IN BALTIMORE.
Friday saw the close Of the work Of the
Temporary Relief association, which,
since September IL, had been assisting
the poverty stricken of Baltimore.
The work was begun by the Garment
Makers union and the directors Of the
Hebrew Friendly Inn, who have been
increasingly at work, soliciting donations
from the chRritably inclined. Many Of
these people who have been fed, clothed
and ministered unto by skilled physi-
clans have been Gentiles. The RssociR-
tion did not discriminate, but gave freely
to all who asked for food.
Wagons were kept moving about the
city collecting and distributing provis-
ions from early morn till late at night.
Those who worked at headquarters,
which were established at 1017 East
Lombard street, were men whose business
suffered by their absence, yet they have
continued on, fighting starvation, which
was plainly making its presence known
and felt among the unfortunate unem-
ployed.
"Msny methods were adopted" SAID
A. j. Sugar, "by the association to carry
the work over the coming winter, which,
with its intense cold, will undoubtedly
cause great suffering among the poor
people Of Baltimore. It is well enough
to say that our people are Jews and
should be cared for by their own people,
but the fact remains that our people who
could do and have done for the sufferers,
can do nothing more.
"It ia the province Of those to lend
helping hand who can now do 30. Let
the people stop to think what it means
to cit in room void Of all home COM
forts, without bread or meat or fuel, and
with small prospects of work, and am
sure that they will find that their gener-
GUS charity extended to Brunswick, Ga.
ought not to have overlooked the suffer.

ing fairly and honestly in this matter
Personally, | feel no compunction in Civ
ing to the Brunswick people, for / have
done my duty at home. But, I, for one
will hold to my own in my own city"
The association became divided on
October 8, the Friendly Inn controlling
the management OF the work. The
Garment Makers Union was dissatisfied
because the more influential people failed
to help In the charity. They had made
every effort, they said, to secure greater
strength to support the continuance Of
the charity, and could depend on them
selves no longer.
During the existence Of the charity
more than $4,000 had been expended
towards relieving the destitute. Up tc
within three weeks ago food was dis
tributed daily. OF late, Monday
Wednesday and Friday have been the
days for distribution. AT the start the
association fed 300 families day. Since
the second week in October there have
been about 225 families fed.
"There are now," Mr.. Sugar says
"about 24O families who are actually suf.
fering."

for the Indians 20 hunt over. You SEE,
they would not work; they were not
made by God TO work, as they put II;
they were made 20 hunt and loaf, that's
all. Pretty early In the game they drove
all the varmint out of The Strip, across
canyons Of the Rockies And when the
hunting was bad m the Strip the Indians
abandoned and, rs we claim here, lost
