During the past four years the two great publishing houses of the Gen eral Conference~ have had a good deal of trouble with labor unions. especially with the typographical union The resolution is the oHtgrowth of this and the desire of the Methodist Episcopal Church forget fin closer touch with la boring men and women: 's' "s'+ '''a
