"The State Journal's 'knock' on the
Salvation Afniy and the American
Volunteers gives me a pain," re
marked the old-time unionist the other
Oay. "I'm always willing to drop a
1 enny or two into the Christmas boxes
of these organizations. And when it
comes to helping along the cause of
charitable work I'm going to lend my
assistance to the Army and the Vol
unteers, and not to the cold and cal
culating philanthropists who dispense
charity by rule. I've been up against
ii in my time, and I know something
i. bout that thing some poet called
"Organize.! charity, skimped and iced,
In the name of a cautious, statistical
Christ.' During the panic of '93
'oelongcd to the Down and Out Club
in Chicago, and I simply had to holler
for help. It was only after I had got
to the bottom, however, that I buried
. my pride and made my appeal. If I
Tadn't eaten from the time I appealed
to the 'organize charity' bunch until
I hey had Investigated I'd have been
found by sorrowing friends as my
rude body laid on a marble slab in
the morgue. I tried them and I didn't
tat. Then I t truck the Salvation
Amry and I ato The Army lassies
filled me full of grub, cave me a
bed to sleep in and then proceeded to
investigate. Thisi thing of letting a
lot. of hungry men and women suffer
because there Is a likelihood that an
occasional unworthy one will get
Knnething is all wrong. While those
organized charity workers in Chicago
were investigating the records of
hundreds cf homeless, hungry and
1-opeless people the Salvation Army
was hunting theui up and feeding
them firbt and investigating after
wards... You didn't have to submit
your pedigree and a family record to
V.et a square meal out of 'Bath House'
John Coughlin or 'Hinkey Dink'
Kenna. All you had to do with them
was to show a hungry look. ' Just as
foon as I read the Journal's knoc!t
I hunted up the Christmas boxes of
the Army and the Volunteers and
chipped in as a remembrance of what
they did for me when I was up
pgalnst It for fair. I wish the fellow
vho wroto the 'knock' had to go up
ugainst this organized charity game
two or three times. It would alter hhi
i'oint of view o whole lot."
Harvey K. Garman, a member oi
Denver Typographical Union, was
tlected to the Colorado legislature
last month. Now comes the news that
as soon as hl3 services as a legis
lator are over he will go to Washing
ton as the private secretary of Con
gressman Ruckcr. Garman Is one of
the hustlers in the labor movement,
and Congressman Rucker made a
"find" when ho secured Garman's
services.
"Billy" Norton went to Humboldt
- last Sunday to assume charge of the
Standard. Floyd McKinney is acting
as foreman of thu Western Newspaper
Union composing room pending the
selection of a permanent man. Mc
Kinney declined the situation, pre
ferring to retain his present position.
Speaking of "l'.ve ones," this is the
fifth consecutive time The Wagework
er has appeared in Christmas guise.
Also it is the 247 th consecutive time
The Wageworker has made its weekly
appearance.
The Wsgeworker is a little less
than five years old, yet in that com
paratively brief time it has seen a
tcore of labor papers In larger cities
curl up their toes and die. Right
here and now The Wageworker wants
to make plain that Us continued ex
istence is due almost wholly to the
loyal support of a loyal bunch of
i.nlon men. Without the loyal sup
port it would have been a "dead one"
long ago.
The Central Labor Union will
meet in regular session next Tuesday
right. There is plenty of interesting
mid needed work that can be at
tended to if the delegates will do
their duty.
Auburn, Neb., is boasting that i
lias Becured a "3love factory," and a
professional reformer in Lincoln
claims that a similar factory could
have been secured in Lincoln but
Tor the interference of a "professional
labor ogi'otor who raised a great fuss
bvcause tlie labor in the new factoi
would not be under his direction.''
The Auburn factory will make cheap
cotton flannel gloves and pay girls
from $3 to $4 a week for ten hours
work a day. If thero is any crime
in protesting against the establish
ment of similar factories in Lincoln
the man chargel by the "reform edi
tor" with being n "professional labor
agitator" will u'.adly plead guilty.
The remainder of the charges made
by the "reform editor" ore false In
toto. The charge of being a "pro
fessional labor agitator" lost its sting

CHURCH CONFERENCE PASSES
LABOR RESOLUTIONS.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Your committee further recom
mends: .
That this Federal Council instruct
the executive committee to organize
under such plan as it may In its dis
cretion find expedient, a commission
on the church and social service, rep
resentative of the churches allied in
this council, and of the various indus
trial interests, said commission to co
operate with similar church organiza
tions already in operation, to study
social conditions and ascertain the es
sential facts, to act for the council,
under such restrictions as the execu
tive committee, to which it shall from
time to time report, may determine,
and in general, to afford by its action
and utterance an expression ,of the
purpose of churches of Christ in the
United States to recognize the import
of present social movements and in
dustrial conditions, and to co-operate
in all practicable ways to promote in
the churches the development of the
spirit and practice of social service,
and especially to secure a . better un
derstanding and a more natural rela
tionship between workingmen and the
church.
We do not forget that the strength
of the church is not in a program but
in a spirit. To it Is not given the
function of the school, of the legisla
ture, of the court, but one deeper and
broader, the revelation of the ethical
and practical values of a spiritual
faith. The. church does hot lay the
foundations of the social order; it dis
closes them. They are already laid.
Ours is the blame if upon them we
have allowed rubbish to gather, or let
others build wood, hay, stubble, In
stead of ourselves lifting to the light
the splendor of the gold, silver, prec
ious stones. The church must witness
to the truths which should shape in
dustrial realtions and strive to create
the spirit of brotherhood in which
alone those truths become operative.
It must give itself fearlessly and pas
sionately to the furtherance of all re
forms by which it believes that the
weak may be protected, the unscrupu
lous restrained, injustice abolished,
equality of opportunity secured and
wholesome conditions of life estab
lished. Nothing that concerns human
life can be alien to the church of
Christ. . Its privilege and its task are
measured by the sympathy, the love,
the sacrifice of its Lord. It is here to
re-present Jesus Christ. Let it speak
out what is in its heart! Once again
in the spirit of the Nazarene let it take
from the hand of tradition the sacred
roll and read so that everywhere tho
waiting milions may hear:
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me to preach
the Gospel to the poor, he hath sent
me to heal the broken-hearted, to
preach deliverance to the captive, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set
at liberty them that are bruised, to
preach the acceptable year of the
Lord."
May the church dare to say to the
multitudes, 'This day is this Scripture
fulfilled in your ears."
WE'LL FORGET DAN.
We suggest to our exchanges that
lhay cut out any further roasting ot
Pan Keefe and pass the subject up
to the official organs to see if they
will dare print even the very slightest
reflection of the feelings cf the rank
and file on the subject. Our ex
changes are doing just what Jim
Duncan says is the function of the
labor press roasting Keefe and print
ing articles "offensive to the readers
of official organs " Let some of the
official organs roast Keefe for a
change. Western Laborer.
