Is had 1t will be against the law of the
nation to strike.
Another very important measure
was taken up by the Congress and
that was resolution We adopted rec.
ommending that the Federal Govern
ment shall have control of al, corpora.
tions, so far as the issuance OF stocks
and bonds. This is to prevent any cor
poration from loading itself with Sc.
curities that are fictitious. We rec
ommend that all corporations shall
give full account of all securities,
etc, issued"
Bihsop Gailor' was chairman of the
Memphis delegation attending the
Congress and was placed on some
very important committees, one of the
most important committees upon
which the Bishop served was the COM
mittee to convey to the president the
fact that the body heartily endorsed
his plan Of legislating against strikes.
Speaking further of the situation of
the nation as regards to the labor
unions and labor, the Bishop said,
Equities are what this nation needs
more than any other one thing in the
world, and believe that this body of
business men will bring about a more
reasonable adjustment of things and
that rights of equities will have more
to do in. the future with the settlement
Of differences between capital and
labor.
The Bishop is a deep thinker and a
scholar and is giving much thought
and study to this one phase of the
worlds most perplexing questions,
and while he is studying the question,
he is not overlooking single phase
of it, He is taking it from every.
standpoint He is just in his argu-
ments, and wants every man to have
an equal showing in whatever his pur-
suit for a living takes him. The man
best qualified for the place from a
standpoint of knowledge of the partic-
ular function that he is expected to
perform, is the man that should re-
ceive the highest pay, is the way in
which the Bishop looks at the situa-
ton, and not just because man is
member of an organized union should
he receive the same money as does a
man who is his superior in every way,
