Few important ministerial change.
ire expected at the annual I'hilndclphln i
conference of the Methodist Kplfcopal i
Church. Mhlch will open nt burton
Memorial Church. Fifty-fourth nud
Catharine streets, March li. i
Annually the nwignment of ministers
for the ensuing year Is one of the in
tttBtly Interesting features of tbc con
ference. Those who nrc in u position
to know Ray that the majority of I'hlln
delnhla churches are well atifdicd with
their nilnlstcru, nnd the changes will be '
far fewer than In the past.
Two outstanding and probable clump'
arc being discussed, however. One N
that of the Iter. Richard Hudellffe, pin
tor of the Cookman Church, who has
been invited to tbc pulpit of the l'lelcher
Church. I
The other is that of the Hc Or
John C. Tetre, of the Siloam Chun-h
of Kensington, who has been inked (.
assume charge Ht tho East Allegbetiy
ATenue Chureli.
The Tier. W. E. P. Haas, minister of
tho Wharton Memorial Church, which
will be the host of the conference, lm
been mnking efforts for weeks to pre
pare for the meeting of the minister
lie has the program nil but ciiinplele
and expects to send it to the printer
within u few days.

In spite of all difficulties, and by the
time the conference meets everything
will be in order."
The problem of housing and caring
for visitors at future conferences prob
ably will be one of the things discussed ,
Tcry thoroughly Ht tue coming conier
ence. As yet no ouarterly conference
has invited tho 1JI21 conference to be
its guest, and there is the possibility
that there i may be a radical ho "f"'
the plan i of ntertainmen for the r lure.
The New Jersey conference, which will
be held before the Philadelphia con
ference, entertains its members at :i
hotel instead of at the homes of the
people in whoso church the conference
is held.
Many questions are to be discussed at
the conference. One of the big
duties of the conference will be the
selectien of delegutes to the general con
ference of tho Methodist Church, which
will meet in .May at Pes Moiue-. la.
Seven del'gates are to be selected, and
the riva'ry is keen both in Philadelphia
and in the suburban districts.
To Discuss Lay Delegates
Another main question to be decided
during the conference is the matter of
admitting lay delegates to the annual
conferences. They take part in the
deliberations of the" general conference
at present, and there has been a strong
agitation for their admission to the an
nual conferences. The matter cannot
be decided except at the general con
ference In May, but it is quite possible
that the coming annual conference may
memorialize the general conference on
the subject.
Bishop Ilerry will open the confer
ence the evening of Tuesday, Marcli It!,
though the formal sessions of the con
ference will not begin until the morn
Ine fo'louinc. At the session Tuesday
evening the anniversary of the Historl-
cal Society of the conference will be ob
served. The speaker of thc evening has
not been announced.
Bishop Berry will preside at the
opening of the conference the morning
or March 17. and at tue subsequent ses
sions of the conference. The meeting
will begin nt 9 o'clock in the morning.
tGeorgc W. Burnham. a prominent
Methodist layman, will give tho address
of welcome. At the first business ses
sion a Jatc probably will be decided on
for thc beginning of tbe baltotlng for
delegates to the general conference The
balloting is likely to take some time.
and votes will be tuken day by day i
until the requisite number of delegates
have beu tclectcd.
Thc women's foreign mlsxlonury an

Drop Wage Domands and Will
Ask Disapproval of
Measuro
SIDETRACK WILSON'S PLAN
Washington. Feb. 25. Consideration
of President Wilson's proposal for act
tlcmcnt of railroad employes' wage
demands bv an impartial tribunal waa
sidetracked today by union officer to
give thc right of way to n finish fight
one thc recently passed railroad reor
ganization bill.
Request for a veto of the mensurc will
bo presented to President Wilson, prob
ably tonight, in tbc form of a memorial
setting forth organixed labor's objec
tions to the arbitration feature of the
bill especially, nnd to Uio financial
clauses. Failing to gain n vclo, the
unions plan to attack the constitution
allty of the law.
Decision to carry the fight to thc
White House whs taken suddenly at a
meeting to consider the President's pro
posal, but the latter did not get much
consideration because general commit
teemen represented that their member
ship was restive under what they term
cd "leglslalve attacks" on union labor
nnd would not be satisfied unless tbo
bill was fought to the last ditch. When
it was decided to ask for executive dis
approval of the measure, many of the
delegates made urrungements fo return
homo immediately, leaving tho wage
controversy negotiations unfinished.
The unions ttill have to decide ulso
whether they will join in eclcction of
experts to guther data for considera
tion by the wage commission created
by thc railroad bill. As tho unions
havo expressed unalterable opposition to
such a council of arbitration, in which
thc public would bo represented as well
as railroads and employes, some of their
officers havo objected to participating in
choosing the board for fear it would be
taken as acceptance of tho provisions
they deem obnoxious.
Thc memorial to President Wilson is
being drafted by B. M. Jewell, acting
president of tho railway employes' do
partuient, American Federation of La
bor; K, J. Manion, president of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers, and
Timothy Shea, acting president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
who were the delegation chosen to visit
the White House recently and receive
the President's communication in the
wage controversy.
Palmer lo Pass on Law
Knowledge of the President's inten
tion to have A. Mitchell Palmer, attor
ney general, pass on tho validity of thc
reorganization measure did not deter
the union lenders from their determined
course of action. Their claims of iu
equity against the legislation were ex
plained to be aside from any question
of thc validity of tbe bill, nnd they,
therefore, purposed to carry tbe oppo
sition through to the finish.
Decision of tho union officials to pre
sent their views to Mr. Wilson was
renched suddenly. There had been in
sistent clamoring for such action by
muny of tho local committeemen, called
hero to discuss thc President's wugo
settlement proposal. Tho course was
not decided on, however, it was said,
until It appeared no other plan would be
generally accepted by tho rank and file.
Labor provisions of the bill admitted
ly will be the most bitterly assailed by
tho unions, but the plan also contom
nlntcs nttnek on tbe financial sections,
which labor holds to bo "unfair to the
taxpnycrs and a burden on tho govern
ment.' The dividend provision of the
law also will conic in for condemnation,
it was indicated.

Washington, Feb. 25. No agreement
for tho simultaneous publication on

tho subject, however, tiro continuing.

In nn editorial devoted to thc recent
statement of Frank A. Vandcrlip rela

new credits to Europe, tho newspaper
eays: "Our economic situation must
not bo judged too severely. America
must trust tho btrcngth of Italian work.
If it is helped in time with raw mater

a limitation of consumption, will cnablo
us to pay old ond new debts."
Reports of the refusal of thc United

Is considered as signifying the collapse

WOULD PRESERVE YARD
Tcntativo plans for tho purchase of
Hog Island for tho uso of commercial'
and industrial interests of this city law
been launched by tho Chamber of Com
morco nnd Powell Evans, and the gta.
cral project has the approval of Major
Moore.
Tho Chamber of Commerce author-.
ized its president, Alba B. Johnson, to
select a committee of citizens to consult
with various trado. bodies, railroads
and bankers on tbe project and a meet
ing of thes groups will bo called very
shortly. It "s highly probable that a
permanent underwriting body will bi
formed to provido the necessary capital.
Another plan for thc purchase of tin
island was placed before Mayor Moore
yesterday by Mr. Evans, who has taken
n prominent part in civie nnd business
affairs for several years.
The plan submitted by Mr. Evans
calls for the preservation of tho 243
acres within the t'encn and east of It
for possiblo futuro shipbuilding work,
the construction of .a 1000-foot dry
dock und three caissons and tho use of
the remainder of tho plant for ter
minal purposes.
A charter has been procured by Mr.
Evans under the name of the rhlladel
phia Terminal and Drydock Co. Ho
bays he will turn the charter ot to
any organization of citizens of Wit
dclphia and vicinity who will taku out
tho plant. i
About $20,000,000 will be, needed to
start thc movement, it is estimated. It
is said tho government will sell the plant
to u community organization at a sur
prisingly low llguro when tho cost of
construction was considered. Govern
ment officials have given assurance that
special inducements would bo made to
any community group which organized
itself to undertake the enterprise.
Mr. Evans estimates that about
55,000,000 will be needed for the pur
chase of- thc island. 5,000.000 for the
construction of tho drydocks, $5,000,000
for the construction of thc cold-storate
plant nnd u like sum to bo kept iu the
treasury.
Tho whole project must be put acrow
by next August, as tbe government his
publicly announced its intention to
complete its ship construction program
thcro and dispose of tho property bf
next September. Matthew C. Brush,
president of tho American International
Shipbuilding Corporation, in a state
ment recently issued said be thought all
of tbo ships uow on contract for thl
government would be completed by September.
