No tickets were given out yesterday TO those OF
the unemployed who are still without work, but
800 tickets will be issued To those on the regis
ter 10. day. at 1920 o'clock A. NJ, from the
Chamber OF Commerce, at the LeidesdorH-
street entrance.
Last night 1921 men were paid at the close
OF the day and 1t is expected that tomorrow at
least 1000 will be on the payroll.
Although the Supervisors al their latest meet
Ing adopted a resolution suggesting that the
men employed by the relief committee should
he put TO work on Alta Plaza the committee
has decided TO make no change In its plans.
Concerning this Secretary Rolla WHAT'S wrote
TO the board that the executive committee,
after due consideration. "does not sre its way
clear to change its original action employing
men only in Golden Gate Park(, believing that
any deviation from the original plan would
subject the committee to criticism. The Golden
Gate Park is the peoples park and does not
belong 10 any particular section, but to the city
entirely, and all work done tn re is for the
permanent and lasting benefit of the cOmmu-
nifty I large. We are Informed by the Park
Commissioners that they can use an unlimited
number of men for long period of time, hence
there does not seem to be a surplus of labor
ana, therefore, no absolute nee ssily for chang
Ing the first plans of the committee"
Ihe contributions are coming In we'll, but
the tact has become patent that in order to ac-
c0mpllsh what ought 10 be done in the prem

one OF those most interested says, people who
are not hung ought not 10 hesitate bout CIV

exhausted about February l. and many must
have employment throughout that month or
they will suffer greatly.
1t is hoped that people desiring help will ap-

California street Methodist churches will sup

is thought best TO discontinue the practice OF
providing food for them after SaI urday, as 1t is
believed that the majority OF workers, though
grateful for the kindness, are quite willing TO

As regards supplying work for the unem-
pl0yed women no definite action was taken
yesterday In their behalf, save the opening of
the bureau of information at the headquarters
OF the Womrn's Educational and Industrial
Union, 324 Suffer street.
In this connection it is well to state that
while The oppOr unities offered by the ladies'
who have sent their addresses to the union are
for the most part intended for girls and women
who have no one dependent upon them homes
can undoubtedly be found Tor women who have
one child
1t is hoped that many of those who have
made application for relief Will take advantage
OF the Kindness OF the ladies OF the union and
secure homes which if Temporary will at cast
be pleasant and comfortable. In these homes
they Will AT least b. enabled 10 main ain their

they are Selt-supporting and not objects of
charity.
Tie idea OF opening registration bureaus in
order TO ascertain just how many are in need
of assistance meets with much favor and will
undoubtedly be put into operation as sOOn az
suitable arrangements can be made berefor.
