The San Francisco call., 1897-02-25

Hugh Craig thought that Labor Com
missioner Fitzgerald should be notified to
this effect at once.
Louis Sloss Jr. thought that no general
advantage could accrue from this pro-
posal. 1t would simply take a few men
out OF town for a short time and neces-
state their return again, perhaps, without
money to bring them back. 1t would be
better to keep them here, where they be-
longed.
Our remarks" said Mr.. Craig,
do not apply to family men, but
married men who will not accept an offer
OF this kind they deserve to starve, and
will not collect money for those who are
capable of refusing such an offer. II the
single men can be provided for in that
way they should thank God for it."
The chairman here made q valuable
suggestion to the effect that the wheel
men of the City should be asked to con-
tribute something to the boulevard.
I'VE have no good road leading out of
the City, he said, except the San Bruno
road, which is only good for six months
IN the year; and the Mission road, where
the grades are too steep. am quite sure
that If the 10000 wheelmen in this City
knew that the boulevard would be made
so as to afford an outlet, they would con-
tribute very literally. l think that two or
three OF them should be put on the COM
mittee TO solicit funds"
The importance of Mr.. Elle-t's sugges-
ton was generally recognized and steps
will prob bly, be taken in this direction.
Theexecutive committee then adjourned
and the finance committee met for the
purposes stated in Mr.. Bunker's motion.
The secretary informed the committee
that he had received from Mayor Phelan
| letter addressed to the latter
from ]. w. Anderson, president OF
hQ koI
League, which stated that the league
would play series of thirty games during
| 1897 and had decided to make the OPEN
ing game a benefit for the unemployed
| fund. The league ielt sure that the game
would attract 1000 people, which, at 25
| cents each, meant large sum OF money.
! The league desired the committee to name
one or more parties to cooperate with it
and for itself guaranteed the sale of 1900
! tickets.
No immediate action was taken, beyond
lnstrncting the secretary TO acknowledge
| The letter.
| The committee proceeded to map out
| the City into districts and to draft list of
subcommittee TO canvass among other
! special departments the following:
| Banks, insurance, Produce Exchange City
Hail. butchers, real estate, Stock and Bond
Exchange, Bar Association, transportation
companies, lumber, wine and theaters.
MIR. Bunker afterward moved that the
committee appeal to the public to me ct
the demands OF immediate necessity by
sending supplies of all kinds to the head
| quarters of the unemployed as soon as
possible. In the case of money donations
| subscribers are warned not to make the
same to any save properly authorized
committees.
w. j. Martin of the South San Francisco
Land and Improvement Company desired
10 confer with the committee on behalf of
San Mateo on the subject of the proposed
boulevard, but was referred to the boule-
| ward committee.
The meeting adjourned with the under.
| standing that the finance committee will
meet again at IL O'Clock this morning and
| the executive committee at 8 P. NJ. to COM
plete the appointment of the sub-commit-
| tees.
The unemployed headquarters yester-
day presented the usual scene of hustle
and activity. There are now nearly 400
names on The register and the CRY is ''stilI
they come" Apart from the men who
are supported on the premises the organi-
zatlon Is provisioning fifty outside fami-
lies, which are in imm edlate need, and its
committee on family relief is kept contin-
uatly busy investigating additional appli-
cations for this kind of assistance. The
com missariat wagon was out yesterday,
and in the course OF its travels through
South San Francisco collected, anon q
other food supplies, five sacks of potatoes,
300 pounds OF meat, two sacks of -four, q
sack OF beans and 75 pounds of pigsfeet.
