Dagwell Deplores
Labor Difficulty
j .
Blantes Administration as
Lacking Policy "Which
Would Settle It
ALBANY, Ore., March 1-IP)-Bishop
Benjamin Dagwell of the
diocese of Portland of the Episco
pal church told a Civic club au
dience here the solution of the
country's most pressing problem
the labor situation would hot
come Until the president made it
an issue. '
He declared the present policy
of the. administration to be one
of "opportunism or cowardice,"
resulting in a paralysis in the
country because of "concern,
doubt and bewilderment of the
people."
The bishop, who visited here
Thursday, asserted the private
citizen with a grievance was with
out standing in Washington. With
a constant, drift toward central
ized power, he said, the adminis
tration is taking over more and
more control of the lives of indi
viduals. -
Settlement Incomplete
He described the fact that law
lessness could continue for one
or two years without interruption
as evidence of either a breakdown
of law aiid the courts or of pub
lic morals.
Despite the cleanup now rtak
ing progress in the northwest, no
real settlement can be made "un
till the administration makes it
its business," the bishop asserted.
