BRITISH CLERGY
PANTS FOR RAISE;
PLANNING UNION
Pastors Organization May
Bring Relief in High Cost
of Vicarage.
By NINA BANCROFT.

London, Nov. 9.-These are peril
Gus days for the British clergy, and
a movement has been started among
them for unionizing to secure better
pay and working conditions.
Things have reached such a state
that parsons are threatening to
down their cassocks, because they
can't keep them up. One vicar, in
a small country parish, told me to-
day that he was forced to wear his
great-coat throughout the summer,
when carrying out his manifold du-
ties, because his cassock was in rags
and tatters and he didn't have the
money to replace it.
Bishops Turn the Other Way.
Certain it is that nowhere in Eng
land does there exist such poverty
as that prevailing among the clergy.
Many proclaim through the press
the need for a clergymen's union
to better themselves. Many assert,
too, that the bishops are absolutely
indifferent to their privations and
sufferings, while the bishops are on
the point of striking as a protest
against the income tax they pay.
There appears in one of the papers
today typical story-that of a
clergyman, married and father OF
three children. He states that his
family has not known the luxury of
square meal for two years. His
vicarage is large mansion of 26
rooms, which he is called upon to
keep UP with an income of $3.50 a
year.
Repairs alone, he says, take $50 an
nually from his pittance, and out OF
the balance he is expected to main
tain himself, his wife and children
and look neat and tidy"

Many of the bishops actually have

Throughout the war they patiently

There were almost 200 dele
gates seated in the convention, rep

They further positively and explicit
~ Instructed their officers that un-
less an agreement was reached On
or before the 1st day of November,
1919, that resolution of the conven-

to the membership. There was no
alternative except for the officers,
who are elected by the membership.
to carry out the direct instructions
of the membership or resign from
their positions as officers, in which
event chaos and confusion would

Entered Into Confab.
"The officers of the mine workers,
with their scale committee, entered
into conferences and discussions
with the operators in the city of
Buffalo. They stated at the confer
ence that they had full power to ne
gotiate an agreement, in other
words, that they had the power to
give and take in the conference.
I he employers refused to make any
offer whatever. Later on the miners
answered the call of the secretary Of
labor and further endeavored to
reach, an agreement, but failed. The
officers then proceeded to carry out
the instructions of their membership
and communicated the results of the
failure of negotiations and by order
of the convention the strike auto
matically took effect November l.,
1919.
1.-THE machinery which has existed
for years and which has been sue
cessful in bringing about agreements
between the miners and the opera

Restraining Order.
"A temporary restraining order
was granted by a federal judge,
which restraints the officials of the
miners from in any way advising
their membership on the situation or
contributing any of the moneys of
the mine workers to the assistance
OF the men on strike, also restrain.
ing them from discussion, writing or
entering into any kind of CONVEX

strike situation.
