WILL AID
STRIKING
Switchmen in Their Fight for Their
Rights---A. F. of L. Will Lend
Assistance.

Acting on the suggestion of President
Gompcrs, of the American Federation of
Labor, H. b. Perham has issued a call
for a special meeting of the railroad en-
ploycs department, to be held in ST
Paul on December IS. This will take
the place OF the meeting which was to
have been held in January, 1910, and the
date FOR which was set by the federation
meeting at Toronto
The change in time of the gathering
and the fact that it is to be held in
st. Paul, the central point in the strike
of the railway switchmen, now being
waged against thirteen Northern and
Northwestern railroads, are taken to
mean that the railroad employers de-
Partment, with Il total strength of nearly
100000 men, is going to be prepared to
cast its entire strength with the striking
switchmen. Whether general strike of
the ten branches of the department is to
be called in the event of failure of the
switchmcn to settle their labor troubles,
Perham would not say.
The wording of the call, which is
signed by Perhan, chairman of the de
partment suggests. however, that the
chief cause OF the important change of
the plans is the switchmen s strike. The
purpose of the meeting is to advise and
co operate with the switchmen,'' said
Perham. but just what action will be
taken no one knows
The organizations Of which the de-
partment is composed are the Inter
national brotherhood of Blacksmiths.
Roilermakers and Shipbuilders of Amer
ica, International Association Of Car
Workers, International Association of Ma
ciiuists. International Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees. Brother
hood of Freight Handlers, Order of Rail

DELIVERS FINE
ADDRESS HERE
Elizabeth Clergyman Speaks
in Presbyterian Chapel to
Large Audience.
WORK i'm The CHURCH

The large number Of men that gath.
cred at the Presbyterian chapel last
night to hear Rev. DR.. W. f. Whitaker,
of Elizabeth, were well repaid. In one
of the best addresses ever delivered
here he gave an enlarged sense of OPP
portunity and aroused them to readi-
ness for action.
One Of his strongest points was that
in the past most of the thought and
energy Of the churches had been spent
on unimportant matters, and that now
we have come to realize the important
thing There have been four stages:
First, that of creed when men bumped
their heads against each other about
matters Of doctrine that have little
value in practical life; second, the pc
riod Of control when men spent their
thought and did their wrangling about
church government, and as a matter of
fact our churches take their names not
from what they believe or what they
do, but from their form of government,
as Presbyterian, Congregational, Epis-
copal; third, the period of cult, and
long controversies have been waged
over how we shall worship, with ritual
VI WlinVhiy Win HlubiG OF
without sing psalms only or any inspir-
ing song; fourth, the present period
when men are beginning TO realize that
the great work is the work of service
for our fellowmen. But, oh what
years and money, and anxiety and good
disposition have been wasted in these
useless controversies. Let us do some
thing to help our felowmen," he said.
After the address Mr.. Minton called
the society to order and it was decided
TO hold the meetings on the first Mon
day night Of each month.
a committee was appointed to nomi,
nate officers for the coming year. This
committee will report at the next meet

&C ENSUS DIRECTOR
NORTH OUSTEO
FROM JOB

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.
1t was stated officially at the
White House today that Census
Director North has resigned and
that e. Dana Durand, deputy COM
missioner of corporations, has
been named to succeed him.
The announcement of the resig-
nation of North was made at the
close of conference between
President Taft and Secretary of
Commerce and Labor Charles Ma
gel. 1t is understood that Nagel
demanded the resignation as a re-
suit of the investigation recently
ordered by the president.
1t was explained that the resig-
nation was presented because of
the existence of certain conditions
that appeared likely to continue
and which probably would operate
to make North's administration
unsuccessful.
