A Protest Against Working Labor
Men Seven Days Per Week
By CHARLES STELZLE
Field Secretary Federal Council Churches of Christ

Shall an industry which already en-
ploys its men twelve hours per day
in jobs which require great physical en-
durance be permitted to work these men
seven days per week thruout the entire
year?
This in substance is the question
which the state industrial commission
OF New York has been called upon to
determine. The Lackawanna Steel COM
puny-iust outside of Buffalo, and en-
ploying 1000 men-has asked for ex-
emption from the ne-day's-rest- seven
law. 1t desires the commission to legal
ize its present unlawful tactics of en-
ploying its men continuously The final
disposition of this matter is of import
ance not only to the men employed in
the steel plant, but to every working
man thruout the country.
No objection is made to continuous
operations in such departments as are
OF necessity run continuously because of
technical reasons-we protest against
the men being worked continuously.
The company insists that the ma
chinery in its plant be repaired at stat
ed intervals and that its furnaces must
be refined once every seven days. This,
the company declares, requires the con-
tinuous service of its men. Do not
these men also require rehabilitation and
recreation? Isn't a man worth more
than 4 machine?
A man who works seven days per
week continuously has a very poor
chance to develop as man, citizen, a
father and husband.
All the tendencies in industrial life
are toward the shorter workday on ac-
count of the increased strain being
placed upon all workers. The steel
plant is run on twelve hour basis
four hours longer than the generally ac-
cepted working period-and now asks
permission to crown the evil of a twelve
hour day by the elimination of any day
of rest
Seveu-day labor has been condemned
by practically all who have given the
question serious thought - legislators,
social workers. workingmen, churchmen,
physicians, and employers. A committee
appointed by the English government to
consider the health of munition work
ers reported that weekly day of rest
must be allowed. If this recommenda-
tion, made in the interest of winning a
war, is accepted, is a nation at peace
likely to serve its ends best by follow
ing an opposite course?
1t is argued that the men prefer to
work continuously. 1t has always been
possible to secure petitions protesting

GUN-ToT1NG IS CAUSE OF DEATHS
U, S. Census Bureau Reports 1904 Died
of Bullet Wounds in 1915.

The terrible results of the practice
commonly known as gun -toting are
brought out strikingly in report Of
the United States census bureau, Just
issued. setting forth the principle causes
o: death in the United States.
The census bureau makes the follow
ing astonishing statement:
During the year 1915 firearms caused
more deaths than railroad accidents,
more than five times as many as street
car accidents, nearly az many as ran,
road and street car accidents combined
and more than twice as many as auto
mobile accidents.
"The total number Of deaths due TO
the use of firearms in the registration
area in 1918 was 1894, corresponding to
a death rate of ll.9 per 100000. O1
these deaths l,60S were suicides, 1883
were homicides and 1901 were accl-
dental.
"The suicidal use Of firearms has in
creased from year TO year since i9i3;
the frequency of accidental deaths due
to their use shows slight decline dur
ing recent years, and the homicidal use
OF firearms shows a decline as com
pared with 1913 and 1914, but an in
crease az compared with 1910, 1911 and
1912.

MILWAUKEE s-HouR DAY UPHELD.
City Employees and Those of Contract
ors for City, Gain Court Victory.

The validity of the Milwaukee eight
hour day ordinance, which provides that
the work day for city employees, as well
as for employees of contractors doing
city work, shall not exceed eight hours,
was upheld by the state supreme court
at Madison. The ordinance went to the
supreme court on an appeal from the
district and municipal courts, in the
case against Contractor Conrad Raulf.
Mr. Raulf was doing sewer construc-
ton work for the city on the south side
about a year ago, and was arrested
for violation of the ordinance, it having
been shown that he employed men on
the Job for longer than eight-hour pc
riods, as work days. He was found
guilty in district court. He appealed to
the municipal court, which also upheld
the ordinance. He then took his case
to the state supreme court.
Since Mr.. Rauf's arrest for violating
the ordinance, all city contractors have
been living up to the ordinance, accord
ing to the city attorneys office, and no
further trouble is anticipated.
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-11-18

against reform measure even from
those who would be most directly bene-
fitted. There are two reasons why a
man may want to work seven-day
week. First. because his wages have
been so small that he is compelled to
work; and, second, because he has be-
come so sodden on account of the sew
sn-day week that his finer sensibilities
have become so blunted that he prefers
to work seven days per week rather
than to spend one day per week with
his family or in the development of
his better self. This is one of the
strongest arguments against continuous
labor.
1t ia contended that workingman
has q right to work seven days per
week if he prefers. There is no such
thing as absolute personal liberty in a
Democracy. A man may exercise his
personal liberty only insofar as it does
not iniure someone else. The chief con-
sidcration is not the individual but
society. If working continuously is a
bad thing for the workingman himself,
for his family and for the state, then
society has right to insist that not
only shall the state be protected, but
against himself. This principle is ac-
cepted in practically every human re-
lationship.
If exemption is granted the Lacka-
wanna Steel company, other industries in
the state which are also Continuous"
will ask for similar exemption. Prob
ably fifteen per cent of all the workers
in New York state are engaged in occu-
pations requiring seven-day labor. This
would involve several hundred thousand
workers
Even tho every social and economic
argument should fail, we should still be
compelled to answer the challenge of the
decalog: "Six days shalt thou labor"
Commerce and industry must conform to
moral standards-not moral standards
to the convenience of commerce and in
dustry. The Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, repre-
santing thirty leading Protestant de-
nominations, which contain 100000 10
cal churches, having 4 membership of
nearly 100000, earnestly protests
against granting the request of the
Lackawanna Steel company, not only
upon moral and religious basis, but
for social and economic reasons. Rep
resentng the Federal Council, the writ
er made a two-days' study of the living
conditions of the steel workers in Lack
awanna, and appeared at the hearing
OF the industrial commission to argue
against the request Of the steel company.

VICTORY
BY BERTON BRALEY.

It's fun 70 fight when you know you are
right
And your heart is in it, too.
Tho the fray may be long and the foe
be strong,
And comrades you have are few.
Tho the battle heat bring but defeat,
And weariness makes you reel,
There's JOY in life that can know such
strife
And the glory and thrill you feel
When the wise ones pant that you
simply can't
It's fun for a fighting man
To laugh and try with a daring eye
And prove to the world that you can.
And If you stick till your heart is sick,
And lose when the game is done,
It's fun TO know that the weary foe
Paid dearly for what they won.
It's fun TO dare in the face of despair
When the last lone chance seems gone,
And TO see hope rise in the angry skies
Like a promise of rosy dawn;
For victory's sweet when it crowns de-
feat,
And you learn this much is true
It's fun TO fight when you know you
are right,
And your heart is in it, too.
