Third, the underlying causes of labor management disputes.
Let the sentiment in the industrial business world be in favour of a supreme service and the difficulties and trials of strikes and lockouts would disappear; the energy, time and money now spent in fighting could be turned to the benefit of employer, employee and consumer. Cooperation. Jesus never set class over against class. He mingled with the wise and the unwise, the rich and the poor.
