MINISTER'S COMMEND

markable Report to Diocesan Council.

Milwaukee, Sept. 2S.-While GER
tain ministers in New York city have
organized "to fight Socialism," the
Protestant ministers Of Milwaukee
who have seen Socialists in office,
take a very different view OF the sub,
ject. The Social service comm ion
OF the Episcopal diocese of MilwsL aee
has just submitted rather remark
able report to the diocesan council.
In this report, the commission says !:
I'VE wish to commend to the atten.
tion of churchmen the efforts of the
present city administration to make
the public school buildings of greater
use to the whole population, to build
durable and attractive houses for
working people, and to rearrangc the
streets and street car system so as
to make these easily accessible.
The commission also expresses its
belief that the discretion reposed
upon our courts to issue injunctions
is one that has been sadly abused"
Moreover, it would have the church
always the friend of organized labor.
This shows that where sincere
churchmen have an opportunity to SET!
Socialists really in action, they have
no further desire to "organize TO fight

proposition will give the city the right

power This clause will enable the
city to run its own street cars. and
thus pave the way to municipality

something doing IN the Cream City.

Moreover, il the workers of West

their jobs. the undertaken and sexton

the coal baron would have to pay
decent wage and the politician would

travels, but the menials OF the coal

than the chattel slaves of the most

AND DEMOCRATIC MUL
MINERS ASK TO HAVE
DOCKING ABOLISHED

'Wilkes-Barre. Pa. Sept. 27.-A
novel point was raised at the meeting
OF the conciliation board here this
afternoon when mine workers at the
old Forge Colliery of the Pennsy1.
Vania Coal Company asked if they
were compelled to accept an agree.
ment which they did not favor, but
winch men at other collieries of the
company approved.
Some weeks ago the mine workers
OF this company went on strike owing
10 excessive docking, so they claimed
and they demanded that the system
OF docking be abolished.
The company replied it was inpos.
slble to abolish 1t, but that it could be
modified and submitted a proposition
for its modification. A committee
representing the strikers accepted this
proposition. but it was not agreeable
to the old Forge men, and they askeo
the Cancellation board to sustain them
intheir refusal to accept the PROPOSE
ton. The conciliation board decided
to get an answer from the company
before acting on the matter.
