That the government mas placed
the rail strike ahead of the coal

there was no longer any doubt The

Unsuccessful termination of

The Church League
Opposes Open Shop
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-Public challenge by the
church to the capitalists behind the
"open shop" drive in Chicago has
been issued by the Church League
for Industrial Democracy in a half
page advertisement in the daily press,
signed by the Rev. Richard W. Hogue,
executive secretary, 800 S. Halsted st.
DAILY and copiously the public is
being fed with stories of the crimes
of labor the church league says.
"On all sides organized labor is be-
ing indicted for the occasional acts
of men made desperate in the strug-
gle for primary human rights.
Labor is not free from men who
are bad and corrupt. But are there
none such among those holding posi-
tions of security and wealth? 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that
there are.
"Why then are not both sides in
vestigated in Chicago as they have
been through Mr.. Untermyer and the
Lockwood committee in New York :?
Several million American workers
stand deprived of the right to labor
for the support of their families.
Their need has been capitalized by
powerful forces of selfshness, with
their open boast that we intend to
have labor eating out of our hands.
Their power reaches from the latest
lockout to the nationwide Open Shop
Movement which even Mr.. Taft con-
demned as a 'deceitful misuse of
terms
"Reactionary forces are in power.
"Resolutions without action are
valueless and meaningless. They
must be emphasized by pulpits, up
held by corporate action, eXemplified
in the private and public relations Of
protesting Christians. To this end
the Church League for Industrial
Democracy has been organized.
Supported entirely by voluntary
contributions it is seeking to stand
by what the church stands for in the
matter of social justice.
