cisive step of the Episcopal church in
the widespread mo,ement toward 4
union of all Christian churches wal
taken by the house of deputies I'm the
triennial Episcopal convention at Mu-
sic hall today.
The house unanimously adopted a
resolution offered by DIR. w. T. Man

sisting of seven bishops. seven Pres
bytcrs and seven laymen he appoint
ed to take under odvisement "thc
promotion of IL conference to be par.
ticipated IN by all Christian bodies
throughout the world. which accept
our Lord. Jesus Christ. as God and
Savior on questions pertaining to the
faith and order of the church Of
Christ"
Edward l.. Parsons, of ST. Marks
church. Berkeley. california. made
statements In his report of the church
commission of capital and labor that
focused the attention of the house.
j. Pierpont Morgan was among
those who listened eagerly as DR.. Par
sons voiced these sentiments: PRO"
perty Is d trust held for the benefit
OF the community.
Morally, the possession of pro.
perty involves a return by the indi-
Vidual to society of an equivalent for
iis property.
The right of property Is one mere
" conferred on the individual by
society,"
The report made these recon
mcndations:
"a gradual and reasonable rcduc.
tion OF the hours of labor to the short
est practical period.
"Rclief from labor one day In sew

THAT living wage should he cs-
tablishcd as the minimum In every
industry.
That every Industry should pay the
highest wage It can possibly afford -
The report commented on the
menace of the idle rich whose eX-
travagant pleasures corrupt their own
lives and set pcrnioious example for
the poor"
A resolution providing for the cleo
tlon of the presiding bishop by bish-
ops and deputies was offered by Will
liam a. Robinson, layman, of Louis
vile, kentucky. 1t was referred to
the committee on amendments to the
constitution. This Is one of the most
important matters before the con-
vention. At present the presiding
