The Church and Labor Question Surfaces in Meeting
At a Methodist Ministers Association gathering in Indianapolis the split between the church and laboring men was debated. Statistics showed only about half of laboring men were enrolled in the church. A debate on who counts as laboring prompted remarks, with a pastor insisting the term covers all workers. The group blamed the saloon for alienation and noted Methodist membership among laborers is high, second only to Catholics, with strong church handling of laborers.
