THE FREEDOM OF LABOR.
While expressing a willingness to
recognize the labor unions and their
contribution to the community wel
fare, the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church by a
vote of 447 to 280 refused to commit
the Church, as an employer, to a pref
erence for union labor. The amended
resolution pledged the Church to
“every possible endeavor to work with
it, in so far as its methods are just,
and in so far as the rights of unor
ganized men are not infringed upon.”
This is a principle of democracy
which everybody is willing to concede.
Colorado, the scene of the most san
guinary labor troubles a few years
ago, is witnessing the peaceful work
ing out of labor problems with union
and non-union men working side by
side, each having the ear of the em
ployer without prejudice to the other.
The same situation exist§ in Detroit
and Los Angeles and other centres of
industry.
In voting upon the tentative agree
ment between the miners and opera
tors which averted a great strike in
like anthracite fields, several dele
gates at a convention at Pottsviile,
j Penn., protested because the plan did i
not provide for the closed shop. Dis
trict President Kennedy of Hazeiton
j declared that, when a break seemed
i imminent after seven days’ discus
I sion with the operators, it seemed bet
1 ter to the miners’ committee to ac
cept a limited reeognitoin of the unicjn J
rather than to go on a strike on "the
j sole issue of the closed shop and
1 plunge 180,000 men into a serious
struggle.” It is this kind of lead-'r
ship that will secure pence in the'
world of industry through mutual un
derstanding. The Railroad Employee, |
one of the leading labor journals, \
: stands for this kind of leadership. ;
i Criticising, in the course of a stirring
article on patriotism, those labor lead
j ers who have denounced the flag and
i who have said they would not lift a
: finger in the country’s defence, the
Railroad Employee says this is a doc
trine "which is creating a breed of
moral lepers and cowardly hypocrites
who traffic in the name of labor to
; serve their own selfish and s irdid
ends.”-—Leslie’s Weekly.

AN ANCIENT ROMANCE.
The book of Ruth is the greatest
pastoral idyl in literature. It is
founded, according to the Christian
iierald, on loving kindness, the lov
ing kindness of the Moabites revealed
to her family and the loving kindness
i of Boaz, the wealthy Israelite, to Ruth,
his kinswoman. It also contains the
germ of that great heartedness which
j is the center of the gospel of Chris
tian love.
it is a book that opens with tears
! and famine and ends with the sound
. of wedding bells. The story turns
j upon the straightforwardness of Boaz,
who showed kindness and manliness
1 to Ruth, a member of a nation that
was Israel’s foe, and in that kindness
founded a new house, the house of
Jesse and David, the royal line that
| begat a greater than David.
Boaz is immortal among Bible
heroes for his kindness, his plain,
everyday generosity, his sense of pro
tection and care for the lonely, un
protected Moabitish girl, his dead
kinsman’s wife, who in her poverty
gleaned in his harvest field after the
reapers. Boaz gave orders to his
reapers that they should allow her
to glean even among the sheaves of
i barley and by his large heartedness
gained a wife and, more than that,
! made a place for himself in that im
mortal company which is renowned
for mu gilt but for being kind.

THE FIRST SKYSCRAPER
Credit for the first skyscraper built
in this country is generally conceded
to Chicago. It was built in the “loop
district” of that city in 1886, from
plans by Holabird & ltoche. The first
example of lofty building in New
York city was the structure at 50
Broadway, designed by Bradford Lee
Gilbert in 1888. A few years later
both these wonders became insigni
ficant and practically forgotten be
cause they were so greatly outdone
by succeeding skyscrapers. But these
were not the initial efforts, for a
skyscraper was designed nearly three
centuries ago, many generaions be
fore the discovery of the steel cage
sygtem of this day.
Jacques Perret, an architect of
t'hambery, Savoy, is the accredited
author of plans for an eleven story
building, 361 feet in height, which
must have had twice the space be
tween floors, for today eleven stories
are crowded within a height of 150
feet. Ferret's building was planned
to be 166 feet long and 140 feet wide,
with supporting walls twelve feet
thick at the base.
While never executed, the project
of Perret in many ways was a re
markable prophetic vision. Evident
ly it was intended for dwelling pur
poses, for in describing the project he
wrote, "This great and excellent edi
fice can accommodate comfortably 500
people.”—New York Post.

CANADIAN BRAVERY EXAMPLI
FIED.
OTTAWA, June 15.—Upward of 6,
i'00 Canadians have fallen within a
week in hte desperate fighting in and
around Sanctuary Wood according to
a statement of the minister of mili
tia, in presenting colors to a Canadian
regiment recently.
“The great majority, wounded,’’ he
said, “already are clamoring to get
back into the fray, but many of the
gallant lads have gone down never to
rise again. We deeply mourn their
loss, but that loss affords an inspira
tion for tens of thousands more to
take their places.”
Some details of the fighting came
through yesterday. General Hughes
received a cable message from the
front stating that Captain Nivin, the
only officer left of the Princess Pa
tricias, again distinguished himself.
Wounded on Friday, Jie was taken
back and reated at a dressing station.
;e went to the front trendies on Sat
urday and was again wounded, taken
back nd dressed; was at the front
again Sunday and was sent back for
further treatment.
Chaplain Wilkes, according to the
message, carried a rifle into the fight.
He used it as long as he could and
then Wielded a bayonet until the en
counter became too close for either,
when he went down using his fists.
Colonel Butler, commnding the
Princess Pats, was killed. He has
been a member of the Duke of Con
naught’s Canadian household.
The regiment has been shot to
pieces three times and now is back
from the front waiting for men to fill
the gaps that it may return to the
fighting line.
Thus far 334,209 Canadians have
been enlisted for overseas service.
Lance Corporal Alexander Cay
Tomory of Denver has been killed in
action, according to an overseas cas
salty list given out here last night.
