Stamford, June 12.—With an ap- peal for patriotic service in the na- tional crisis, Right Reverend Chaun- cey B. Brewer, bishop of the Episco- pal diocese of Connecticut, opened the annual diocesan convention in ' St. Jobn’s. church, today. He also re- ferred to the proposition to establish & cathedral church but recommended. that. In view ‘of conditions no active steps; toward that end be taken ng He urged laymen to see that mlnlstqa recelve adequate salary, and empha- sized that they, like other people are affected by the high' cost .ot living. The convention was formally opened this afternoon with prayers after which the bishop made his address and Suffragan Bishop, Rev: Dr. E. C. Acheson, made .a report. Prior to this gathering there were conferences in St. John's parish house for clergy and laity delegates. More than three hundred were recorded.

H. Andrews tendered his . resignation, effective July 1. Mr, Andrews’ reason for Te- signing is the fact that he has ao- cepted . the secretaryship of the New Bedford Chamber of Commerce. In accepting the resignation éf Mn, An- drews the -board of dlrectors did so with reluctance. Secretary Andrews said: “I'do not want to leave New Britain until the Chamber of Commerce is firmly es- tion will continue through tomorrow. | Entertainment is by the members and | societles of St. Johp's and St. An- drew’s parishes. The first .conference was that of the ‘Woman’s Auxillary over which. Mrs. E. C. Acheson presided.. Addresses ‘were made by Miss Dorothy Giles, of the junior department of the New York branch, and by Miss Elizabetn R. Delafield, president of. the 'fiiew York branch. The conference on religious educa- tion was addressed by Rev. Willlam B. Gardner, D. D., secretary of . tho general board on “Five Years of the General Board of Religious Educa- tion,” ‘and the work of the Diocesan board’ was explained by its chairman, Archdeacon Henry Swinnerton: Harte. Prayers for missions, at noon, pre- ceded a 'social-service hour. Mrs. John H. Rosebaugh, of Hartford, spoke orl the work of the Girls Friendly society, and' Mrs. - R. H. Taber told of what the society is do- ing. Rev. Robert Keating Smith, sec- retary of the Provincial committee :|on the Various' Races, outlined work among the immigrants. A public meeting will be held this evening in place of diocesan dinner, in St. John’s church Rev. Thomas Burgess, director of thc | Provincial Committee on the Various Races, will speak on the pastoral care of immigrants, and Rev. James Empringham, D. D., general super- intendent of the Church Temperance society, will make an address upon “The World War und the Liquor Trade.” The election of memben of the standing committee of the diocese, and of delegates to the Synod of the First Province, will take place tomor- row forenoon during the general bus- iness session. Bishop Brewster is the guest of Rev. Dr. Charles Morris Addison, rec- tor of St. John's and Suffrafian Bishop Acheson is being entertained by Rev. John D. Skene, rector of St. Andrew's. The convention chairman is Wil- liam W. Skiddy, junior warden of St. John's and treasurer of the gen- eral convention. In his address Bishop Brewster to- dey said, in part: Salaries of Clergymen. “It has been my cherished inten- tion to bring before you the really vital question of the salaries of the clergy. Long before this time I have pressed upon the people of the diocese the urgency of this matter. In some instances there has been a gratifying Tesponse; but alas, not in many. Re- cent years, with their alarming in- crease in prices, have made the mat- ter more urgently pressing than ever. As one of our clergy wrote: ‘Every- thing has risen except alr, sunshine, and the clergyman’'s stipend.’ The cost of living has in many cases created an acute situation. Where the salary has pot been increased, it is really only half what it was a few years ago. In our rectories are high- hearted, uncomplaining men and very brave women. Remember, brethern of the laity, what you expect of them. Deal justly, nay -generously , with them. It rests with you- I call upon you who are wardens and vestrymen to rise to the measure of your respon- sibility. : A Diocesan Church. “We all desire, I am confident, that the work of the diocese should be done as well as it p bly can be. To that end I now bring forward the matter of a diocesan church. Of this I wrote at some length in_ the last ‘Connecticut Churchman. Your attention I ask to what was suggested in that article, and also to the report of the trustees of the Cathedrai church, to be presented here- The cathedral can be made a truly Amer- jcan institution, in close tduch with all the higher interests of the com- monwealth as well as with things ec- clesiustical. At this time, when so many objects ure pressing upon. every one, it is not intended to attempt to raise, any funds for endowment; it is the sense of the trustees there should be no assessment that laid l (Contiffued on Ninth Page.) the customary | and |- A; H. ANDREWS tablished in the minds and hearts of the people of New Britain as a strong, .useful and eficlent community body and I am willing, if the board so de- sires, to return to New. Britain one day each week until just such an organization ‘is made.” The board of directors also thor- oughly discussed the rebuilding cam- paign plans for the Chamber of | Commerce and in view of the Nation- 1 Red Cross campaign, the Y. M. C. | A. campaign and other movements requiring public contributions that it would be wise to postpone the Cham- “ber of Commerce campaign until early fall. Accordingly, the board of directors unanimously voted to post- pone further active work on the recreating plans unti] September 1. LAt that timé the board of directors will undertake to re-establish ' the Chamber of Commerce on a firm foundation along lines of approved procedure in commercial organizatirn work. C. J.' White, acting president, in 'speaking of Mr. Andrews’ retirement, sald: “Mr. Andrews’ term of office with the New Britain Chamber of Commerce ‘has been an unbroken three years 'of continuous devoted hard work. His tireless energy ha: been at the service of the organiza. tion at all times. He has given free- 1y of the best that is in him and the fact that the Chamber of Com- merce has become a real factor in the community life of New Britain is largely traceable to Mr. Andrews’ ability as a constructive organizer and capable executive. “Conditions have placed 'the bur- den of success in Chamber of Com- merce activities largely on the shoul- ders of Secretary Andrews and it'is ried many .of them through to a suc- cessful conclusion. In fact, ham- pered as our organization has been for lack-of finances and the absence of complete co-operation of all forces which enter ipto our buginess and community life, the record of the past three years, which is a practical exhibit ‘of (Mr. Andrews’ service is one in which we fecel a just pride.” NORTHCLIFFE OPENS OFFICES Expects Staff of Clerks Within Few i Days—Going to Washington' Sogn to Present Credentials.

POLICE TO ENFORCE LOW PASSENGER RATE Attorney General at Chicago Plans to ‘Arrest Railroad Agents Who Make Excess Charge. * Chicago, June 12.—Wholesale ar- Tests of railroad agents were planned today by Attorney General Edward J. Brundage in an attempt to enforce the two-cent passenger rate law. Every railroad operating in Illinois raised its rates yesterday from two cents a mile to 2.4'cents in accord- ance with authorization by the Iater- state Commerce ‘Commisaion, " which was upheld last Thursday by United States . District Judge Dyer In St. Louis. The United States supreme court also held yesterday, in degiding the South Dakota rates cases that the Interstate Commerce Commission ‘has power in regulating Interstate rates to disturb interstate rates fixed by state authorities. The conflict between the federal and state authorities arose from (he !fact that the rallroad charged 2.4 Iccnu .& mile between points in Il- linois and St. Louis, Mo., while ths ‘rlte from the Illinois side, the .onlv | point in Tilinois, was two cents, a mile. St. Louis' claimed that was a discrimination in favor of East St. Lnulu. Ills,, just across the river, and ‘thc Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the railroads to make the rates uniform, either, by lowering them to St. Loull or raising ‘them An Illinois.
