CL LERGYMEN WITH
 Sl,0OO SALARY TO AID THEIR FELLOWS
New York East Conference Has Stormy Debate Over
 Taxation Plan

r z
 Mt. Vernon, March 30-The New York East Conference indulged in stormy parliamentary debate today when motion was made to tax all members of the conference earning more than s1.ooO year in order to establish a fund for the relief of the underpaid country clergymen.
 Rev. pr. Downey, book editor of The Church, said that the honor Of c1ergymen would insure the payment of contributions if they were volun- tary. In reply to this, Dr. Cranda1 J. North, who has charge of the superannuate fund, stated that ~even among the clergymen sense of honor was not enough and that compulsion was necessary.
 After an argument which became so heated that the chair was forced to call for order, a. vote showed over two-thirds of the clergymen opposed to the principl of being taxed. A for uner motion. however, urging the crea- ton of fund out of voluntary con tributions of one per cent. of their salaries by clergymen with salaries over $1,oo0 a year, was overwhelming ly adopted.
 This motion grew out of the read ing of the report of the commission on pastoral aid by Df. Bartholomew. pastor of the First Methodist Church of Mt. Vernon The report favored dfverting the one per cent. fund for merly given to the superannuated c1ergymen to the needs of the under paid and made provision for the su- -perannuated by another fund
 Six thousand dollars, the report set forth, has alreAdy been accumulated for the underpaid cIergymen-
