Show ONE OF THE WONDERS OF OUR TIME Christian System Works Well Some time in the days of Pres. Wm. Howard Taft, members of the Teamster's Union, the Chicago Truckers, Were working 10 to 12 hours for $11.00 a week with no extra allowance for overtime, no vacation with pay and no social security whatever. They asked for a small raise. After due consideration the company granted them a raise, of 25c a week, which they accepted. Such is the truth from their current magazine. Contrast this with the following: A union man died recently. Under the social security law, put through by the present administration, the wife, as the millionth beneficiary, was allowed $25.07 a month for herself, and $16.71 for each of her two children until the youngest is 18, making a total of $58.07 coming into her home every month. By the time the youngest child is 18 there will have been paid to her $11,271.00. We are "foolish" enough to call that Christ-like Christianity Christ-ianity in action. What a long, hard road labor has traveled to attain to this end. |
