BISHOP PRAISES
CHURCH UNITY HERE
CenSureS WrangIing of Eng.
IiSh Editors.

LONDON, Oct. (SpeciaD The
Bishop of London, preaching at Pad
dington Sunday, said
There are several lessons /
brought back from America There
is far greater generosity, love and
trust between bodies of Christians and
between schools of thought in the
same church there than is here. 1t
was like another atmosphere to pass
from the wrangles of Great Britain in
to an atmosphere where they are un-
known. | found that the bitterness
which disgraces the church at home is
unknown in the United States al
though there are conscientious differ
ences there.
ut was quite shock, amid the love
and harmony there, to take up Eng
lish newspapers and read the reports
of the church congress here to find
the eternal wrangling which is going
on to-day and which has been going
on for fifty years.
And then what services we had out
there! Talk of lively services, talk of
a mechanical ritual! Why, l have
heard the rafters shake with praise,
and there was no sneaking home af-
terward, dispirited and discouraged" !"
The Bishop of London is the one
who defeated President Roosevelt in a
tennis contest while he was in Amer
lea.

GOMPERS MAY NOT BE
REELECTED NOV. II
Fight on Him in Labor
Federation.

NEW YORK, October 29.-(SpeciaD
Prospects for President Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor,
having to fight for reelection, are
good. The Federation will meet Nov.
Il.
A contest will be made in the con-
vention to knock oqt the reelection of
President Gompers and the present
members of the executive council.
There is a feeling that there should
be new blood among the executive
officers.
The action of President Gompers
and the executive council in suspend
ing the United Brewery Workers of
America for ignoring an order to
surrender jurisdiction over the en-
gineers, firemen, coopers and drivers
in the United Brewery Workers is re-
sented by several, especially the un-
ions with German members.
Meetings have been held by several
unions which are in sympathy with
the brewery workers, and they have
formed a league to demand the rein
statement of the United Brewery
Workers.
With the exception of one term,
Gompers has been president of the
federation for 20 years.
