STAR, WASHINGTON, COUGHLIN OPPOSES “SHARE THE WORK” Principles Ranging From Limita- tion on Profits to Ban on Strikes Advocated by Priest. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, December 3.—Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, organizer of the National Union for Social Justice, yes- terday outlined seven principles of the union ranging from limitation of the profits of industry to a declaration that “strikes and lockouts are abso- lutely unnecessary.” Father Coughlin discussed a “share the work” movement which he attrib- uted to the United States Chamber of Commerce and described as “the Siamese twin to ‘share poverty-ism.’” “I forewarn you,” he said, “be not misled by any half truth and half- baked policy which will advocate a 30-hour week or even a 20-hour week which does not envision a yearly sal- ary sufficient to meet the requirements of your standard of living.” He listed his social justice principles as follows: 1. Government limitation of profits acquired by any industry. 2. A suf- ficient livelihood for every worker. 3. Production of all industrial goods possible. 4. Legislation for a mini- 1 | mum annual wage and a maximum working schedule. 5. Re-establish- ment of vocational groups. 6. Depart- ment of Labor assistance to labor in | negotiations with capital. 7. Making strikes and lockouts unnecessary. = . Westminster, England, will abolish all horse transport.
