HARDING TO THE RESCUE.
President Harding, in his address to
Congress, announced the only course
left to him to take. He could not do
otherwise than promise to use the
power of the federal government to
prevent the breakdown of railroad
transportation. If this course is an
advantage to the railroads and a det
riment to the shop crafts, that is
merely incidental. The time has pass
ed when the merits of the controversy
between the roads and their men can
be allowed to dominate. The essential
thing now is that the calamity of in
terrupted transportation shall not be
visited upon the people of America.
In time of peace the law recognizes
the rights of the individyal as para
mount. In times of war these rights
must be subordinated to the nation.
So it is when the country is facing the
disastrous consequences of a railroad
tie-up When the strike was young
and public welfare little affected there
was time to discuss whether the rail
roads or the unions were right. Now
the time has come when the right of
both must be subordinated. The only
question to be discussed now is how
may the threatened disaster be avert
ed. The President has tried to lead
the warrinfe sides into an agreement
which should be satisfactory to both,
but he failed. lie now seems to have
'put the controversy behind him and
to bo bending his efforts to protecting
the public from disaster.
In doing this he has chosen the only
course open to him.—Norfolk (Nebr.)

DEPARTMENT OF LAROR,
3y F'rmik A. Kennedy, Secretary ol
of Labor.
From 1887 to 1919, a period oi
hirty-two years, every ..an whc
lerved as labor commissi .nor of Ne
braska, begged the vari . legisla
urCB and governors tr in .: an ap
propriation in keeping the im
portance of the labor bureau, b.ut not
n a single instance did a legislature
>r governor lend a willing ear to their
prayers.
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. Omaha who are excluded from thi
provisions of the compensation law
and it would mean that approximately
me out of every four or five worker:
ire injured each year. 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.”
