aid were promptly answered and car
loads of supplies have been hurried to
relieve the most pressing needs of the
helpless army Of unemployed.
The first appeal for aid came from
a small gathering of men at Hurley.
They wrote a polite but firm note to
Gov. Peck and told him they were
forced to be idle, had had no work to
speak of for six months. winter was st
hand and their families were starving.
Gov. Peck hastily made an investiga-
ton and satisfied himself that the de-
mand was Just and reasonable and set
out at once to furnish them food and
clothing. He made q public call and
it was quickly responded to and cart
loads Of supplies were started north
within q few days. Gov. Peck visited
the sufferers with his military staff
and personally directed the distribu-
ton of the first special train Of sup
plies. The governor visited scores Of
the unfortunate people and assured
them that everything in his power
would be done to help them through
the winter.
Gov. Rich. of Michigan. followed the
example set by Gov. Peck and called q
meeting Of the mayors of leading Michi.
gan cities and secured funds with which
supplies were procured and sent to the
destitute families in the Michigan
towns. Generous people all over the
west have since sent money and sup
plies to the two governors aid. The
mot of.the people have been provided
wit l8fkh supplies to last them sew
