"The capitalist without Christ
grinds the face of the poor" said the
Rev. Mr.. Schiek. "The laborer with
out Christ becomes dishonest, intoler-
ant, hateful of all supervision.
Through Christ alone can the chasm
be bridged. Make therefore the Christ
the partner of your life's work Let
Him be more than just an honorary
or silent partner. Let Him have the
deciding vote"
"In every public park these should
be sculptured group idealizing the
dignity and worth of the laborer, that
we, as well as the coming generations,
may not forget what we owe to those
who by sweat of their faces feed,
clothe and shelter u.s." said the Rev.
w. r. Wilson.
Without this vast and worthy
group of toilers the permanency and
progress of our civilization would be
at an lend; our ships would lie rotting
in the harbors, our railroads would
be slowly eaten by rust, our factories
would be but empty tombs; famine
and pestilence would stalk abroad
everywhere. Back of everything we
use is this great group of inconspicu-
Gus toilers who make these things
possible for us, and it is only fitting
that one day in the year should be
given to the men and women who
toll.
In the heart of Christianity there
rests the doctrine of the sacredness
of human personality" he continued,
"and, if the church as organized
Christianity is to keep sacred this
great principle, she must continue to
demand for the toilers steady employ
ment, without exploitation, but at a
living wage which will permit the full
est development of the normal family
life under the most favorable con-
ditions. Economic life under any
other condition is unsound and un-
just"

evolution of industrial processes" he
continued. ''Their fortunes and we'll
being depend upon their opportunity
for steady employment. Their in
terest transcends the material inter
ests of the employers, because life
itself, and all that the word life i'm
plies, depends upon the earning power
of the wage Garner"
Increasing complexities of modern
industrial life make it more neces-
sary than ever before for workers in
all lines of industry to turn to the
organizations of labor for guidance
and protection, he continued.
Workers Alive to Industry's Changes
"They are conscious of the fact that
their salvation lies in their economic
strength and their collective action
and influence" he said. 'The officers
and members of organized labor are
not unmindful of the industrial
changes that are taking place They
are shaping their policies to cope
constructively with each new situa-
ton that may arise"
Age-old theories of wages have been
exploded by the declaration of the
American Federation of Labor, point
ed out Mr. Green. Organized work
ers have boldly proclaimed that high
wages and increased efficiency con-

costs.
eve hold" he declared, ''that the
buying power of the producer must
keep pace with his constantly increas-
ing power of production. Today in
dustrial managers are using scientific
means of lower production costs in
stead of resorting to reduction in
wages. The pronouncement of the
American Federation of Labor upon
the subject and theory of wages has
become SO universally accepted in
America that it is now reasonably
certain that there will be no general
reduction in wages.
"The whole tendency of wages is
upward instead of downward. AS the
wage earners continue to earn decent
wages, and as long as their buying
power is not restricted by lower wage
standards, we can feel assured that
prosperity will become an established
fact"
u. S. Must Remain High Wage Nation
The United States, he continued,
must remain a high wage country.
The living standards that have been
built up in the years of the past will
not permit lowering of wage rates.
'The industrial supremacy of the
United States must ever depend upon
the efficiency and producing power of
American wage earners, rather than
upon low wages and low living stand
ards" he declared.
Turning to the proposition of hours
of work, he said that any attempt to
iengthen the hours of employment,
whether in the United States or else
where, will be met with the opposi-
tion of the moral and economic forces
of the world.
People Must Have Leisure

portunity for the recuperation of

served by appropriate sermons in sew
eral Chicago churches. The Rev.
Willis Ray Wilson, pastor of the Park
Center nj. E. Church, and the Rev.
M. J. Schiek, pastor Of the Emmanuel

New York City.-The 40-hour, five
day week has been established by
agreement in the cap industry with an
embargo of the union and the Hat and
Cap Manufacturers Association
against any contractor failing to
maintain a union shop. A wage in
crease of So week and a 81 increase
every six months until June 80, 1928,
is provided for.
The agreement affects 5000 work
ers and was made through arbitration
after five weeks strike had been
called off and is accepted by 200 out
of $50 contractors in the industry.
The signal success of the union was
emphasized by the position taken by
the wholesalers that union standard
and union agreement benefited the
industry. 1t is this which makes the
success of the cap makers a general
tribute to the principles of organized
labor In making the announcement

they were used simply. here IRON copper, tin,

combined to make bronze That about all
Now industry has many metals 1t has also
an almost infinite range OF combinations and harden

Queer things happen when metals are mixed. Tin

There dozens of other where two metals

Often the addition of little of one metal will work
miracle in another. Now ways are being found all
