PARTNERS IN INDUSTRY.

A PLEA FOR THE WORKERS.

Addressing the Church Congress at Leicester on October 15th., the Rev. A. J. Carlyle, Chaplain, and Lecturer in Political Science at University College, Oxford spoke on Christian ideals of citizenship and service in industrial life, with special reference to the reorganisa tion of Capital and Labour on a Caria tian basis and the question of nationall- sation

He said that economists had recognised that there lay at the bottom of all re lations between Capital and Labour a fundamental basis of opposition of in. terests. That was what was called by the Socialists a class war, but that doc. trine was invented by Adam Smith The doctrine was opposed to the Christian faith. The real enemy of Christianity in the industrial world was not "the sceptic who spoke at the street corner; it had been and was now in the industrial Täystem itself.

REVOLT AGAINST MASTERSHIP.

In the industrial world they spoke of masters and men, bat surely we Christian people considered the Christian man & freeman and not a slave. Yet, in the in- dustrial world such had been its organi- sation in the past that the control had been practically antirely in the hands of the employing elames. There was a revolt against mastership. Some basty people thought that this revolt was against leadership, but that was not true.

How might they hope, to escape from these con ditionis p

We had to secure a standard and con- dition of life for the wage-earner and take it out of the chaotic conflict of antagonistic passions and powers Wal had to view it from the interest of the whole community and the principles of humanity and Christianity. The pro posed legal minimum wage and legal maximum hours was the beginning of all beginnings; There was no getting away from the restlessness of the worker under mastership. It was not leading to anarchy What the workers were "claim. ing was that they should not be looked on merely as servanta but as partners in the industrial world. (Choara)
