Labor Sunday will be observed in
Keokuk by the Trades and Labor AS.
sembly with special services in West
Keokuk park, with the Rev. ]. e. Cum
mings of the Second Presbyterian
church and George w. Potts of Fort
Madison as the speakers The meet
ling was arranged for by the Rev. Mr..
Cummings and committee from the
Trades and Labor Assembly.
The purpose of Labor Sunday Is,
explained in the following, which was
taken from Labor, the official mouth
piece of the national organizations:
/ CAS- though it sought to answer the
recent efforts of big business to pre-
vent the publication of the survey of
the steel industry and bring about
the breakdown of the machinery of
the mterchurch World Movement, the
commission on church and social ser
vice of the Federal Council of Church
es of Christ in America has issued
stirring call to protestant clergymen,
! in which it is declared that 'the
church cannot allow itself to be
estopped from its course either by
pressure from reactionary employers
on the one hand or by the evils in the
labor movement on the other"
! 1.-THE council has issued a pastoral
letter in which it is urged that minis
tiers devote Labor Sunday (September
1. to the presentation of the true
/ basis of the economic conflict and
point out the inevitable consequences
/ of failure to deal with it intelligently.
The first essential to a permanent so
luton is recognition of the right of
workers to organize and bargain col
ilectively. Vigorous condemnation of
the so-called ''open-shop" campaign is
a feature of this document
/ "The church, the council states, can
not remain aloof from the controver-
isy. AT whatever risk of becoming
involved, it must go into the midst of
| the contending forces"
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-09-01
Church Cannot Hesitate.

| "On the subject of organization and
the open shop" the letter says: eff
no form of labor organization is per-
mitted and if not only strikes, but la
Dor Organization itself is fought to a
finish, there appears no way out Of
out troubles, but rather a deepening
of them. We shall have an autocratic
management of industry on the one
side, and either kind of serfdom on
the other or militant, bitter and
iclass-conscious organization of labor
growing yearly more revolutionary.
That is just the danger of the pres
ent hour.
'The church. cannot be hesitant
here. When, as many often happen,
the inclusiveness of it's fellowship
precludes corporate judment on the
part of the whole church, the pulpit
must nevertheless be true to it's pro-
phetic office. The case is hopeless
If employers will not allow collective
action by their workers. The church
must stand for the right of organiza-
ton and collective action, under prop
er ethical restraints and safeguards
for public welfare. 1t must do SO not
only for prudential reasons and be-
cause it is right, but because the man
hood and freedom of the workers are
at stake"

Industrial Life is Wronu,

Discussing industry in general
terms, it is stated that our industrial
life has been built on wrong and un-
Christian foundations. The Golden
Rule, it is said, must be substituted
as controlling motive or the doc
trine of competitive struggle.
THE law Of struggle has pitted en-
ployer against employe, corporation
against corporation, nation against ma
ton. 1t was responsible for the great
war, with its gigantic economic and
human losses. 1t has pitted capitalist
and employer against the workers and
threatens another cataclysm and at
least the temporary shattering of civil
lizatiOn. The workers have not been
considered first of all as human
beings, with families and children,
men to be given opportunities, to be
helped to selfexpression, to be inspir-
ed by large rewards, but as part of a
mechanism, terrible, powerful, won
derful mechanism which on the whole
has worked them hard, shifted them,
often reduced technical skill acquired
by years of training to unskilled work
by the creation of complex machines.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-09-01
Church Has Been NeaIectful.

THE workers have been subjected
to unemployment, millions of them to
shifting places of abode-and millions
of them, their wives and their chill
dren, have until lately lived on the
borderland of poverty. Many of
them, in spite of generous wage ad-
vances, are still perilously near the
poverty line. They have been forced
to be selfish with their children, their
homes have been unattractive, they
could not pay their way in the church
and the church has neglected them
more than it realizes"
THE remedy for these conditions,
according to the council, is human
system that shall give the workers
opportunity for self-expression, recog-
milton of their manhood and self-pro-
lection, with a chance to put their
thought and power into action pro-
ductively, and which will give to
