300 Baptist Ministers
Lack Means of Support
DIR. Haggard Makes Estimate {;
Announces AllOtments in
S6.OOO.OOO Drive

Three hundred aged or sick Baptist
ministers in the Northern Baptist Con-
vention are beyond aid by their church
because of limited funds, DR.. Fred p.
Haggard, director of the national COM
mittee of Northern Baptist Laymen, de-
clared last night in announcing state
alotments for the S6,000,000 Victory
campaign
"Thc treatment Of its ministry is
the outstanding shame Of the Protest
ant church," said DIR. Haggard
"Baptists must acknowledge their full
share Of this humiliation. But we need
not continue the disgrace any longer
than we elect. If this drive succeeds
funds of the Ministers aud Missionaries
Benefit Board
There are 1855 Baptist preachers in
the Northern Baptist Convention who
are unable. by reason of age or sickness
or the preference of churches for young
er men, to perform the duties of the
ministry, and who have no adequate
means of support. At the present time
only 455 of the 755 in need can be as
sisted because of the lack of funds.
"Thc fear of poverty is keeping many
a red -blooded young man out of the
ministry. The Baptist denomination
plans to look after its 10000 clergymen
better than ever before. That is one
reason for the Victory Campaign in
which we are now engaged. We expect
to raise S2,5000O0 through the churches,
and S3,500,000 should be realized
through individual gifts"

During the war when men in our
line could get $50 to $50 week we
fulfilled our agreement to supply the
New York builders with men at S33 a
week. We mad a contract and we kept
it. In every other city where we had
contracts the employers voluntarily
increased the rates. Here they in
sisted on getting their full pound of

According to a well-known builder
the position of the employers assoc-

the rate"
There are" said this man, "many
thousands of idle carpenters. Many
thousands more will be idle as soon
as the shipyards begin to close down

BRENNAN WOULD GIVE VETERANS ALL VACANCIES Believes Public Appoint ments Should be Directed
 to Service Men. PROMINENT MEN
 OF SAME OPINION Should Slow Our Apprecia- tion in Very E-aterial
 Way.

Fire Commissioner Francis J. Brennan would not limit world war veterans to appointments on the po- lice force and in the fire department of the city, but would give them the preference in every case of a public appointment, if they were qualified for the job in which there was a va "ancy. In a statement to The Times, Commissioner Brennan said:
 q certainly believe that all ap- pointmcnts in the police and fire de- partments should go hereafter to men who have served their country as sol diers, sailors or marines. | go even further and suggest that public ap- pointments should be directed to ser vice men whenever they are qualified to flI the position. The American boys performed very difficult task and their countrymen shouId and in tend to show their appreciation in q very material nneasure."
 pr Philip J. Mclaughlin said:
 Preference in all appointm rents to police and fire positions certainly ought to usto qualified service man."
 William 'Shaughnessy, the we'll known contractor, who is carrying on much large construction in this city, se i'd today:
 In selecting employees for myself, I give the preference to the soldiers. The City of Bridgeport should not do less. The service men ars young, strong and vigorous. The city will get more than it gives from those of the boys who become policemen and fiTemen."
 Earl M. Christie, Bridgeport repre- sentative of the Jacob RupPert Co.,, said:
 "Policemen and firemen perform semi military functions. The city will gain if it appoints soldiers and sailors who have had discipline and training that comes from military and naval service
 Postmaster Charles Farnum Greene, said:
 "In the postoffiCe in Bridgeport w are putting all the boys who we1 to war back. They have the same grades at the same salary they would have had, if they remained in the postal service. We start them with a two weeks vacation with pay, if Iey desire it. In making additions to the staff we give preferences to soldiers. sailors and marines. I am surely of the opinion that all appointments to the poIce and fire departments shonld go to the healthy, vigorous, clean, competent and disciplined vet- erans of the world war;
