Ministers IVay Strike
For Hiqher Salaries.
Boston, Mas*. —Declaring that
many Boston ministers an* unable
to support their families* on the
stliall salaries they receive ami that
H Ver.il of them are forced to till
the soil fora living, the Ib*v. Her
bert S. Johnson, pastor of the \\ ar
ren Avenue Baptist church, advo
cates the format ion of a ministers
union, and a 'Meeting of the Boston
pastors of all Protest mt denomina
tions will lie called.
The proposed Union will he based
on tin same principle# as those < f
organized labor, and is intended to
have the same sort of restrictive
ami protective features. There wi'l
he a clause covering a movement on
.the part of the clergy answering to
the “strike" of the workingmen,
and there will also he a functionary
of the nature of the walking dele
gate.
“The conditions among ministers
la-re in Boston are such that some
thing has to Im* done, said the
I lev. Mr. Johnson. A niunUr of
my friends in this city are actually
preparing to leave "the ministry.
They have Iniught little farms in
New England, to which they will
retire Ik-chuhc they simply can not
live on their salaries.
“During the great panic, in BStlB,
ministers' salaries had to undergo a
general reduction. In tin 1 major
ity of instances, even though years
of prosperity have intervened, they
have not been restored. Here is
enough ground for our proposed
union. Ministers, as a class, can
not live on the schedule of wages
they receive today. The situation
is very grave.
“The proposed union would ar
bitrate not only salaries, but a
number of other questions would
U- under its control. There are
constant abuses of the various de
nominations concerning calls to
pastorates and dismissals, the free
dom of the pulpit and other mat
ters of basic importance in the to t
duet of tlit; ministry." —New York
Herald.
