And £»* investigation wjh!/& w* m* gressional variety from which one tiever hears anymore. It was $ rejd jny*etigafcion. He found that 1&e J>e<)f)le were being charged exorbi tant interest, that they were being fggeeg tp seli i their Jand and that ts^sgeu^ them had had to aeh thei* .children; into slavery to meet the ob ligations imposed upon them. No wonder there was discontent! '^‘Aifter the-investigation the ac count says Nehemiah ‘consulted with himself.’ How many preachers and leaders in the church today are spend *»K^**y tune consuming witn -tnem ?sejy<es 'abjpt the presaipn industrial problems of today? Hut jtehemiah Wgs pot content to sit and think it. ‘I contended with the nobles and rulers/ he says, ‘and 1 held a assembly against them and I wad. would ye awn sell your breth Wft?’ Today Nehemiah would get into serious trouble if he hegao to great assemblies’ against the WFOhgs that confront us. Some one Would ceil bjwn a ‘bolaheyisfc’ and he would neyer be thought well of any #M*eby h«$e, respectable (?) people. to get back to the text (for this is supposed to be a sermon), JM$Se the plea up^n which these peo ple based then* maun for justice?. rlov our flesh is ps the flesh of our brethren, opr children as their chjld £*!»•’ Jestf*, when he wps here, echoed the message of the old proph ets whan he talked about human brotherhood• Today science confirms hi* teaching- We don’t have One tbyshdogy lor America and another f«T Jape*. Science'oars ’the Aesh of on* is as the flesh of the other.' Th* same bolds true for studies of Up Jfciftd* At»d When we begin to S books about people getting together jn groups, the best au j*S tell us that Jesus' teaching about .cooperation is absolutely essen tial to progress in human relation ships. ‘He who takes my wage takes jny living. He who takes my child for factory labor takes my child's right to grow and be educated and cpme into a life that is free and happy. Be who takes my wife to labor in his shop takes my home." This is the modern equivalent of the cry of the people to Nehemiah. They Said, ‘Neither can we heip it for Other men have- our fields and our vineyards.’ That is the old story of the dependence of the worker upon tne one who owiis the means of pro duction. Nehemiah’s solution is the onjy solution. He saw that the only remedy was to restore to them their fields and their olive-yards—their means of making a living: ‘Restore, I P^ay you, to them, even this day,’ their fields, their vineyards,4 their olive-yards and their houses.’' “We need to see that there cannot ibe industrial peace without industrial justice. No, never! We pray, ‘Thy Kingdom come.’ What are we doing to make it come? To pass resolu-' tions is no good. To sacrifice some thing for their realization is vastly better.” ■ . WILL DEBATE STRIKE RIGHT (Continued From Page One.) in connection with this office, and Delegate Albea seems to like to work, judging from his reports at each meeting. Business Agent Lyle, of the Car penters’ Council, made a splendid re port, showing a great gain iq mem bership of all the building crafts. Delegate J. N. McKnight, member fit the executive board, resigned his -office and announced his intention of departing for Sunny Florida, Bp-. McKnight is a “plumb good one,” as jthe bpys $ay, and in accepting the Resignation it was voted that the sec retary give MR. McKnight a letter to the he is a gentleman, a scholar, a prince of a good follow and a tjrade unionist of the deepest dye. Delegate Alexander, of the Paint ers, had trouble passing the inner guard. Mr. Alexander is growing a, moustache, and it was with difficulty the the .inner guard recognized the wi#e-awafce delegate from the Paint era’ union. Some of the delegates were a littje hit unegsy about Delegate W. J, jEstridRe, fearing he was ill. You see, jhe didn't haye anything to say, and that is unusual. Whenever Mr. Est rjdge is not talking unionism enthu siastically, those who know him best; are always concerned about the big plan’s health. : ' There is a big surprise in store for the delegates at the meeting next jweek, as some of the officers haye prr&hgtd a program that will highly entertain all who attend the meeting.

The public utilise* commissions are npw quite generally allowing the companies to charge rates high enough to net them eight percent on their capital in vestment, ‘ Tb* SMtef.eah 'seg ■:& bonds at 4 1-2 or 5 percent at hipst, a saving of three to three and a Wit; per cent.

And this saving makes possible reduction in rates tp that extent. And if we take the case of' the grat superpower system which the private power companies are now proposing to develop /.covering the whple northeastern section of the country from Beaten to/Washington, P, €., the capital required is stated as $1,294,664,04)$ and the rate of in terest which if is estimated that this capital would draw is ten per cent. So that in this case the paving eject ed by public ownership because of the lower rate sA interest would amount to $64,738,-2001 annually*- a truly enormous saving that wodkd then go to further reduction of rate.
