CHURCHES AWAKENING
TO SOCIAL PROBLEMS

One of llle most significant develop
ments ot the times is the awakening
of the churches to social problems and
their gradual swing from the support
of the favored classes TO their support
of industrial democracy. In it's recent
convention the Presbyterian Church of
the United States adopted the follow:
ing principles:
Fol. an acknowledgement of the obli-
cations of wealth.
For the application of Christian
principles To the conduct of Industrial
organizations.
For IL more equitable distribution of
wealth.
For tho abatement of poverty.
For the abolition of child labor.
For tlhe regulation of the conditions
of the industrial occupation of women.
For the release of every worker
from work one day in seven.
For the employment of methods of
cancellation and arbitration in indus
trial pursuits.
For tlle development of a Christian
spirit i'm the attitude of society toward
offenders against the law.

CANADIAN FARMERS FOR
UNITY WITH WORKERS

That the Canadian farmers UNDER
stand the plot of the plutocracy to
drive a wedge between the workers
and farmers and in keeping them apart
to destroy all hopes for the democratic
zat!on of government and industry. is
Indicated by the following from the
Western Independent. the official or.
gan of the organized farmers of AL

".rhe question of unity between
farmers and laborers is being used
and will he used more in future as a
means of setting these two groups In

democratic forces in the political fight.

snag is that of the eight-lour day.
Party politicians harp ON this string.
They say to the city worker that the
farmer wants eight hours hut he wants

and eight hours In the afternoon.
"Now even the eight-hour day is not
an impossible barrier between labor
and farmers. This can be solved when
the time comes. At present all that II

the two democratic groups in so far
MS interests are seen to be identical.
How far are the labor and farmers
interests identical?

Then both are seeking representation
