THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1919. JUSTICE BASIS FOR 1UST1L PEACE Secretary Wilson Talks Unrest of Labor. of PUBLIC INTEREST PRIMARY Commissioner Tilsley introduced in the city council an ordinance seeking the repeal of the old city ordinance covering Sunday closing. Closing of the Sunday theater at this time is the biggest boost that bolshevism and the I. W. W.ism would receive, according to Fred W. Green, vice-president of the Washington State Federation of Labor and presi dent of the local Musician's union. "If the Ministerial association would take away from the people of Spokane the Sunday theater, what have they to offer in its place?" said Mr. Green today. "The local ministry is over-eager to tell the public what it can not do but when it comes to offering them a substitute for clean amusement and recreation the minis ters become mute." Denial of Organization Held to Be Denial of Workmen's Only Means of Peaceable Settlement. WASHINGTON". Dec. 9. There can be no permanent industrial peace that is not based on industrial justice. Sec retary Wilson declared today in his annual report. ' Reviewing the pres ent disturbed industrial situation, the .secretary said the means had been found for regulating all the other re lations of mankind and that human intelligence could find the method of adjusting the relationship between employer and employe with justice to both. Declaring that just as international wrongs might reach a point making war a necessity, so industrial wrongs might accumulate until they provoke an industrial conflict, the secretary said, and that the stability of indus trial relations rested on mutual coun sel. "Just as the peace of nar.ions is promoted by frank and friendly in tercourse," he said, "to may the peace of industry be maintained by the same methods. But this intercourse can not come about unless there is first recognized the right of collective bar gaining. The public interest demr.nds that it be universally recognized, for the primary interest of the public is in peace. "The denial of organization is a de nial of the only means of peaceable settlement that the wage earners have." DlNputes Menace Public. Calling attention to the present prominence of labor organizations of a revolutionary or lawless type the secretary declared that the responsi bility for them must fall upon the employer who opposes the organiza tion of lawful trade unions. More and more do industrial disputes menace tle public as well as employer and em ploye, the, secretary said, adding that the right to strike should be i means of defense and not a weapon of of fense. "The right of any man to cease working for another for any reason that is sufficient to himself is the basic element of human liberty," he said. "The right of any person to re fuse to operate his plant at any time he desires to do so is the exercise of a property right guaranteed by the constitution. It does not follow that because these rights exist it is neces sary to exercise them. ' They must, nevertheless, be safeguarded." Turning to the question of the high cost of living, the secretary said in creased wages did not always bring the desired relief. Increased produc tivity, making more material avail able for wages and taking the means of increased compensation out of the profits of the employer was the only way in which the standard of living of the wage earner could be improved, he declared. lie port Telln of A limn. Reviewing the activities of the vari ous bureaus of the department, the report said 254, 27 aliens came to American shores during the fiscal year ending June 30, and that 245.647 of them were admitted and 8626 ex cluded.

Aliens expelled under departmental process during the year numbered 3068 confpared with 1569 in 191S. The total number of aliens deported, in rluding those refused admissi6n and 34 Chinese deported under the exclu sion laws, was 11,728 as against 8916 in 191S. "The number of admissions to citi zenship during the past year was larger than any preceding year, amounting tc 217.358." the report said. "Leaving out of consideration the year 1918 this was a far greater number than was admitted in any two years during federal supervision.

Thomas F. Gailor Chosen for Period of Six Years to Have Jurisdiction. (Copyright by the New Tork "World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) XEW YORK. Dec 9. (Special.) The city of New York is to become to the Protestant Episcopal church what the city of Rome is to the Roman Catholic church. The Protestant Epis copal church is to have a presiding bishop and a council. The entire Epis copal church, with its almost 2,000,000 communicants, is to be administered from an Episcopal center in this city. The presiding bishop will be the Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Tennessee. He will remove from Nashville to New York almost immediately. He will receive a salary which, while gener ous, will not be as large as that of the Episcopal bishop of New York nor larger than a number of the most prominent rectors in the city. The exact amount has not yet been finally voted upon. One striking difference between the Episcopal presiding bishop and Pope Benedict XV will be that Bishop Gailor is elected only for a term- of six years, whereas the occupant of the Vatican throne is elected for life. Coadjutor to Be Named Bishop Gailor will remain bishop of Tennessee, and on the expiration of his term will return to Nashville and is re-elected. While he is living In New York a coadjutor bishop will have full jurisdiction in Tennessee. Mr. Gailor will be officially known as the presiding bishop. His associ ates of the council will be called the council of the Protestant Episcopal church. There will be three grades of mem bers in the Episcopal council, ten bishops (including the presiding bish op), five clergymen and nine laymen. A meeting of the council will be held in this city next Thursday to rrange further details for the estab lishment of the church headquarters n this city. It was due to the Rev. Dr. Ernest M. Stires, rector of St. Thomas church of this city that New ork is to have the honor of being he headquarters of the Episcopal church. He offered the resolution at the first meeting of the new cocil. This was a secret session and was eld in Washington, November 25 last. The council was created at the recent riennial general convention of the Episcopal church. Few outside of inner Episcopal circles at that time realized that this council was to have uch large powers. LISTEN! I'm The Ragtime Rascal in A Ragtime Play. f K JL In a Ragtime Play.
