THE 3IORMXG OREGOXIAX, AUDITORIUM CLAIMS FOR MIN MUM WAG NEW YORK. April 6. Samuel Gom pers pleaded for a minimum wage for workers In an' address at an editorial conference of New York trade and technical papers today. "Xo employer should be allowed to continue unless he is in a position to pay his employe a minimum standard wage," said Mr. Gombers. "Such an employer ought to get out at once and give someone else a chance who can put the business on a paying: basis." Mr. Gompers defended the labor group in this country and said that while it was not infallible; at the same time it had made less mistakes than any other group measured in numbers. The American Federation of Labor, he said, was organized 39 years ago, with 50,000 workers in all parts of the country and has grown against all odds to four and one-half million, and soon would number five million. 'It is not true," Bald Mr. Gompers, to say that we represent but 5 per cent of the inhabitants of this coun try, but, based on the general calcu lation of each American home, count ing five to a family, and if. therefore, there are 100,000,000 people in this country, we represent 25 per- cent of these 100.000,000 and not 5 per cent.

Platform Expresses View That Time Has 'Come When Both Scics Should Sliaro Responsibility. Mrs. F. O. Northrup. prominent club woman, yesterday made formal decla ration of her candidacy as a delegate to the republican national convention from the Third congressional district. Mrs. Northrup was waited on recently by a committee of women affiliated with various clubs, and urged to be come a candidate for delegate. Mrs. Northrup took the matter under ad visement and concluded to accept the suggestion. "I will earnestly adhere to the prin ciples of the republican party," is the llcan woman to seek to attend a na tional convention from Oregon, and she has preferred being elected as a delegate from Multnomah county to being a candidate from the state at large. Mrs. Northrup, who has lived in Oregon for 38 years and has raised a family, has been closely identified with club work for a num ber of years and she made the fight for motion picture censorship for the clubwomen recently. At present she is vice-president of the housewives' council, which organization has been struggling with the high cost of liv ing problem. Appointment of W. T. Masters, W. C. North and Richard Martin, Jr., as a committee to investigate the claims filed by bondsmen of Hans Federeon, who constructed the municipal audi torium, is provided in a resolution to be considered by the city council this morning. City Commissioner Bigelow will probably oppose adoption of the res olution, and it is possible that Com missioner Mann will also vote against adoption of the resolution.- Both com missioners Barbour and Mann have consistently stood against the ap pointment of the committee) on the theory that the entire question must eventually be submitted to the courts and that, therefore, court procedure alone should guide the future action of the city council. Othrra Want Investigation. Other members of the council be lieve that through an Investigation carried on by a committee not only will considerable expense be caved in compilation of facts, but that, in addition, the committee will de termine if the claims are just. General opinion prevails among three members of the council that the bondsmen are entitled to consid eration, in view of the fact that some of the losses sustained by the contractor, and which were trans ferred to the bondsmen for settle ment, resulted because of changes de manded by the city. Claims AsKrcgate $7M00. The claims aggregate $76,000, but will probably be reduced to 156,000 when bills for material furnished by the bondsmen have been removed, it being the general understanding that the bondsmen will accept this por tion of the loss if the city will pay the bills presented by sub-contractors and othea material men. Before payment can be made the entire matter must be approved by the electorate, according to members of the city council. It is barely pos sible that before the claims will be submitted to the people the matter will be reviewed in courts. The matter has been before the council for months, and after numer ous hearings the majority of the council voted to appoint the commit tee. More than a month's time was necessary to select the committee. The investigation by the committee will probably begin at once.

Taggert to her forme position as an instructor in the Lin coin high school, neither will the dis trict be obliged to pay Mrs. Taggert the sum of $800 alleged to be due as back salary arid interest at the rate of 6 per cent based on the com pensation of the position from the time she was summarily discharged until about the date of filing he action in court, according to an opln ion written by Justice Burnett and handed down by the Oregon supreme court here today. Justice Burnett reversed the ver diet of Robert H. Tucker, judge o the circuit court for Multnomah county, and dismissed the action from further consideration. In a second suit brought by Mrs. Taggert Justice Burnett allowed her a judgment of 1205, which she alleged was due as wages during her enforced absence from the school on account of illness. This part of Mrs. Taggert's claim was not contested by the school district It was charged by Mrs. Taggert in her original complaint filed in the Multnomah county circuit court that she had been employed by Superin tendent Grout, of the Portland schools, and that she subsequently was dis missed from her- position without cause or complaint. The case was tried before Judge Tucker, with tha result that Mrs. Taggert was awarded llldcmfnt in thA mm ' am.ith, tn l. ! complaint and the school district was ordered to restore her to her position. The school district then appealed to the supreme court. The question of whether Mrs. Tag gert was a substitute or permanent instructor in the Portland schools entered prominently into the suit.

THE army that stands still is really retreating:. The Master's command was a forward command,"Go ye into all the World." Out of the war the churches emerged with a new sense of the urgency of that command. - "We must move forward all along the line they said, and each denomination planned its own "Forward Move ment" to deepen the spiritual life of its members and equip itself with money and power. Then came the greater thought, 'It is not enough for us to go forward. We must be sure that there is fto duplication of effort; that cooperation prevails; that every man and dol lar does its utmost in service. "We must go forward together." So the Ihterchurch World Movement was formed a clearing house through which thirty denominations without-sacrificing their identity in any way can cooperate in the service of Jesus Christ. FOR MORE than a year trained experts have been al work making a scientific survey of the whole world, and of America county by county. The churches, for the first time in their history, have the full facts.

No business man can study that survey without being impressed by the accuracy and courage with which the task has been approached. ON THE basis of the survey, the cooperating denominations will unite in a simultaneous financial campaign in the week of April 25 in. The amounts asked for are large in the aggregate ; they are small when divided among the church members of the nation smaller still when you count the whole number of men and women who love America. , ?xvlii.&t ' The average contribution to the church today is less than three cents per member per day.
