LIVING WAGE ADVOCATED.
The Council of the Churches, in a manifesto signed by leading clergymen and philanthropists, advocates a living wage because of Christian principles. It states that the signatories believe that the Churches are not exercising anything like the proper influence within thoir power upon social life.
