FRATERNALiSM IN
 BUSINESS IS URGED
 BY CHURCH BOARD

CHICAGO, May 19-More fra tcrnalism in industrial and business life was recommended by the Com mission on Social Reconstruction of the Unitarian General Conference in a report made public today. The Commission was appointed at the recent Unitarian Conference in Bal timore and in it's report has drawn up statement of principles on which it's members believe social re- construction should be based.
 The statement declared that all concerned in industry, the manager, the producer and the consumer are partners and that the community has right to insist that the indus try be carried on not for the sole benefit of an yof the partners but in the interest of all. It did not at tempt to prescribe any single form If industrial organization. It rec commended that the hours of labor should be reduced to the lowest point compatible with adequate produc- ton but qualified this statement by addin gthat in the present emer- gency the world needs a maximum production.
 The Commission recommended that the right to be recognized of both industry and labor to organize free ly and bargain collectively. It as- serted that all wage eadners have right to a wage sufficient to support their families in health and comfort It demlared that much industrial unrest is caused by poverty and that a great deal of poverty could be eliminated by better distribution of workers, control of immigration, ancouragement of thrift, encourage ment of investing and managing ability and by providing funds for home building.
 Laws were recommended providing for increased taxation of land val ues, with the purpose of bringing into use land held for speculative purposes as to promote home build ing; for the development of a grad uated inheritance tax and income taxes and also legislation for the control of monopoly prices.
 Among the ideals set forth by the Commission were the raising of edu- ,ational standards, universal oppor' tunity for education, campaign against such diseases as tuberculosis prevention of exploitation of child labor, segregation of the feeble minded in institutions and social in' surance.
 The Commission also set forth as an ideal. the creation of machinery by which governments can be demo cratically controlled and made re- ,ponsive to the public will. It also suggested a world federation oi peopes based on mutual abrogation of special concessions and mutual obligation of general service"
 The report was signed by the following: c. w. Reese Chicago chairman; George R. bod on, St. Louis: Sarl C. Davis, Lancaster, Pa; c. s. s. Sutton, San Francisco; Ar thur Morgan, Dayton; R. C. Dexter Atlanta; and s. P Wethcrall, Jr.t Philadelphia.
