SOCIALISM AND THE CHURCH.
Economic Reform.
By the Rev. Charles StelileV
Not satisfied with what the church
has done in history for the industrial
workers, the church conference al
ready referred to, which,-at its, very
first meeting and which , was thus
the first time that the churches in
America ha, an opportunity to -express
their attitude .concerning the
labor question- emphasized jrery .jem-:
phatically the attitude 'or the church
es toward the industrial problem.
And here I would auote the exact
words of the resolution passed-unani
mously and with the greatest enthu
siasm by the united representatives
of Protestant Christianity throughout
America: ; ' . '
"We deem it the duty of all Chris
tian people to concern themselves
directly with certain practical indus
trial problems. To jis -iV seems that
the churches must stand . "
"For equal rights atid complete jus-
tice for all men in 'all ' stations of
life. - . .
For the right of all men to the op- L
r,r,rtnTiitv for self-maintenance; a
right ever to be wisely and strongly
Qflfesruarded agamst encroacnmenis
of every kind.
For the right of workers to, some
protection against the hardships of
ten resulting from the -swift crises
of industrial change. .
For the principle of conciliation
and arbitration in industrial dissen
sions.
For the protection of the workers
from dangerous machinery, occupa
tional disease, injuries uad mortality.
For the abolition of child labor.
For such regulation of the condition
of toil for women as shall safe-guard
the physical and moral health of the
community.
or the suppression of the "sweat
ing system."
For the gradual and reasonable re
duction of the hours of labor to. the
lowest practicable point, and -for that
degree of leisure for all which 4s a
condition of the highest human life.
For a release from employment one
day in seven. " .- - ;
For a living Wage as a minimum in
every industry and for the highest
wage that each industry can afford.
For the most equitable division of
the products that can ultimately be
devised, . .Tjf
For suitable provision for the old
age of the workers and for those in
capacitated by injury.
For the abatement of poverty. -To
the toilers of America and to
those who by organized effort are
seeking to lift the crushing burdens
of the poor, and to reduce the hard
ships and uphold the dignity of la
bor, this council sends the greetings
of human brotherhood and the pledge
of sympathy and of help in a cause
which belongs to all who follow
Christ.
TAX ON LAND VALUES.
Editor Labor News: Many towns
in the far west are springing up like
mushrooms along the line of new rail
roads. Old towns are . slow to grow
under increased transportation ad
vantages, and business men and
home seekers are attracted to the new
ones. The reason is that the older
towns are cursed with old shacks
and piles of rubbish on the most val
uable building sites and the prices
asked of those who would use the
idle lots are -too high for "the man
with a small capital. So he moves
on to a new town where the anticipa
tion of the land hoghas nor out
stripped the tribute-paying, power of
the would be land user.
A tax on land values exclusive of
all improvements would make the
old towns grow more rapidly than the
new ones, for it would not pay to hold
land out of use. To make the shacks
and unsightly piles of rubbish disap
pear from the corner lots in., the
heart of a town; tax the ground the
same, dollar for dollar, as if it were
occupied with a fine business block
or substantial residence.
The land hog does nothing for a
town. His wallows are unsightly and
his grunts and objections drive out
youth, enterprise and prosperity.
Oliver Mcknight.
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
The coming Ohio Typographical
conference, to be held in this city,
April li, promises to be an unusual
event. William B. Prescott,; ex:presi
dent of tht I. T. U., and at present
associated with the Inland ... -Printer
Technical School, Chicago,,, is down
for a talk. President Lynch will also
be present, and Max Hayes will head
the Cleveland delegation. Originally
these conferences were minor affairs,
and only included a handful of dele
gates. Now they look like national
contentions. At the Toledo gather
ing, printers from as far east as Pitts
burg will be present.
The local committee on arrange
ments intend securing Memorial hall
and inviting not only frheir fellow un
ionists in other crafts, but educators
and public men, to hear Prescott's
talk on trade unions and technical
education. Toledo, 0., Union Lead

SOME PLAIN TRUTHS.
You can read every day now some-
th&gaboufr - r
One announcement tells you that
the. Steel vTrust "cuts high-- salaried
men." Skilled men, mechanics, over
seers and engineers, getting from
three i thousand to five thousand dol
lars a year, are to have their pay
cut in two. A majority accept the
jcut; mWFv-wii:-- SB-
The , pjjtoutfej.riat. tf --thftrSteel-Trust
hadn't added a thousand mil
lien -dollars of ' watir to the" steef bus
iness and compelled workmen and
consumers to -'pay interest on that
thousand million of watei: which
means a thousand millions of theft
uere wquia De' no necessity nor mis
utung or-wagesr
In spite oi. the hard times, in spite
oi everything, ythC steel .-Trust .could
pay .its! ;men more, - and -it- could'seli
ins products to me country at lower
prices than those charged now.
But the "big! financiers" wanted, alf
the millions m . a hurry and they5
couldn t wait. So they printed a thou
sand millions of stocks,, and the peo
ple must pay the price. That is one
plain truth.
-Here is- another" plain" truth V
Busmess men, .will stand their share
of loss in this ? present cut of wages,
and they mustn't ..forgets it.
It" isn't only Ithe workmen that suf
fer when the "workman's wages are
cut down, or hen men are thrown
out of work. i
The business men suffer, too, and
so does every man accustomed to get
part of what the workmen earn.
When wages! are cut for any rea
son,i the big j stores and the little
stores- know it.! The doctors and the
dentists and the theater owners and
the druggists and all the others that
get their money from the spending
power of, the average citizen- realize
what has happened,
"When a great corporation-under
takes to cut a million and a half dol
lars a year from the wages of a- cer
tain number of workers it isn't the
workers alone that are cut The mil
lion and "a half dollars taken from
the workmen are taken also from the
business men to whom the workmen
would have handed that money.
If you tell some near-sighted indi-
Lyidual that he canJtell sa-maay five
thousand-dollar ; automobiles when car
drivers or laborers are discharged
:and their w&ges ;, are -t;ut down he
laughs at you. But he laughs rooiish
ly. ;
"The small steel worker, the hum
ble mechanic, doesn't buy the flve-
thousand-dollar automobile." True
But he gives to the merchant the
money with which the merchant buys
the automobile.; And when the aver
age little man j hasn't got the money
to spend, the average big man doesn't
get the moneys and the whole coun
try suffers.
That is a plain truth that business
men are finding out They have learn
ed that the prosperity of America de
pends upon the spending" capacity of
the people. The. cutting of wages,
made necessary by fraudulent stock
issues,, falls not only upon little work
ers, but on the. biggest business men
as well. i
Another plaii truth is this. It pays
workingmen to stick together, even
in., times of prosperity. Times were
booming, wages were good, everybody
was.busy. Steel - workers. had jobs
that lasted all 'the year around, and
they said to each other more than
75 per cent. Of them "why should
we stay in the unions and pay dues?
We have steady jobs. No matter
about the unions."
Now they, can be rapped over the
m. . h f J 1
nose comrortaoiy ana quite saieiy.
They have no steel unions worth men
tioning; they, can't organize any in
these disorganized times, when every
man is trying' his best to hold' his
job, even at lower wages.
The men that were in a great hurry
to drop the union, to drop solidarity
and brotherhood among workers as
soon as they thought they were inde
pendent of each other, have learned
their . mistake J May they remember
the mistake in the future. Evening

Warits Better Distribution of Wealth
-and No Secret Unions.
John Mitchell, formerly president
of the United Mine "Workers, last Sun
day addressed the congregation of
the-re-SyBaogtrei1n' New"" forF
city on "Industrial Unrest" Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, introducing the
Ispeaker; said; that ojuntary cd-opera-

"Industrial i unrest," Mr. Mitchell
said, "has its jorigin in the desire for
greater freedom. The ideal of the
average working man in this country
is that some day he may have his own
small cottage, 1 from which nobody can
evict him, andpttiat his earnings will
be sufficient U educate mis children
and to provide for them the proper
surroundings.
"I do not dream of an even distri
bution of wealth, but I want a more
equitable distribution than' we have
now. There iare those in the labor

NESS. The other day a man traveling on
a shore line noticed protruding from
an overhead rack a dress suit case
which he recognized as belonging to
a friend. He knew that his friend al-1
ways got off at the station Which they
had just passed, and as he was not
in the seat 'the conclusion was inevi-
table that he had jumped off the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After
some 4iscusien and a mild protest
on the part of the conductor that it I
wasn't a part of his duty, the suit I
case was put off at the next station I the printing trades cannot be over
with instructions' to send it hark on I estimated. and is about "the last
the first train the other way. I
The man feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long. The face of his
friend, who had been in the smoker
and who happened on that, particular 1
afternoon to be eoine to New Ixmdon'l
to attend a dinner party loomed up I
before him.
- The moral of this is, of course,
quite evident.

SELF-CONTROL.
A recent writer tells a story of a
famous horse trainer who had a par
ticularly badrtempered beast brought
to him for subjugation. At the first
act of ugly temper 1 on the part of
the brute the trainer paused, put up
his whip, and said, with a deep draw
ing of his breath; "Now, first of all,
let me get a good grip on myself!
After . that his mastery of the horse
came not as an accident but a sequel
The man who can master himself
can - master a ' horse if he gives his
mind to it A great many young peo
ple are put in positions where it is
of the utmost . importance that : they
should be able to control and direct
those who are in their charge, or in
contact with them. Mastery is what
they must learn, and; the horse train
ers wprd8 sow, , tho .way. ,First of
ait; let ; me get : a good. , grip on my
self" Power inevitably flows from
self-controL The person who can
aggravate or anger us is our master
just that far. We can never master
the aggravatbr until our self-control
is stronger than the power of any ag
gravation to overturn it If we would
be strong of will, we must practice to
put the bit and bridle on ourselves. -
DOLLS AND DOLL . CARRIAGE 8.
We have entirely too many dolls and
doll carriages. We have our regular
quantity bought and through a mis
understanding of the salesman we
were . shipped double the quantity;
while we are not the sole losers on
this deal you are the gainer. These
dolls and carriages must be sold and
sold quick and there's but one way
to move them, and that is to sell them
less than any ode else can afford to,
which we are doing every day. We
have the greatest line of dolls and toys
that has ever been shown in Greens
boro, and we are selling them at the
same small profit in which we move
all our merchandise. We don't offer
you any extra premiums in order to
move this merchandise and then in a
cunning way -tell' you we are going to
give you something, and then on ev
ery twenty-five cents worth you buy
from us add 10 per cent, extra.

store which has been doing business
and treating the people right for twenty-two
