The Proposed Change in the Name
of the Church Again Discussed.
RICHMOND, May 19.-In the Methodist
Episcopal Conference to-day Rev. w. NJ.
Prottsmeer, of the Southwest Missouri
Conference, presented an elaborate paper
as a substitute for the report OF the COM
mittee, eliminating the word "South'
from the name of the church and trans
posing the words Methodist Episcopal
to episcopal Methodist" The substi-
tute was rejected and the report of the
committee against changing the name
was adopted.
j. E. Edwards, of Virginia, offered a
resolution that ministers be excused from
reading the discipline rules annually to
congregations, and that the question
whether they did or did not read them be
not asked at the quadrennial conference.
DIR. j. b. Blackwell, of Virginia, spoke
at length in favor of the proposition.
DR.. Thomas &. Weir OF North Mssis-
sippi. DIR. Johnson OF Mississippi, and DR..
McFerrin OF Tennessee, spoke in opposi-
ton.
DR.. T. j. Dodd, of Tennessee, and others
favored the change 10 earnest speeches.
At the conclusion Of the discussion DR..
Edwards resolution was rejected.
DR.. Kelly and Judge Tyler, of Tennes-
see, offered a resolution authorizing the
establishment of conferences in China
and Brazil aud authority to legalize own
ership of property in these countries. 1t
was referred.

SHORT DAYS A FAILURE.
UNIVERSAL ACCEPTANCE MEG
ESSARY TO SUCCESS.

Employers Running on the Eight-HOur
Plan Unable to Compete with Their
en-HOur Rivals-ChicagO Pork Pack
ers Determine to Return to The Old
Schedule or Shut Down.
CHICAGO, May 19.-Several of the prom
inent meat packers were interviewed
yesterday aud last evening as to whether
they would return to the ten-hour rule
next week. The movement will affect
directly or indirectly 10000 persons.
There are about 10000 men employed in
nine houses at yards, and butchers and
others will bring the total up to the fig
ures mentioned. They are all more or
less connected with the packing houses,
and should the packers carry out their
threat to shut down in case the
men make trouble about returning
to the old time, they would necessarily be
injured Armour e Co. say: 1--WE cannot
go on as we are now. 1t is simply out of
the question. We must either return to
the old system or close up. There is no
was mistake ever to give the men eight
hours. At Kansas City, Boston and other
places the men are working ten hours,
and we cannot begin to compete with
them. Before the eight-hour movement
was inaugurated we had some show by
being satisfied with small PROFITS, but
now we have none at ALL"
THE FEELING GENERAL.
A visit TO other packing houses showed
the same state OF affairs. The American
Packing Company, Fowler Bros, Swift a.
Sons, the Chicago Packing and Provision
Company, and all the others have decided
"a nOfifv THAR 10
tinue under the present system. They
were not certain when the return to the
old hours would be made.
Sidney A. Kent said he had been the
first to make the change, and thought
it might benefit the men. awhile
we are working but eight-hours,"
said he, "The st. Louis and Kansas City
packers are working their men ten hours.
The men are beginning TO see that short
hours and full pay operates against the
packers and that we cannot stand the
competition. | agreed with my men TO
try the experiment for a month. 1t was
only an experiment, however, and we all
understood it as SUCH"
FEELING OF THE MEN.
What the men will do is rather difficult
10 find out. One of the members of their
Executive Committee says: 'We don't
want to strike, and have not advocated it,
although we most certainly have asked
for the eight-hour plan. We propose to
hold the bosses to it now. We have per-
fected an organization and intend to stand
by our colors."
1t is understood, however, that the nom
union workers, and great many union
men aside from the delegates, do not
share their sentiments, and say that they
we're we'll satisfied with their positions
before an organization for any demand
was agitated, and great many OF the
men do not relish the idea Of being thrown
out of work all summer.

Ing daily paper here received letter last
night from Anarchist Parsons in reply to
an article which appeared in the paper on
the treatment Of mobs. 1t is very incO-

lows: mankind, mob or military are sus-
tanned in their actions by a majority of
brain fitted at the time by circumstances
they appreciate TO control. Thoroughly

tally, morally, indHstrially, politically.

plicatiOn of righteOusly incuicated dispO-
tum in parVo. The lame cured
will throw away their crutches.
Men OF enterprise and labor,
many of your kind, wise and otherwise,
are sinking in the sluggish current Of the
river OF despair. The pOssessors OF life
saving apparatus on shore are refusing 10
use them because they own them and
claim the only right TO use the same and
refuse to satisfy the brute force of not
completely educated public sense OF
property rights. The brute force OF the
near future will be arbitration, accelera-
tion Of its adoption hurried probably by
the dangerous brute force OF despair
dynamite. This world is garden. We
must keep hOeing out the weeds-prOud,
