the following letter has been prepared:
The committee on San Francisco re-
lief fund for photographers feel that you
viii be anxious to hear how matters
stand with the craft out here, what the
future prospects are and what has been
done to assist our unfortunate brothers.
About seventy members of our associa-
tion were affected by the fire, thrown
out of employment and lost all their
tools, etc. OF this number, more than
forty lost their homes and all their
worldly belongings. Some have since
secured employment in other cities. the
paying transportation Oh ln6
brothers and their families. After look
ing TO the immediate relief of our
brothers the first few weeks, the COM
mittee adopted the following plan.
which they are now working under:
STILL HELPING MEMBERS.
Those that are still unable to leave
town or secure employment are to re-
ceive the same benefits as locked out
members. viz: SO to married men. Sc
to single men. Should any brother de-
sire to leave the city to go to a posi-
ton, transportation for himself and
family is to be paid from the relief
fund. Not shop has moved a wheel as
yet, but all are preparing to start in
again. and we hope that in the near flu
ture all will be working and order will
be brought out of chaos.
'On behalf of Subordinate Associa-
tion No. II. we wish to extend our sin
cere thanks to all for the noble and
generous manner in which the brothers
of the craft came to our assistance and
showed that the brotherhood of man
still had place in all hearts"
