry, was discontinuec by the Nebraska conference, meetinp at the First Methodist church, be cause he refused to take examina tions, believing the required studies are too liberal to be in accord wit! church discipline. He had been or probation three years. At the same time the Rev. J. D Buckner of Aurora, an aged minister for forty years in the service of th( church, today was recommended foi retirement by the cabinet, composer of the presiding bishop and the dis trict superintendents, because he be lieved and preached that church doc trines were far too narrow for t thinking Christian. These incidents, taking place with in the space of an hour, created a de cided ripple in the conference proceed ings. When Bishop Homer C. Stuntz was instructing four candidates for ad mission to the ministry on their duties before extending the right hand of fel lowship, he asked: “Do you believe in the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal church?” The candidates answered in the affirmative. “If you come to that place in your pastorates where you do not believe in these doctrines you will resign, won’t you, You won’t stay in the Methodist church, eat its bread and preach the doctrines of another, will you ? ’ Following satisfactory answers on the part of the preachers, the con gregationogave vent to vigorous ap plause. It developed Friday when Dr. J. W. Kirkpatrick, district superintendent of the Omaha district, reported for the cabinet advising retirement for the Rev. Mr. Buckner, that ■ net had called Mr. Buckner before it last night and questioned him closely on his utterances and his attitude. The Aurora minister in his sermon to his congregation before leaving for the conference had voiced sentiments that he was a “progressive” not a “standpat” Christian and that he did not accept the bible throughout as in spired and that the God of the old testament shown in many respects cruel, was not the God he worshiped. It is said that he adhered to these beliefs before the church officials but insisted that he was not seeking to disrupt the church thereby. The church law has a provision for retirement as a matter of discipline for a year on probation giving the "TT,.,-. -- •. — ■ i—.. J,■*—i., j nitnist^t an opportunity to change his ; views. Waller W. Rust, 34 years old, who ! \ been preaching at Wolbach, Neb., v bile studying for cv ination into the Methodist church, was prevented by I Bi-b op Sluntz front reading his de ! tense yesterday. . t.sr Siti n of his case resulted fol ic in'; •- i port, of the committee on icoer.-e ot tudy, which advised his dis co,it*m;..iivc, to which the conference agreed. Rust had for a time been in the mis sion field in the Philippines in the Y. M. C. A. He was stationed at Valen tine, Neb.,four months. He refused to study books specified after three years on probation because he alleged they stewed away from historic Christianity, in which he be lieved, as did many others, he said, among them W. J. Bryan. Because he would not complete these studies, his career in the Methodist church was stopped, he said. Rust in his prepared defense, says he withdrew from qualification be cause “my heart shrinks* from receiv ing the stamp of approval of any study or of any ecclesiastical orders that involve in any sense a comprom ise of scriptural faith in God.” Rust declares there are evidences that “Darwinism, New Rheology, Heiddelburgism or whatever name fits best, the same poisonous presence that blighted the spiritual life of Ger^ many is making its appearance in our own church schools.” The discipline specifies, Rust says, study of those books only “in full ac cord with the doctrines and that out line of faith established in the con stitution of the church shall be pre scribed in the course of study.” Rust declares that “New Testament History,” by Prof. Harris Franklin Rail, one of the first to be studied, is “dangerous and unsafe,” and challen ges the constitutional right of the church body to require credits of stu dent preachers in books that will not meet the doctrinal tests. He says he ajtpeals to the general conference be cause the books “discount justifica tion by faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ on Calvary and the virgin birth of our Lord.” NOTICE.
