Cephas Shelburne, pastor of the Central Christian church, "recelvr ed today a letter asking him if he would consent to accept' the pastorate of the First Christian 'church ton, Mass.

Shelburne says: "The Boston church is a most' important work and demands one of our best pulpit men, and we have thought that you be the very man forjthe Rev. Shelburne said today that he did not seek the place or know of its vacancy.

President Small Sent Mes sage to Chicago. THE REPORT WAS FALSE Head of Unhn Is Not on Way to Call Out Chicago Operators.

Special to The Herald. Chicago, June 26. It was announced here at noon today that unless a settlement of the San Francisco operators' Btrike was made and so announced, operators at New York and Chicago would be called out simultaneously. Chicago, June 26. Disproving all reports that he would appear here today to prepare for a strike at this point, President Small wired this morning that he was not coming to order the 1,600 union telegraph operators to go out.

The message states that everything in San Francisco is satisfactory. "Chicago)" It Is said, Is the logical point for the next attack upon both companies. Although the union contends that an almost complete tie up has resulted from the strike in San Francisco an 1 Oakland, unrest among its members has continued to increase as a result of the refusal of either company to sue for peace. In New York Tuesday the executive committee of the union addressed a letter to General Manager Nally of the Postal company suggesting that the grievances of the operators be heard and considered. General Manager Nally was taken to task for statements purported to have been made by him that the Btrike In San Francisco was in violation of the recent peace agreement.

A charge is also made in the letter that the rules governing employees In Chicago have been violated by the company. The Chicago Board of Trade has deterjniflM JfeajUJ a tie up of the gala tlrad in, event of a telegraphers' strike, and plans have been discussed to operate an independent wire system if the Western Union and Postal companies fall to settle the grievances of the operators While the companies' officials as seVi that they are handling business with the usual efficiency throughout the country and with only slight delay in San Francisco, commercial houses and others in Chicago complain of many annoyances which have not been noticed before. Reports from many cities are to the effect that members of the Commercial Telegraphers' union, while not actual lylon.astrlkeareheJping4ndirectly by the' many means in their power to Injure the service, with, the avowed purpose of exhausting the patience of the public, and the bringing about of a demand that the telegraph companies take some step to adjust the trouble with their employees.
