GIVING OUT THE WORK.
Tho Relief Work by the Committee
Will go on To-day.
THE FORCE OF LBB0RERS NAMED
For Monday, as Yesterdays List Got
Only Half Days Work aud WIN
be Confined To.day-ono Dona-
tiou Received and Several Loads of
Coal Sent out Yesterday.

The mon selected from tho $50 on the
register as applicants for work on the
streets yesterday afternoon will not 20
to work, until Monday. About 800 OF
them gathered in the police court room
shortly after4 o'clock yesterday. Those
who could secure seats occupied the
benches, while the others stood about
the walls. All in all they were Il pretty
good looking lotof Iaboring men and all
anxious to 80 to work.
Mayor Caldwell called the assembly
to order and introduced Mr.. c. &. Hart,
chairman OF the relief committee,
who, he said, would make an explana-
tion to the men.
Mr.. HART EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Hart explained tina. the commit
tee was organized 10 relieve those who
were needy, either by ministering to
their wants or by giving them work.
The committee had the privilege OF dis
tributing among the unemployed the
work to be done By the board
OF public works. The wages 10
DO pnid for this work had al
ready been fixed. Alter this work was
all done the committee hoped to have
at its disposal funds contributed by
citizens for the purpose Of giving addt-
tional employment The pay for this
work would probably be fixed on q ba-
sis which would make the money reach
the greatest possible number OF men.
The committees work was new, and
it might be expected to make some mis-
takes, but he gave the assurance that
what it had done was done with the sole
purpose OF relieving the needs OF the
poor and unemployed. Any sugges-
tons sent to the committee would DO
welcome.
lie explained that each day Mt hall
past o'clock the list OF names OF those
to be employed the next day would be
read in the police court room and
tickets issued to all The committee
had aimed to employ first the most
needy-those whom the register show
ed to have been out OF work the longest
and to have the most people dependent
on them.
The list read yesterday, he explained,
was intended TO be for to-day, but owing
to the fact that the men given tickets
on Thursday afternoon Tor EN- ployment
yesterday only got q half days employ
ment on account OF tine rain yesterday
forenoon, this plan had to be changed
and the tickets issued yesterday would
be for work on Monday. The supcriu-
tendents had not taken up the tickets
issued for Friday and they will hold
good Tor to-day. Hereafter, however,
tickets will only be good for the day
for which they are issued.
After MIR. Harris explanation had
been repeated in German for the bene-
fit OF those who did not understand Eng
rsh the calling OF the names and issu-
ing of the tickets began, the recipients
passing the desk and receiving their
tickets and then passing out the other
door.
Seventy-four OF tho waiting men were
made happy by being given the coveted
tickets, while the others went away dis
appointed, but willing to wait their
turn.
