INDUSTRIAL UNREST
ATTITUDE OF THE CHURCHES. TO DEFEND CAPITAL AND LABOUR, (Received This Morning, 12.10 o'clock.) LONDON, October 1. Addressing the Church Congress at Middlesborough, the Archbishop of York said the keynote of the Congress would be the churches' appeal in regard to the industrial unrest. There had, he said, been much violence, rancour and mischievous talk: Yet they saw an honest desire to provide more decent lives for the workers. The business of the Churches was to see that the rights of capital and labour were defended, and to insist that neither neglected thenduties. Labour had a right to seek •shorter hours and higher wages, and to strengthen the Trade Union bond; but it must work harder in the shorter hours, and honestly earn the higher wages.
