About the Author, Stelzle, Charles

The Rev. Charles Stelzle, a Presbyterian Church pastor, established the Labor Temple in New York City in 1910. The Labor Temple was a church but also a meeting space, union hiring hall, and school. Stelzle, a proponent of the social gospel, promoted the establishment of similar Labor Temples nationwide (although many of them were secular in nature).
