LABOR SUNDAY.
At the Toronto convention oil the ALI
,rican Federation of Labor a resolution
was adopted calling upon all religious
denominations to designate the Sunday
before Labor day in September as
Labor Sunday" and requesting that
they devote some part of the day to the
presentation of the labor question In
this connection, it is pleasing to know
that the executive committee of the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of Christ
in America, which represents eighteen
million members, with a constituency OF
forty million, at its annual meeting IN
Louisville. KY, last month, adopted the
following resolution:
Resolved, That we have received with
profound qualification the official COM
munication from the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which we hail as recog-
milton of the real attitude of the churches
toward labor questions. The communl-
cation is hereby ordered spread upon the
minutes of this committee, and we re-
commend to the churches OF America
hearty compliance with the request OF
the American Federation of Labor there /
in made, namely, that the Sunday before
the first Monday in September, or an
other as near thereto possible, be oh |
served as Labor Sunday with sermon
and other exercises appropriate to the
occasion"

Inc peuuons OF the Denver water
League, which is the organization rep
resenting the labor element, filed its
petition last Tuesday. The required
number of signatures is $500. The petit
ton contained 1867 signatures. We
understand that the Denver Water
League and the Citizens League reached
an agreement as to the petitions for the
initiative, referendum and recall, and the
petition was filed jointly. Provided there
is no legal complications and the petit
tions accomplish the objects sought, the
election will be held about ten days
ahead of the expiration of the present
franchise, or about April l. The petition
filed by the Denver Water League will
offer IS, 900 900 for the plant of the water
company, as compared with $14,400,O0O
fixed by the appraisers.

1t might come in handy some of these
days, so our suggestion for a change in
the wording of the Lords Prayer: Give
us this day our daily meat, but don't let
it be too expensive

In New York, says an exchange, the
Shirt Waist girls are still fighting ana
suffering from persecution at the hands
of their employers and the police force
and Judges who do their bidding. Thou
sands and thousands of people have ad-
mitted the justice of their demands. But
what does that matter to the manutac-
turers What do we care for public SEN
timent" The girls are thrown into police
cells for exercising their constitutional
rights. The New York police force seems
to still be adhering to Bro Schmidt
berger's famous saying. ITO hell with
the constitution"

finally starve without protest Coward
