LABOR inspectors
REPORT april WORK

Charles II. Grantland. State labor
inspector. and Miss Mary S. Malone
assistant inspector. held a conference
this morning with President Charles
Warner, Of the State Labor Commits
sion. relative 10 the work of April.
II was found that the laws is working
well and that employment certificates
we're issued to children and every
thing done 10 assist in the work by
Superintendent Scott and his assist
ant Miss Culberson.
There are two things which lnspec-
tor Grantland desires 10 impress on
the public:
First It is absolutely necessary
that all school children desiring TO
be employed during the vacation must
get their school records before the
schools close, as many Of the teach
ers will be out Of the city during the
vacation period.
Second-There is a lack Of cooper
alton on the part og business men who
employ boys for errand work. They
must remember that children cannot
be employed for more than fifty-fonr
hours a week. and only then between
the hours Of Z a. m. and s p. m.
Street traders cannot be employed
later than o'clock General and
special certificates must be obtained
in the several classes of cases.
Mr.. Grantland finds that the manu-
facturers of the city are cooperating
with the inspector in enforcing the
law.

PRESBYTER|ANS IN
new Disagreement
Say Licensing of Union
Seminary Graduates
is Critical
PROTEST IS
BEING CIRCULATED

NEW YORK, May S.-Preshyterians
throughout the country are becoming
stirred up over what the more
orthodox clergymen of that faith call
the scandal" of the New York pres
bytery in its relations with the Union
Theological Seminary. The seminary
renounced its jurisdiction of the
Presbyterian Church following the
trial and acquittal OF the Rev Or.
Charles A. Briggs for heresy by the
New York Presbytery. and his sus-
pension by the general assembly.
The scandal" took two new turns
yesterday following the publication
that there had been circulated among
clergymen and prominent laymen a
pamphlet entitled Does the Presby-
terry of New York Need Visitation? p"
written by the Rev. Or. John Fox,
a member Of the Presbytery. and ac-
companied by a protest, signed by
several ministers, against the action
os the Presbytery in sustaining the
examination in theology of Messrs.
FIT, Darr, Chamberlain and Carter,
candidates for licensure; and after
rejecting a motion to delay for a
month proceeding Immediately to IL
cense them to preach the gospel"
All the candidates we're from the
Union Theological Seminary.
1t became known that another Or
thodox circular. said TO be an attack
upon the Union Theological Seminary
and the New York presbytery. has
found its way into the hands of clergy
men and laymen in anticipation of the
meeting of the general assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church at Rochester two
weeks hence. This circular was prepar-
ed by the Rev. DR.. Mark A. Matthews
of Seattle, a former assembly modera.
tor and chairman of the Union Semi.
nary committee, and bears the name.
of $50 prominent leaders in the Pres
byterian Church.
Among those who signed the cir
cular. which came out of the west
were the Rev. DR.. Maitland Alex
ander. of Pittsburgh, present modera
tor Of the general assembly: three
preceding moderators; several New
York ministers; the Rev. Dr. J. vii
bur Chapman. the evangelist; JohI
Wanamaker. elder of Bethany
/ Church, Philadelphia. and Frank G
Loesch, of Chicago. elder and counse
of the Pennsylvania Railroad who Il
a member of the assemblys Uniol
Seminary committee of investigation
This protest recites that there i
deep unrest. and therefore minister
ought to preach sound doctrine
from their pulpits, especially regard
ing the divinity of Christ and tn
