There and then the foundation for our
federation of trades and labor unions was
laid. lTpon that foundation a atructure
has been reared perhaps far beyond the
vision of it builder. Soon after the es
tablishment of our federation, and after It
Iurpoee came to be understood, the toll
ers begun to realise hot only that It was
eminently practicable but also that It had
within Its possibilities the elements to In
plr hope ana courage for the achieve
ment of labora highest aspiration. By
the year of devoted work of lta adherent,
and through It attainments the federa
tion ha earned the respect and the con

ajralnFt the proportionately small number
of CatliOUca holding federal and state of
fices In this country nnd the fnllur of the
stnte to pay for recular education In
Catholic schools, denunciation of question
able plays and the 'immoral and pernic
ious motion picture shows." and an earn
est entreaty to Catholics to combat so
cialism, fenttired the annual report of
President Edward Foenoy, of Brooklyn, N.
T.. at today's sessslon of the ninth annual
convention of the American Fedora tlon f
Catholic Societies. -
"The federation has no candidate for
puhllc place." he snld. "but It aeetna that
In proportion to the number of Cptholhs
under the flag here and In our Insular
possessions we have by no mean a suf
ficient representation In the public service.
Further, those selected by our government
for responsible public positions should be
real and not nominal Catholics."
"An Indignant Catholic protest that
devotee of th so-called 'advanced
school' In the last few years have de
luged the United State with a question
able drama, which scoff t marrlnge,
and as a result t hla element of social
purity ha become the target for the
shafts of tha voluptuary, a fertile source
of ribald Just to the vu'.gar humorist nnd
a never falling mine of Indelicate In
uendo to th dramatist The play ha
been supplemented by the Immoral and
pernicious motion picture show, which de
bauches young children."
Feeney urge the suppression by the
civil authorities of the objectionable
films displayed in picture show.
"Extravagance, he said, " rule among
many of our poople, and", sad to relate, ln
proportion as some of them prosper their
love of gold inrrnasea. The fight for mo
rality goes on today a it did 100 years
ago. -
"We pray that the Hntoua living and
irreligious action of soma of our people
may not endanger tho life or the repub
lic. W believe that without religion the
lost enlightened government of today
would drift Into the decay and chaos that
overwhelmed Greece nnd Rome."
He . commended the effuru of the Indi
vidual and Social Justice league to combat
socialism. The league's purpose, he. snid,
was to make clear the principle at Issue
between American thought and life and the
economlo and political revolution proposed
by socialism, "to uphold the American deal
of home, the Integrity of the family, th
love of country and to maintain the ever
lasting reality of religion as the founda
tion of our civilisation."
The president paid hla respect to Myor
Nathan of Rome for his attacks upon the
pope and the Catholic church and urged
the federation to add It proteat "agalnxt
the Insults hipped upon the sovereign
pontiff by the Jakals who find the lion of
the fold hemmed within the walls of the
Vatican."
He gave a parting ehot to the "currl-
lou" newspaper writer and the "muck
raker" of the magaxlnes, and said In this
day of universal reading the faith of toe
Catholic must be vigilant In controverting
the mlarepreaentatlon In print of the Catho
lic religion and the defamation of Its mem
