CHRISTIANITY AND
 SOCIAL PROBLEMS" Discussed by Former Vice President Fairbanks and Others.

Toronto, Ont, Oct. S.-Papers on Christianity and Social Problems by two members of the English parlia- ment and by a former vice president of the United States, were among those which today proved to be of es- pecia1 interest to the delegates attend ing the sessions of the Ecumenical Methodist conference n this city. The status of the laborer, as seriously af- fected by vital changes in modern so- cial and industrial conditions, and the duty and opportunities of the church in dealing with the various resultant problems, were among the topics dealt with from both practical and ethical points of view.
 'The keynote should be more relig- ion in business and more business in religion" said Charles W. Fairba nks, former vice president of the United States. Inequality of wages for men and women, working under like condi- tions, is an affront to the spirit of Christian religion The progress of nations in the last analysis is meas ured by the real progress of woman herself.
 A paper by Arthur Henderson of London, member of parliament, who was detained at home by government duties, was read by T. R. Frens, mem Der of parliament. "The laborer is worthy of his hire. but not infrequent- ly the hire is not worthy of the en- ployer,'' was one of MT. Henderson's S striking sentences.

THE SUPREME COURT
 TO CONVENE TODAY
Many Important Cases to Come Before
 the Highest Tribunal.

Washington, Oct. S.-The supreme court of the United States will con- vene tomorrow at noon after a four months recess. It will remain in ses- sion until the last of next May and will consider as many of the 800 cases now piled up on the docket as time will permit. An estimate has it that the court will dispose of about 400 cases during the term. but that about 200 additional eases will be docketed before next June.
 On account of the abolishment on January 1. 1913, of all circuit courts of the United States, leaving only the district courts, the court of appeals and the supreme court, it will be nee essary to revise the rules governing procedure in the supreme court. 1t is believed that the court will not only revise the rules so as to meet the aboiishment of the circuit courts, but it will modernize them in many ways.
 A long list of important cases will demand the attention of the court during the first month of it's session. Three cases involved alleged viola ton of the Sherman antitrust laws. These are the suits against the prin- cipal anthracite coal carrying railroads and coal owning companies; against the railroads operating the bridges over the Mississippi at St. Louis; and against James A. Patten and other prominent business men who are charged with obtaining a corner on the cotton market. The so-called "el- eyator cases'' will test the power of the interstate commerce commission.
