DETROIT, Mich, Oct 10.-The
Protestant Episcopal church in Amer
lea, in triennial general convention
here, will record a united opinion of the
peace treaty and the covenant of the
league of nations, in the opinion of
leading churchmen attending.
Following adoption by the house of
bishops of a resolution presented by
Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster of Con-
necticut today, requesting the United
States senate to Secure participation
of our country in a covenant of ma
tions,' the opinion was expressed in
the house of deputies that the same
resolution would be passed there
A fight developed in the house of
deputies on the approval of 81 memo
rial day prayer for the nations dead"
which, however, was finally adopted,
together with notifications which
would shorten the morning and evening
prayer services, minor changes in the
psalter and new prayers for the army
and navy.
The house of bishops of the Episco-
pal church in America today COM
bined the missionary district of Okla
homa and eastern Oklahoma under
Bishop Theodore P. Thurston of the
latter, and transferred Bishop Frank
Louret of western Colorado to the
western district of Idaho. Concurrence
of the house of deputies is necessary to
make these changes effective

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Attention of
military authorities in control of the
steel strike situation in a greater part
of the Chicago district today was
turned to stamping out radical influ-
ences. Forty more alleged radicals and
a quantity of revolutionary literature
were seized by federal operatives and
soldiers at Gary, Ind.
Little change in the general situa-
tion in the area was reported.
A statement issued tonight by Major
General Leonard Wood, commander of
the central department, outlined the
situation at Gary as follows:
"The gravity Of the situation at Gary
is found in the presence of danger
Gus and extremely active group of L.
w. w. and anarchistic elements which
are striving to bring about extensive
disturbances against law and order.
These elements are working against
everything which this country stands
for"

brought about adjournment today Of
the national industrial conference until
Tuesday. In the meantime the steer
ing committee will meet in an at
tempt to agree on a report to lay be-
fore the conference when it reas-
sembles.
Adjournment came after the confer
ence had received proposals Of the en-
ployers' group declaring for the prin-
ciple of the open shop and affirming
that mo emloyer should be required to
deal with men or groups Of men who
are not his employees or chosen by and
from among them"
The latter principle created quite a
stir in the conference and was consid-
cred by some Of the delegates as ap-
provaI of the stand taken by Judge
Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation in refusing to
meet the steel strikers.
Other principles enunciated in the
declaration Of the employers include:
Acceptance of the right Of strike or
lockout, except in the case of govern.
ment employees; opposition to sympa.
thetic strikers and lockouts; insist
ence on the function of management in
directing industry; emphasis of shor
unions as opposed to the industrial
councils proposed by organized labor
and declaration that cooperative re-
lations between capital and labor
should be worked out in individual es-
adjustments with due regard to Local
| factors, instead of along the lines OF
entire industries, as suggested by labor
Efficiency the Keynote
High industrial efficiency" was
stated by the employers as the touch
stone of sound industrial relations.
After receiving the proposals Of the
employers, an hours recess was taken
to permit the committee of fifteen tc
bring in report ON the 'one resolu-
tion," which it was announced, was un-
der consideration. On reconvening how.
ever, the committee informed the con.
! ference that it was unable to agree or
a report and after objections had beer
registered by Samuel Gompers of tht
labor group, and Thomas La Chad
bourne, of the public representatives

the conference, as well as number o
