Every indication points to a revival of religious inter- PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS AND ORGANIZED LABOR tililer citizens will recall that some fifteen or twenty ago the employees of a local railroad called a strike. The management of the railroad imported strike' breakers and attempted to run the trains. Shota were fired at the train crews along the route of the road and trains were even wrecked. Every act of violence apparently met with the'r-ilent approval of the people. After several weeks of ineffectual ef- lortdto operate the trains, the whole system came to a s($hdstill. The manager of the railroad sued for a settlement. An agreement was reached whereby the strikers gained practically every point for which iheycontended. Public sentiment was with the workmen. '•The railroad officials after years of continued suc cess became arrogant and grasping and they found .tyUemthe test came that the course they had pur sued diad so aroused public sentiment against them that they could look to no one for support and there WM nothing to do but to capitulate. NJJW observe the changed attitude of the people. The early part of this year a strike was called on the^Hissouri and North Arkansas railroad. Again strike breakers were imported. Grave disorders en sued which finally culminated in the lynching of one of ttye striking workmen. But in this case the trains wereCoperated. The employees, fighting-alone, were fordid to give up the struggle. Public sentiment was against the workmen.

They failed to consider the publfc in 'their.deliberations and in their demands and the public abandoned them.

S-- Sav ings System tells what the Government Is doing to en- , couple the people to practice economy and thrift Abouft elve years ago the Postal Savings System was catobBihed. chiefly for the benefit of the foreign- born who would trust their earnings only with the Government for safe keeping. During: the war the national savings movement grew in importance when wap takings stamps and certificates were sold to, persons of small means who wanted a safe investment and-who patriotically wished to meet the requests of Uid government for money to carry on the war. - •But these savings securities were'not adapted to aftgfcwar conditions, and a new method to carry on ings movement was devised. The Government i System was reorganized and Treasury savings ates were issued to take the place of war sav- s securities. New life was injected into the system it is now working upon broad lines.

News has recently made a can vass of the nation by sending out questionaires on the subject of re ligious activities and the results of the inquiries have been most satisfactory, showing the trend of the times is for a rapid return of a sane, sober and religious thought throughout the nation. Editorial ly, the News says: Answen to a recent question naire indicate that church attend ance in all parti of the United States is steadily increasing. The growing church attendance is only one of many indications that the post war slump in the religious world is ovef. Gifts and mission ary offerings, running into hun dreds of millions yearly, are ad vancing. Week-day religious edu cation is spreading. Parish houses and social programs are helping to attract scores of thousands of adolescent boys and girls to church and Sunday schools. Sum mer institutes for the study of city and rural problems, for de votional study and specialised I training in the religious field, are' growing at a remarkable rate. College and unvenity student: show an increased interest in spfrtua! matters.
