eminent for the second peace confer
ence at The Hague the United States

pected that this country would take
the Initiative with regard to the Drago
doctrine, which involves the right to
collect debts by force, but it has not
been known that the American gov

Sins of Church Against Labor.

Sins of Church Against Labor.
Professor Charles p Fagnani Of the
Union Theological seminary, address
ing Brooklyn audience under the aus
pices of the Episcopal social service
committee and the Central Labor un-
ion, said that as confession was one
of the doctrines of the church the
church should go to confession itself
and confess its sin against the labOring
man. He asserted that the church had
been too prone to put emphasis II the
affairs of the other world and hst4 not
taken time to Investigate the conditions
on this planet. He said that the church
confessed that it had been wrong In de-
spising and ignoring science and in not
considering the body as well as the
in having preached resignation aud
submission under conditions which
have made it impossible for man to be
content Instead the church should
have said. Insist on higher wages and
better conditions" He admitted that
the church had not cultivated true
brotheriiness and then he asked If la
Dor in the face of such confession
would meet the church halfway, re-
membering that the beginning of the
church was successful labor strike.
1t was the laboring man who rushed
to embrace the doctrine OF Christ. not
