The various relief committees are busly

them. and, individually and collectively,

tee last night. an account of which appears

ing of the central bureau in room 81, At
lantic building Chairman Simon Wolf and
Messrs. McGill, Mccormick, RanCle and
Bowman issued the following address to
the citizens of Washington:
The reception of our brave boys was a
great success. The caring for and aiding of
those seeking and needing employment
must be equally successful. We have
promised to do so, and our words must
grow into acts. AS your representatives
we have opened an employment bureau,
room No. 81 in the Atlantic building. The
same will be osen from O'Clock a. M to 5
o'clock pm. daily. A complete roster will
be found there of the names, character,
recommendations, and kind cf work sought
by each soldier.
I'VE seek your cooperation and arrest.
ly appeal to you to aid us in every way
possible, so that the ends sought can be
promptly and practically reached. those
who can give employment are earnestly
requested to send in their names at once.
Let us show the brave men that we will
not spare time or money in the endeavor to
make them comfortable and sef-sustain-
ing"
Work of investigation.
The subcommittee of seven Of the inves-
tlgating committee. presided over by Mr. B.
HI. Warner, has been devoting itself to eX-
amining into the conditions of the various
families of District soldiers reported as be-
ing in need Of assistance, and will report
at meeting to be held at the board Of
trade rooms tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock. The subcommittee will also meet
in the evening at o'clock at the residence
OF Mrs Dickins, on 18th street.
1t is understood that the subcommittee
members have ascertained that few. IL any
families are in need of immediate relief
owing to the fact that the soldiers on COM
ing home brought money with them from
the pay they received at Montauk. 1t is
also thought that more assistance will be
required two or three months hence. when
the men in question finally mustered
out of service, and will have no resources
or course, wherever there are cases which
demand immediate attention they are pro-
vided for at once.
The work along all the lines is being
rapidly systematized, and in a few days it
will be possible to understand precisely
what Will be needed to meet present emer-
Sencles and future requirements.
