ment Of church and labor, with Rev.
Charles Sickle at its head. AS a dem
onstration, under difficult conditions, the
board established labor temple at East
Fourteenth Street and Second Avenue,
Manhattan, New York City, using one
time Presbyterian Church for the purpose.
So marked has been the success of the
venture that 500, 900 has just been paid
for the site. and the intention is an
nounced of building there, as soon as
money can be secured. labor temple
that shall be for the use, not merely of
New York labor organizations, but be
in a sense a national headquarters for
labor interests. At present 1900 working
people a month use the building, not to
attend meetings merely, but to transact
business connected with labor organiza-
tions. The plan is to provide an audi
forum seating at least l.50o, to use Q
second floor for motion pictures. solely
or educational lines, and to offer upper
floors for offices for labor bodies. 1t Is
calculated that S35o,OO0 to $4,000 will be
needed to carry out the project, but
Presbyterian leaders have committed
themselves to it and plans are already
being drawn. The success of the labor
demonstration. in which Presbyterians
led, has been far beyond expectation.
