Editor of The Congregationalist
IN the lessons which we have been
4 recently studying concerning the
period of the restoration of the
Jewish people to Palestine after the
exile in Babylon, we have had en-
phasized the part played by the dis
covery of the Book of the Law and
instruction of the people by COM
petent teachers in the great ideals
/ expressed in their literature.
The use of law and literature,
however, depend upon the spirit and
intelligence with which that use is
made. Literature is an expression
of thought and of feeling. The bet
ter and greater it is, the more truly
inspired, the more inevitably does
1t come out of great spiritual con-
victions.
When, however, the writing in
which these great convictions have
become expressed becomes to those
of a later day largely formal, read
and interpreted in the letter with
little regard to the spirit that origin
ally called it into being, the law
and literature that, properly used
have given inspiration and help, be-
come a barrier to real progress.
The Quibbling of Scribes
Here in this New Testament les
son we come at once in contact with
this limitation of law and literature
/ in their false use to stifie freedom
and initiative in thought and action
Where the scribes of a former day
| had interpreted the law in terms
of glowing moral convictions, some
of these ScribeS of a later period
made the law through their quib-
bling a stultifying influence upon
moral and spiritual life. When
Jesus came. speaking with great di-
rectneSs concerning the fundamen-
tai truths by which men must live,
asserting these things upon the
authority of truth itself, the scribeS
Immediately brought to bear upon
him the letter Of the law.
The particular scribe in the les
son may, of course, have asked his
question concerning the first of all
the commandments with some sin
certify. Whatever may have been
his motive. he gave Jesus occasion
to, enunciate with great clearnesS
what he regarded as the sum and
substance of. religion.
A similar passage in Matthew %
sets this forth with somewhat more
precision than in the passage in
Mark chosen for our lesson. There,
in Matthews account of the matter,
we have the record of the two great
commandments as stated by Jesus
with the added comment ION these
two commandments hang all the
law and the prophets Considering
that the law and the prophets" in
cluded for the Jew the whole Of the
Old Testament Scriptures, that was
simply a Jewish way Of saying
these commandments constitute
the whole sum and substance OF
religion"

1t IS to be noted that Jesus place:
as the first of these great command
ments the duty of love to God, anc

USE OF LOBBY
CASH To- CHIEF
PROBE QUERY
Senator CaraWay Believes
Inquiry Should Aim to
Find Corruption.

BIZ ScriDDs-Hoicdrd Newspaper Aliionce
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The pos
sibly corrupt expenditure of the mil
lions of dollars annually contributed
for lobbying at the capital should
be the chief objective of the sena-
torial committee to be appointed to
investigate Hobbies and lobbyists, in
the opinion of Senator Caraway of
Arkansas, sponsor of the inquiry.
Il don't care so much where the
money comes from" said Caraway,
although We can save the Ameri-
can people from being mulcted OF
millions and business interests from
spending money needlessly. What
I want to know is where 1t goes.
Who gets it, what does he do with
it and can he affect legislation?
THE money often comes from the
gullible, as it did in the case of the
shipbuilders, and it is passed on to
an individual, like Shearer. But
the great question is where 1t is
finally deposited
Small Hobbies Important
Caraway and Senator Norris will
appoint the investigating body.
Though the major Hobbies will be the
tariff, tax, Muscle Shoals, Army and
Navy, peace and war power and i'm
migration groups that seek special
favors or legislation. there are small
er bodies that will come under
scrutiny.
THE lesser known lobibes are as
important as the big ones" said
Caraway. Those headed by men like
Joseph S. Grundy, have semblance
of interets in their work. But the
workers for special bills, the adj
vocates of selfish legislation, are the
ones who create a public impress
sion that their government and their
legislators are daily bought and sold
over the counter"

YELLOW DOG
Lovers Attack StabiliZing
Coal Bill

Washington.--Coa operators who
oppose the Watson bill to stabilize
this industry are more interested in
their yellow dog" control over work
ers, Henry Warrum, counsel for
United Mine Workers, told the senate
committee on interstate commerce.
Railroad managers and retail coal
dealers are also attacking the bill.
The proposal is depicted as "uncon-
stitutional, confiscatory and un-Amer-
lean" by frenzied flag wavers.
Mr.. Warrum reminded the senate
committee that coal owners not only
admit their industry is in bad shape,
but some of them declare it is ''hope-
less"
"And yet" continued the labor at
torney, sit remains for the workers
to present a remedy No one will say
our proposal is perfect, but it is a
step in the right direction. Opposi-
ton of coal owners and their allies is
based on the fact that it would emo
their yellow dog system, under which
they dominate the lives of workers. y

THE FIVE-DAY WEEK

The fve-day week will be realized
lust as soon as the country can be
made to see that it is an economic
necessity and not merely boon TO
labor. 1t is neither idle nor vision
ary to anticipate that the year 1929
will witness this great forward step
in human progress accomplished.
The time is propitious; and where is
there country other than the United
States as we'll prepared to assume
leadership in a matter so vital at
once both to the physical welfare and
the economic well-being of its entire
people?
Our most gifted economists tell US
the United States suffers because Of
over-production and under-consump-
ton. The statesmen on Capitol Hill
have accepted this diagnosis, and they
can find no other. Patriots and poll-
ticians are cropping as in the dark
for remedy. In this exigency and in
all good faith labor solemnly offers
the suggestion of a five-day week as
the best, and probably the only, means
by which the situation can be cor
rected.
How will the fve-day week act as
curative? In many ways. Obvious
~ by wiping out the unemployment
problem, and thereby increasing the
number of wage earners, and by in
creasing consumption and thereby re-
ducing the danger of prosperity-kili-
ing surpluses.
President t-elect Hoover in the cam
paign last fall emphasized the impor-
tance of contentment and happiness
in the home life of America. In do
ing so he struck keynote that Is
still ringing in the hearts of men
and women everywhere who knew
that a nation, not even one seemingly
so firmly built as ours, can not long
survive with large percentage Of
its toilers unhappy or in distress.
Not as one seeking charity does
labor ask for a five-day week, nor as
special privilege 1t advocates its
universal adoption as an economic
adjustment demanded by the times
and conditions now upon us. That it
should bring labor a little nearer TO
an ideal is only incidental.

FOOLISH ASSERTION

The Rev. John A. Ryan, who has a
large number of friends in unions of
the American Federation of Labor,
recently delivered an address at
Brookwood Codlege, in which he said
that the American labor movement is
in danger of sinking into "a condi-
tion of sodden, self-satisfed material
ism.
1t was Brookwood College, from
which the executive council and the
recent convention of the A. f. of L.
recommended Withholding support be-
cause of its anita. F. of L. teach
ings.
DR.. Ryan should know that there
is no danger of labor sinking into
such condition as he describes.
Organized labor must inherently con-
tinue idealistic, militant. unsatisfied
DR.. Ryan pictures an anachronism-
an impossibility. He has said some
thing that is so foolish that it does
not deserve serious attention.

MATERIAL COSTS
In Building Higher Than
Labor Cost, Govern
ment Finds

Washington, d. c. 0. L. N. ST.
Labor accounts for only 418 per cent
of the cost of erecting an average
building, while material accounts for
58.1 per cent, according to astudy of
the relative costs of material and la
Dor in the building industry made by
the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
The bureau found that the largest
single labor item in residential build
ings is carpenter work, which takes
327 cents of each dollar spent, and
in non-residential buildings the larg-
est single expenditure is for concrete
work, which takes 1876 of each dol
lar expended.
AS the number of cities covered
was necessarily limited, the cities of
Washington, D. c., Cincinnati, Ohio,
and Decatur, H., were selected as be-
ing fairly representative of the diff
ferent types of city communities. The
data relate to the early part of 1928.

terial formed larger percentage Of

MERGERS
Often Ill-Advised, Declares
Economist

New York.-"Business mergers and
consultations are not a guarantee of
success" said Virgil Jordan, econo-
mist of the National Industrial Con-
ference Board. in an address to con-
vention of lumbermen in this city.
These combines have not proved,
and are not likely to be, cure-all
for excess capacity, overproduction,
cut-throat competition or a royal road
to exceptionally large profits in any
field" he said.
Many mergers that have been pro-
noted by financial interests in recent
years have been based upon exag-
gerated hopes or uniformed calcula-
tions, and has disappointed investors.
If the merger movement is going on
strongly today it is chiefly because the
widespread ignorance of fundamental
business conditions and the fantastic
security market, based upon this ig-
norance, have offered an exceptional
opportunity to unload contingent Sc
curities upon the general public"

open SHOPPERS" WAKING

Anti-union employers of Denver
organized as the Employers Associa
tion have found it increasingly diff
cult in recent years to fool the peo-
pie, and as a result the association
shut up shop on January 81, sadly
admitting that lack of financial sup
port forced the suspension.
Thus died an "open shop" organiza-
ton which separated many an en-
ployer from wad of money, the en-
ployers consenting to the separation
under the impression that business
would boom and profits pile up if the
wicked trade unions were put out of
business. But despite the best efforts
of the 'open shoppers" the unions
continued to flourish and even the
stupidest of the employers finally re-
allZed that 1t was useless to spend
money in fighting them.
Business Denver may not realize
it now, but the passing of the EN-
ployers' Association and its program
which led inevitably to wage cutting
the use of private detectives to spy
upon the workers, the yellow dog
contracts and general industrial tur-
moil and warfare, is one of the best
things that ever happened to the city
The handwriting on the wall has ap.
peared in Denver, and it is only g
question of time when anti-union EN-.
ployers' associations in other cite.
will be forced to follow the example
set in the Colorado metropolis.

INJUNCTION MILL is BUSY

Federal Judge Coleman, New York
district, has ruled, in effect, that

that have developed under the private

BUSINESS NOT PROPERTY

A Seattle judge refused to enjoin
union bakery drivers soliciting pat
ronage from an anti-union bakery.
The drivres were employed by the lat
ter concern until the management
adopted non-union practices and the
court was asked to restrain the
unionists from soliciting the patron
age of former customers.
The Judge held that the non-union
bakery has no inherent right in this
business.
The decision runs counter to the
United States supreme court in the
Puplex and Truax cases that "plain-
tiff's business is a property right"
The Seattle decision is in line with
the theory that property is a tangi-
BILE, definite thing.
Good will and friendly sentiment
has only recently been classed as
property, thus bringing under the
jurisdiction of injunction judges any
action by workers they believe inter
feres with that property" even
though it denies constitutional guar.
antees.

CREDIT
Is Strangled BY Bootleg
Banking, Says Professor

Washington.-Th federal reserve
system, which is intended to guard the
nations credit and stop money strin-
gnecies, was attacked by Dr. H. Par
ker Willis, professor of banking in
Columbia University, at meeting
of bankers in this city. Bankers were
called upon to stop gambling in Wall
street with the peoples money.
The New Yorker blamed the federal
reserve system for business bank
ruptcies last year that made new
record in this country.
Our, boasted prosperity, the speaker
said, is not general. Of the 425 1000
concerns which filed tax schedules
with the government last year, about
as per cent reported no taxable in
come. This is an increase Of 10 per
cent over 1922. Business has suffered
because of interest charges that have
advanced from 20 to so per cent.
"The truth is" continued DR..
Parker, 'that for long years past the
federal reserve system has been
wasting it's resources and following
unsound banking principles in several
distinct directions"
The federal reserve system was
called upon to cease aiding Wall
street stock jugglers and stop "boot-
logging its accommodations to the
stock market" Banks were alsc
called upon to "reduce their commit
ments on purely speculative or trad
| ing accounts to some figure taken as
| basic or normal
This was diplomatic suggestion
| that bankers cease using the peoples
money to gamble in Wall street.
