THE EMERGENCY
Funds Desired for the
Unemployed.
The Relief Work Likely to Be Cur
tailed Unless Citizens Send
in Subscriptions.

The citizens executive committee met yes
terday morning at the Merchants Exchange
and transacted considerable business in con-
nectlon with the unemployed.
here were present: Father Montgomery,
Rabbi Voorsanger. NJ. z. JONES' Lippman
Sachs, William Ba3cock, David Bush, w. NJ.
Bunker, Isaac Hecht, Hugh Craig, Walter
Castle, DIR. A. {. Hirst and Mayor L. K. Ebert,
together with Secretaries Walt and Nippert.
The financial aspect of the relief fund was
discussed and il was Of cIded 10 urge upon the
public The necessity for contributions. Many
who sent checks in January might renew their
subscriptions for F. bruary. The necessity was
estimated as most urgent and as promising best
returns for little timely outlay.
Ii was estimated that 100000 In all would
be needed o tide over the time of distress. or
that sum about $4,000 had been received and
S34, 900 expended, leaving some S2l, 900 still
on hand. The COMMITTEES thought that there
should be no dificulty In raising he remaining
$45, 900 II the citizens realized the eme gency.
All the members of The committee beside Civ
ing thei time freely have contributed in money
and, as one member said YESTERDAY. all are will
Ing 10 continue TO serve, but think that other
citizens who are benefited by the undertaking
might at least send check In lieu of personal
attention. IL was public work and public
duty.
A communication was read from the Park
Commissioners 10 the effect that while they
would try to provide work for all the men sent
out Dy tile committees III WOulQ De desirable 10
limit he number to 1900 or 1900, as not more
than that number could be advantageously set
TO WORK.
Three hundred tickets were taken up and
300 distributed 10 married men. Six hundred
applicants were on hand in the rain.
The committee Is trying 10 obtain the CO.
operation of the car companies in its work
They derive quite a revenue by transporting
the men to and from their work In the park
Hitherto The companies have sent no subscrip-
ton nor offered any rebate. All The COM
mittee wishes Is TO have them return the
amount they have thus taken from the relief
fund. When all other citizens are helping 10
swell the fund 1t seems TO the committee I'M
just for the car companies TO make a profit out
of The public charity.
1t was not expected that any tickets would
be distributed TO-DAY.
