FUND TO SAFEGUARD
EPISCOPAL PENSIONS
Bishop Lawrence Says That
$5.OOO.OOO Will Provide for
LEO Clcrgymcn.
ALL READY FOR CAMPAIGN

Bishop william Lawrence OF Massa-
chusetts. president OF the Church Pension
Fund. described yesterday how by means
Of an initial fund Of s5.0o0.ooo and
carefully computed yearly premium paid
by every Episcopal parish In America a
self.supporting pension plan absolutely
proof against bankruptcy can he devised
for the benefit OF the 1920 Episcopal
clergymen In America.
In order to devote all his energy to the
organization OF a campaign to raise the
needed S5.0OO.0OO Bishop Lawrence has
suspended his clerical duties in the Bay
State. j. Pierpont Morgan has agreed
TO act as treasurer Of the fund when the
campaign starts. The secretsr, of the
Organization, which has offices at II
Wall street, is Mcneil Sayre.
I'VE need $1,000. 900 to start the sys-
tenn in order that the fund may never go
bankrupt" said Bishop Lawrence. THE
bankruptcy of a pension fund is the
worst kind OF bankruptcy. because IT
means denying to old men and women
the promises held out to them all their
lives. The kingpin in the value OF
pension system is the security il affords
the pensioners.
Cause Of Teachers' Tro bIes.
'Every one knows OF the trouble in
the New York city teachers pension fund.
What caused the trouble in the first place
was the source of part OF the income OF
The pension SYSTEM per cent. from
the excise taxes collected by the city.
What relation has the amount of licenses
paid by New York saloons to the lon
geyity OF school teachers"
Another point Is that in the ostah-
lishment of the teachers system ac-
count was not taken of the fact that the
teachers were Of different ages and not
all AZ the beginning Of their service.
Hence "A school teacher who was IN when
the system started would retire at the
age OF 65 after having paid In only about
IS years Of premiums thus causing Z.
dsfci, In the fund.
'There is no money on pand IN the
fund to meet this liability, or. IL there H.
II is from premiums paid in by younger
teachers for their own pensions. Prob
ably over $4,000. 900 will be needed to
meet deficits Of the New York teachers
