CONSIDER
SUPREME LEADER
Episcopal Church Plan Up
for Action-Dispute Over
League Flares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, October 11.-A pro-
posal to give the Protestant Episcopal
Church . supreme spiritual and tenn
poral leader came up today for action
In Its House Of Bishops as 4 contro-
versy over the Church League for In
dustrial Democracy famed higher.
The bishops, in the church's tri-
ennial general convention, took up
recommendation OF the National
Council to vest full administrative
authority in the presiding bishop by
making him president OF the council
He already Is considered the spiritual
leader.
A question whether the presiding
bishop, under such q change, should
be given the title OF archbishop will
be taken up later. A resolution before
the convention would increase his
six-year tenure to life.
New Position Urged.
Creation Of position which might
be similar to that of the Archbishop
Of Canterbury, primate of the parent
Church Of England. was strongly ad-
vocated by Right Rev. Philip Cook,
Bishop Of Delaware and now presi-
dent Of the council.
There must be a leader" he de-
clared. mot a dictator or q heir
archy, but q father in God to whom
all the church can look"
Another blast at the League for In
dustrial Democracy, which Is opposed
to the profit system, came from the
church Laymen's Association of New
York. The league. composed largely
Of Episcopalians. is conducting forums
in connection with the convention.
The association, in an open letter
to the House Of Bishops and House of
Deputies, warned Of communistic
tendencies and said the league had
radical aims" 1t asserted that for
the Episcopal Church TO embrace its
views would be to invite disaster"
Church Marriage Laws.
The House Of Deputies tomorrow
will take up . commissions recon-
mendation to liberalize the church's
marriage and divorce laws in order
that bishop could determine
whether a divorced communicate could
remarry within the church.
Rev. Zebarney T. Phillips Of WASH
ington, D. c., president Of the House
OF Deputies. asserted in a sermon yes
terday that the convention will not
have fulfilled its high destiny under
God" II, after it, the church does not
stand ready to do and to dare, to
enter upon venturesome paths for
God"
He said "the churchs task is to put
the emphasis where it belongs and
speak of the more abundant oppor-
tunity' through economic and social
adjustment for attaining unto the
more abundant life which, according
to the words OF our Blessed Lord, can
have none other than spiritual con-
notation"

We recognize no benefits through the
fine distinction OF being suspended
rather than expelled, the two are

them cooperating with corporate in
terests against the c. l. O."
Declaring the c. I. O. now the prin-
cipal labor movement in America,
Lewis claimed membership exceeding
that OF the federation and said that
further enrollments will be made in
industries Of every character. State
industrial councils, he said, will be set
up soon in Maryland, Ohio, Colorado,
Pennsylvania and other States.
Prolonged Struggle Seen.
Thus does 1t seem certain that no
slim hopes remain for a truce in
Americas bitter labor war, but rather
an intensification and prolonging OF
the struggle while industry, Govern
ment and the public stand involved
but more or less helpless.
That the present meeting OF the
c. I. o. is to be the biggest policy
making session held since a group of
less than q dozen OF those now pres
ent, then members in good standing
in the A. F. Of L., gathered in 1895
in this same Atlantic City hotel to
plan the formation of the committee,
Is plainly obvious.
Secretive conferences among the KEY
leaders Of the group were held Satur-
day and Sunday. Lewis arrived yes
terday afternoon. conferred imme-
diately with Brophy and a few other
associates before calling q press con-

Increase in Wages.
In the process of selling their efforts
to their associates and to the public
the c. I. o. leaders will report that
approximately one billion dollars
per year have been added to the pay
envelopes of workers affected by con-
tracts negotiated through the C. I. O.
The largest single industry increase,
it is noted purposely, is in the steel
industry, where the wage increases
amounted to some s250.o0O, 900 yearly
but where a small bloc of inde-
pendent producers still are resisting
successfully all efforts to bring them
into line.
To the automobile workers, it is
being reported, has come an addi-
tional sloO,000o0O yearly. and to the
members of Lewis own United Mine
Workers has come pay raise Of
72,000,000

from IS to 40 hours, has been secured

CENSUS DIRECTOR
ASKS Cities HELP
BiggerS Wants Committees
Organized to Assist in
Check on Idle.

John D. Biggers, unemployment CEN
sus director, has written letters to the
municipal head of every town and city
in the country asking for the appoint
ment of citizens committees to Coop
crate with postmasters in making the
jobless count, it was announced today
These letters are said to be the prelude
to the most intensive volunteer work
since war days.
The municipal committees, Biggers
said, will be expected to throw the
fun weight of the community behind
the enrolment. which is to be taken
on post cards from November 16 to 20.
There will be local speakers bureaus
which will furnish men and women to
address gatherings of all sorts of per-
sons. Poster and other displays will
call the attention of the public to the
dates OF the census The services of
the press, the radio and other agencies
OF public information will be utilized
to the fullest extent.
Makeup of Committees.
Biggers suggested the local organiza-
tons consist of:
TWO representatives of labor, two
representatives of business, one repre-
sentative o. each preponderant re-
ligious group, one representative from
each OF the outstanding women's clubs,
one representative from each of the
outstanding local welfare organiza-
tions, one representative from the
foreign language groups. one repre-
sentative from the visiting nurses
association, one representative from
the Red Cross chapter, one represen-
tative from the veterans organiza-
tions, representatives from any other
outstanding group in each COM
munity which might have contact
with the unemployed or partially un-
employed.
When this committee is organized.
Biggers hopes each mayor or other
municipal head will issue proclama-
tion to his city formally calling on
the whole community to get behind
the voluntary enrolment.
1t is one of the most stupendous
undertakings in the peace-time history
OF the country" Biggers said.
Appeal By La Guardia.
Mayor La Guardia of New York,
taking up Biggers request at once,
appealed as president of the United
States Conference of Mayors
Il am today asking all of the may
ors throughout the country to assume
local leadership in the census of the
unemployed. Since the UNEMPLOYED
are mainly centered IN the larger in
dustrial cities of the United States, it
is urgent that all mayors do their
part"
Biggers also has addressed a letter
detailing his plans to the heads of
$4,000 local union organizations in
the United States asking their active
assistance in mai rg the census COM
plete. Both Will Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor, and
John L. Lewis, chairman of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organizat ton.
have thrown their support behind the
program.
Special appeals soon will be made
TO the clergy, to the schools and to
local business mems groups to give
the widest range to information about
the Forthcoming census. Biggers said
Such intensive effort is essential
because of the short duration of the
census"
