ExpELs CARPENTERS UNION.
Labor Day Troubles Lend to Action
by Central Organization.

AS the result Of continued friction be-
tween the Western Central Labor Union
and the Carpenters and Joiners Local
Union. No. 1871. the central body, at its
last meeting expelled the latter organiza-
ton from membership as an affiliated
union.
The action is the direct result of trou-
bles which began shortly after last Labor
day, when members of the Carpentes
Union circulated the report that the com
mittee in charge of the Labor day pro-
gramme had manipulated that publication
for personal pecuniary profit. The charge
has since been brought up from time to
time at meetings of the Central Union
but the carpenters organization has fall
ed 1t is said, TO offer any substantiating
evidence Meanwhile the Carpenters
Union IL said to have refused to pay its
proportionate share Of the expenses of the
Labor day celebration.
The matter was reviewed at length in a
set OF resolutions presented at the last
meeting of the Western Central Labor
Union and the resolutions, including the
expulsion of the Carpenters Union, were
unanimously adopted.

DR.. Hutchinson has met the somewhat
novel charge against him with much euua-
nimity. He says that he has during the
five years of his ministry done all that
any man could be reasonably expected to
do. and that If his congregation so decides
he Will cheerfully step down from the
pulpit and allow some other man to as
sumo the reins of church government
While 1t has for some time been gener-
ally understood in the congregation that
DR. Hutchinson would probably not be Il
candidate for reelection at the beginning
or the aext church year, on March /, 1901
there has been no open opposition to him
until within the past few weeks. There

morning announced from the pulpit that

Thursday evening in the church parlors. a
mild sensation was caused.
1t had not been considered likely that
any test of the strength of the pastors
following would be made until the begin
ming of the church year, and that even
then the session, or board of nine having
charge OF the spiritual affairs of the con
gregation, would probably have entire
charge of the matter. The sudden an
nouncement of the fact that the session
had decided several months In advance of
the usual election to call for the advice
of the congregation in the matter OF
choosing a successor TO DR.. Hutchinson.
therefore has had the effect of develop
ing a rather animated controversy in the
congregation. Into the controversy many
who heretofore have been neutral have
been drawn and IL is possible that at the

feeling may rise to fever heat and an ex-
