The Times Wffl Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
| CHURCH WANTS
NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—The Protestant church of
this country, represented in the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of Christ
in America, recently issued a declara
tibn that the state should “attempt to
secure to the worker an income suf
ficient to maintain his family at a
standard of living which the commu
nity can approve.”
This was part of a pronouncement
on the attitude of the church toward
reconstruction which was drawn up by
the commission on the church and so
cial service of the Federal Council.
The Federal Council is a congress of
thirty leading Christian bodies for
united action.
The statement asserts that “it is a
false idea that the churches are only
concerned with religious, educational
and charitable enterprises. They are
or should be vitally concerned with
civic, economic and other social inter
ests.”
Rights of workingmen to share in
the control of industries are set forth
in this statement at length. “We
have come upon times when people
are not submissive to injustice or to
unnecessary privation and suffering,”
declares the church commission.
“They are deeply and justly in ear
nest. If those who are the actual
industrial, political and social leaders
of the nation will not act upon the
principle that the greatest shall be the
servant of all, then the people them
■ selves, with indignation and bitter
ness, are sure to take their destiny
and that of the world into their own
I hands.
“Class-consciousness and the use of
violence are not confined to the revo
lutionary groups. The possession of
wealth and education tend to the for
mation of classes, and industrial own
ership and management to a class
conscious ruling group. We observe
the dangerous tendency of many state
and municipal officials to deny fail
hearings to radical offenders and to
use unnecessary and provocative bru
tality during strikes.
“Legislatures, judges and officials
should act firmly but justly, without j
bluster and without unnecessary vio
lence. Workingmen believe that they
do not get an equal chance before the
law, and it is highly important that j
whatever real basis there is for this
conviction should be removed.
“A deep cause of unrest in industry
is the denial to labor of a share in
industrial management. Laborers
must be recognized as being entitled
to as much consideration as employ
ers, and their rights must be equally
safeguarded. This may be accom
plished by assuring the workers' as
rapidly as it can be done with due
consideration to conditions a fail
share in control; by opportunity for
- ownership with corresponding repre
sentation; or by a combination of own
ership and control in co-operative pro
duction.
“The living wage should be made
the first charge upon industry before
dividends are considered. The resist
ance of labor to general wage reduc
tions, even when accompanied by re
duced hours of work, should receive
moral support from the community,
except where the demand is clearly
unreasonable. Wage levels must be
high enough to maintain a standard of
living worthy of responsible, free citi
■ zenship in a democracy.
“Actual wages, that is, wages reck
oned in power to purchase commodi
ties, have been decreasing for several
years in spite of wage increases. There
is urgent need of provision by indus
try under the guidance of the govern
ment for some regular method of ad
justment of wages and salaries to the
purchasing power of money. High
wages are desirable as a general prin
ciple.”
Employers who justify low wages
or wage reductions should open their
books and submit their figures to pub
lic scrutiny, adds the commission.
To provide employment, the com
mission advocates that a nation-wide
employment service be maintained,
and suggests adoption of a policy of
public works and land settlement, a
guarded extension of opportunities for
social insurance to cover unemploy
ment due to industrial conditions or
ill health, and the rehabilitation of in
dustrial cripples under the direction
of the state and at the expense of in
dustry. A general policy of vocational
training is approved.
Concerning the payment of the war
debt, it is pointed out that “powerful
influences are organized to shift the
burdens of this debt on the public,
while the public itself is unorganized
and practically unable to protect
itself.”
A revolt, the commission says, al
" ready has taken place against the pol
" icy of levying direct taxes upon minor
PITIFUL STATE
OF RESIDENTS
OF MACEDONIA
KAVADAR, Macedonia, June 10
(Correspondence of Associated Press)
—Without food, without medical at
tention with hardly any growing
crops promising relief when the har
vest comes 15,000 refuges of this dis
trict ho,ve returned and are desper
ately clinging to the litte mountain
farms which are their patrimony. Ra
ther than abandon them they will die
in the ruins and caves which today
only half shield them from the ele
ments.
To this field the Balkan Commis
sion of the Red Cross has sent Cap
tain R M Blakely, USA medical
corps, of New Orleans, La, with five
nurses and several car loads of sup
plies. Villages within a radius of 50
kilometers are now being served by
the “Amerikanska.” Medicines are
given at the dispensary which never
charge a dinard for its service or for
flcur, clothing and other supplies for
tl:e canteen. What that means to a
people who have come back from ex
ile after three years of deprivation
of the necessities of life, to find
their homes in ruins can best be ap
preciated here on the spot.
The station here at Kavadar is but
ore of hundreds of similar stations
in Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Ru
mania Herzegovina and Greece which
the Balkan Commission of the Am
erican Red Cross has established.
The town hall is used for an in
firmary, and an empty house for a
food and clothing warehouse and an
old mill has been made into a bakery.
The dispensary is crowded from
morning to night. Some days 250
patients are treated. The maimed
and stricken come from a radius of
30 miles. One patient was brought
in on an ox cart from an unbroken
journey of four days. Tuberculosis
i:i every form, onaemia and other ills
that follow in the wake of under
feeding and poor housing have af
fected a third of the population.
luxuries of the people. Aesolute use,
it adds, should be of the graduated
income and inheritance taxes, as “a
just method for placing the heavier
burdens upon those most able to bear
them.”
The church asserts that it stands
for a living wage for industrial women
and equal pay for equal work. It urges
persons having free capital to invest
it irt homes for workers. It points to
the need of community centers to re
place the saloon, and declares that
churches should be open seven days
in the week.
