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.

OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. 'Wash
ington, June 2L After repeated demands.
Senator Bourne today secured the prom
ise that on July 1 sis additional clerks
and one messenger will be appointed at
the Portland postofflce, and on October 1
three more clerks -will be authorized. 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.
The allowance of these clerks will per
mit the opening of a new stamp window
and a new money-order window, both of
which are seriously needed, and will also
relieve the situation tn the delivery di
vision, where the superintendents have
been obliged to perform clerical work.
The department believes this increase
will be ample to insure the prompt han
dling of all Portland mail for some time
to come.

He defended his opposition to the Hep

of the Elklns bills; that It was opposed
to the principles of the Constitution of
the United- States and that it was Im
politic to permit any seven men In

road rates.
