 The corporation has largely taken the place of the farm. Our complex industrial fabric ard economic life pro vide the bases of life support. There is d premium upon intelligence in the of the worlds work. Those who are equal to the solution of the problems of industrial treatment must of necessity, guide and administer the machine. But the humDlest toll is an absolute necessity, and hon. orable, and should provide m itself ad- equate compensations for it's labor and also an opportunity for individual The relations of the cor porate organization to it's toiling units should be as just and fair as is nature itself in it's rewards for toil.
 These higher considerations are not utopian dream, but practical and utilitarian necessity. We all live to- gether and are members one of an other. The body economic and body petite must learn how to expunge the poisons hostile to it's life
 The higher science of cur time is conducting an hygienic investigation into it's social evils Even as the labor atory of the nature forces is being en- tered, it's laws ascertained and it's facts classified for human use. so the great laboratory of the organism of human life is undergoing the same analysis, in order to take account of it's factors and laws for human better ment and development. The gross sins of avarice, of selfishness, or hate. of dissipation and waste, are undergoing classification, in order to get at their elimination. These evils are destruc- tive in their very nature. The wisdom of our time demands a corrective for them No organization either on the part of labor or of corporate finance and skill, has any right to foster or employ any of these destructive agen- cles to the furtherance of it's ends. The whole community suffers when these destroying forces are employed
 It IS Tor this reason, and most justly that the government is stepping in We have had ample evidence Of the danger 10 all government when these GlsrupilVe and destructive forces are permitted to have play. The purpose of government is to administer righteous ness. Insofar as it does so, it is the itW ot God among men. The basal scheme or righteousness is to provide the means and opportunity for the highest individual development. in it's le4atlon and service to the uDbuilding ana llfe or the common whole in which It's own life is nurtured. It is pro- loundly Tor this reason that the world coh1lct is now onto end the old gross slhs oI the past, it's hate its coercion. US selilsnnesS, its avarice, it's tyranny Among the nations now engaged in the struggle, there are being defined new conceptions and obligations to each other. The bitter evils that. plunged the world into war are self destructive. Iheir weapons are being turned into ther own vitals. The law of progress. winch means ultimate divine aseen- dency, requires that these deadly hin- dfances 10 advancement must be de- stroyed Men are finding he signifi canoe of true brotherhood They will come to peace only as they are pledged to respect each other in mutual inde- pendence and in mutual rights and ser vice. For this cause the great Amer ican republic has entered the conflict In the process, it's own. inherent evils will come up for elimination. It must purge itself of it's own wrongs, even as the other nations are now doing, iT order to join with the family of na- tions ,o rear new understandings anC agreements enacted ito law that are made to keep the common peace 0 the ful therance of righteous ends.
 No corporation has the right to use duplicity and coercion for the destruc- tion of organized labor. The blacklist is often unjust, and sometimes damnable As the life cells Of the human organism are bound together iTa muscular ana nerve and brain tissue to carry out thu will of the individual, so the labol crafts are essential when founded 1T just and righteous principlesf, to th' encouragement of their members fol ] the highest efficiency and service | They are more than protective. The. represent the motive power of tn
 world. These organizations are to b | conserved for the common good o | their members. Labor should becom ! as exact and scientific in man-powe l and efficiency as is the method tha marshals it into action. When labo rises to the height of invention am l intellectual scientific precision in tn i necessary direction of corporate wOr ! it should be as carefully safeguarde as any necessary function of life [ Without it, the motive power could nc be performed. All labor is graded ac 1 cording to the quality of it's functio 1 and necessity.
 On the other hand, labor has n
 right to force undesirable or inefficien
 men, who are disturbing factors an
 trouble makers, upon any corporal | administration. No amount of com hined force can hold up a man wh
 can hold up man who chooses to dis sipate his energies and chest his em ployer with incidence or play th
 stacker. Nor has any labor organize
 tion any right to undertake to deba
 efficient and conscientious men, Wh
 are faithful in their work, from
 suitable place in the industrial orsaT
 ism. The law of the land, and it's cor
 stitution guarantees to every citize
 the right to free movement and Tiff
 liberty and the pursuit of happiness : whether he be "scab" or a union ma It IS the presumption and sin of uniol ism to assume itself greater authorit than the constitution of the Unite . States, in undertaking to dicta whether man shall have the right earn his daily bread or not, on u basis of whether or no he belongs
 the union.
 This dictatorial assumption of al thority is in essence rebellion again , the guarantees of our form of go' 1 ernment, and is as certainly a usurpil of the righteous law of God himse t Any principles of unionism that are n
 sufficiently attractive to win to then , selves the support of free men are n
 worthy of allegiance Furthermol 5 such support and allegiance can
