who spoke at the Young Mems

Lincoln Park yesterday afternoon.
Three centuries of American
history cry to US, like the sound
of many waters, to be faithful to
the American ideals and institu-
tions that have grown out of the
spirit of 'I6' and of 1920. This is
good time to make an honest and
SEARCHING inquiry as to what
! America and American and
'AmericaRizatioH' really mean. Let
US take note they do not mean
South America, or South American.
or South AmericaRization. Why
not?
The president Of one OF the
South American republics said to
an American visitor, after a long
period of silent thought: why is
it that North America is so much
more advanced in civilization than
South America, whose natural re-
sources are as rich?' The Amer
iCan modestly referred the question
back to the president who said:
! believe it is because the Span
iards came seeking gold and pleas

this MayfioWer year is the lust for
gold and pleasure in our own land
crowding. back the Pilgrim spirit

Let us take note that the Amer
lean spirit has outlawed a dozen
great evils in the onward march
of these centuries, namely: piracy,
duelling. slavery, polygamy, prosti-
tuition, pugilism, the lottery, race
gambling. the saloon. habit drugs,
autoeracy, bolshevism- All these
are generally condemned in Amer
lean laws. They are dead or dying.

oficial who applies, the pulmotor to

Church Is Friend of Both
Employees and Employers,
Declared the Rev. F. E.
Johnson, in an Address
Before the Petworth M.
E. Congregation.

In Labor Day address delivered
yesterday morning at the Pctwortn
NJ. Z. Church. the Rev. +. Ernest
Johnson social service secretary OF
the Federal Churches OF Christ in
America. asserted that the church
has no particular Industrial philos-
ophy to promuIgate and no scheme
to exploit.
We have merely looked out over
the industrial world and We have
seen employers trying with vary
ing degrees Of skill and success
TO apply in their shops the prinCi-
pals of the Sermon on the Mount
We have seen others, sadly nu-
merOus company, who were making
no visible effort in that direction
The church has been telling what
it has seen, and has tIicd to give
moral support To those employers
who are eRdCaVuring to humanlze
industry. This support has been
eagerly welcomed. and ! want Ia
say that We lind no more encour-
aging factor in the industrial sit
uation than those employers who
are seriously. and with moral Wis
ion, working out these humane
problems in their own way.
The only alternative 10 organ
lied cooperation, based on good
will, is armed strife. The enemy
Of constitutional government is
equally dangerous whether in in
dustry or in politics. Whether he
is soap-box orator or the general
manager OF a corporation makes
no difference.
Il was asked in the president
office of one of the greatest Coz
pOrations in America: IF we don't
prevent organization of our en-
ployes, who is going to run our
business" | said: If you put it on
that basis there is no question
about who will run it in the end
! There are more of them than OF
you
The reliance of labor upon tho
strike as the method Of securing

analysis unethicaL The strike can
be tolerated only so long as the
community fails to make adequate
provision for guarding the in

at its best is a form of warfare

placed by the methods of Constitu-
tiOnal government"

Capital and Labor Must
Work Together for the
Good of All, Declared the
Rev. David Ransom Co.
veil in an Address at Trim
ity Episcopal Church.

The man who works with his
brain is as much a laborer as the
man who works with his hands.
said the Rev. David Ransom COvcll
in an address yesterday morning in
Trinity Episcopal Church.
Many inVidious distinctions have
crept into our discussion of the
problem of labor. But on this
Labor Day let us really reach a
comprehension of the fact that
labOrers and capitalists are twin
servants of our common life Let
us stop this strife of labor and
capital and this talk about such
strife. Let US talk little more OF
our obligations and little less OF
our rights.
The birth of organized labor is
obscure. 1t seems always to have
been, even as it seems to us that
Christ always existed in human
flesh. Capital has prosecuted labor
and tried, sometimes with UnwhOle-
some success, to enslavc it. 1t has
robbed labor Of it's just profits. took
its strength, and gave in return 4
mere pittanCe, a tiny dole for sub
SiStcnCe.
On the other hand. capita
when under pressure Instituted Z
welfare work, so-called. putting ir
rest and recreation rooms, gymna'
Sums and so forth. But this was
done to speed up production and
was frankly just a paying invest
meRt. Ii had to pay dollar divi-
dend to be retained, although some
capitalists might have taken pride
in the appearance of their labOrerS
as in the polish of their automO-
biles. But the invidious distinC'
tion between capital and labor Will
l think, soon be a thing of the
past.
1T is necessary for capital ano
labor to see that they are merely
the arms of the same giant, ano
only hurt themselves and the whole
body by pulling and tearing at one
another. Since the war has taugh'
US what interdepe ndency is. how
can anyone fail to see that strife
between these different kinds oi
work men is a fight that is bound
to fail. because defeat for either
side will sooner or later harm both.
