THE UNEMPLOYED.
To Be Furnished Work at
Once.
1t is to Be Done in the Park and the
Wages Will Be One Dollar
Day.

Action looking to tue relief OF the unem-
pl0yed was taken yesterday by tie executive
committee appointed by Isaac Hecht at its e K
ecutive session in the rooms of the Merchants
Club.
David Bush was elected chairman and the
committee proceeded 10 business at once.
Messrs. Daniel and Davies. representatives OF
the unemployed and who had charge of the
registration, were present. There was una
nimity of sentiment that the funds obtained for
relief purposes should be expended at Golden
Gate Park. under the supervision of the Park
Commissioners and that the wages should be
81 a day. The principal reason for fixing the
wages at this figure was that it would at least
keep the wolf away from the door; that /
would enable the committee 10 give wGrk TO a
larger humber OF men than if higher wages were
paid; that 10 would prevent large influx OF
unemployed from other districts. and that there
would he no inducement for any man to work
for the committee if he could get a better posi-
ZION. 1t is hoped that arrangements may be
completed so that work may be commenced to-
morrow morning. Those anxious 10 90 TO
work should apply at the Merchants Exchange
after O'Clock this afternoon
