fcev. Charles Stelzle Offers Sugges
tions For Its Observance.
At the last convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, held in To-1
ronto. a resolution was adopted setting
aside the Sunday preceding the first
Monday in September as "Labor Sun
day" and that the churches of Amer
ica be requested to devote some part
of this day to a presentation of this,
question. It was further resolved that'
the various central and local bodies be
requested to co-operate in every legiti
mate way with the ministers who thus
observe Labor Sunday, seeking with
them to secure as large an audience of
workiugmen and others as possible. It
was stated that it would be an advan
tage to both church and labor to select
a special day upon which the attention
of all classes may be concentrated on
the questions which concern the toil
ers. After the adoption of this resolution
by the American Federation of Labor
the Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ In America adopted a similar
resolution recommending to the
churches of America a hearty compli
ance with the request of the American
Federation of Labor and suggesting to
the churches that they so observe this
day with sermons and other exercises
appropriate to the occasion.
During the past week the ministers
in nearly 700 cities were requested by
the social service commission of the
federal council to appoint committees
to co-operate with similar committees
to be appointed by organized labor, so
that they may together work out a
program which may be carried out in
their localities. Similarly President
Gompers has sent out communications
to the central bodies asking for their
co-operation In this matter. Mr. Gom
pers suggests that the central bodies
appoint committees to wait upon the
clergymen of all denominations with a
view of calling their attention to these
matters and requesting them to deliver
addresses from their pulpits on Labor
Sunday. . ,
Now it is up to organized labor to
make good. This should be the biggest
Labor Sunday in the history of the
church and labor. There is not the
least doubt that If the ministers are
given the assurance of support by the
workers they will open their churches
and conduct a service as outlined In
the recommendations of the two great,
national bodies representing church!
and labor. This service will be of val-j
ue to both the workingmea and the
church, for. whatever of value may!
come to the workingmen through this
service through the preaching of the
principles of labor it will also be of'
great value to those in the church who
need the broader outlook upon the eco
nomic world which this occasion will
undoubtedly give them. I would there
fore urge upon individual trade un
ionists the importance of having com
mittees appointed to take hold of this
matter at once. It might be a good
plan to have your regular Labor day
committee handle the Labor Sunday
meeting, as the two may easily be
worked together. Indeed.' the mass
meeting of workingmen on Sunday
night (which, by the way, should be a
service composed of all the churches in
the city wherever possible) might well
be made part of the general Labor day
program. And if it Is possible to use
the preachers on Labor day. either In
giving addresses or in marching in the
parade, as has frequently been done, it
will add value to the entire program.

Contract Laborers Deported.
On the Cuuard liner Pannonia when
she sailed from New York went sixty
Roumanians, deported on suspicion
that they were here as contract labor
ers.
Suspicion of the immigration officers
was aroused when the men all said
that they were going to Roebling, N. J.
All of the sixty told the same story,
they had come here to stay with
friends or relatives who would look'
after them. Each man was told that
there was a need for labor in other'
places and asked if he would go there. I
To a man they refused. This convinced
the officials, and all were ordered de
ported. Firemen's New Officers.

LABOR BRIEFS.
VALUE OF A NOTEBOOK.
Why Labor Officials and Worker
Should Be Systematic.
Much of the daily work of organiz
ers, business agents and other labor
officials is carried on systematically,
many of these worker ijr labor per
forming their duties an though they
were employees of business bouses.
With experience in the field as organ
izers or in the office as secretaries, as
well as in other capacities, labor rep
resentatives find the necessity of re
garding most of their duties as sim
ple work, and as such it is done the
better by means of the system that is
acquired In u trade or profession.
Organizers, especially, keep not only
diaries to list their engagements to
come and record those that have been
met, but also notebooks in which are
entered the substance of the inter
views they have had with employers
or others in the course of their daily
comings and goings. Those who do
not write down their facts may after
ward overlook some of the many sig
nificant incidents that have taken
place in the course of an organizing
campaign or some of the statements
made in their presence by employers.
What is put into black and white on
the spot or at the first convenient mo
ment later fortifies the memory and
renders contradiction the more diffi
cult. Opponents soon discover during a
controversy whether a labor represent
ative is careful, exact, and methodical
or is in the habit of depending only on
his memory, and consequently prone
to forgetfulness or to make loose state
ments. When matters come to a trial
in court, a written account of the af
fair hi dispute may be indispensable in
order to support the union side. Now
that the trusts' industrial managers
are constantly taking the law into
their own hands at the big works
and manufacturing establishments it
would be well for all employees to get
the habit of keeping notebooks.
A record of the causes of accidents,
the proceedings by foremen and su
perintendents after accidents have oc
curred, the violation of the factory
and other protective laws, the nature
of the methods by which terrorism is
established over men suspected of
unionism by the management the'rec
ord of such facts covering the country
for a single day would shed a light on
this phase of our civilization.
But. what is precisely to the point
with each individual, one's own note
book may prove to be of important as
sistance to him in various emergen
cies, either with respect to accidents
to organization or to upholding the
law. American Federationist.

Interest In Labor Sunday.
Labor Sunday the Sunday preceding
Labor day will be observed generally
this year and in future years through
out the United States. This because
of the American Federation of Labor
declaration for the observance of that
day. The numerous letters recently
received at American Federation of
Labor headquarters from ministers is
an assurance that interest in the idea
of giving special attention to the cause
of labor from the pulpit one day in
the twelvemonth is widespread. Our
readers are urged to try to bring about
an understanding, in their respective
districts with representatives of the
church so that ministers will make ad
dresses that may attract trade union
ists to the churches in large numbers
for the day. Ministers should say
what they think oh the occasion in
order that their trade union hearers
may put the right estimate as to where
the church stands on the question of
the organization of labor. The more
this subject is discussed the better will
it be for labor. Union ethics are
sound. American Federationist.
