The workers, members of the Oil, Chemical and. Atomic Workers Union, said they would return to their jobs if ordered by the- court. Allen H. BurgesS, vice president in, charge of company operations testified at the hearing Wednesday that “a very hazardous condition” exists as a result of gas escaping from broken mains ihto sewers.

" A Methodists Report Minister Shortage Serious Problem To Methodist Churches DES MOINES (UP) — A shortige of ministers is one of the most ;erioiis problems confronting the Methodist church, a prominent Methodist bishop said herfl'today. Bishop Marshall R. Reed, of the Detroit area, told the north-central Jurisdictional conference ’of the IMethodist church that an estimated 2,800 ministers are needed within the next four years. “Paralleling the shortage of ministers.” the bishop said, “is a shortage of money.” He pointed out that the Methodist church “is founded in a group of the 10 lowest per capita givers for all purposes among the denominations, with an amount of |37.” Some 350 delegates from nine states heard Bishop Reed at the opening of today’s business session. The north-central jurisdiction contains 2.171.324 Methodists, Reed said, which is more than 23 per cent of the total Methodist population in this country. i If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.
