Even to the non-expert rank
and-filer it's obvious that high
monopoly prices, huge corporation
profits, and relatively low real
wages are heading us for a bust"
equal to or worse than the crash
in 1929.
The mouthpieces of big-business
argue that it's not possible to cut
prices, because of the uncertain
ties of higher wage demands. The
recent victory of labor, in setting
a new pattern in the electrical,
auto, steel and other industries
IF Is cent per hour increases is
given as the reason why prices
cannot be cut, and must in some
cases be further increased.
LET'S take look at the profits
of one of Chicago's biggest steel
fabrication plants, Crane Co., and
see if they can afford to pay the
modest wage increase won by local

THE meeting started and
came down to business. The
chairman was Joe Weber, who
represented the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee. Out
lining the purpose of the mass
meeting, he flung an arm at the
Republic plant, a third of a
mile down the road. Twenty
five thousand men were on
strike; their purpose was to
picket peacefully to win de-
cent raise in wages so that they
might exist like human beings.
But there had been constant,
brutal provocation by the po-
lice. Well, they were gathered

right, to protest that Interior

cheered some point, the chill

light and clapped their hands.
AS soon as the meeting had
finished the strikers and their
wives and children began to
form their picketing.
After all, this was Memorial

MEMORIAL DAY in Chicago
IVI in 1897 was hot, humid
and sunny; it was the right kind
of day for the parade and the
holiday, the kind of day that
takes the soreness out of a
Civil War veterans back and
makes him feel like stepping
out with the youngsters a quar-
ter his age. M
1t was day for picnics, for
boating, for the beach or long
ride into the country. 1t was a
day when patriotic sentiments
could be washed down COM
fortablw with Coca-Cola or a
Tom Collins, as you preferred.
And there's no doubt but that
a good deal of that holiday feel
ing was present in the strikers
who gathered on the prairie
outside and around Republic
Steers Chicago plant.
MOST of the strikers felt
good. Tom Girdler, who ran
Republic, had said that he
would go back to hoeing pota-
toes before he met the strikers
d e m n d s, and word went
around that old Tom could do
worse than earn an honest liv-
ing hoeing potatoes.
The strike was less than a
week old; the strikers had not
yet felt the pinch of hunger,
and there was a good sense of
solidarity everywhere. Because
it was such fine summer day,
many of the strikers brought
their children out onto the
prairie to attend the first big
mass meeting; and wherever
you looked, you saw two-year-
olds and three-year-olds riding
pick-a-back on the shoulders
of steel-Workers.
And because it was in the
way of being their special oc-
casion as well as a patriotic
holiday, the women wore their
best and brightest.
IN KNOTS and clusters, the
younger folks two by two, the
older people in family groups,
they drifted toward Sans place
on South Green Bay Avenue.
Once Sans place had been
ten-cent-a-dance hall; now it
was strike headquarters, which
meant, in terms of the strike,

ly.
One terrible kind of profanity
is cheap treatment and a low
regard for persons. There is a
great deal of that kind of profan-
ity.
Persons are infinitely interest
ing and varied and unpredictable.
A Christian, no matter what his
vocation, wishes, through it, to
do something for persons. The
carpenter, the train conductor.
Sunday School 2
the street sweeper, the teacher,
the factory foreman, can all look
ahead to the touch of their work
upon the lives of persons. Fac
tories, railroads, stores, schools,
and churches exist for persons.
AS ones friendship with God
increases, his friendship with
persons grows. AS he likes per-
sons better and better, he will
discover God anew, so close is
God to us and so close are we to
God.
He who loses his interest in
persons might well write another
Ecclesiastes of Illustration. By
the way, the writer of Ecclesias-
tes does not exhibit very warm
interest in persons, does he? Per-
haps that is why he missed God
for so long and found him stern
and awesome.
Do you feel that your vocation
can be made to serve persons
more and more? Do you know
persons who are living affir1na-
tions of God?
The Christians Old Age
If one has had a lifelong,
growing friendship with God, if
he has been captivated by the
Wonderfulness of persons, and if
he has served God through per-
sons and persons through God,
what kind of old age does he ex-
perience? A ripeness and rich

THINKING ABOUT
LIFE
BY FRANK ID. SLUTZ

NO ONE CAN build philosophy
of life for another. Even if a per-
son says that he adopts the Chris
tian philosophy of life but does
not think it through. and accept
it on its merits, it is not his.
There are principles of a Chris
tian philosophy of life which need
to be stated firmly, but the actual
building of philosophy to live
by is each PERSONS task for him.
self.
The Book of Ecclesiastes, or
Koheleth, as it is named in the
Hebrew, is well worth study as
a report of an experiment in max
ing life philosophy. The writer
of Ecclesiastes tried work, pleas
ure, and the reading of all the
secular. philosophers; and still
his soul was not satisfied. He
called everything vanity, futility,
and Illustration. Finally, after
drawing a marvellous poem-pic-
ture of old age still on the hunt
for satisfaction, he advises that
God ought to be made a partner
during ones youth instead of at
the end of the story of life. He
seems to have found finally that
God is just, lawful, stern, exact
ing, but indispensable.
There is no joy in this discov-
cry, no happiness. At any rate
such joy and happiness are not
put into the report. Ecclesiastes
is filled with the results of day.
to-day kind of living, character
lied by eating, drinking, search
ing, waiting, growing old.
Is our modern literature quite
like Ecclesiastes in it's. peculiar
hOpelessness, in it's whistling to
keep up it's courage, in it's depen-
dence on the testtube and the
slide rule for the answers to ife's
questions?
God Our Friend
One cardinal principle of the
Christian philosophy of life is
that God, the Eternal, is our
friend. We can talk with him in
prayer, often during the day. We
can work with him so that our
tasks will be made significant as
parts OF, his total work. Our work
is in itself a, kind of prayer if it
is consecrated to Gods plans.
Friendship with God is not q
The future outlook., 1947-09-27

debate, an argument, but an eX-
perience. How many human
friends would one have if he
spent all his time thinking, argu-
ing, and debating about the pos
sibility of having any friends?
The way to have friends is to go
out and win them, make them,
enjoy them. Then, instead of ar
gument and debate, there is the
positive happiness of indisputable
achievement.
God can be known as positive
ly and as surely as any other
friend. Anyone who truly desires
to have God as known friend
may have him. Indeed, God is our
constant friend even if we never
come to know him. But think
what we miss by such a one-sided
arrangement.
Our friendship with God will
grow deeper and become richer
and richer as we keep the laws,
invite his counsel and guidance.
God appears to us through our
thoughtful meditation, through
our waiting for him in listen
ing. attitude, through the glory
of. each day he makes for us.
Do you find your friendship
with God growing experience,
or is it yet only kind of relief?
1t can be real.
Persons Are Wonderful
So the Christian philosophy Of
life declares that God can be our
magnificent friend. 1t also de-
clares that God can be seen in
persons. For persons are Gods
representatives in his universe.
Persons are like God because they
can create, love, forgive, hope,
plan, bring things to pass, add to
beauty, practice goodness. The
most unanswerable evidences of
God are splendid persons. And
they are precious, too, as God is
precious, and not to be pushed
around or used cheaply or mean
