LAYMEN MEET TO DISCUSS LABOR Church Urged to Fight Tide of Capitalism by Economic Authority Evanston, 111., May 23—(Special to Hally Democrat) —The church must stem the tide of capitalism, or civilization Is doomed, Prof. John H. Gray, noted economic authority, declared today In opening the conference on Christianity and the Economic Order here. The conference, called by the Methodist episcopal church, was attended by 200 laymen and ministers 1 of the church. Bishop Francis J. McConnell whose report to the interchurch world movement on labor < condition* in the steel industry, caus- ' cd a sensation, presided. Prof. Gray declared the question of whether a firm stand by the church against capitalism would lesson ; funds for its support, was “beside the point.” "It is undesirable that the church should have funds, if they are to be used to strengthen and support injustice,” lie derlared. “If the church is to be used to support the strong and suppress tho weak, it becomes a class institution. Class is as destructive of civilization as international militarism.” Taking the situation in tile four | great basic industries of steel, coal, oil and railroads, Prof. Gray sajd: “Social control must be exercised over those industries. Anti-trist laws have proven futile. Trusts never before were so numerous, powerful or injurious as today. Steel holds the key to the situation. “More than half of the men in the steel industry still work the twelve hour day and Sunday labor has not been materially lessened. After every competing nation has come to an eight hour day in this industry, families representing from 500,000 to 1 750,000 persons are subject to this barbarious treatment. “Judge Gary has said for ten years that the steel corporation was 1 about to abolish the twelve hour day. yet something like 70,000 of that! corporation’s employes are still oil the twelve hour shift. “Such workers may want* more schools, more churches, baths but their souls cry for justice and preaching; the gospel to them falls on deaf ears.

“About one-third of the steel workers ars receiving wages below a decent standard of living. “If as Judge Gary said, wages are determined by demand and supply, we should ask how much he has to do with fixing the demand and the supply, and if his statement is correct, the church must insists that we control the demand and supply.” MISS OLIVE FEASEL AND RUSSELL MERRIMAN MARRIED A quiet wedding occured at the par- , sonago of (he Decatur Methodist cir- , cuit at 903 Winchester street Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock when Miss Olive Feasel, of Salem became , the bride of Russell Merriman, also of Salem.
