CHRISTIANITY AND LABOR.
The Rev. E. S. Forbes Solu-
ton of the Industrial
Problem.

The Rev. Z. S. Forbes in ST. Johns p.
E. Church, Summit avenue, last night,
delivered an interesting lecture on Chris
tianity and the Labor War He traced
the history of the changed conditions
which have rendered large combinations
of capital and combinations of labor
necessary, dwelt on the relations between
employer and employed in these days of
large corporations and. continuing, went
into the history of labor organizations.
He reviewed briefly the great strikes, of
the last twenty-five years and quoted
Carroll d. Wright, United States Com
missioner of Labor, who estimates that
in thirteen and one half years the strikes
and lockouts in the United States have
cost $500, GOO, 600, The object of the best
labor unions, he declared, were moral and
educational as well as, when, necessary,
for the waging of Industrial war. At any
rate they bring strong pressure to bear
in favor of temperate and even a-bstem-
ious habits.
The Christian position on the question,
Mr.. Forbes said, was that both parties IN
the case stand on an even footing, and
equally interested in the right and. profit
able conduct of the business, arid eacn
bound to treat the other with perfect
fairness and good will. When Jesus Christ
was acknowledged to be Lord of the bust
ness and commercial world, Mr.. Forbes
said, then industrial wars wouli cease.
This. he claimed, could be accomplished.
and he related some incidents to show
how it could be lone. . He told how once
the Newport, News, Hampton and Old
Point Railway, and electric road, found it.
self with a surplus of $24,G 0 and the Off
GERS of the road determined to distribute
th~ree-fourths of it among the employees,
ito whom the success of the road was IN
a large measure due. Mr.. Forbes then
described the scene on a Christmas morn
ing when the employees of the company
were gathered in the power house wonder
ing What was coming, as they had already
received the usual Christmas turkey.
More than one shed tears of joy as he
received his check ranging in amount
from $50 to $1,000, according to the number
Of years he had been in the c~onapany's
Employ. Such incidents as these" said
Mr.. Forbes, .show that the Christian
spirit is at work in the sphere of business,
and is succeeding where harsher and less
tolerant methods lave failed. 1t is GER
tainly true that Jesus Christ holds the key
to the situation. Let the principles which
Jesus taught be applied to the conduct OF
business. let masters and men meet each
other on the broad ground of Christian
forbearance, Cancellation and . good will
and the Industrial conflict will be a thing
of fhe mast. &

STILL another funny bill is that which
provides that any telephone company

company may use the others wires, the
fees to be proportionately divided. This

enable any corporation to confiscate any

Queer Bill. at Trenton.

The Legislature has not done anything
very remarkable either for good or evil,
up to date, and the impression was get
ting abroad that the leaders were aiming
at making a celorless record. This week,
however, the. complexion of affairs mas
changed somewhat. and several coioreo
gentlemen nave appeared in the legis-
latiye wood pile.
The measure passed by the Senate 10
provide for filling vacancies in the bouie-
ward Commission, is one of the most
shameful c~ontraventions yof the Home
Rule principle that we have seen in many
moons. The office is a purely local one.
Not a dollar of State money is handled
by the Commission: no interests save
those of the county are involved. 1t Is
as unreasonable TO give the Governor the
power of appointment as it would be to
Mace the selection of Street and Water
Commissioners for Jersey City in his
hands. Assemblyman Murphy's bill to
give the Board of Freeholders power to
fill the vacancy only until the next cleo
ton exactly hits the situation. 1t pre-
serves the principle of Home Rule, and 1t
refers the case to the people at the earliest
possible moment. We think Governor
voorhees, will kill this bill if it ever
reaches him. Certainly he cannot let 1t
become law, and retain n vestige OF
reputation for consistency or regard for
his pledges to the people.

ANOTHER queer bill is that n which
Mr. Deleot of Essex introduced, providing
for two s $500 a year Assistant Prosecutors

ing the G.. o. P. devotion to economy and
reform, this tendency to multiplication OF
offices is remarkable. We imagine the
bill is not prompted by the shortcomings
of the Prosecutors Office in this county.
Most likely another of the Riker family
