The Goth Century-Fox studio still

Billy WilkerSon, the trade paper

There's not a room or a house in
town for rent. Limit on hotel rooms
is five days-and there's always a

$4,000 are selling for $4,000. But
homes which cost $4,000 are down

Service to the Common Good
The economic goal Of tomorrows
world will be the production Of more
goods at lower prices for more people.
An economy, therefore, that is planned
to serve the consumer promises the
greatest security, because the differences
arising between labor and management
can best be solved by a reference away
from either group to society at large.
All unite at the point of their consumer
interest.
Modern society has never been con-
fronted by the problem Of over-produc-
ton, but of under-consumption, largely
through lack of purchasing power. Basic
human needs in terms Of food, clothing
and adequate housing have never fully
been met even in prosperous America.
The task of providing for such human
needs will require an industrial effort
sufficient to give an adequate return to
labor, management and capital. An inn
portant part of this task will be the re-
lief and rehabilitation of the worlds
stricken areas. afA
The Church is not called to devise
scheme of social organization or tech
nical plans for industry, but it must
manifest its deep concern for the spirit
and motive of our economic life. In

trative of figures contained in a recent
pamphlet of the Department OF Labor S
industrial Relations Division Strikes
in le4so is story that has been sent
TO IPA from Lynchburg Va.
A committee Of textile workers called
on the War Labor Board to find out
what had happened to their case After
extensive serach in the files, they were
told that the board had lost their case"
II seems the next day the workers did
not show up for work and when asked
bv the board why they were on strike
they explained they had lost their
plant
The Department Of Labor's pamphlet
reveals that almost half Of the strikes IN
1913 took place between the time the
War Labor Board got the case and the
time it gave its decision. The report
states in at least 300 of the strikes that
took place before the board reached a
decision. delay in decision was specific
ally stated to be one factor in causing
the stoppages."
The Labor department in preparing its
report could find the outcome of only
oDe-tenth Of the strikes that started in
1913. Most Of the cases were still pend
ing before the WLB at the time the
report was prepared.
other facts given which spike the
guns of ant-labor congressman and
writer's were:
/. Strikes took away from Americas
war and civilian production only fifteen
one-hundredths Of one per cent.
2. The number of strikes occurring

fought for at such staggering cost in
lives and materials are not worth main
tanning once the sacrifices have been
made ana the victory Of arms assured.
Labor. Employers and Consumers
In order to maintain full employment
in peacetime, the problem of production
must be tackled along three main fronts
Organized labor should be encouraged to
maintain and strengthen its recent great
gains which have already helped TO raise
the general level of living. At the same
time. labor is under the solemn respon-
sibiltiy so to discipline itself as to merit
the approval Of fair-minded people Re
sponsible labor leadership must make
its contribution to the common good on
the basis of justice to the employer and
to the general public as well as to
labor.
But steady employment in the post
war world will depend also on the full
cooperation Of management. Manage
ment is likewise under obligation to
place the common good above its own
selfish interest. American business men
will NEE their full responsibility only
as they direct their great ingenuity TO-
ward meeting consumption needs on
world scale.
our American industrial system, with
its mutual dependence on capital and
labor, will hold the respect Of society to
the degree that Il can succeed in adapt
ing its program to the demands of
world economy. ANY tendency toward
narrow isolationism or economic i'm
perialism on the part Of industrial lead
ership would constitute a betrayal Of
the millions who are making such sacri-
lfices on the world battlefronts, and
would constitute a step toward World
War number three our churches as
part ia worldwide fellowship could
not but resist such development We
appeal, therefore, to management anc
labor alike to cooperate wholeheartedly

LABOR DAY
MESSAGE

The purposes when Jesus Christ an
nounced as He began His ministry are
today, as in every day, a charter for
His Church: Ito preach the gospel to
the poor to heal the broken-h heart
ed to preach deliverance to the cap
tives, and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised,
to preach the acceptable year of the
Lord Loyal to His purpose, the Church
must have an active sympathy with all
who are in any kind of need, suffering
from any form of injustice, OF struggling
for a better life.
A major problem of social justice fac
ing America this Labor Day is that of
planning adequately for the millions Of
returning soldiers who must find their
way into productive industry at the very
moment when industry is undergoing
the terrific adjustments incident to a
return to peaeetime production. A way
can be found through consultation and
cooperation between management and
labor to make such adjustments, and at
the same time maintain production at a
level that will continue to guarantee full
employment.
Such employment is the key to a con-
tinued prosperity, for it assures a steady
demand for consumers goods through
placing adequate purchasing power ir
the hands of the people. In our system
industry can continue to produce only
so long as markets are made available
and markets depend in large part upoT
adequate purchasing power created b,
the maintenance of full employment.
Christian Society Must Guarantee
Full Employment
Therefore, the Christian Church, pro
claiming the essential worth of person
ality. would be remiss in its solemn dut
did it not reaffirm again this Labc
Day its belief that a Christian societ
is under sacred obligation so to organic
itself that everyone willing and able
work may be guaranteed some meaning

must point out that a society which ca

must also do so under a peace-tin
