PROPOSED HOTEL BISHOP PRAISES IS TO BE ERECTED CHURCH SCHOOLS Directors Agree Price of He Declares State Institu- iriaieriais ana sites &nail; tions Turn Uut Comnar- be Studied. atively Few Workers. j .Unanimous decision to erect the pro ; posed million dollar hotel for Charlotte ! was reached at a meeting of the board i of directors of the Citizens Hotel com j pany. held in the directors' room . of the American Trust company Wednes day afternoon. All of the directors ex ! cept one were present. I Belief that .conditions soon would be I favorable to proceeding with the build ling plans was expressed by the direc tors. Last year more than 600 Char , lotte citizens took stock in th propo sition, the corporation being named the Citizens Hotel company.- Word H. Wood, president of the company, pre- ; siciea at the meeting of directors. lhe belief was expressed at the meet ing that thousands of dollars had been saved to the subscribers by the action of the directors in postponing the build ing operations from the time they were first considered .last year until the pres- ; ent, due to the fact that the price of building materials has dropped. It wag the opinion of some of those present that building materials would show a still further decline. ' There will be frequent meetings of the bbard from now on and considera tion of plans for beginning the work at an opportune moment. -It is believed that the preliminaries can be disposed of shortlv and the work started some time in the near future. The most concern . is connected with the obtaining of a site. One of the rea sons for delaying the building of the hotel some time ago was that the prices of all sites considered were held as too high. The directors will not pay too high a price for a site at present either, but expect that a site for reasonable sum will be offered, it was declared. Committees of the association have not been idle during the time, since the postponement was decided upon, but have been watching the price of mater ials, considering, sites and otherwise getting ready for building the hotel. The directors are Word H. Wood, president: J. H. Little, vice president; Robert Lassitor, C. C. Coddington, A. J. Draper, J. H. Cutter, J. M. Harry. R A. Mayer, James A. Houston. David Ovens and C. A. Williams. John C. Myers1 is secretary-treasurer of the board. , LABOR LAUNCHES (Continued from Page One.) Bishop IT. V. W- Darlington, in charge of the North and South Caro lina district of; the Methodist Episco pal church, South, addressed a " large audience at Trinity Methodist church in this city.- His subject was "Chris tian Education." " , - r ;' The meeting was held for the pas tors and church boards of the Char lotte district, but a number of others were present. - ;.. Dr. T." F. Marr, former pastor of Hawthorne Lane church, and in charge of the educational work, for the West ern North Carolina conference, was present, and also spoke at the meet ing.', " . Dr. Marr gave a general survey of the religious educational' movement going on in the state, and said it is the biggest thing yet undertaken by the denomination. He said the move ment was taken, in fine spirit all over the district. ' . Bishop Darlington, in his address, said that, unless this counjbry watches itself, it will fall, into the mistake that Germany made that of thinking that might , makes right. He said Germany was really a liberty-loving and peace fur nation, but that in just two gen erations the military, leaders molded the people into the idea that alj other nations must bow to them. ,, One of the greatest needs is the re vival of the old family altar; he as serted, and added that it was astonish ing how few of the church members adhere to. this old communion. Educa tion begins first at home, he declared. The next place for the development of the child -is in school, Bishop . Dar lington said. . ' Only .1 per cent of the -population of j me country goes to college, Bishop Darlington declared, recalling - that. 95 per cent of the Methodist ministers and leading church workers . corao from colleges of the denomination. The state schools .'do not turn out preach ers to any great extent, he pointed out, and tha church schools needs the support of the laymen to supply church leadership. , - The present educational movement was inaugurated, asserted Bishop Dar lington at the conference in 1918. It is the duty of the laymen to get be hind the movement and provide edu cational institutions where their chil dren may be instructed along essential religious lines.

V "Labor realizes fully the conse quences of such a course," it was added, "but, in the .defense of Amer ican freedom and fo American insti tution, it is . compelled to adopt this course, be the consequences what they may." j Employers are warned in the dec laration that labor "not only insists upon maintaining .the present stan dards of wages and working conditions but declares its solemn purpose to continue its struggle to further im prove those standards." The declaration charged "some em ployers" in the United States with supporting "at times in secret" some cf the "insidious propaganda of radical European fanaticism" because of their "common antagonism to the trade union movement. .... "There is an unscrupulousness and a natural -aptitude for ; intrigue s in this fanatical propaganda," the state ment said, "which makes it a most subtle menace to every . democratic ideal and institution in 'our country." Repeal by the states of ' all indus trial-court laws and all .restrictive and coercive laws, including the commonly known . open port law of Texas, was demanded together- with "freedom from decisions of courts holding trade unions and individual members thereof liable in damages for the unlawful acts of others.'' . . I Other recommendations made by the conference in the declaration included: Prohibition of immigration for , a period of. not less than two years. .

Administration of credit as a public trust in the interest of all the people. Investigation by congress of the activities of private detective agencies in the field of industrial relations. The declaration . also called upon the workers to "resist the efforts to de stroy ' the trade unions, whether by the false pretense of the' "open shop," the usurped authority - of courts through writs of injunction, or other wise. "We call for united support in the protection of standards of wages and conditions ' already .gained," the declaration added,' "and we summon the workers to continued efforts tb increase the consuming power, raise the ' standards and - improve - the con 'ditions of life and work." The conference also asked for public support and recognition of:; The right of the working people of the ' United States to organize into ttjeir rights ana interests. ' The right to and practice of col lectively bargaining by trade unions through representatives of ' their own choosing. . The right to work and , to cease work collectively. The declaration, in conclusion, urg ed enactment of ' Fexleral legislation "which shall protect the workers in their organized capacity against the concept that there is a properly right in the labor of human being."

Anticipating "the fact that millions of dollars are to be spent during the coming months in North Carolina for the construction of new school buildings," the bureau of ex tension at the University of North Car olina has published a bulletin on "The Construction of Schoolhouses," with elaborate discissions of many problems that arise in building and with many suggestions as to procedure. The bulletin is the work of Dr. E. A. Williams, of the school of education, as sisted by members of his class in ad ministrative problems at, the 1920 uni versity summer school many of whom have had experience in school work. Dr. Williams gave his , students problems in school building and their reports, ed ited by him, form a large part of the bulletin. 1 Not as a scholarly study but 'rather as a practical aid to school officials in their efforts to give to taxpayers full value for" their schoolbuilding dollars" the bulletin describes definite problems and suggests definite solutions.
