ART UNIONS
MORAL EFFECT ON COMMUNITY.
“Art Union Gambles” was the heading of a part of Archdeacon Mae Murray’s charge to the Anglican (Synod at Auckland last week. He denounced them as being inimical to industry and thrift.
“Lately,” said the Archdeacon, “there has been an* orgy of gambling fostered in the Dominion, and sanctioned by the Government under the name of art unions. The •name art union is only a sham to cover a hardly-disguised gamble. ‘At a. time of work! -wide depression, in which ouir own country shares, any scheme which appeals to get rich quick: is likely to have a greiuly response, and thereby many are led to think that the oldlashioned virtues of industry and thrift are out of date. It is well to i cmeimbjci' that the so-called art •'
■unions do not add one penny to the resources of the Dominion. They only shift the contributions of the many into the pockets of the one or two who are winners. The main evil lies in-the moral effect on the community in leading it to forget that work and thrift are fundamental principles of progress stamped upon the lives of men.”
