THE. MORmG OREGONTAN, SATUEDATr JUXE 22, 1907. RABB! TO BREAK ANCIENT UUDIUI VI Make Church Social Institution. DR. EMIL G. KIHSGH'S FLAN Sinai Temple to Become the Neighborhood Center. WILL EXPEND $300,000 Chicago Rabbi Believes Church Should Touch Lives of People and Thereby Promote Forms oC Wholesome Activity. CHICAGO, June 21. (Special.) A plan which will break with Jewish traditions stretching back thousands of years. Is being projected by Dr. Emil G. Hlrsch, of Sinai Temple, one of the most Influen tial Jewish congregations in America. The plan, which has already passed the formative stage, contemplates nothing less than the transformation of Sinai Temple into a neighborhood center, with multiform activities focusing about the central religious idea. The working out of the plan involves the abandonment of the- present temple, which was erected at Indiana avenue and Twenty-first street 30 ypars ago, the selection of a more suit able site, probably the southeast corner of Grand boulevard and Forty-sixth street, and the erection of a new build ing to cost between (30,000 and $300,000. Tribute to Dr. Hirscn. In a sense the development of this idea of Dr. Hlrsch will be a tribute paid by his congregation to the long and devoted service, covering more than a. quarter of a century, of the rabbi. It will be the first time in the history of the Jewish Church that the ancient religious tradi tions of the race have ben modified to meet modern conceptions of neighborhood helpfulness. In a general way the plans of the rabbi contemplate the creation of a radiating center of culture similar to Lincoln Center. Dr. Hlrsch now Is in Europe on his annual vacation, but his scheme for augmenting the social appeal of the church was outlined by Moses E. Greene baum, president of the congregation. Get Close to Lives of People. "Dr. Hirsch has felt for some time," said he, "that the church's , activities should be multiform In character, that Its influence should embrace many kinds of appeal, that it should be a social Institu tion tbuching the lives of the people at as many vital points as possible. "It Is his conviction that the church should represent and promote every form of wholesome activity; that It should get s close to the lives of the people as possible." OPERATORS GO ON STRIKE (Continued from First Page.) telegraphed President Small of the Teleg raphers' Union: "The sentiment at Washington la In tense against any compromise, especially on the eight-hour day." Oakland Men All Go Out. OAKLAND, June 21. All the operators employed by the Postal Telegraph Com pany In this city obeyed the order to strike. Nearly all of the employes of the Western Union obeyed the order, but It is said two or three out of the 150 ti-legraphers there remained on duty. PORTLAND IS NOT AFFECTED liut Messages for South Will Be Tak en Subject to Delay. It is not considered probable that the strike of telegraph operators In San Francisco will for the present affect either the Portland telegraphers or the telegraph buslness.in this city. However, all dispatches from Portland to Oakland and San Francisco 1 are being received subject to delay In transmission. "The present strike resulted from the request of the San Francisco operators for an advance In WHges amounting to about 25 per cent," said a Portland teleg rapher yesterday. "The real issue Is the recognition of the Telegraph Operators' Union by the officials of the Western Union Telegraph Company. General Superintendent Jaynes. of the Western Union at San Francisco, has Indicated a willingness to treat with the men Indi vidually but the operators Insist that their union shall be recognized. "Operators In the Bay City complain that they are not receiving the wages they are entitled to. Previous to the granting of a 10 per cent advance In the schedule at the -time of the threatened trouble In Chicago a few weeks ago, these operators were receiving only $75 and $5) a month. On an average they are not now receiving more than JSS a month, which, they contend. Is not enough when the high' cost of living is con sidered. They demand an increase in .their wages until normal conditions are restored In San Francisco. "1-Xer since the Western Union defeated- the telegraphers In their strike In 1SS2, its officers have been severe In their treatment of the men and have always refused to- recognize any organi zation of its employes. But the teleg raphers throughout the country are now well organized and feel they are entitled to a recognition of their organization through which they Insist all negotiations relating to wages and hours of labor sluill be transacted. "If we win our contention for better w:iges In San Francisco, it Is probable the demand for an advance in the wages of these employes in other sections of the country may be presented where wages are not proportionate to the cost of living as is the case in San Fran cisco." "The principal grievance of the teleg raphers outside of San Francisco is that the telegraph companies have practically annulled their action of a year ago, when they granted the M ,er cent Increase tn salaries. This has been dona by replacing the $82.60 and f&S men with other employes who had been earning from (65 to 175 a month and whose salaries were not Increased with the promotion. The result Is that with but few exceptions the companies have returned to their former scale of wages. "We have demanded four concessions on the part of the telegraph companies, as follows: A permanent advance of 10 per cent In wages, an end to existing discriminations among employes, fur nishing typewriters to the operators and an eight-hour workday. The increase of 23 per cent, asked by the men In San Fran cisco. Is desired only so long as present conditions prevail in that city, when they will be content to accept the 10 per cent raise that has been asked for all opera tors throughout the country." Telegraph operators employed in the local offices of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph Companies say they are satisfied with conditions here, but they are well organized and prepared to aid their striking fellows in San Fran cisco. A strike assessment has been levied and this will be forwarded to the board directing the strike whenever funds are called for. Of the 75 telegraphers regular ly employed by the two companies in this city, 69 are members of the union. Of the half dozen nonunion operators, four are chief operators. There are a great many cub-operators who are temporarily employed in the telegraph offices In this city, but they are said to be closely allied with the union and its interests. The Postal Telegraph Company, it is stated, is calling in its managers from the small towns In the neighborhood of San Francisco and has ordered its chief operators from Portland, Seattle and Tacoma to report at once in San Francisco for emergency work.

This increase is absolutely necessary to handle the increased malls The department a first was Inclined to refuse the request, but, the Senator in sisted that Portland's mall business was growing in proportion to the growth of the city, and that it could not be prop erly handled by the present force.

BAN FRANCISCO, June 21. Some deci sion by the District Court of Appeals is looked for soon in the application of Mayor Schmitl for release on bail by writ of habeas corpus. Judge Hall is out of town, but Judges Cooper and Kerrigan . are in chambers. They have taken the ' Mayor's application under advisement. and it ia understood, though not officially, that the writ will be granted. This does not necessarily mean that the Mayor will be admitted to ball, but that his allegation that he is suffering from an incurable disease, which may be ren- ' dered fatal by confinement, entities him , to 1 fuller hearing before tha court to aetermine its merit.
