Before last nights meeting was called to
order a group of painters was discussing
the proposed labor temple when T. J.
Moore said: "While L was working to-day

idea for every union in the city to request
an increase in wage of one cent a day IN
some certain date next spring, say May ],
the increase to be set aside for the build
ing fund. AT a low estimate there are
5000 union men in Toledo, and that would
mean $50 a day, $500 a week, $1,000 a month,
or SIS, 600. Sounds rather Colonel Mulberry
Sellers, doesn't he?-Toledo Bee.

'Our literature said Bishop Potter.
Shows that the social evils of this age
are interesting the best minds. Never be-
fore was there such a deep and active in
terest in sociology. TIKI church has
awakened from her umber and is ear
nestly dealing with these questions. There
must be mutual confidence and co-opera-
ton between the labor and the church or
CARNATIONS. The capitalist and Iaborer
should 60 hand in ~hand-neither should be
or top. The trade-union movement has
stood for the great principle of subordi-
mating minor interests for the good of all.
From the most serious collisions between
capital and labor valuable lessons have
been learned. Cancellation is being recog-
nized by the two forces as better thar
brute force. My experience in the cases of
arbitration Of labor disputes has found the
representatives of unions to be forbearing
and reasonable" Fifty years ago there
were few persons employed or gaining a
livelihood by the utilization of electric en-
ergy. Now in England and America there
are over a million-very likely two mill
lions in the world. In 1927 George Stephen
son started his first railroad train, posi-
bly, with a dozen employees. Now in the
UNITED States there are nearly $4,000 rail-
road workers.
