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.

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. The number admitted the year
before was 211.853. Aliens departing
during the last fiscal year numbered
216.231 as against 193,268 the year
before. During the last seven years
the bureau of immigration estimated
that 36 aliens left the country for
every 100 admitted.
Aliens admitted during the past
year were in possession of sums of
money aggregating $15,831,247, an
average of $112 per person.
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. Military
statistics show 12S.335 aliens who ac
quired citizenship after they assumed
the uniform of the United States."
Hmuloyinent Found for Many.
The United States employment serv
ice at the end of the war had 350 of
fices with a personnel of 1700 and an
administrative force at Washington
of 300. During the 11 war months of
1918 the service placed 2,698,887 per
sons in employment out of a regis
tration of 3.675.85S.
Persons directly affected by labor
disputes brought to the attention of
the department during the year num
bered 1.011.968, while the number in
directly affected was 1.336.072. During
the year the department assigned com.
missioners of conciliation to 1780
cases including 587 strikes, 1113 dis
putes and threatened strikes. 63 lock
outs and 17 walkouts. Of these 1229
were adjusted, exclusive of 219 re
ferred to the national war labor
board. The commissioners failed' to
make settlements in 111 cases.
. strong recommendations for the re
viving and continuing of the working
conditions service, which was insti
tuted during the war to investigate
working conditions and to recommend
standards for their improvement, veri
made by the secretary.
lie also urged legislation for the
continuation of the United States
training service. "It is believed." he
said, "that increased skill on the part
of the workers, and its consequent
stimulus towards greater production,
is even more important in peace than
in war."

lit Rev. 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.

The office of Bishop Tuttle is his

s the presiding bishop of the house

changed while he lives. It was due
his age. however, that some years
ago it was decided to elect a chair
man of the house of bishops. The
irst choice was Bishop Boyd Vincent
f southern Ohio. Three years ago in
St. Louis, Bishop Gaylor was elected
o succeed him.

Council Born at Convention.

existence. They are the board of
missions, the board of religious edu
cation and the board of social service.
For the present the force of the
