Nearly One Million
 Involved In Strikes
 and LOckOuts In 1923

Washington, D. C., July 26-Nearly 100000 men and women were involv- ed directly and indirectly in 1,41o strikes and lockouts which were brought to the attention of the U. s. Department of Labor in 1923, the De- partn1ent announces in a report just published.
 The Department attempted to list and record the results in all the principal industrial disputes throughout the en- tire country during the year. It is un- likely, however, that hte record is ab- solutely complete, officials explain This is because some of the Departments re- ports were received through voluntary and unofficial sources.
 More strikes occurred in New York than in any other state, according to the record. From that state 379 dis putes were recorded Pennsylvania ranked second with total of 232, while Massachusetts was third with 115 dis putes. New Jersey ranks next with a report showing 73 strikes Some other states in which strike activity was com paratively great were Ohio, 61; Con- necticut 45; California, 40; Washing ton, 30; Indiana, 34; and Michigan, IS In Delaware one strike was recorded and this, together with the /reports from some western states, Is where tho record is believed to be incomplete

NEW PENSION PLAN
ADOPTED At MEET
BY PRESBYTER|ANS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May "a.
(By the Associated Press. )--Will
H. Hays, former postmaster general,
presented new pension plan for
ministers, missionaries and all ac-
credited workers of the denomina-
ton at the general assembly of the
Presbyterian Church OF the United
States here today. The plan, which
is tine product of a, years work by
d special lay committee, of which
Hays is chairman, was adopted
unanimously by the assembly.
If the plan is accepted by ma
jority of the 10000 Presbyterian
churches of the country it will mark
one of the most important steps
taken in years toward providing
for servants of the church in their
old age and for their widows and
orphans as we'll
The plan is based on salary and
service, the minister or other eli
Gible church worker pays IL per
cent of his salary annually toward
the pension; the church he serves
pays IL per cent. At the age OF
So he is eligible to retirement on
a pension equal to half Of his aver
age salary, with a minimum of $500
set.
The resolutions adopted by the as
sembly today provide that the Hays
plan hereafter be the pension sys-
tenn of the Presbyterian church and
that it will begin functioning not
later than April l, 1926. They call
for change in the title of the board
of ministerial relief and sustentatio
to the board of pensions; provide
for the abolition of the so-called hon
or roll and recommend that the
present sustentation department be
closed to all further membership.
Discussion of the pension plan oc-
cupied most of todays session.
There were some committee reports
but none OF the controversial bills
and overtures has reached the floor
of the assembly.
The assembly sidetracked efforts
intended to lead to erection of ma
tional Presbyterian church and
school at Washington, n. c., refer.
ring resolution on the subject to
the general council. A sentiment
opposed to increasing the church ex-
penses was strongly in evidence dur
ing debate on the resolution.
Rotation every five years of the
annual meeting of the genera las
sembly was approved at todays Ises-
sion, which also voted in favor of in
creasing the per capita tax from IL
to 13 cents for each communicate
member to provide sufficient funds
for holding the assemblies in far
parts of the country.
Under the rotation plan the coun.
try is divided into five areas and
it is proposed to hold each success
slve assembly in a different area
until the five-year swing is complet.
ed. No session of the assembly will
be held tomorrow, but prominent
clergymen and laymen attending the
assembly will speak in several
churches of the city. Frank o. Low
den, former governor of Illinois, will
address a popular meeting in the
afternoon,

is the best possible tribute that could
be paid to the efficiency and sound
ness of the association.
Acid Test This Season
The course of prices in the mar
ket this season has been as unfaVor-
able to the co-operatives as their
betterest opponents could wish for.
The high point for the season was
registered on December 1 and the
price then went off steadily until
it reached a level below 80 cents
where it marked time for several
months. 1t was necessary for the
associations to sell part of their cot
ton during these months of stagna-
ton, for it is the elemental principle
of the cooperatives that they shall
not gamble on the future price but
shall market their cotton in an or
derby and systematic manner.
This unfaVorable course Of the
market has had rather unexpected
reaction on the sentiment of the
members of the association. Off
Gals were inclined to expect some
dissatisfaction. They thought it
would be natural for a fair percent
age of members to expect the as
ISOLATION to have unloaded it's hold
ings at the peak price-a thing
which, of course, was not only inn
possible-for such selling would
have broken the market before it
had got started-but which also was
violotive of the fundamental prin-
ciple of the Sapiro plan for grad
ual marketing.
However, evidence is obtained
daily that instead Of being disaf-
fected by the unfavorable course of
the market the members to an al
most 100 per cent extent have seen
that only the cooperative holdings
made the high price of December !
possible, kept the market from ut,
ter generalization in subsequent
months and are largely responsible
for the strength being shown now
They seem unanimous in believing
that the present season, instead of
exposing weakness in the coop
erative principle, has illustrated
most effectively the helpfulness OF
the association to the farmer.
The great gathering of the 107
farmers from Carroll and Coweta
here Friday, remarkable as it was.
is merely one indication of how the
association members throughout the
state have been confirmed in their
loyalty, President Conwell says.
