CHURCHES TO ADVOCATE
REFORM MEASURES
(By the Rev. Charles stelzle.J

The Men and Religion Forward Move
men, which was launched in Minneapolis
early on October End. promises to be the
greatest movement of its kind in the
history of the American church. Thirty
experts dealing with various phases of
the social and religious problem are to
be at work in the city for week con-
Quoting mass meetings and conferences.
Social service is to be given prominent
places in the program. The meetings
will be held in nearly 100 of the princi-
pal cities of the United States, but in
addition practically the same program
will be carried out in fully a thousand
smaller cities and towns. Each of the
cities is making very thorough study
of the social conditions of the people.
The educational advantages, especially
for the sons of workingmen, will be
studied by experts, the question being
raised as to whether the courses of study
in the public schools have in mind the
95 per cent. of the workingmen's chill
dren who do not go to college, but who
are compelled to enter the shop and fac
tory at an early age
A study will be made of the public
libraries, of the amusements and recrea-
tional life of the people, as well as the
Ol DiyS arrested anu lne causes
of their arrests The immigration prob
lem will be sympathetically studied, and
the question of municipal administration
will be handled in scientific manner.
survey of the industrial life of the
community showing the working condi-
tions as to hours, wages, and the san-
tary state of shops and factories will be
made. The investigators will look into
the matter of Organized Labor, studying
very frankly the entire situation, and
giving chance for a public discussion
on the problems of the workingman.
The causes of crimes and arrests viii
be discovered. The question of the dis
position of those who are arrested and
the qualifications of the judges and SUI
perintendents of our various phian-
thropic organizations and public inshtu-
tions will be investigated. The housing
problem is an important part of this
study. The movement will try to dis
cover whether there is over-crowding
and whether the law is being observed
with regard to light and ventilation, and
whether there is sufficient space for
yards and courts.
The matter of the city's health will be
surveyed The number of deaths per

WAGE INCREASES ON RAILWAYS.

Washington-Railway systems, with a
mileage aggregating 1880, have in
creased the wages of employees during
the past year 4.S7 per cent over 1910.
1t must be borne in mind, however, that
considerable proportion of the in
crease included in the per cent. given
will not apply until 1912. The different
classes of employees received the follow
ing percentage of increase over the
wages of 1910: Trainmen, GAG per cent;
shopmen, 5.5S per cent; telegrah oper-
ators and dispatchers, ASS per cent;
station men, 3.16 per cent, and track
men, 2.1S per cent. The total amount of
this increase means that there will have
been put into the pockets of the en-
ployes at the close of 1911 the sum of
$14636,00O more than was received for
the same service in 1910. This magnii-
cent result is due solely to the effe"
organizations of labor being maintained
and strengthened each year by the en-
ployes of the great transportation lines
of the country.

THE FESTIVE sTRIkEsREAkER.

During the progress of the garment
workers strike in Cleveland, Ohio, a
squad of professional strikebreakers
were employed to make believe that they
were at work as garment workers, in or
der, of course, to discourage the strikers.
Later on, this same squad was taken to
Ell Paso, Texas, and employed as ma
chinists and boilermakers. This is the
usual routine of the life of a strike
breaker, and is a phase of the strike
which is extremely ludicrous. AS mat
ter of fact, it very seldom occurs that in
a strike of any magnitude it is possible
for the employers of labor to recruit any
considerable number of competent me-
chanics to take the places of union men,
bers who have ceased work for the pur-
pose of enforcing their just demands.

1RAINmEN IN STRIKE MOOD.

The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and the Order of Railroad Conductors
on the Hartman lines in Texas have
voted to go on strike with the shop
men. Notice has been served on the
railroad officials The Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen and
the Order of Railroad Telegraphers are
now voting on the same proposition, and
it is reported that all of these organiza-
tions will join with the shopmen unless
the demands are met by the company
1t is rumored that the Brotherhoods con
template a federation similar to the shop
crafts and are prepared to ask the COM
pany to recognize the Trainmen's Fed
Grafton in making new agreements to
replace those which expire shortly.
Should this combination be put in effect
it would mean the complete unanimity
of both shop and operating forces.
United labor bulletin., 1911-11-09

Thousand population during the past 10
years, showing the record for each year
and indicating causes of death for each
year, will be asked; also the percentages
of deaths of children under one year of
age, as well as of older children. Inves-
tigation will be made of the number of
deaths from tuberculosis, but principally
an attempt Will be made to arrive at the
causes of the diseases from which most
of the people in the city have died, and
very definite attempt will be made to
get at those who are responsible for the
sufferings of the people in this connec-
ton.
The political life of the community
will be studied, and 1t is hoped that, as
a result of this study, the men in the
town will line up definitely with the
parties or leaders who stand for the best
interests of the people, regardless of
their political affiliations. Whether or
not the hospitals are efficiently con-
Quoted, and If adequate provision is be-
ing made for the poor of the city will be
a large part of this inquiry. The care of
the aged and little children will be gone
into pretty thoroughly.
This entire study will be conducted
upon the most approved scientific prin-
ciples, and undoubtedly, as a result of
this survey there will emerge definite
policy concerning the treatment of the
unfortunate and the handicapped who
are going through life often sucering on
account of the misdoings of others. Such
movement should appeal to every
workingman, and 1t is hoped that If the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
comes to the cities in which there are
central labor unions. or even II there are
only detached groups of organized work
ingmen. that organized labor will re-
spond to 1t.
Among the speakers connected with
the social service part of the work, are
such men as Raymond Robbins, Graham
Taylor, Professor Rauschenbush and
Charles Stelzle.

USE PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Cleveland-Organized labor has won
its contention to obtain for all citizens
the use of public school buildings The
school board has passed an amendment
to the board rules opening the schools
to the public. The only class of meet
ings barred are direct appeals for votes
and sectarian religious meetings, and all
meetings must be concluded by 10 p. m.
Fifteen signatures of taxpayers on a pc
ttion to the school director are neces
sary to procure the use of the buildings.
Labor was the first to take advantage of
the new order of things. The Cleveland
Federation has started a ten-day cam
paign to place the initiative and refer
endum in the state constitution.

CANADIAN MAIL CARRIERS STRIKE.

Regina, Sask.-The clerks and mail
carriers of this city are on strike, al
though these men are attached to no or
ganiZation of labor, or otherwise The
strike came as a result of oppressive
conditions. The men are overworked,
each man doing the work of at least two,
and wages are extremely low, opportuni-
ties for advancement having been care
fully eliminated by the officials. 1t is re-
ported that there is an unrest almost
reaching rebellion among all the Cana
dian postoffice employees.

CRITICAL RAILROAD SITUATION.

1t is stated that the shop employees on
the Rick Island railroad are voting over
whelmingly in favor of the strike. The
point at issue is an increase in wages
The management of the Rock Island has
recognized the System Federation and
has granted working rules that are salts
factory to all the unions, but has refused
to grant any advance in wages, the de-
mand being for a 10 per cent. increase.
