LABoR's LOST TIME.

remain away from employment every
day in the year because Of illness is
100000, or a total Of 345,0o0,OOo

that in 1919 in all industries $4,000
fatal accidents occurred; about $751;
900 non-fatal accidents causing dis

100000 accidents caused at least one

duration Of the 1899 strikes. was "a
days. IF every striker in 1919 lost 81
days, then the 3,950,411 strikers lost
a total of 134,s13,974 days. work.
This would be less than 40 per cent
of the days lost by illness.
There are. therefore, more than gu
per cent more days lost by illness in
the ye4r than by strikes, and during
the: years 1920 and 1921 the strike
figures were reduced.
From these figures it is plain that
the; loss Of time due, to strikes is ap-
,proximately one-half of that due to
accidents and one-third Of that due
to industrial sickness and about one.
fifth OF that due to both accidents
and sickness.

THEY LISP PRETTY WORDS.


At their recent meeting in Phila-
delphia the stockholders Of the PEN
nsylvania railroad declared for that
reasonable intelligent understanding
and accord between employees and
managers, railroad and public,
which is essential for happy rela-
tons, constructive action and best
results
This string Of words has been
;"played up by every newspaper
trained seal who ignores this rail-
roads defiance of law md moral
right, and which is backd UP by a
federal injunction.
The railroad labor board has ruled
that when this railroad established
it's company union it refused
trade union employees voice in the
election. The railroad has been
ordered to hold a new election, but
this has. not been done.
TO stop the railroad labor board
from making public the facts in this
and other cases, the railroad secured
an order from Federal Judge Lands,
last December, prohibiting the board
from issuing their statement. This
injunction is still in effect.

FUNDAMENTAL CHRISTIAN Principles
APPLIED TO PRODUCTIVE INDUSTRY

The executive Council OF the Min
nesota State Federation T Of Labor
at Its recent. quarterly meeting re.
affirmed the following fundamental
principles applied to, productive in
dustry. This action was taken upon
the request of some ofzthe leading
Echurchmen believing that, the time
had come when some. definite. stand
must be taken by the employer: the
employe and the Church. and we
belive that If these principles can be
carried out in all lines of activity
many Of the big problems Of life
will have been solved.
The foundation upon which all
human activity must be Embedded. If
there is to be peace, prosperity, and
believe: that If these principles can be
happiness on the earth is the appli-
cation Of: Christian principles. The
practical application of these prin-
ciples is what the people Of this earth
are waiting and longing for.
The principles of Jesus Christ, II
applied to every: phase Of human
life, private and associated, would
solve. every problem of human rela.
tionships in the world.
The. Gospel of Jesus Christ is the
most practical plan that even the In
finite mind Of God himself could
invent for the greatest happiness
progress, welfare, and prosperity OF
all men in, every private and asso-
ciated life of man on earth. 1t fits
perfectly every part Of this life. &C.
cording to its design. e..
The only practical Brotherhood OF
Man is that based on the Father
hood of God under the leadership OF
the Spirit Of Jesus Christ. This only
can bring peace on earth, good will
to man." '~.
The Golden Rule is the chief ac-
tive principle for the guidance of
the members Of the Brotherhood of
Man, and is applicable to all human
relationships. ..
From these, four Christian funda-
mentals perfectly logical system
Of principles can be formulated, one

which she has been caught by her
family-that she; is the secret and
happy wife Of the young man. The
scene in which Franklin, the sup
posed husband, takes charge OF the
situation and decides to teach Bea-
trix a lesson is one Of the most de-.
lightful: pieces Of stage writing that
has been, watched in decades.
