Lower —Emma Anderson, assistant to the pastor of the church, who has aided in bringing to life the dreams of the pastor and the congregation for anew church. By the nsrroß Big accomplishments begin in dreams. Great dream makers turn out living structures. Such a “dreamer” is the Rev. J. A. Dunkel, who dreamed a dream of a $300,000 modern church structure at Thirty-Fourth and Central Ave. Several years ago he recognized the necessity of moving the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church from its old N. Meridian St. location at the corner of Eleventh St. He dreamed a dream of a big community church where there was plenty of opportunity to build a cathedrallike church, a chapel, a modern Sunday school plant and community house. Dr. Dunkel believed in his convictions and his dreams. The result is that the first unit of a $300,000 church institution is nearing completion at Thirty-Fourth and Central Ave. Other mehmbers of the church also dreamed dreams and their dreams were of the same brand. The church members hope the beautiful and stately church will be ready for dedication on Thanksgiving Day. The cathedral Idea will be carried out in the interior as well as the exterior. A large organ has been ordered and will be installed as soon as possible. Dr. C. H. Winders, executive secretary of the Church Federation, declares this church building prograrr is one of the largest ever attempted in the city. From a standpoint of the development of the city the importance of this enterprise cannot be over-em-phasized So. it pays to dream big dreams.

(PAID ADVERTISEMENT) ILLINOIS CENTRAL SYSTEM CHICAGO, August 25, 1922. To the Shopmen of the Illinois Central System: Since the lenders of the railway shoperafts ordered the members of their organizations to strike July 1 against decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board, constant efforts have been made to find a basis for a just settlement. I believe you are familiar with those negotiations and the unsuccessful efforts tn bring about a settlement which have been made by the Labor Board and individual members of the'board, by members of the President's cabinet, by representatives of various organizations, and by the President himself. The final conference in New York. August 23, further demonstrated that the differences which exist are of such a fundamental nature that they cannot be composed. We of the Illinois Central System believe there is nothing to be gained by further negotiations on a question which admits of no compromise. Moreover, we believe the situation has been unfavorably affected by reports frequently sent out by leaders of the shoperafts that a nation-wide settlement was about to be effected, and that it can serve no good purpose to continue to hold out these false hopes. hile we are deeply interested in the general situation, we believe that we can accomplish a great deal more for that part of the public served by us. for our employes and for ourselves if we concentrate our future efforts largely upon the conditions on our own railway system. No one regrets more than we the unfortunate situation of our former employes who gave up their positions upon orders from the leaders of th?ir crafts. On June 14. when the strike vote was taken, we addressed a letter to all Illinois Central System shopmen in which we appealed to their better judgment and counseled them not to vote in favor of placing in the hands of their leaders the power to call a strike. We were of the opinion then that if they placed such a power in the hands of their leaders It would be unwisely exercised aUd a strike would be called, resulting in unsold suffering and hardships to the strikers. We had the Interests of our shopmen at heart and did not want to face the situation of having to fill their places. We appreciated that in any emergency which might arise the public welfare demanded that our trains be kept running. On Julv 10, ten days after the strike had been called and some of our shopmen had implied with the orders of their leaders to desert their posts, we again addressed them. The public bad to be served with transportation and, if our shopmen who left our service were not going to return to their positions, new men had to be employed to fill the vacancies. We did not want to employ new men until we were absolutely sure that those who went out would not return. It therefore became necessary for us to fix a time within which those who left their positions could return without loss of pension, seniority and other rights. We waited ten days for our former employes to make up their minds, hoping al! the time that they would return, and after having waited that long we gave them another whole week within which they could return without loss of any of their rights. Holding, as we do. that service to the public is our first and highest duty, we could no longer continue a wailing policy and thus run the risk of-not being able adequately to take care of those depending upon this railway system for transportation service. After having taken every precaution we could consistently take in behalf of the men who went out, we began employing new men. The men who took the places of those who left our service have courageously and efficiently assisted us in rendering to the public an unimpaired transportation service We believe thev are entitled to very great consideration, not only from us. but also from our patrons. We submit'that no fair-minded person with a correct understanding of the situation would have us deal unfairly by these men. There is no dispute about the right of workmen to leave their positions. Neither can there be anv question about the right of others to take the places thus made vacant, nor the right of airy man to work when and where he may wish. Those rights are essential to civilization. The President of the United States has asserted that he will, if necessary, use the full power of the United States Government, to sustain these rights. Neither can there be any question as to the attitude of the Illinois Central Svstem toward labor organizations. We believe in the principles of organization, and we stand ready to work hand in hand with; those organizations which will work with us in serving the public. From the beginning of this controversy we have felt that the members of the shoperaft organisations were being misled, and it is a matter of deepest regret to us that we were not able to induce more of our shopmen to guard against ill-advised action. We believe that the vast majority of our employes in all departments, as well as the vast majority of our patrons, feel in their hearts that the Illinois Centra] Svstem has dealt fairly by the striking shopmen. In addition to the letters which we addressed to them, reasoning with them and exhorting them to let their better judgment prevail, our officers appealed to them personally, worked with them and did everything they honorably could do to induce them so vote against the proposed strike; to refuse to give up their positions after the strike had been called, and, finally, to return to the service in time to preserve their pension and seniority rights unimpaired. We hold no feeling of resentment toward those of our former shopmen who. as a result, of being misled, gave up their positions and the benefits and privileges which they formerly held. So long as vacancies exist, we shall give preference to those of our former shopmen who have not resorted to violence or damaged company property. However, frankness compels us to make clear that the vacancies are being ra-idly filled. Our mechanical forces are largely depleted at only one of the main shop plants on the Illinois Central System. At all of our other shops our mechanical forces range all the way from substantial forces to more than 200 per cent of normal. This disparity has made it necessary’ for us to transfer some of our work from the shops having the smallest forces to those having the largest. The total number of men employed in the mechanical department of the Illinois Central System on June 30, the daybefore the strike, was 13.507. On August 24, after almost two months of the strike, there were 12,653 employes In the’mechanical department, of whom a very large percentage were old employes who remained faithful by refusing to strike. Therefore, on August 24 we had only 554 fewer employes in the mechanical department than on the day before the strike. On July 3, the Labor Board, by resolution, called for the formation of new organizations to take the places of those which had refused to abidfe by the decisions of the board. The following is quoted from that resolution: Whereas, in the future submission of disputes involving rules, wages and grievances of said classes of employes of the carrier it will be desirable. If not a practical necessity, for the employes of each class on each carrier to form some sort of an association or organization to function in the representation of said employes before the Railroad Labor Board in order that the effectiveness of the Transportation Act may be maintained. Now, therefore, be it resolved that it be communicated to carriers and the employes remaining In the service and the new employes succeeding those who have left the service, to take steps as &oon as practicable to perfect on each carrier such organizations as may be deemed necessary for the purpose above mentioned, and Be it further resolved, that If it be assumed that the employes who leave the service of the carriers because of their dissatisfaction with any decision of the Labor Board are within their rights in so doing it must likewise be conceded that the men who remain in the service and those who enter it anew are within their right in accepting such employment—that they are not strikebreakers, seeking to impose the arbitrary will of an employer on employes—that they have the moral as well as the legal right to engage in such service of the American public to avpid interruption of indispensable railroad transportation and that they are entitled to the protection of every department and branch of the Government, State and National In response to the resolution of the Labor Board, the employes of the mechanical department of the Illinois Central System have perfected their own organizations, as follows: Association of Machinists, Helpers and Apprentices; Association of Boilermakers, Helpers and Apprentices; Association of Blacksmiths, Helpers and Apprentices; Association of Sheet Metal Workers, Helpers anfl Apprentices; Association of Carmen, Helpers and Apprentices; Association of Electricians, Helpers and Apprentices. The foregoing organizations furnish the machinery through which representatives of the employes may at any time obtain conferences with representatives of the management. In case differences arise which cannot be composed, the way is always open for an appeal to the Labor Board. The feeling among the employes of our mechanical department in regard to the desirability of these organizations is evidenced by the fact that only ISS failed to join them. In closing this communication, we desire to avail ourselves of the opportunity to extend the sincere thanks of the management to those shopmen who have remained loyal and faithful in the crisis through which we have been passing and have helped us to discharge our obligation to the public. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.
