THE COOPERATION OF
CHURCH AND LABOR.
RBy the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)

When I speak of THE Church,
mean the ORGANIZED Church; and
when l speak of labor, mean OR
CANNED labor; for this is the only
way that they can cooperate. Indi-
viduals may help in bringing about
better conditions, butsif reform is to
come through the Church, it will
come through the Organized church;
and if reform is to come through
labor, it will come through Organized
labor. It seems to me that every
man who processes to be Christian
should be identified with the great or
ganization that stands for the prin-
ciples of Christianity. even though il
may not interpret these principles il
every detail SO as to- meet with his
approval. Just SO, every workingman
who believes in the elevation of the
human race, should become identified
with the Trades Union, even though
there may be some things in Or
ganized Labor to which he cannot
give his unqualified approval. Fol
who stands more persistently for the
principles of Christianity than does
the Church; and who stands more az
gressively for the rights of labor thar
does the Trades Union? WITH ALL
THEIR MISTAKES AND ALL THEIR
SHORTCOMINGS, THEY BOTH REP
RESENT THE BEST IN THEIR PAR
TICULAR FIELD.
The possibilities in the cooperation
of Church and Labor are limitless.
Nothing would be impossible in the
matter of social and economic reform.
With the three million Trades Union
lists in America. and all that they rep
resent in their families, and the con-
stituency which may not be in their
organizations but for whom they,
nevertheless, speak; and with the
thirty-three million church members,
Protestant, Catholic and jewish
these constitute force which would
be well-nigh inyincible. With such
tremendous power. there comes great
responsibility. If there is any evil in
our cities, any evil in society any
where, GOD AND MAN HAVE THE
RIGHT TO HOLD CHURCH AND
LABOR RESPONSIBLE IF THEY
ARE NOT ERADICATED.
But what about the motive in this
cooperation? 1t must be one of alb
solute unselfishness. The question is
not what can wet get out of such CO.
operation, but how much can we put
into it. It is not merely a question. of 1
WAGES for LABOR; it is not merely
a question of MEMBERS for the
CHURCH; but how may we make !
OTHERS, better and happier, because
of this cooperation. This should be
the supreme motive, always.

A CHRISTMAS GREETING.

Merry Christmas to our workingmen,
and prosperous New Year.
May you receive your just reward

Do not fear; be of good cheer.
AS your trials now are heavy, your
remorses will be few.
Think not that the man with money
is the one who's happlest
Though it always is convenient, it
does not bring peace and rest.
think not when he spends so freely,
he is buying mems good will,
de may, lavish gifts pro1usely, and be
lacking true friends still.
Envy not, whate'er your lot.
Though you sometimes feel despond-
ent, God will all his word fulfill.
May We be impressed on Christmas
by the birth of his dear Son,
Who has fought the tight that you,
my man, are fighting now, and. won.
He came to earth to triumph DER the
wicked ones in power,
And all who follow in his train shall
share his heavenly dover.
Do not despair; be just and fair,
Each victory gained renews. your
strength as rains afresh a flower.
God speed the day when workingmen
shall independent be,
And know their ranks are nobly. filled
by men both strong and free

IN THE DOORWAY.

When l shut my eyes can see him
as plainly as l see that ash tray.
I'm not what you'd call an magma
tive man, mind you, but 1 simply
can't forget him. He stood in the
doorway there. with. out-stretched
arms, for all the world like pic
ture of the Cruciixion. Funny, the
association of ideas. He. wasn't a
bit like Christ of the pictures, you
know; he was just the ordinary
laborer. type of man. Still, it al
ways reminds me of that, some
how.
Well, there's not very much to tell.
A sa mater of fact, knew practical
tly nothing about him at the time he
called. 1t seemed he had been en-
ployed in the works, as fufAaceman
or something. Very steady chap, so
the foreman told me a; good worker,
and all that, but suffered from his
bert. Might have been the furnaces;
l don't know. That made it risky
for us, of e-compensation. But
he wasn't sacked for that; not
exactly. When the slump caught US,
you see, we had to curtail our out
put. That meant laying off some
of the men. He was one of the first
to go, apparently.

THE FATE OF A sCAB.

A well-known boss at a certain. plant
One day gave up the ghost
Of doing the trusts most dirty work
Within himself he was a host.
He surely was the biggest sheep
That ever the devil sent
He turned the sect and tin mills
black -
Everywhere he went.
He turned them into open shops
The whole worlds greatest curse
Of all the knights of scabdom
No doubt he was the worst
And on throughout his whole career
He helped the trust to rob
Until all the men had organized
And this. black sheep lost his job
When he left this earth this former
boss
Went up the golden stair
Thinking Of the starry crown
He thought he'd have to wear
He imagined he would occupy
A seat upon the throne,
And this would be his first reward
To the seed that he had sown
He was unprepared to understand
Or even to believe
The startling information
He was destined to receive.
He sought out Satan's quarters
And his tale was told again
And thought without question
To be admitted there and then
Old Nick's perplexity was great
And for while he scratched his
head
But at length he said if this is true,
This man is worse than I.
At the gate he told his story
How he had never failed
To help defeat the A. A.
And so on. ran the tale
The guard replide, I've been in
formed
To tell scabs if you please
That the angels have all organized
And the union have the keys 4
I'll just hand out the gent the keys
And bid you all goodby.
On hearing this all the. imps
Set up an awful din 10
And hurried consultation was car
ried on within.
The former boss fell back aghast
AS these words rang loud and clear:
''Your Majesty, we have organized,
And wont have scabs in here"

Is the word of Corbett, when danger
seems to threaten.

"WAIVING CLAIM"

really wishes TO place a man with a

three others are sought for the pur.

! felders.
There used TO be a rule in the Ma.
tional league TO the effect that a club
asking waivers had to dispose OF that
player TO the team that refused to re-
lease It's claim and had the $1,000
handy. That cut OFF playing politics
on the waiver business, but the Ma
tional finally adopted the Americans
system. which permits OF little
more kid glove work.
| In the case OF player purchased
from Il minor league and whom a ma
jor league club wishes to send back.
waivers must be secured In both the
National and American, providing the
major league club desires to dispose
OF him within a year OF the date OF
purchase. Drafted players require
consents only in the one organization.
The reason for that. Is in purchas-
ng a player the Is clubs who did not
get him were deprived OF their char
ices during the drafting season. II
he had gone TO the drafting season
without title passing to a major
eague club. all Is would have had an

draft had been put in they would be

In speaking OF remnants and cham
pionships one can scarcely refrain
from a little mention OF the Detroit
fans. One of the chief aids to the re-
cent slump has been the way the men
who support baseball have failed to
stand behind the club. The Tigers
have won games with such regularity
that the patrons sort OF expect them
never TO lose, and no ball club every

and jeering every play that is not i0O
