VOICE FROM THE PULPIT
labor Unions Logical, Says Rev. Or
Louis A. Banks.

That the popularity of labor unions is
growing is Illustrated by the fact that
public speakers are daily speaking IN their
favor. Rev. DR.. Louis A. Banks IN the
course of a sermon in the Grace Methodist
Episcopal church, New York city. sald
1.-The old days when the employer ana
the employee lived in the same street, IN
the same town, and met in friendly anu
social relations, are gone. Now the en-
ployer may be made up of ten or a
score or hundred thousand men scat
tered all over the country who never see
the men at work in their factories and are
utterly removed from all sympa thet1c and
personal touch. Furthermore, the en-
ployer has probably pooled his entire IN
vestment with other investments like IT,
and a giant trust controls. 1t is a mere
question of dividends. And unless labor
be organized it has no chance OF falr
treatment. <r.s
In my judgment the labor unions are
perfectly logical in their demands FOR
the recognition of their unions and to sell
their labor when they desire to do SO
through the officers of the -union. The
employers unite in trusts and appoint one
or more men to represent them, and%to
say the laboring men shall not have the
same privilege is an intolerable assump-

Brown and W. B. Mcintyre were delegated

fore going to Des Moines. He preached

CHILD LABOR

Case and Comment, a Magazine for Law
yers, Protests.
The conditions Of. child labor. through
out the country have called forth much
discussion in the past few months In
nearly every large city startling discov-:
cries are made Of cases where
children are compelled either to
work too long OF at kinds of
work for which they are unsuited.
Case and Comment, a magazine Devoted
to the interests of lawyers, has the fol-
lowing to say upon what it calls ''Barbar
Gus Child Labor:
Thirteen hours continuous labor, ex-
cept1ng twenty minutes for dinner, is re-
ported as the daily schedule for children.
as we'll as adults, in an Alabama factory
The Cry of the Children in which the
horror of child labor in England was
brought, by Mrs. Browning to the at :
tention of the public, was a protest
against inhumanity not much greater
than this. In Alabama, in Georgia and in
Pennsylvania, at least, some earnest at
tempts have been made to secure legisla-
ton for the better protection of child
laborers Without having investigated
+ the facts, it is not possible to state VIVA t
are the exact conditions of child labor in
| any particular instance. But it is beyond
doubt that there are in many places con-
EoilloHS WHICH ulSgfdce the comm unity,
| the state and the nation. -iE
| Still all day the iron wheels 80 onward !
Grinding life down. =, :
| IF it be true that. children anywhere
work thirteen hours per day. the fact
cannot be made too public. The employ
ers will very likely contend that the BUSH
ness cannot be carried on at all unless
they are permitted to enforce these in
| human regulations. So, in parliament it
was boldly declared that the mines could
not be operated if legislation should in
terfere with the conditions under which
child labor was employed in them, when
wEetched. children were doomed to work
there so constantly that they never saw
daylight except on Sundays. . The hope
/ of humanity largely rests upon the UNI
Eselfshness of those who give time and eff
fort ato2 better the conditions OF their fell
low men but they have to- struggle
against the selfish greed of those whom
lEhope of gain blinds to their own heart
less inhumanity. Those whose wealth Is
built on the crushed lives of children ma
enjoy it.
