.FlREMEN DECIDE
UPON A STRIKE
How Chicago & Alton Men
Hope to Secure Raise
in Wages.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-The locomotive
tremens employed by the Chicago &
Altenprailroad have decided to go on
strike to- enforce the demands pre-
scented to the officials of the road Dec.
for an increase of 121s per cent in
wages. The decision of the men was
reached by a referendum vote This
vote will be counted tomorrow at
Bloomington, III.
Word was received from Blooming
ton tonight that the vote would be al
most unanimous for a strike. John j.
Hanrahan, grand master of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive FiFemen, went to
Bloomington tonight and it is said will
issue the strike order as soon as the
vote is counted unless the railroad Off
Gals agree to the demands of the
men.
Roads Have Not Refused.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-A general request
was made today by the trainmen and
conductors wage increase committees
that the officials of the Western roads fix
a date for a conference. Grand Master P
III. Morrissey, Of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Ira in1nen, tonight said that, reports
to the contrary Notwithstanding, the de-
mand for 20 per cent increase had not
been rejected by the Western roads, and
that the two committees are yet in po
sition to agree upon terms.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The churches
of the United States failed conspicu-
ously to keep pace in their member
ship growth with the annual growth
in population, if figures Just prepared
by DIR. II. K. Carroll, a Protestant au-
thority, are to be relied upon. That
they are accurate is indicated by the
facts that DR.. Carroll was the govern
ment statistican Of churches in 1890,
and that yearly since then he has made
these tables, which are the standard
for all almanacS, and church leaders
who reckon upon the progress of re-
l1g1on as against SO-called evil forces.
DR.. Carroll, in his figures for 1902,
makes the total membership gain of
everything in the United States, Ro-
man Catholic, Protestant, Christian
Science, Doweism and all the rest, only
403,743. He puts the total membership
at the present time at 28,689,02S The
gain for the year is but ~ per cent,
whereas, since 1890 the population has
been increasing 2 6-100 per cent a
year.
The extraordinary showing which DR..
Carroll makes is concerning Roman
Catholics. He has a classification
which includes all kinds of Catholics,
for there are no fewer than eight Cath
Ole churches in America, but the reg
ular Roman Catholic body he credits
with gain in membership last year
of only 1854, which is rs of 1 per
cent. To Substantiate his statements
he gives the methods by which, as he
says, Catholic priests arrive at figures
He says vital statistics exclude infants
and various people not admitted to the
communion, and make IS per cent of
what Catholics call population. In
turn, population includes all baptized
persons. Figures SO obtained, this sta
tistician affirms, are entitled to but
little respect.
Catholics Lose Most.
1t is the Roman Catholic showing
that pulls the figures for 1902 down,
and DR.. Carroll says that Protestant
growth in all principal bodies has been
prosperous. Last year the Roman
Catholic growth was twice the figure
for this year, because he explains that
last year Catholic prelates revised their
estimates; this year they have not done
so. He puts the figures at normal this
year, and makes the total regular Cath
Ole communicate list in the United
States 9,401, 798, or 1,575,G GOO fewer than
are claimed by the Catholic directory
as population. Other Catholic bodies
gained sufficient number, notably the
Polish Catholics, to bring the total
Catholic growth, all eight bodies, to
12O,634. The Protestant growth alone
he puts at IL per cent, or considerably
more than twice the regular Catholic
growth.

delayed by the absence of witnesses.

40 per cent since 1890. The Syrian
orthodox church appears for the first
time this year, with four congregations
under three priests and one bishop.
DIR. Carroll complains that Christian
Science figures are hardly possible to
be obtained, because so many members
belong both to local churches and to
the parent organization in Boston He
feels sure, however, that their number
does not much exceed $4,000 in the
whole country
Year Books Disagree.
Complaint is also made of differing
claims of Lutherans. OF the various
bodies several publish year books, and
all pretend tc give statistics for all
Lutherans in America. But no two
year books agree. DR.. Carroll says he
has endeavOred from original sources
to ascertain the facts and believes he
has done SO. Speaking of Unitarians
he is unable satisfactorily to explain
their term adherents, and he declares
that II instructions given by the COM
pller of the last Unitarian year book
were followed the figures obtained are
quite unreliable. He concludes from
information of his own that the body
is not growing. He puts the communi-
cant list at 1000.
Following are the best known relig-
ious bodies, with the latest figures Of
the communicate membership, and
their respective percentages of growth
during 1902, arranged in the order of
each percentage. Figures are for mem
bers within the United States:
Methodists North, including those in
mission fields, pass this year the 3.0OO,
600 mark in membership. In order of
UNCONVENTIONAL families, with their
respective memberships within the
United States and not including mis-
sion fields, the total and percentages
