Capital and Labor.

The publication Of the deliverance of the Com
mission of the Federal Council upon the Church
and social service brings prominently to the front
the great question of capital and labor.
The work OF the world must be done with material,
muscle and brain. All are necessary factors, and
the possessor OF each any two or OF all three has
right TO proper return for the investment OF each.
No fair-minded thoughtful man will have any quarrel
with organized capital such. Capital must be
organized to secure the best results. The great
world-spanning undertakings of the present age
cannot be carried on by individuals Corpora
tons combining wealth and mind are necessary to
do the work OF the world efficiently and economi-
cally. This paper welcomes the organization OF
great corporations in Richmond or anywhere else
in Virginia to develop our resources, and minister
to the comfort and welfare of people. But
this paper will always oppose any effort by any
corporation 10 organize an oppressive monopoly or
to override the law of the State, to secure any
legislation that will enrich or strengthen the cor
poration at the expense of the laborng people of
the State.
Likewise this paper believes that labor should be
organized and commonds the great work that has
been done by the labor organizations in securing the
betterment Of the condition OF laboring men.
The Church Commission on Social Service rec
efnmends the official bodies of Christian churches
to pass resolutions calling upon employers of labor
within those churches to adopt three simple rules
in their business operations with their employees
/. To give days rest in seven
- Reasonable hours ef labor.
3. A living wage based on these reasonable
hours of labor.
These are reasonable recommendations and are
certainly in accordance with the Golden Rule laid
down by the Great Teacher for the guidance OF
men in their relations with each other The hours
OF labor should be reduced to that point that the
Iaboring man can have that amount OF leisure that
is necessary for a normal and well-rounded life.
Every man should he free from work one day in
seven and every man should be paid the highest
possible wages that any business man can afford
and give fair division of the proftsof the business
to both the employers and the employees.
The quarrel of the employees has not been that
they have not received much money in return as
the employers, but that after working for long
hours they have often been unable to obtain for
their families the bare necessities OF life to say moth
ing Of the comforts.
Such a social system is abhorrent to the princi-
Piles Of the great Founder Of the churches and the
Federal Council has done a great service to the
Church and to the people at large in enunciating
these simple reasonable propositions.
The relation OF capital and labor will never be
satisfactorily adjusted until both sides adopt as
teir rule Of conduct the great principle enumerated
1900 years ago. Therefore. whatsoever ye would

ANNEXATION SEEMS
DESTINED TO FALL
Committees Apparently Afraid to
Test Agreement in Is.
Council.

No definite time for the presenta-
ton of the annexation agreement be-
tween the committees of the Rich
mond and Manchester councils has
been fixed.
1t remains for the chairmen of the
two committees--L. X. Brown, oil
Manchester, and Harry r. Pollard,
Jr.. of Richmond, to decide just
when the measure which Is to be
offered shall be placed before the
councils.
It Is accepted in counciimanic cir
Giles that the reason for the delay
is the formidable opposition that has
appeared in the two branches of
the Richmond council to the annexa-
ton project.
Many Now Oppose 1t.
Counotlmen and aldermen who viii
acknowledge their intention to vote
for the annexation measure are few
and far between these days. Many
who originally favored the consolida-
ton scheme are now inimical to IT,
Some of the old friends of annexa-
ton in the city council have changed
their views because of the opposition
to annexation they found among
their constituents In the newly an
nexed section of the city.
The popular impression among
property owners and residents of the
ter Is annexed It's urgent needs will
be so great that Richmond's new
territory Will suffer for improve
ments; that improvements which
now seem near will become remote
Naturally these citizens prefer to
see the new territory on the Richmond
side of the river improved rather
than annex Manchester and wait In
definitely for improvements.
The remark of a member OF the
special committee on annexation OF
Manchester was quoted at the cry
hall to-day by fellow councilman.
The latter said:
This gentleman remarked to me
while we were discussing the con-
solidation scheme that he would not
vote for II himself II he could grace
fully avoid 1t. but being member
of Ale annexation committee and
pledged to the agreement he could
not help himself"
Governor Swanson having signed
the enabling bill. 1t now remains for
the councils of Richmond and Man
chester to take action on the meas
ure. The chairman OF the Richmond
Committee. Harry r. Pollard, is wait
Ing for the chairman of the Man
chester committee to place the agree
ment before the Manchester council
Chairman Brown, of the Manchester
committee. will take that step prob
ably within a week.
The prospect for annexation at this
time Is anything but bright.
