DIFFERENTIATION is Worthy Cause
was the subject Of an eloquent and IN
teresting sermon preached to the strik-
ink machinsis last night by the Rev.
James j.. Nicholas, pastor OF the Sec
opd Methodist Protestant Church. lie
took his text from the twenty-hrst rhlp-
ter thii tecnth verse of the Acts: FOR
/ am ready not to be bound only, but also
TO die at Jeresulam for the name OF the
Lord Jesus"
Mr.. Nicholas said in part: The Apostle
Paul is the greatest human illustration
of determination that history can pro-
duce. This was first demonstrated when
as Saul of Tarsus he prosecuted the
Christians. We have no account or any
influences contrary to his purpose that
were brought TO bear on him but beyond
n doubt there were forces and influences
brought to bear 60 stop his cruel perse-
eions."
Nyaspeaking of the machinists' cause

inc ;tsWhat is your cause? You reply
Castla are seeking shorter hours for
Col,ao;ot6nt reduction in wages. Now

You wish shorter hours
New CASH, rs reply is in order that we
s5.aun. proper rest from our labors and
have a little time in our homes and with
our families. Second, why do you desire
the wages to continue the same when
your work is one hour shorter? The an
swer IL (firstl because we feel that we
have earned the full amount. (Second)
We can't live respectfully on less.
tThirD BY having more rest we will doaS
much work in nine hours as we have
done in ten hours with shorter rest. :.
"Now question on the other side.
will the employer be effected by it and
how? This is where the whole question
hinges right now. The workmen claim
that with nine hours labor and time for
recreation and rest he does the same
amount of labor and does II better. The
employer says that ten hours Is not to
much Of strain on mans vitality and
that the speed with which they work for
nine hours they can keep up ten hours
and still have plenty Of time for recr.S-
tion and rest.
"As I understand this question there
has becn no grievance either on the part
Of the EMPLOYERS or emnloves. The nm-
ploves simply consider the present stu
alton unjust to their interests and have
sought method for rectifying the mis-
take They assume that the nrosent oon-
ditions are wrong. Now il will be profit
able TO consider the causes that led to
this present situation.
''There was n time when man worked
longer hours without complaining hut
thev did not work MS hard or as fast nor
did they do the class Of work which thov
do now. Canitalts took advantage of
the long hours to force their men to
work faster and harder nnd thus bring
more r"vcnne TO them. This eventually
led TO the late syst m Of ten hours labor
each dav at so much per hour"
Mr. Nicholas said that the capitalists
"rned for gold caus most of the trouble
b tween capital and labor. He said: "In
the rush for gold man fnrgets his noi"h
hor. in mnnv cases his honor. sometimes
his loved ones and also too often his
