in ordination of ministers who did not fully conform to ecclesiastical stand- ards of the Presbyterian Church. those who protested insisting exigencics of frontier life demanded occasional ex- captions to the established rule. Nu- merous efforts to unify the two church bodies made since that time have failed. Every effort In this direction was fruit less until the revision by the Presbyte- rians of their Confession of Faith in 1903, opened the way. Immediately following this. general committee was appointed by each church to form ulate basis upon which to effect union These committees met in St. Louis two years ago and began the steps that were completed today. the ultimate result of which will be union of the two churches in name and in fact.
 The general committee of the Presby- terian Church tonight sent reply to letter addressed to 1t from the com mittee appointed by those of the Cum berland Presbyterian Church. who have gone on record as being unalterably opposed to the union. The reply In substance states in answer to the as sertion that the Presbyterian church is not unanimously in favor of the union that perfect unanimity in such move ment is certainly desirable. but 1t is not by any ySmeans indispensable.
 Reply to the Dissenters.
 Were it always required in such cases, no progress would be made" !" says the letter. Besides, we are glad to correct your own misunderstanding with reference to the position of our church. At first the movement was opposed by some, but since the over whelming majority of our Presbyteries and two General Assemblies have ap- proved It. all have acauiesced in their action. No protest from any other quarter has been recorded against the action of our late General Assembly. and we can assure you that you will receive a cordial welcome to our fel- lowship.
 You further assure us, not as a threat, but in view of what you be- iieve to be your duty. that if the union is accomplished, you will appeal to the civil courts to protect your rights You are free to take such a course, but we earnestly hope and entreat that you will not do so. It is easy to perpetuate divisions, but how much moro Chris
 tianlike to heal them? We believe that with you, rather than with us. rests the responsibility for the peace of the church. and our earnest desire is that you will join with us in the completion of the work before us"

 The specific case on which the men were tried was one of many similar cases that have happened in Chicago In the past few years. Last April while Chris J Carlstrom. a non- union car riage worker, was returning home from work from a factory where strike was in progress, he was attacked by two men and severely injured. He died two weeks later from pneumonia con tracted, 1t was said, from exposure while lying on the frozen ground for several hours after he had been left unconscious by his assailants.
 George Meller, former president of the Carriage and Wagon Workers Union. turned States evidence and cited the Carlstrom affair as an instance of the work of the .'wrecking crew" as the union sluggers were called.
