CLAIMS CHURCH
MUST TAKE UP
LABOR'S FIGHT

Chicago.-The church can no long
er keep away from the issues OF
right and justice in the industrial
world, Prof. John H. Gray Of Carlton
college, North Field, Mimi, said to-
day in an address before the National
conference of the Methodist church.
in speaking on christianity and Eco
nomic Order"
If the church remains neutral il be-
comes the representative of the small,
powerful class and ceases to have
any influence with the mass of man.
kind he said. "The church has been
the strongest agency for right and
justice and in no other agency is there
any hope today.
"Unionism has been banished from
the steel and oil industries and with
it the right of assembly and free
speech. These rights are fundamen-
tai if labor is to defend itself. Today
the combined interests are making an
effort to drive unionism from the rail-
roads and coal mines and in fact all
other industries.
Glass war is as destructive as in
ternational militarism. If exploita-
ton is to be checked social control
must be exercised over industry. The
antitrust laws have proved futile.
There has been no shortening of the
working hours for steel mill employees
and in most cases the twelve hour day
still prevails. The workers want more
wages, more schools and more church
es, but their souls cry out for justice.
Preaching the Gospel falls on deaf
ears"

Cooperation is sanity; economic
competition Is madness. And some

This it proceeds to do, not in the
competitive sense of business, but
through movement so wide and de

of the world to join it irrespective Of
race, religion, or social standing, and

an exploited class. Ii desires that all

greater is the success. This Is the

''ONE BIG UNION"
PLAN Is VOTED
"UNTHINKABLE'

Cleveland, 0hio-0ne big union adj
voeates were as silent as the proven
bal clam when officers of the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Workers
union reported to the convention that
an amalgamation of the needle trades
is practically unthinkable."
By unanimous vote the convention
agreed TO continue a needle alliance
formed two years ago. The conven-
tion wasted no time on so-called
''lefts," who felt the heavy hand of
trade union discipline. This discip-
line made poor atmosphere" for sky
shooters, who saw some of their asso-
ciates unseated because of professe1
belief in communism, for slandering
officials, and for other anti-union
practices.
The plea for freedom of opinion"
was answered by the claim that "this
! Is a gathering of trade unionists, and
we want no divided allegiance"
Before this iron discipline tire "soap
box delegates were forced to give
way to those who treated with facts
In reporting on the temporary for
nation of a needle trades alliance,
two years ago, officers of the garment
workers said that in answer at that
time to the suggestion for amalgama-
ton:
Our delegates pointed out that
such an amalgamation would be a
practical impossibility; they argued
that the various needle trades are SO
distinctly different from one another
that an amalgamation of them is
practically unthinkable. Their work
seasons are different, their labor con-
ditions are markedly different, and
the problems of one industry are oft
en- not even understood by the work.
ers in the other industries"
President Schlesinger was re-elect-
ed. The "lefts" made so many claims
that he would be defeated that he
drove them into the open by demand
ing a standing vote on the motion
that the secretary cast one vote for
his reelection. The opposition re-
corded Ia votes, mostly girl delegates
from eastern waist shops who were
attending their first convention. The
same method was used in the re-elec-
ton of Secretary Baroff, who has
been the special target for the "lefts."
He secured all but three votes.
The conventions attitude took all
the fight out of the "lefts," who dis
covered they can no longer use their
trade union for communistic propa-
ganda, and that they will henceforth
be called upon to prove their charges
when they attack officials.

COOPERATIVE MEAT MARKETS
SHOW PROFITS

The Star Cooperative Meat and
Provision Company, founded by the
Minneapolis Meat Cutters Union after
a lockout agar ago, shows a net
profit of $3,515.55 for the first year
of its existence. From this savings
the retail customers have received a
dividend of Sc, restaurant patronage

tai invested.
Out in San Bernardino, California,
the Union Cooperative Society, which
runs the most modern meat market
and grocery in the city, has just paid
out $500 in dividends to its custom
ers, the largest individual dividend
check being $23.65, and the smallest
Soc. The San Bernardino co-opera-
tors, like those in Minneapolis, are
cutting the cost of meat by paying
profits to themselves.

PROFTTEERING IN
COAL CAUSE OF
HIGH PRICES

chicago.-Proiteering brokers and
panicky consumers are responsible
for the high price of coal, j. G. Brad
ley, president of the National Coal
association, said on his arrival here
to attend the organizations annual
convention today.
All talk of a coal shortage is
fictitious and merely propaganda to
persuade the public to buy at higher
prices.
THE public does not know the true
situation. Coal is being mined faster
than il is being consumed and an
even greater quantity could be mined
if necessary"

the aid of this court, must come into
it with clean hands, and
Equity must never be used to cur
tail personal rights"
One of the conditions connected
with practically all of the iniunctiops
issued by our American courts is that
the plaintiff employer does not come
into court with clean hands. In most
instances, the employer has been the
aggressor. He has reduced wages,
enforced obnoxious and injurious
shop rules. He has acted in concert
with other employers for the purpose
of destroying the trade-union. He
has struck the first blow. He has
been the aggressor and as such, under
the well established equity rule, he is
not entitled to a hearing in a court of
equity, or to the protection of an in
junction.
Furthermore, the injunctions issued
by our American courts have grown
into an infringement of personal
rights. This latter subject will be
considered in separate article.

THE HUMAN NEED

Cooperation rests on the simple
principle that we human beings need
one another.
In our present state of society in
which competition for profit is the
main economic force, this need is ex-
pressed in two ways. There is a bad
and good--a negative and a positive
sense.
The negative means the contending
of one force against another. The
merchant needs customers, the manu-
facturer needs labor, the prosecuting
attorney needs criminals, the soldier
needs enemies. These are engaged in
the balancing of accounts in the game
of give-and-take; and in this barter
and matching of forces there arises a
desire to gain more than one gives,
to win, to succeed, to get ahead Of
the other.
The positive, or good, expression of
this human need is the cooperative.
We human beings need one another;
we need not only to be helped by
others but we need to help others in
order that We ourselves may rise to
the highest fulfilment of life.
There is an ancient falsehood, still
quite prevalent on the lips of men to-
day, which declares that it is natural
and good for men to fight one anoth-
err; that to try to get the better of
ones fellow-man is a fulfilment Of q
primitive natural impulse; and that
man has attained his high position by
the exploitation of others. This phil
osophy, that the domineering and
brutal have survived and the gentle
and kind have persisted, based on an
unscientific theory of evolution, is
neither in conformity with the facts
of history nor the established prin-
ciples of biology. These negative ex-
pressions the antagonisms-have
dragged man down, not lifted him up.
IL has been by mutual aid that he has
lifted himself. The precious heritage
of the ages has been the thing at
tanned and preserved by cooperation
and love. 1t is not true--as a human
being | resent the slander--that man
is hostile to man.
The dominant natural tendency is
to be kind and sympathetic and help
full Were this not so the human race
long since would have persisted.
War is one of these negative things.
1t is an outcome of artificial compel
tive enterprises of man against man.
1t is an unnatural creation brought
about by antagonists which have
their beginnings in the competition
of one set of men to secure privil-
eyed domination over another set of
men. This artifiee is by no means a
Prussian invention. The old wars
weer plain expressions of robbery
Later wars We're provoked by relig-
ious bodies. Modern wars are for
economic gain. But back of all wal
has been the unnatural madness of
the robber; and robbery has been the
purpose. Modern wars have been pro.
voked by the robber spirit which a
competitive economic system has
caused to grow in the hearts of men
as a rank poison unbalancing the
helpful mind. The mill owner who
feeds raw material and human beings
to his machines and grinds out profits
! is the father of the colonel who feeds
