PHILADELPHIA, March Alt
is possible that a conflict of au-
thority between local and national
labor leaders may result from the
order of the Central Labor union
here to all union men Of PhiladeI-
phia to quit work under penalty of
not being considered unionists. In
most of the trades the international
organizations have ordered their
men to remain at work, thereby ad-
vising them to ignore the orders Of
the Central Labor union. As re-
suit, It Is expected here that few of
the union men who are now at work
will obey the central unions order.
The general order to the milk
men, bakery wagon drivers, ice
wagon drivers and others who deliv-
er necessities, to quit work was
not generally obeyed today.
The majority of these men re-
mained at work, although few
failed to appear this morning. The
city was quiet during the early
hours today. A canvass indicates
that most of the men who quit
work last week are still out.
This would indicate that the labor
leaders are still holding their men
in line and that their predictions of
further defections from the ranks
of the workers may be fulfilled.

declared to him that the man who had
set his hand to the plow and then
looked back was not nt for the king

disciples of Christ If they want to look

returned to his family he would be
attracted by something and never re-
turn to him. Men who would follow
Christ must not say, 81 will follow
thee, but for such men are not

Christ all things must be sacrificed :.
Men must let go of things entirely and
follow the Master.
Dr. Dawson asked what love is
there that Is of value i'm which there
is no sacrifice. Only that love which
is willing to cast all other things aside
and be content i'm that love alone is of
the sort which men and women want.
