FOB LAW Hi OBOER IN THIEF CITY BISHOP GUERRY MADE A PRESENTATION OF CASE IS NON POLITICAL But Will .UM Its ' Influence to Stamp .Out Corruption In Politics (Tuesday's Daily.) Itt. Rev. Waiter A. Querry, bishop of thc Protestant Episcopal church, dlo cene of South Carolina, was the guest of honor last evening at the Church man's club of Grace Episcopal church, Anderson, and delivered a talk to tho | members of "The Work br the Law and Order League" of Charleston. | The meeting was held at the beauti- ' ful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Godfrey, I 12 i Webb street, and tbe splendid bos. pltallty shown to the guests by that household made the evening pass , quickly. Music and refreshments were features that^were highly < ".joyed by all present. Porter A. Wlialey, wan ' chairman of the meeting. . The bishop was formally presented to the club ny Rector J. H. Glboney, of Grace church, or rather tbe club was presented to the bishop, the visiting prelate already having recognised most of the members and called them by their ...first names.' Bishop Guerry enid that he. had made no special prep aration tb deliver a formal address on the subject, but would just talk in a general way on the work of the Char 1 Ibston organization as he had observed it. Nonpolitical Organisation. "I dm going to talk," said the blab-' op, "abouc uoarieston, nut l am not going to condemn-Charleston, because 1 never had any use for a man who went about criticising the town where he lives himself. 'I may criticize some ; Illings about the city, but if I do ? shall make the criticism to a Charles ton audience and it will be for the benefit of the city, as I seeJt. "I may state that the law and order league of Charleston is not political, put is an organization of the church people mostly so that they may the better work out the civic betterment program for their city-a city, histori cally great and whose very flagstones have been -baptised with the blood of her patriots time and again. Her past ls so great thai we are confident that ' site will rise Phoenix like from lt to a matchless grandeur that will make her the pride of the South, of the state .".nd of the nation." " The bishop told -about some'of the obstacles met tn getting the organiza tion to work and bow some Of the're buffs to the workers, came from unex pected sources. -"But we feel that wo are workllig along the rlghf lines and that we shall win our battles for the right though it may take time. I said that the. Law and Order League was. not political, but I may as well add ' ihut its members'win take a "nona nt thc polls in Charleston when thc time ?.oines and try to elect the cleanest i .man or men to govern the Citizens j ui Charleston." ~ . Speaking again of the obstacles, or rather reverting to that subject the bishop said that many high Class citi zens quibbled over signing the card of membership, which read that the sign er would endeavor to be honest and to make his neighbor honest. He said tho interlocking of interests of those "higher up"" with those on a lower ?tral? was startling io most people, lt reminded him, he said, of what a no table magazine writer had said about the evil conditions of a certain strata, of society being governed by those htgher up. / ' "Tho work' In Charleston, however tn Coming on, and we are hot pr^ne to complain BO far. - I have been told by many of the best people Of the city that .'the-'program foi ebrio rlghtcohs ?esa, will ultimately, winl?hd t feel, thut they arb predicting correctly." -:-1 A counterfeit dollar bill found In St. Louis bears u picture of Chomp Clark.

'. -The occasion was a Joint debate be tween Furman university and Woffoid college, the subject being one of the ' livest that could have been selected, except perhaps that of primary reform lu South Carolina. It was "Resolved. That the Labor Unions of the United StateB are justified in demanding Closed Shops. The anirmatlve, represented by Fur tnan, -.von by the unanimous decision of thi judges. The speakers were: Furman, W. F. Cox, Jr., and J. H. Simpson; Wo fiord P. D. Huff und U A. Moyer. Prof, C. M..Faith ful presided over the" exercises which were opened with prayer by Mr. R. S. Llgon.

Liberal applause Was accorded eacli speaker,', and especially marked wes that given Mr. Cox, who is au Ander son boy, 'he son of Judge W..F. Cox. 4. H. Simpse1*. The first speaker on'tho affirmative was J, H. Simpson. Hp.hpjnn by de-j ploting conditions which existed be-. fore .'the organization ?of labor unions and showed wherein their organization j had improved the condition of the la boring man, and that modern indus trial conditions made the labor organ z at ions essential. Their claims, he contended, are just and reasonable, and though they have short coming-! they should not bc condemned there-, for. As educators tli? labor unions! are worth much to thc greet'number of foreign laborers who came tb America ?very year. I There is a constant warfare between labor and capital, and employers fav no nunton labor in their endeavor : to destroy the union. Better., candi- j tiona are had through collective sell ing of labor through the union-the non-union labore'? having no freedom of contract. J ; ~.\ P. D. Hnff. The first negative speaker was P. D. i Huff, of Wofford college. He conceded that men had the rt gin to do those| things best for themselves, and they could even join the unions if tbey wished. But the fact remains that only 15 per cent of the laboring men pf the country belong to the union*.1 which from ? fraternal point of view are all right, Kit all wrong from a militant point of view. As a militant.force, they are respon sible for tho conflicts between capital and labor. "Labor unions." said the tho speaker, "have walking delegates who go round with a double barreled 1 weapon, one barrel being labeled . boy cott', the other 'strike' " Mr. Huff made a very logical speech which was well. received. yr. F. cox, jr. W. F. Cox.. Jr., was the next speak er ?for the affirmative. He stated that i?l? matter was resolved Into threo fluestions: J. Are the demands cf the closed shop just and reasonable? 2> Can the open shop satisfy these de-j liiinda? 3.Can the closed, shop meet these demands? He contended with telling force that the demanda of the labor unions are Just and' reason able and', that - the closed shop and ?nob the, open shop ' din meet them. Labor, lie argued is In compe tition with capital, which may bo di vided lato, two classes competitive and ndnicompetlttve egpltal. .Competitive capital is fighting tho labor unions using tuohey, biased pub. licationa and imported foreign . labor. True .freedom of contract exists only when^combined labor ls pitted against capital. Mc Cox ably maintained ihat' the closed shop benefits alike the em ployer, the employee and the public. The ompioyer gets mor? skilled labor, the employee higher Wages and niora m?n cmploored, and tho public a better grade of products: \iW'rY*x.-"!?? *uJ)te '-"?-ly applaud ed, and was presented with a beautiful bunch of flowers . from the audience, JPfe?fa ? .force' speaker and held' the attention of . the audience from' start to finish. .

Mr. Moyer at once waded into his argument contending that the improvement bf labor conditions Was hot due to the *ork of the anteas but to tbs advancement of the times.
