Some comment has been created among

Board of Trade over the fact that former
Mayor Joseph 7. Riordan, of Harrison, has
not received an invitation to attend the
annual banquet of that organization, which
will be held wednesday night at the City
Hall. Harrison. A meeting of the banquet
committee OF the board was held last
night to make final arrangements for the
affair, and some of the members asked
Joseph A. Riordan, who Is chairman of the
banquet committee. why eX-Mayor Rior-
dan was not invited.
Mr.. Riordan said today that he did not
know whether the former Mayor received
an invitation or not
Former Mayor RiOrdan stated today that
he did not get an invitation, and he said
he would not go to the dinner il he did
get one.
There is said to be bitterness between
the two Riordans. who are first cousins,
caused by the Davis avenue paving epi-
sode. when Joseph p. Riordan favored
bitulithic and Joseph A. Riordan voted for
telford. Neither would enter into the sub
! jeet today.

his family. In general the church denies
this allegation and charges that the labor
ing man is suspicious of its friendly ad-
vances and that, treated as class, wage
earners are the hardest to reach of any
class in American communities.
But labor has a champion in the Mont
clair minister who is trying TO bridge the
gap with understanding.
Mr.. Stelzle was born among New YORK
tenement houses, and as boy he worked,
as east side New York boys have to
work, at anything that would help in the
family support. He became interested IN
an east side Presbyterian mission, decided
to study for the ministry and finally Sc
cured his theological education in the
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. When he
became a minister he did not cease to be
a worker and friend of workers. He has
never become an eccleslastic and is as
much at home on the platform of labor
union as in the pulpit of church.
