BIG BUSINESS CAN'T CONTROL
CHURCH

Efforts of Big Business to secure
control of the church and use it in
its drive against the workers have ut
terly failed.
The Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America, embracing
thirty-two evangelical denominations;
the National Catholic Welfare Coun-
Gil, the Methodist Episcopal Church
and the Protestant Episcopal Church
have severely condemned the open
shop movement as un-American and
un-Christian.
Pittsburgh employers boycotted the
Y. w c. A. when it approved a pro-
gresive social and economic program
and served notice on all religious
bodies that they must maintain a
neutral zone" in industrial matters.
The Pittsburgh Ministerial Union re-
buked this attempted coercion in the
following language:
"We deny to any political, COM
mercial industrial or any other group
or agency the right to set up any
restrictions on the freedom of the
Christian church or its agencies to
apply the spirit and standards of the
Kingdom of God to the whole of life,
and we declare it our solemn duty and
purpose to defend this liberty of the
Gospel"

them a second shock by filing with the
Ohio State Public Utilities Commits
sion a new schedule of freight rates
which provides for 20 per cent re-
duction between points on his line.
The new rates to become effective

APPEAR IN TRUE COLORS

1t is reported that at recent meet
ing of the "open shop" contingent of
the Newark Manufacturers Associa-
ton it was decided that no wages ex-
ceeding thirty cents an hour would be
paid for employees hired in the future,
and in some instances the sum would
be under that amount. This action
on the part of the advocates of the
American plan" reveals these self
appointed friends of labor in their
true colors and proves them to be
veritable Shylocks, ready to demand
labor to work for starvation wages
in order that they and their families
may live in ease and luxury.
