ELECTRICAL UNIONS
TO DISCUSS PLAN TO
ADJUST TROUBLES
Must Take Action to Mend
Relations With Labor
g Bodies.

The two electrical local unions will
hold meetings in the near future to
decide upon future course to adjust
themselves to the outcome of the four
years war in the international broth
erhood, which terminated so unex-
pectedly for them.
The two local unions, the inside work
ers and the outside workers, both sup
ported the Reid faction in the war. AS
one result of this they not only en-
countered a good bit of internal strife,
but were suspended from the washing
ton Central Labor Union for their
stand for Reid, in defiance of the Amer
tcan Federation of Labor. Now the
courts have decided against Reid.
More than four years ago a factional
war split the international union in
twain. For long time the local men
swung to the Reid faction. The NC
fsIrss refEsed to 0 Sc dislodsed' tt so' and ID the the
Reid men appealed to the courts. In
their petition they asked for the con
erhood, and held by the McNulty men.
In a decision in the common pleas
court In Cleveland. where the action
war filed, Judge Phillips held for the
petition and giving McNulty control of
the treasury, and the $4,000, which,
for four years has been held in trust
at per cent interest. Judge Phillips
asked the two factions to get together,
but attorneys for the Reid faction de-
clared that they would take the case
to the supreme court If necessary.
Trouble began in the international
union at the election four years ago
when T. J. Reid, of Eria, Pa, opposed
II. N. Uulty, Of Newark, N. J.. for the
presidency. This trouble resulted In the
calling of special convention in
Springfield. ILL.,, in 1908, and the elec-
tion Of Reid as president.
McNulty and his following, Constitut-
ing about IS per cent of the 10000 men,
bers of the organization, held that the
election of Reid was Illegal under the
constitution of the Organization. and
that the McNulty dynasty was still
In power.
He held that the call for the special
Reid convention issued by Local, No. !,
of st. Louis, was illegal under the
constitution and that the action of the
board of directors did not legally ratify
the calling of the convention.
The McNulty faction was recognized
by the American Federation of Labor,
and the local unions were so notified
and ordered to affiliate themselves with
the recognized organization. This they
declined to do, and as consequence
they were suspended, and are not now
members of the Central Labor Union.
lust what action they will take, in view
of Judge Phillips decision has not been
determined.

MONEY AND CHURCHES.

The amount of money spent upon
their churches is always some gauge
of a peoples devotion. People do
not spend great sums of money on
their churches, and rob themselves of
the Injuries and even the necessities
of life, unless they believe in their
religion and the things for which it
stands. In every Russian village the
church is the great building of the
region. With its golden domes and
its curious double crosses, it towers
above all the homes and stores and
factories. The village may consist
Of squalid huts, but the church is
often stately, or, if more humble, is
