GLUT OF MEAT AT HOME.
MONDAY, MAY 17, 1920.
London, Max I
The Food Minister, Mr. McCurdy, in a statement as regards the glut of meat imported from Australasia, explained that this was due to the rapid dimination of the - requirements of the Allied forces on the termination of the war. The British people were temporarily eating half a million tons less fresh meat annually than normally. They kumanly eating three lbs, gow compared with four pre-war. The only apparent explanation was that war- time habits were not yet forgotten. The Government had decided to reduce the wholesale price of mutton from the all round figure of ninepeace to prices ranging from sad to nicepence retail. Control prices will be re- moved. It is 'opined that a drastic reduction will tend to steady and even lower prices in other commodities. He declared only one hall of one per cent, of all mest handled had been condemned.

CLERICAL, TRADE UNION.
PARSON'S RIGHT TO A LIVING WAGE,
An interesting programme, on lines which bear a close resem blance to those of the ordinary trade union, has just been issued [by the Manchester Diocesan Branch of the Clergy Association. Indeed, it would be difficult to indistinguish the Association itself.
from
the onlinary type of trade union. Its aims and ob- jects are differently expressed, [bat in effect they are similar, ["At least a living wage, should} be secured to every candidato for Holy Orders" appears prominent- by among them. What difference does exist seems to be one of method, for "there is not inten- tion of using any other method than that of appealing to tha principles of right, truth, and justice to secure those aims and objects:
The Executive Committee of the Manchester Branch, in 20 explanatory leaflet issued to the clergy of the diocese, says it is convinced that if the true facts regarding the incomes of the ocial and parochial elergs and the changes thereas were made widely known a different attitude towards Church finance would be adapted by the general public: and it goes on to point out, as at example of what co-opera- tion can effect, that the rectors of the ancient parish of Manchester now receive, after united repre- sentations to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, at least £360 yearly, together with a ractory. But whilia man's body most! | be kept healthy to full his best work." the Association has also in. view the general benefit of its order and the good of the whole Church. It is urging paro- chial clergymen to do more in the raing of mones for diocesan objects, advocating a wider lay representation on all diocesan committees. endeavouring to secure better facilites for ex- change of livings, and considering plans to free incumbents from the responsibility of guaranteeing the stipends of assistant curates. Other subjects unde: review include dilapidation, marriage feer, the rents, and Easter offeringa.
On the queston of stipends the Manchester Branch, which now consists of about a hundred members, has issued a number of recommendations, and its Ex- ecutive Committee is discussing wats and means of carrying them into effect. It is urged that all unbearßtted clergy shall re-¦ levita no less than £200 par) annum, rising by annual incre ments of £10 from the date of or- dination. to £300 a year, with an. allowance for each child under eighteen years
and that age.
shall they
A diocesan be paid through fund to which every parish shall contribute: that all benefitted) clergy shall receive not less than £400 a year, rising by annual in- crements of £10 to £509, 1ogether) with a house or its equivalent and an allowance for each child under 15 years of age; and that the smaller livings should be amalgamated so that there shall be one priest for every 5,000 people in town and for every 1,000 in country parisher, where- ever practicable.
The scheme farther provides) for the resignation of all clergy to be optional at 65 years of age, fard-compuleger at 70% for pers
ions of £300, to be self-com- tributory in part; and for opport unity of change of livings every all beneficed Keven years to clergy. It is recommended that the responsibility for raising in- comes to the suggested levels should be placed upon a diocesan committee, and that that com- mittee should decide the proport- ion of each stipend to be raised parochially.
At the special diocesan con- ference last month the Bishop of Manchester renerally approved of £400 as the figure to be aimed at, though he pointed out that it would take about £60,000 a year to secure it to all benefices in the diocese, and that it would entail increasing the present levy in each parish five times over.
