LABOR NOT UNITED
N CABINET PLEA
Appeal to Harding to Appoint
Union Man Lacked Full
Approval
CANDIDATES BOBBING UP
Uy the Associated PrtM
Wnrfilneton, Feb. S.'i.All of the,
representatives of the national and In
ternational unions attending the con
ference nt the American Federation ot
Labor did not indorse the telegram sent
yesterday to President-elect Harding,
asking him to appoint a "reeognlr.ed
representative of organized labor" an
secretary of labor.
Representatives of the United Mine
Workers of America, the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers and the Heamen'a Union, it
was learned today, spoke in opposition
to the message. The names of the rep
resentatives of the mine workers and
the seamen's union did not appear on
the list of signers of the agreement an
made public here.
Mlchnel Tlghe, of Pittaburgh. presi
dent of the amalgamated, la understood
to have suggested that the message bo
so worded that it would not be con
etrued as opposing Jnmen J, Davis, of
Pittsburgh, tentatively selected aa sec
retary of labor.
William (Ireen, secretary of the
mine workers, did not give approval
for his organization, which has a can
didate for the secretaryship in Percy
Tetlow, of Ohio. Opposition was ex-
Eressed to the wording of the message
y Andrew Funiseth, president of the
seamen's union, who urgued that It
might he accented as an Indorsement
of a labor' leader regarded by him as
hostile to the interesta of his organiza
tion. The International Longshoremen's
I'nlon, whose representative signed the
telegram, has a candidate for the cabi
net in T. V. O'Connor, president of
that organization.
Further plans for the new campaign
to organlee the steel industry will be
discussed hero April 16 by the executive
council of the national and interna
tional unions in the steel industry
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor.
This was announced today by Wil
liam Ilannon, secretary of the council,
which waa organized last January to
take charge of the new unionization
movement.
'The next move in the proposed cam
paign," said M. F. Tighc, president of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
und Steel Workern, and chairman of the
council, "will depend upon the indus
trial situation. We plan to move cau
tiously and conservatively."

CHURCH
CONSIDERS
PEPPERFiD PLAN
.Episcopal Finance Body to Test
Suggestion of Raising
Needed Cash
CLERGY AND LAITY DEBATE
George Wharton Pepper's suggestion
for the formation of n. diocesan organi
zation to collect money for extra paro
chial purposes of the Episcopal church
has been referred to the departments of
missions, Institutions and finance of the
diocese of Pennsylvania.
This became known today when it
was announced at the Church House,
Twelfth and Walnut streets, that the
executive council of the diocese haa
considered Mr. Pepper's proposition at
a special meeting late yesterday after
noon. The motion to refer the plan
to the departments was presented by the
Ilev. F. C. Ilnrtahorne, of Phoenlxville,
and followed n discussion of two houra
by members of the clergy nnd laity.
Ileynolds P. P.rown, executive secre
tary of the diocese, explained that Mr.
Pepper had been detained in New York,
nnd won unable to attend. Mr. Brown
announced that he did not think Mr.
Pepper desired to urge any special ac
tion by the council. lie added that the
proposed financial plan had been con
sidered nt severnl meetings of the execu
tive committee of the executive council.
Mr. Ilrown said the executive committee
had decided to ask the council that Mr.
Penner bo allowed to form a unit of
lOOO persons in various parts of the
diocese for the purpose or giving tne
plan a thorough, practical trial. If
these initial members were found en
thusiastic, Mr. Brown said, he believed
that their experiences Bkould govern fu
ture action on the plan.
The Itcv. F. C. Hartshorne then pre
sented his resolution referring the whole
matter to the Departments of Missions,
Institutions and Finance. It was
adopted by n unanimous vote. Mr.
Brown then introduced a resolution pro
viding for the formation of a trial unit
to test the plnn throughout the diocese.
This resolution was laid on the table.
Among the participants in the dis
cussion were the Ilev. Dr. Oeorce II.
Toop. dean of the Convocation of South
Philadelphia ; the Ilev. J. H. Chapman,
dean of the Convocation of German

Late Today
HOUSE TO SPEED TARIFP,
Dy the Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 23. The long-d.
layed soldiers' bonus bill, passed by the
House last May, was before the Senate
finance committee today with leaders
planning to return it late today after
eliminating the provision for sneel.t
'enslttonCOV,Cr'the " ' adJ,,8te5
It was'ttie plan to let the tax ques
tlon go over until the next session. To
five-fold optional plan of the House bill
was to bo retained. Thla Included tho
immediate cash bonus for length of
service, service certificates pajablc In
(he future, vocational training, loans
for farm or home purchases and land
settlement.
Speedy action by the House on the
Fordncy emergency tariff bill, returned
to thnt body after a conference agree
ment on the Senate amendments to the
measure, was planned bv nrnnn...
today In order to hasten Us arrival at
the white House and give time for an
attempt to override a presidential veto
should thnt bo nrcemary.
Altbougn it wns believed unlikely that
tho mcasuro would be called up for final
action before tomorrow, there was a
possibility that some of Its enthusiastic
supporters would compel consideration
today, the bill having a parliamentary
right of way over other husincys.
The only serious stumbling block u
House approval of the Senate amend
ments as agreed upon In conference
appeared to be the sugar tariff. Al
though the two cents a pound rats
agreed upon by the conferees is consid
erably lower than the rate provided In
the original Senate amendment, doubt
waa expressed today that the lloure
would agree to any additional tariff ca
sugar. It wna recalled that three at
tempts to add sugar to the emergency
it when the bill was before the Hous'i
wore all voted down overwhelmingly.
One-half a million dollars was voted
today by the Senate to defray costs of
moving across the Pacific grain donated
by American farmers for the famlnit
sufferers of China. Senator Kenyon, In
offering the bill, said offcisl reports In
dicated that 14,000,000 Chinese were
facing starvation, and that the dally
death toll was 7000,
"ThlH act Is not only one of great
humanity," he said, "but one of good
dilpomacy. The foodstuffs have beta
donnted by the farmers of the country,
the rallronds have offered free trans
portation to the west coast and the
brotherhoods have agreed to give th
labor free for the movement,"
Under the bill the navy or the ship
ping board is to furnish the vessels re
quired. It In the plan to use Id!

naval reservists.
Agreeing to all House amendments,
the Scnnto completed today paRsajc
of the annual postoffice appropriation
bill nnd sent It to the President. It
carries approximately $f70,000.000.
The Benate agreed to the House allot
ment of $1, 250,000 for transcontinental
nlr mall service. This Is $250,000 1ms
than the sum first suggested.
