SAY ASSEMBLY
IS TOOLARGE
Eastern Presbyterians Says
Ruling Body Also is
Too Costly
WEST AGAINST
THE REDUCTION

Presbyterians of Philadelphia have
started a nationwide movement to
reduce the size Of the General AS
sembly
The great Iaw-making body OF the
Presbyterian Church, the annual
meeting Of which will begin May 10
at Lake Winona, Ind, has 900 COM
missioners, an unwieldly number for
parliamentary work. The expense
Of bringing these 900 clergymen and
elders to the convention city from
every corner of the United States
once every year is an item that gives
concern to Presbyterian leaders.
The General Assembly costs the
Presbyterian churches of the coun-
try nearly s13O,OOO annually. This
figure, however. includes all COM
mittee expenses and the cost OF
maintaining the stated clerks Of
fees in the Witherspoon Building,
Philadelphia
Three reasons are assigned for the
reduction Of the number OF commits
sioners:
First. The General Assembly, as
at present constituted, is too large to
be a deliberative body.
Second. An assembly consisting
Of 900 commissioners is too large to
hold its meetings in even large city
church.
Third. The cost Of entertaining
the commissioners and paying their
transportation has become prohibit
tive.
Philadelphia Presbytery> viii send
an overture to the General Assembly
requesting the appointment OF a
committee to prepare a plan for re.
ducing the number of commission
ers one-half. That plan will be pub
lshed in the religious press through
out the country on or before Novem'
Der 1, which will give an opportu
nifty for nationwide discussion o
its provisions before the General AS
sembly Of 1922.
Last year the Welsh Presbyterian
Church was merged with the Pres
byterian Church in the United States
which means more commissioner
and more expense.
The move to reduce the size OF tn
General Assembly has been gather
ing impetus in the last few years
At the Assembly in St. Louis tw'
years ago, the Rev. DR.. William
Fulton, Of Philadelphia, obtaine'
the appointment OF a committee q
prepare a plan, but When it was re
ported last year it did not seem 4
meet the situation.
The opposition OF the western
mmissioners is a factor that mus
be reckoned with. They like the an
nual trips to the Assembly, whicl
are paid out of the Church's treas
ury. Moreover, many sincerely be
lieve that a large Assembly has grea
inspirational value. Therefore. the.
have refused TO consider a policy 0
retrenchment.
Philadelphia Presbytery and mos
OF the Eastern Presbyteries includ
ing New Castle, favor the reduction
The issue will be a live one at LAX,

N. Y.-That direct wage pay

cents OF every dollar OF transporta-

cents in 1917. is indicated by Bureau
OF Railway Statistics. Washington.
The 1920 ratio. however. does not
represent present ratio. for two rea-
sons: Jelly wage award was in
force only eight months OF 1920. and
revenues have fallen below level
represented by 1920 gross.
For quarter ended September 30.

Of the dollar. Forces and total
payroll have been reduced since Sep
tember. but not enough to Offset the
extraordinarily rapid shrinkage Of

During actual year 1920 and in
1917. the revenue dollar went into

note that in 1920 interest and rem

against 1917 cents in 1917, while
dividends called for only AS cents
per dollar. against cents in 1917.
