Clergyman Urges Labor Rights and Sabbath Rest in St Louis
Rev Frank Tyrrell opened a lecture series on Labor and Capital at Central Christian Church urging society to recognize workers as essential. He warned that clerks, bookkeepers, stenographers, and laborers are treated as furniture and urged enforcement of Sunday laws and a Saturday half holiday to improve health, morals, and productivity. He argued higher wages for equal work and protections for women, widows, and orphans, and condemned dangerous, unsanitary workplaces and modern life’s rush.

National Alliance Demands Outline Progressive Reforms
The document, attributed to A. Southworth, outlines a platform for the National Alliance and Life Union demanding public ownership of monopolies, a national currency, free coinage of silver and gold, graduated income tax, postal savings banks, government control of railroads and telegraphs, land reform, direct election of U S Senators, and direct legislation via initiative and referendum. It argues for eminent domain to remove private monopolies, money in citizens hands, and limited government revenues. It also calls for land reclamation from aliens and non-speculative holdings by corporations.
