quested to see that members of the
union in future do not Join the Na

that thi central body should consider

members of labor unions." he con
tinued, " the soldiers would hardly
care to shoot their fellow-workers nhen
on strike. I want to see battalions,
regiments In fact on army of mi
litia composed of trades unionists.
They would be better than the United
Stales army."
"I am a member of the National
Guard," another member sai l, " and
I am not ashamed of It. 3ut n-ere I
called upon to shoot down working
men on a strike, I would resign."
The decision was to allow the sub
ject to rest until after the end of the

NEW YORK, Aug. 11-The Central
Federated Union, of this city, has re
ceived a letter from Samuel Gomper.
president of the American Federation

ry In the ranks of organised labor.
It would be following the policy of
the enemies of labor to cause a split

ItlUNSAULUS WINS NEW LAURELS.
Preaches In City Temple and Audience
Is Spellbound by Hi Eloquence. -
NEW YORK, Aug. 18. The Rev. Dr.
Gunsaulus, of Chicago, has created a
profound Impression by hi preaching
in Dr. Parker's' pulpit In the City
Temple, says the Tribune's London cor
respondent, and adds:
The Chicago preacher's high Intellec
tuality, great fluency and poetlo view,
held the congregation spellbound ' at
the morning service. In the course of
a sermon, In which was shown how
vain was the man's effort to span the
mighty distance between earth and
heaven and discover the seeret of the
Almighty flame, the preacher for a mo
ment descended from his poetle plane
and, with dramatic outspokenness un
familiar to frequenters of the City
Temple, actually excited the listeners
into a demonstration of applause. It
I quite unususal, even at the City
Temple, for Sunday worshippers loud
ly to express their feelings, although
at Dr. Parker' Thursday services, the
addresses were occasionally Interrup
ted by' murmurs of approval. Dr.
Gunsaulus can, therefore, regnrd the
cheering as a very exceptional compli
ment of his powers of oratory.
