20 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1917. PENSION FUND FOR CLERGY IS INDORSED Portland Episcopalians Say Move to Aid Aged Minis 'v. ters Is Only Just. OREGON'S SHARE $417,000 At Ttannurt. at Hotel Portland Vhich Plan Is Discussed Trlb utes to Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts Paid. at episcopal clergy pension i kun as summed ip by I SPEAKERS AT BAXftlET Oh let's wake up. get busy, and raise the fund. Bishop Kea tor. of Olympia. Give as God has blessed you and as you value your church and him. Bishop Walter-Taylor Sumner. As a business man I find the scheme an excellent one. sound, and businesslike. Walter J. Burns. . , . . I sound the confident note that Oregon will raise her share for this plan that is all common sense. J. B. Kerr. We have in the general head. Bishop Lawrence, a man of busl n9 ability as well as clear vision. Frank toria. Spittle, of As- Bnthusiasm for the pension fund for the clergy of the Episcopal Church and eloquent tributes to Bishop Lawrence, of Massachusetts, head of the fund, characterized the addresses that fol lowed the banquet given by Portland Kpiscopalians last night in the Hotel Portland. ... j Bishop W. T. Sumner presided and Frederick W. Keator, of Olympia, was the hoored guest and principal speaker. The great need of the North west for strong men in the church was emphasized by Bishop Keator, who said: "The pension scheme is not a matter of charity. It is one of pure Justice. We expect the strongest and best and brightest men to do.ote their lives to the church and we offer them no se curity. It takes a mirhty brave man, who, with every opportunity before him, will close his eyes to all and enter the church at not more than J1000 a year and no surety that this will bo paid promptly and when he is old to lo k forward to the scrapheap. No. this isn't right. We have to have the strongest men in the church. If there's any part in the United States that needs the pension fund it is right here in the great Northwest. Solution to Problem Seen. "Ton can't go up against the people of Oregon and Washington with a weak-kneed clergy. I know it. People out here have no respect for the apolo getic weak fellow. They respect the man who has convictions and isn't afraid to state them. "This penston fund to assure, the fu ture of our clergy and their widows and orphans will solve the problem. I hope everyone will give something. I'm glad we haven't any of the $10,000 chaps in Olympia. If we had I fear the others would say. "Let George do it.' Oh, my friends, let's wake up and get busy, and let's go to it and give our share. Bishop Keaton was warmly applaud ed and his talk was interrupted fre quently with hand-clapping. Oregon's share of the S5.OC0.00O fund will be but J417.000. Bishop Sumner announced that $5360 had been sub scribed. of this, the clergymen have promised $1200. A mass meeting will be held Sunday night in Trinity Kpisco pal Church, when Bishop Paddock, of Eastern Oregon, will be the speaker, and the matter will be brought to a climax. In the individual parishes pledges will be taken Sunday morning. Bishop Sumner last night urged his diocese to give "as God bad blessed them." Plan Is Declared Sound. w alter J. Burns, chairman of the local committee for the pension fund praised the business-like management and the soundness of the proposition. Jte spoke from the viewpoint of the practical business man and the inter ested, devoted layman. J. B. Kerr added his tribute to those of Mr. Burns in praising Bishop Law rence and his system. He explained the details of the plan that will mean a retirement fund of not less than $600 a year for clergymen above the age of 68 and will mean protection for the disabled, the widows and the orphans. The system is placed under the insur ance commission of the state of New xork. In excess of $-.,000,000 already is raised and the remainder of the $5,000,000 must be in by March 1. J. N. Teal spoke of the usual lack of business genius in ordinary clergymen but said that none of that lack is noted in the pension plan. He scored, the in different laity. "It is not fair for us to expect the best of our young men. and we want the best, to enter the church with noth ing to look forward to but the poor- farm. We pay our club dues. Isn't the church as much to us as the Arling ton, Waverley or the Multnomah Club? It isn t even decent to treat the church as we have. Let's do our duty and do It now. s Hope for Future Expressed.

RIGHT TO WORK UPHELD PEACEFUL PICKETING LAW NOT CLOAK FOR LAWLESSNESS. Federal Judge Holds Clayton Act la Being Abused and Striken Mast Jiot Interfere With Men. TOLEDO. 0 Fed. 14. The right of a man to work Is as inalienable as the right of a man to strike and the right of speech is upheld to that point which allows a man to do his own thinking. Is the substance of an opinion handed down today In the United States DlS' trict Court by Judge John M. KiUits. The court was defining peaceful picketing In connection with disturb ances growing out of the strike of the Ohio State Telephone Company opera tors and linemen. Judge Killits ruled that the Clayton act Is being mlsin terpreted In strikes, contending that the act does not sanction lawlessness. The court held that under the Clay ton act strikers had the right to picket places under strike but were enjoined by either word or act from interfering with others who had been employed to take their places.
