Michigan diocese of the Episcopal
church, said Tuesday morning that
he hao received no intimation OF any
kind In regard 70 the reported resis-
nation OF the Rev. Joseph Ryerson OF
the Peoples tabernacle, which was re-
Gently converted into mission OF the
Episcopal church.
Some dissatisfaction was manifested
when the church gave up It's non-sec-
tartan status, anG split In the con-
gregation was threatened. No serious
difficulty took place at that time, how
ever, but there seems to be q serious
uprising on just now. At the close

Mr.. Ryerson that a petition was being
circulated among the congregation for
a reconsideration OF the vote taken to
make the church an Episcopalian mis-
sion. He also said that the petition
had been signed by upwards OF 10
members of the congregation, and that
a meeting would be held Tuesday night
to take action in the matter.
Mr.. Ryerson made no comment OH
the announcement, merely advising
the members of the congregation TO
govern themselves as they deemed ad-
visable.
Mr.. Mackenzie declares that many
members OF the congregation object
to being ''railroaded" into an Episco-
palian church and will enter strong
protest at the meeting tonight
DR.. c. M. Stafford, trustee Of the
church, has rendered his resignation.

Pastor Ryerson could not be reached
at his home Monday morning. His

IN THE COMPLAINT
Want TO Pre- Cool and Ice Their
Own Cars in
Transit.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept BE
fore Commissioner Prouty OF the inter
state commerce commission, attorneys
for the citrus fruit shippers of south.
ern California began today their legal
attack upon the transcontinental rail
roads In the matter Of icing shipments
Of fruit consigned to the long haul
across the country.
The shippers contend that the rail
road charge of from $50 to SIS per
car for icing is exorbitant. They ask
the commission to compel the transpor
tation companies to allow them TO pro
cool their own fruit and ice their own
cars for shipment. They charge that
the railroads do not pre-cool the fruit
properly before putting it in the cars,
and that the icing is improperly dones
so that-the cars have to be re-iced en-
route to the east, thus adding to the
expense of shipment.
The railroads enter a general denial
and assert that they are doing the best
that can be done with fruit shipments.
