OVER PRZEMYSL
OPPOSE ABOLITION
OF CENSORSHIP
Holy Nnme Societies Defend
Breitinger and Declare
Against Movie Men's Plea.
The fight of moving plctuio exhibitors
against J. Louis Breitinger, State Cen
sor, took a new angle today with the
entry of th0 Diocesan Fnlon of Holy
Name Societies In Philadelphia, which
adopted resolutions against repealing or
altering tho censorship laws. Movement
to repeal It or, as a, compromise, to force
J. Louis Breitinger out of his place as
chief censor, has been begun by the mov
ing picture mon.
Tim stand of the Diocesan Union was
Inrtuenrcd bv the nttltuae of trie Cathollo
organization toward censorship, It was
explained, when the onsor law was up
held bv resolution. This has been con
sistently In favor of restrictive laws for
moving pictures. Tho Diocesan Union
brought Its influence to bear In favor ot
the passage of the original censoring act.
It was said.
Nearly 300 delegates from Holy Xamo
societies In Philadelphia were present at
tho annual meeting of tho union jester
day when the censorship, law was upheld.
It was Indorsed by Bishop John J. Mc
Cort, State Senator Farley and a number
of other speakers. The meeting was at
Annunciation Church Hall. 10th and
Dickinson streets.
When several speakers had urged a
htand on tho sldo of the censorship law.
the union adopted a resolution authoriz
ing tho officers to take any action deemed
necessary to tight tho effort to repeal the
law.
Tho film men's efforts to repeal the
present law will he combated bv peti
tions, public meetings and a great dem
onstration in favor of censorship by
Catholic societies In Chester. Montgom
ery, Bucks, Dclawnre and Philadelphia
Counties, it was announced".
"This society was active in bringing
about the passing of the present censor
ship law," said Bishop McCort, "and If
any nttempt Is made to annul this law
we must enter the battle again and stand
ready to hack up the censorship The
minds of our children would be open
once more to debauchery and demoraliza
tion This must not be."
.lohn J. Guerln, newly elected custodian
of tho union, was another who spoke
against repealing the censorship. He de
fended J. Louis Breitinger, tho censor.
"We believe, that Mr. Breitinger Is do
ing his duty well." Mr. Guerln said.
"The only defense the moving picture
people have for their action Is that all
the pictures are not being censored. We
stand for nn addition to Mr Breltlnger's
Btaff. We do not believe he has been
abusing his power, as tho exhibitors say.
"With the censorship remoicd, tho
movlo people, I believe, will try to make
up for lost time. They can appeal to a
lower class of people If they are given
their own way, It's simply an effort to
make mora money at the expense of pub
lic) morals.
Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown
Is In Philadelphia today to discuss the
protests of the moving picture men.
