900 UNEMPLOYED ASK AID
ST. LOUIS SEES DEMONSTRATION
BY ARMY OF NEEDY.
Appeal to Mayor and Bill to Help
Them Is introduced
In Council.

st. Louis, Jan. 15.-Hungry and out
Of work, 500 thinly-clad men marched
through the snow and cold to the city
hall Tuesday seeking Mayor Wells in
order to make application for his as
sistance in securing employment
James Eads How, philanthropist and
scion of prominent family, who
proudly styles himself hobo" led
the procession, and the Welfare asso
citation, of which he is the founder
and benefactor, formed the nucleus
of the army"
When the start was made from the
association headquarters 500 men
were in line, w. J. Millard, a socialist
leader of Cincinnati, acting as mar
shall. A meal of bread and black cot
fee was served just before the start,
each man getting two slices Of bread
and tin-cup of coffee. At first the
column moved on the sidewalk, but
soon went to the center of the street
The leaders shouted invitations to
men on the sidewalk to join the ranks
of the unemployed, and soon the
ranks were swelled to 500. All the
way the men were orderly and a
special police force had nothing
to do.
While the hungry horde lined up in
the city hall grounds, committee
representing the army" waited on
Mayor Wells. Mayor Wells assured
the men that he would do all in his
power to give them employment if
ne could find the city work to be done.
Il cannot give you charity work.
said Mayor Wells. Under present
conditions the only thing | can do
is divide the work now being done for
the city and give part to you"
This met with the approval of the
committee, and after the departure
Mayor Wells instructed Street Com
missioner Trayilla to prepare an ordi-
nance calling for an appropriation of
$4,000 for street work, the ordinance
being introduced in the house Of dele
gates Tuesday night.
