Labor's Changing Ideal

RGANIZED labor's ideal Of q
short workday changes with
varying conditions. AT one time
it was customary to work IL or
more hours per day, but as civilization
advanced the working day has been
steadily reduced.
In reducing the hours of labor the
unions have been chiefly instrumental,
as they have in various trades estab-
lished a shorter workday and then fol-
lowed 1t up by legislation wherever
they have been strong enough.
Though eight hours" may be the
objective which organized labor now
seeks to accomplish, it does not fol-
low that eight hours is ideal, or that
1t will be the goal of the future: The
short-hour movement rests funda-
mently upon necessity.
1.-THE constant improvement in ma
chinery and consequent displacement
Of labor, together with the further dis
placement of labor by the tendency
toward consolidation in all lines of in
dustry, must ultimately compel us to
choose between three things: First,
we may shorten the hours Of labor to
distribute opportunity for employment,
or, second, we may tax property to
support the idle, or, third, we may
have revolution"
This mastery and unaswerable sum-
ming up of the underlying causes OF
the short-hour movement was by a
statesman, no less than the late
Thomas B. Reed.
1t follows that as long as machinery
and methods continue SO to improve
that less and less hours are required
for productive labor, the ideal work
ing day will be shorter and shorter.
Labor does not expect to live with
out work-it complains that there are
too many who live without work, and

rHE fundamental principles under
lying the constitution of the unit
ed brotherhood of carpenters

lying the constitution Of the unit
ed brotherhood of carpenters
and joiners of America compel
us to recognize that the interests OF all
classes of labor are identical. We
hold it as a sacred principle that trade
union men, above all others, should
set an example as good and faithful
workmen, performing their duty to
their employers with honor to them
selves and to their organization.
The mechanic, of whatever trade
he may be, in taking this obli-
cation, feels it his duty to become
more skilled, and for the honor Of his
organization he becomes more indus
trious and takes a greater interest In
his work, knowing that his employer,
who has been carefully watching him,
will be more willing to accede to any
reasonable request that his union may
make in the form of shorter hours,
higher wages or more humane condi-
lions.
l am well aware that the unfair en-
ployer holds that nonunion labor Is
more efficient than union labor, and
that his arguments have had some
weight in forming public sentiment
against us in the past. But the fact
still remains that we have the best

To provide work for the idle affects
the supply of and demand for labor
and favorably affects wages-as all
short-hour trades well know-but the
desire of the worker to have some
time for recreation and amusement
stimulates the demand for shorter
hours.
AS u wage-earners become better

They desire more leisure that their
industrial life may be prolonged.

Building a
Church
BY Amos R. Wells

Nh T Is not surprising that
SA Jesus wished to know who
VGN men thought him to be.
AWENN That is an important mat
ter in anyone's ufa It
made a great difference to Napoleon
whether men thought Of him as first
consul or an emperor. 1t made q
great difference to Edison whether
men thought of him as a telegraph
operator or as an inventor. 1t made
a vast difference to Jesus whether
men thought of him as the son OF
Joseph or the Son of God. 1t made
a difference to him because 1t male
an infinite difference to lei
Christ's church consists Of all
those that think him to be the Son
of God. The Greek word for church"
means "the called-out." Christ's
church consists of those that are
called out from the persons that be-
lieve Jesus to be a sage, a prophet,
a hero, a martyr; and the c~alled-out
persons believe him to be God.
Deed Is chrlst's.
It is Christ that calls out, that g
lects the stones for his church. He
alone can tell whether the belief In
him as God Is merely an empty be-
lief of the head, or a heart-and-life
belief also. He alone a see through
the stone, cut trinity, with shining,
smooth surfaces, and discer the hid
den issure that will crack or the
hidden pyrite that will stain.
And, of course, the first stone that
Christ selected, the first church
member that he called out, was the
first mar who sincerely and openly
believed him to be God. That twas
Peter need not surprise us, for that
apostles faults were all on the sur
face and could be tril med away.
The inner part of him was all right,
and 1t is the inner part of a stone
rather than the outside that counts
permanently In a building.
Was Peter surprised at this honor
from his Lord? | think not; he
would have been far more surprised
If it had not been given, II after his
whole-hearted adhesion he had not
been built into the church of Christ.
And indeed the whole Gospel story
proves that he received no special
honor, no more than John, no more
than James, no more than Paul, no
more than you or me If we make
Peters confession of Christ.
Ours Also the Authority.
But were not the keys of the king
dom Of Heaven given to Peter? Were
not his bindings and loosings to be
ratified in Heaven? Yes, and all this
authority is ours also, on the same
terms. When stones are built into a
church, the same key that admits to
the block of marble or lapis lazuli
admits to the block of granite or
limestone. Those that are n with
Christ are n with his learning and
authority and power. Not the hum

his head with the lordliest.
1.-The gates of Hades shall not pre-
vail against it." said Christ; against
the church; against you. if you are a
stone built into the church. But was
not Christ, the next minute, to say
sternly to Peter, Get thee behind me
Satan?" Was not Peter, not many
months thereafter, to deny Christ and
go out weeping bitterly? Yes; but
not into the outer darkness. The
power of Hades may shake the
church, but the mortar holds. No
stone that has been built into the
structure shall ever fall out.

Free Forgiveness.

Oh, the freedom with which the
gates of the divine forgiveness are
thrown open! The Bible trembles and
burns and overruns with offers! They
crowd on one another. Not waiting
to be asked, not giving it reluctantly,
but following to tempt them with it.
In his open hands. the eager Saviour
brings his free forgiveness. The

the great miracle of that free pardon.

Government Lawyer RuffIes Dignity of
 The Supreme Court
Especial from United Press.]

Washington, Oct. 1.-The dignity of the Supreme Court of the United States was ruffled, yesterday after noon, when Attorney J. c. Mickey holds, for the government. charged that statements made in a brief filed by the Central Railroad of New Jer- sey were 'ma1iciously false.'
 It was at the opening of argument of the governments appeal in the suit against the Anthracite Coal Trust, in which railroads and coal companies were alleged to have combined in re- straint of trade.
 'T wish to call the attention of the court to the language in the brief filed by the Central Railroad of New Jer- sey,' said McReynolds, "ard to state to the court that these statements are naliciously false"
 MT. McReynolds cited quotations from the railroad brief in which it was asserted that the government had s'de- liberately quoted parts of the record condemned by the lower court and through an artificial juxtaposition of unrelated facts" had created a false atmosphere. The attorney for the government was greatly angered and was launching into vigorous reply when Chief Justice White cut him short by announcing that the court would pass on the language
 The chief justice ordered that all of the railroad rate cases be assigned to be heard on January 8. These irl- clude the Missouri. Kentucky, Oregon and Minnesota rate cases and sim liar case from West Virginia.

ord in that great struggle for inde- pendence. A good deal has happened since that struggle closed.
 "The history of every country that is worth talking about divides itself into two. There is it's ancient history
 and it may not be so very ancient there is it's modern history. The his- tory of the United States is thus d1- vided. No one doubts where the d1- vision line runs.
 Our forefathers bequeathed to us a hard problem to solve, It was so hard that they could not solve 1t themselves. It was a problem of con- stitutional law. Did the constitution of the United States create a govern ment by the whole people; or did it set up a government ordained by the states, each speaking for it's own peo- pie, and for nobody else? That was the problem. It meant can a state rightfully and lawfully secede from the Union?
 'It was fair question for debate. The lawyers debated it for twenty years, and could not convince each other. The lawyers on both sides or a controversy seldom agree. Then they passed it over to their clients to the people, or to the states, call 1t as you will. Then came the closing could not be argued, it had to be fought out
 Those were the terrible years that came then. Years of civil war; and then years of civil wreck. Peace came at last, such as it was. Order came at last.

WHAT IS BEER?
 AND VINEGAR?
Dr. Wiley's Pure-Food Board to Tackle These Problems
 and Soft Drinks, Too

Washington, Oct 11-An order for the immediate consideration of fE1e perplexing questions: What is beer9s "What is vinegar?' and What is z soft drink?" was passed yesterday af- ternoon by the board of food and drug inspection
 These three pure food problems have been under consideration for nearly two years, but members of the board have been unable to agree The re- tirement of Solicitor George P McCabs and the temporary absence of Dr. F. l.. Dunlap from the board <1eaves Dr. Wiley and Dr. R. E. Doolittle. the new member, prepared to take immediate action to settle the long standing con- troversies.
 Vinegar will be the first subject con- sidered by the board. It is the com tention of Dr. Wiley that pure vinegar should be made only from cider and that vinegars made from malt, sugar. molasses, wine, and other ingredients should not be branded as pure vinegar. It is understood that Dr. DooIftt1e, who is "the vinegar expert" of the department of agriculture, holds a similar view, and that the board of food and drug inspection is likely to make ruling soon in line with Dr. Wiley's views.
 There will be no more hearings on any of the three subjects pr. Wiley said that hearings and investigations on the subjects have been sufficiently thorough, and that it remains only for the board to examine the evidence and make it's rulings. This has been impossible in the past because of the disagreement among three members.
 Action against soft drinks sold ak soda fountains can apply only to the drinks as they are shipped in inter- state commerce. The government po-s lice power will give pr. Wiley the op< portunity, however, to enforce his Tb1- ings in the city of Washington by ccn- fiscating impure drinks at the local soda fountains.
 "The pure soft drink should contain only pure fruit extract. sugar, spice and pure water" said pr. Wiley. If I had my way no other soft drinks would be permitted in the market. The health of children should not be endangered by the artificial sweeten- CTS, coloring matter and havors that the sometimes used, and the public should be protected against the caf- feine and dope that finds it's way into many of the drinks"
