II the Socialists, who were UP In arms
against the admission of the clergymen,
would carry the day. Mr.. Littlefield,
who sat through the whole proceed
ings turned the tide by a little speech
he made before the vote was taken. The
conditions under which the two clergy
men were admitted provided that they
are to have neither voice nor vote.
No less than twenty three speakers
talked on the subject. most of them
against the admission of the clergymen

said August Gildmeister of the Atlantic
Coast Seamen's union. "This body has
only to do with earthly things. Before
we look after our souls we ought to
see that our bodies are not starving"
Ephraim Kaufman of the Clothing
Cutters union scored the delegates for
their narrowness. as also did former
Assemblyman Prince. who represented
the Cigarmakers' union.
The speeches which followed were a
medley of Socialism, trade unionism and
religion. Mr.. Littlefield finally got the
privilege of the floor.
II represent a closed shop" he said,
and he was interrupted with shouts OF
applause. Then he explained that his
closed shop was the ministry. every
member of which had to be thoroughly
qualified. 1" want to say" he contin-
ued. that I am getting a church built
and none but union men will be allowed

More applause followed, and Mr.. Lit.
tlefield went on to say that all the min
listers wanted was to get a chance Of
investigating labor conditions at the
fountain head, and invited the delegates
to send representatives to the meetings
OF the presbytery. His speech turned
the scale, and by a vote of 6S to 23 1t
was decided to admit the pastors.
