A STRIKE SERVICE"AT
DR.. BRIST0L'S CHURCH

The Rev Dr. Bristol, pastor of the
Metropolitan NJ z. Church, yesterday
evening conducted a strike" service al
his church. which was attended by a
large congregation. The Miners GIee
Club. Of EdwardsviIIe. Pa. furnished
part CT the music.
The speaker said If two great nations
can agree to submit all their differences
TO q tribunal Of arbitration. two little
institutions like a coal mine and a Ia
Dor union certainly could afford to DO
the same thing
In conclusion Of his sermon Dr. Bristol
said. 1T is my opinion that the com
mission recently appointed by President
Roosevelt TO arbitrate the coal strike IN
Pennsylvania, or a similar commission.
should be a permanent institution IN
America. The details as TO the or
agnization and duties Of such a com
mission should be worked out by those
most interested.
Dr. Bristol deprecated the idea OF
compulsory arbitration. He advocated
arbitration upon friendly, voluntary,
and humane principles.
