Neighbors of Woodcraft to Meet
Executive Secretaries Convene in
Annual Conference; Censorship
of Motion Pictures Considered
July 11 for Session of Ten
Days; Entertainment Planned.
ANNUAL
SESSION
RAM
During the -month of June the
executive secretaries of church fed
e rations throughout America met in
New York city for their annual con
ference. The executive of the Port
land federation, Ralph C. McAfee,
represented the Portland churches.
That the movement is growing rapidly
was indicated by the fact that more
secretaries attended this conference than
any previous one. Fifty men through
out America are now giving their time
as executive secretaries, either of large
city federations or as secretaries of
state federations.
By common consent one of the most
vital topics considered in this confer
ence waa that of religions education.
Dr. George H. Young of Philadelphia,
general secretary of religious educa
tion, for the Northern Baptist conven
tion, reported that the day is fast ap
proaching when all the churches in
America will recognise that there are
three phases of religious educational
work, combined in what will be known
as the church school. Sunday school.
week day schools of religious education
and daily vacation Bible schools.
HO RELIGIOUS IX1LCESCE
Seventy-five cities in America no
have week day religions instruction.
"From these cities it is reported that
between 25 and 35 per cent Of the chil
dren attending these week day schools
of religious instruction come n r"T)
homes which are affiliated with no
church and in which there is practically
no religious influence.
The judgment of these cities where
week day religious instruction is now
being offered seems to-be quite unani
mous that it is most desirable that
children shall be excused, upon request
of their parents, from school duties a
minimum of one hour a week to attend
week day schools of religion.
That the church has large responsi
' bill ty in ' developing good will between
labor and capital was emphasized by
Dr. Henry Sloan Coffin, pastor of the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian church of
New York. Dr. Coffin was mentioned
prominently as a possible president for
Tale university. - In speaking of the re
lation of the church to the social and
industrial situation, Dr. Coffin stated
it is the duty of the church to sympa
thise with the current discontent with
conditions as they are. He believes
that the cause of foreign missions may
be expected tp slow down in its advance
in foreign lands until America has
solved her industrial problems at home.
This conviction is based upon the dis
cussions arising in colleges and semin
aries wherever students from non-Chris-tion
lands are gathers in class rooms.
MUST FIW0 SO LTJTIOH
The. church. Dr. Coffin said, must
either stop her propaganda or find some
adequate solution. He does not see
how the church can be satisfied with the
world as it ia m ,
"It is the duty of the church to sug
gest an explicit and Immediate method
of applying the spirit of Jesus to the
industrial situation," Dr. Coffin said.
' The day 1- upon us when producers
and consumers, when owners and in
vestors, when employers and employes
alike must ask of themselves the ques
tion : "What shall we do in the industrial
situation? The secretaries of church
federations throughout the country are
of one mind that the church owes a
large responsibility to society in reach
ing an adequate solution of all the
problems which face us, whether they be
problems of religious education of our
youth or problems in the field of indus
try, or in the field of amusement or
entertainment. All of the churches de
sire above all else a more happy and
a more prosperous and a more abundant
lire for ail men and women and chil-
oren.
CEN'SOBSHIP DISCUSSED
McAfee spent an hour In the office of
the national board of review of motion
pictures in conference with C. W. Mo
Outre, secretary of the board. McGuire
stated that in the Judgment of the na
" tional hoard of review the motion, nie-
.ture industry is sincerely endeavoring
to put into effect the famous 14 points
published by President Laskv of the,
Famous Players-Lasky corporation last
jaarcn. it is the belief of the national
board of review that all cities ought to
maintain censor boards to view all pic
tures wnicn are snown tn their theatres.
ine national board passes upon all
pictures produced and stands ready to
cooperate with municipalities bv sending
out bulletins offering recommendations
as to eliminations which ought to be

leave to the several communities final
decision. McGuire said that th national

CHURCH LOSING
HOLD ON SWEDEN
DECLARES PASTOR
Rev. T. J. Sjolander Gives Im
pressions of Native Country
After Nine Months' Visit There
The Rer. T. J. Sjolander. pastor of the
First Swedish Baptist church of Portland, has
just returned from a nine months' visit to
oweden. where be preached m the same tern
tory where bis father and grandfather preached
yesrs aco. 1 he Sjolander family has been preach
inc the eospel in that territory for 80 years, A
brief account of conditions in Sweden as the
minister found them, follows:
By the Rev. T. J. Sjolander
Sweden of today is a great deal
different from the Sweden that lives
n the memories of Swedes in Amer
ica and the country as we left it
years ago.
x aimost ieu as u i naa come to a
strange country when I first arrived
there, although it is not more than 19
years since I first left Sweden as
young man.
Many changes have taken place in all
lines of activity and endeavors, and I
marked progress has been made in ma
teriai prosperity, social advancement
ana intellectual enlightenment.
a wave of prosperity has rolled
through the Scandinavian countries.
wnicn oegan during the war and con
unued Immediately after until about
last iaii, w hen a reaction took place.
MAM IDLE
At tne present time there is a great
depression. The sawmills are almost
ail idle and other industries are reducing
their production, and many thousands
; are out or work.
ine comparative high monev value
seems to be a detriment to the industries
ana tne exports of Sweden. German
competition is being felt very keenly
and because of their low money value
they are able to manufacture and export
the different commodities at a surpris
ingly low cost. I heard of a shipping
company which in order to avoid bank
ruptcy was compelled to sell nominally
all its ships to German interests, to be
manned by German crews until times
had adjusted so that it again can do
business in a normal way.
MAKES GREAT STRIDES
Sweden has made great strides to
wards democracy, and the common peo
ple rather than a privileged class can
now be said to be leading the destinies
of the nation.
There .was for some time a danger of
the Bolsheviki getting Into power, but
the confessed failure of their leadership
in Russia has had a sobering and re-
' ' " lllk Hi aSar
' '
straining effect on
the minds of the
people
The prohibition question is now
prominent and a great awakening for
that cause is felt in the different de
nominations as well as in the temperance
societies.
DELIVERS LECXrRE
The leader of the Christian forces
is a minister who has before been active
in temperance work in America, the
Rev. David Ostlund, who was sent by
the Minnesota Anti-Saloon league about
two years ago to Sweden. He has been
successful in organising the Swedish
Anti-Saloon league.
It was my privilege to travel and lec
ture on the subject "The Fight for
Prohibition in America: Should We
Follow the Example in Sweden?"
I found that the message made a
most profound impression on the people.
The Swedish ricksdag or parliament has
recently voted favorably on a constitu
tional amendment which grants the peo
ple a referendum on the question by a
popular vote some time in the fall of
1922.
The Swedish people have taken a keen
interest in welfare work among the
suffering people in Europe. Many
thousands of the poor underfed children
have after the war spent their summers
in Swedish homes, where thye have been
fed and clothed and restored to health
and happiness.
NATION GOKE FORWARD
I am glad that the Swedish nation has
gone forward and has become to a
certain extent a leading factor in the
old world, but I also appreciate more
than ever to belong- to this great Amer
ican nation, which is truly an example
and an inspiration to the other countries
of the world.
The church does not seem to have
the bold on the people like it used to.
The lack of sympathy for the working
class and their fight for better condi
tions has greatly reduced the influence
of the church. The state church
(Lutheran church) is still nominally the
official church, but it has lost its hold
to a large extent upon the people in
general.
BAPTISTS ACTIVE
Many different influences are now at
work to better conditions. I found one
aew Catholic movement, and a rational
istic tendency that is trying- to eliminate
the supernatural and miraculous ele
ment in the Bible, and they seem to
think that the big- Job now for the
church is chiefly to make itself felt
in the social betterment of the country.
The Swedish Lutheran archbishop is
a very far-seeing and eloquent man, and
he is trying his best to reform the old i
church. The Baptists have prospered
greatly and religious tolerance and lib
erty of conscience is now respected.
The Baptists have started big meet
ings in Stockholm, where the gnat re
ligious and social problems are discussed
by the leading men in the denomination
and many of the leaders of the working
people.

TRAFFIC POLICE
GET OVER 700 IN
WEEK 1UST PAST
Largest Haul Made at Third and
Ankeny Streets on Friday Aft
ernoon; Curiosity Causes Fall.
Stampeding bank depositors, gold
miners -rushing to the Yukon, or
hungry doughboys answering mess
call all look like a Sunday school
picnic compared to an impromptu
reception held at Bast Third and An
keny streets Friday afternoon by
Motor Patrolmen Babcock and Taus-
cher.
Uninvited guests horned in with such
rapidity that the two genial hosts were
kept busy all afternoon exerting them
selves in order that no one be neglected.
The party began with a splutter when
the "speed mosquitos" wheeled up to the
curb and arrested two automobile driv
ers for cutting corners. While the well
known preliminaries were being con
ducted, a gallery of pedestrians gathered
to give the scene a festive air.
GUESTS POCK nr
Pedestrians always seem to enjoy the
spicy dialogue between an arrested au
tomobile driver and the light hearted Joy
killers of the highway. By the time the
patrolmen bad gotten their cue for the
well known "tell it to the judge," more
guests had arrived and were seeking at
tention. Babcock and Taucher were soon
as busy receiving as debutantes at a
coming out party.
Interest increased rapidly and the
crowd grew. The gallery applauded.
Wit and sarcasm were received with un
restrained enthusiasm.
Automobile drivers on side streets,
who were bound in other directions, were
overcome with curiosity. Business, din
ner, golf, appointments, could all wait
Here was somebody in trouble perhaps
a bad accident. Away they rushed, to
see who was caught. They found out
Immediately. For all afternoon, every
curious automobile driver who sped up
to the crowd at Bast Third and Ankesy
managed to cut a corner and get himself
arrested. Just to make the party merrier.
In a very short time SO drivers had been
arrested. Adventurous spectators began
to lay bets on the make of the next au
tomobile to Join the stampede.
ADMISSION FEB ON LT tS
In court Saturday morning the guests
of Babcock and Tauscher trooped up be
fore Municipal Judge Rossman.
The court wearily inspected the mob,
"How many of you plead guilty?"
Nearly every hand was raised.
"Well file Into the clerk's office and
deposit $3 each. Curiosity is an expen
sive luxury."
In the last week the speed squad un
der Frank Ervin has made over 700 ar
rests for traffic violations. A majority
of the cases brought convictions in the
municipal court. Ervin and bis men in
tend to continue arresting all traffic vio
lators. Fair weather has opened the
highways to automobile drivers, and the
accident season la under way. Several
recent accidents have stirred the traffic
department to action.

Car Movement in
Portland Yards Is
Best in Four Years
Car movement in the Portland term
inal yards is being carried on more effi
ciently and more economically than at
any time during the last four years. In
cluding the period of government opera
tion of the rail lines, according to B. El
Palmer, manager of the North Pacific
Terminal company.
Palmer says that the terminal com
pany was handling from 6V to seven
cars per hour at a cost of $1.42 per car
during federal control, while at the
present time the terminal is handling
9 cars per hour at a cost of 91-04 per
ear. Palmer says that this was mainly
due to the fact that during Federal con
trol there was no unification of termi
nals at Portland, as each road handled
its own business
In support of his claim. Palmer has
