STRIKES LABELLED AS UNCIVILISED
OFFICIAL OF MORMON CHURCH
ADDRESS IN AMERICA Labour’s strike weapon “breeds lawlessness, eventuates in anarchy and will destroy any government or society,” Albert E. Bowen, a member of the Council of Twelve Apostles of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) Church, declared recently, states the Christian Science Monitor. An audience estimated at upward of 10,000 church members, there for the second day of a semi-annual church conference, heard Mr Bowen score strikes as “uncivilised.” “Our method of handling these industrial disputes belongs to an age of barbarism and is a national disgrace,” said Mr Bowen. He advocated a “body of law enforced by impartial tribunals,” as a means of the solution of labour disputes. Mr Bowen said religious freedom is endangered by labour disputes ‘because if the inexcusable condition is not corrected totalitarian government always comes in and destroys religious liberty.” George Albert Smith, Church President, previously told the conference that the spread of Christianity was the only way of bringing peace to a turbulent world.
