WILL GET JOBS FOR
The CHAR WOMAN
Beginning Tomorrow South
End Center Will Act as
Employment Agency.
MANY INQUIRIES AMONG POOR
Also Persons Wanting Help Made
Application for it at Settle
ment Headquarters.

Beginning tomorrow the South Emo
Center will endeavor to furnish wasf
and scrub women to anyone about
town who desire women for this class
of work. This announcement is made
as the result of the number of in
quiries that are being made each day
| at the club rooms for work by the
poor women throughout the South Chi
| cago district and also by women who
| desire their services for that class of
work
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Miss Grace Darling said Recently we
have been called to the phone a mum
Der of times each day by women who
either want work or women to do work
for them, asking if we could recon-
mend any honest and trustworthy per-
son to them. In the past we have
been compelled to answer their in
quiries with a mo" but from now on.
we viii take the names of all appli-
cants who desire workers or who want
work, and after looking them up will
place them to our best advantage.
VIII be Big Undertaking.
The aides in charge of the South End
Center will be no small task, but the
ladies say they will use their best eff
forts to make their latest branch a
success. No charge will be made for
the service rendered the working WON
en- and no charge will be made to those
who are furnished women for work.
hence the South End Center are MAX
ing nothing but are merely doing this
too, in a measure, take care of the
working class of women.
Since the organization of the local
institution it has done much for South
Chicago. They have taken care of the
destitute. They have offered their SER
vices in looking out for the wayward
girls and for children who get the
habit of playing truant from school.
Several members OF the club recently
appeared before Captain Halpin of the
South Chicago force and volunteered
their services in watching out for tru-
ants, their aid was accepted and now
instead of arresting boy for not at
tending school he is taken in tow bv
the club and is shown the folly of not
going to school, Since the self-depu-
tized truant officers began their work
they have cared for numerous cases of
delinquent children and without an ex-
ception all they have taken in charge
OF are now attending school regularly
and taking an interest in their school
work. Another thing established bv
the club is a Young Mems Non-Par-
tfsan political club which was formu
lated for the purpose of getting the
future voters acquainted with the meth
Oh or voting and getting them to take
an interest In politics. This club is
IN charge of Prosecuting ATTORNEY

men and also two young gentlemen

The benefit derived from this plan
is to give labor first to the married
men with families, and then to give
work to the unmarried men with pref
erence given to those who live in Gary.
No charges will be made to either con-
tractor or laborer. 1t is hoped to re-
iieve the situation in this manner by
giving the Gary workman the first op-
portunity and gradually culling out
those living outside of the city.
Many reports of restitution were
turned in to the club yesterday, and to

q contractor for the shipment of the
stores. including $4,000 pounds of beef
from San Francisco to Magdalena bay,
when il was discovered that the steamer
selected for this purpose did not have
the facilities for carrying all the sup
plies necessary. The paymasJer gen
eral has met the emergency by placing
the order for the beef and lesser meats,
such as turkeys. etc, in the open mar
ket, and the Solace is en- route from
Magdalena bay to San Diego TO carry
the meat back to the fleet The frozen
beef will be stored in bulk. packed in
ice, aboard the Solace and the other
meats will be placed in cold storage.
The contractor has guaranteed the de-
livery OF the meat in this form at
Magdalena bay. The side trip of the
Solaee will delay the departure of that
ship to the Atlantic coast.
Arrangements have been made to
carry into effect the executive order
which dispenses with marine guards

cabled to the commander in chief OF

Congressman McKinlay and
Knowland Address Meeting
and Promise Assistance

The railway mail clerks association
enjoyed its first annual banquet last
night in the Bismarck, and more than
100 were present, as were Congressman
D. c. McKin1ay. J. r. Knowland and E.
A Hayes. The table was beautifully
decorated and an excellent musical pro-
gram was furnished. The railway mail
clerks are making an effort to have the
civil service commissioners improve the
method by which vacancies are filed.
AS it is now, they are compelled 10 wait
long periods before vacancies are filed,
which compels the regular clerks to
work extra hours, with no additional
compensation.
Congressmen McKinlay and Know
land addressed the clerks and offered
words of encouragement. They both
stated that they favored the proposed
amendment to the bill passed last year,
which would provide remuneration for
the railway mail employees injured
through no fault of their own while at
work
Those present at the guest table were
Congressman McKinlay, Knowland and
Hayes; John Butterworth, president of
the eighth division of the railway mail
clerks association; Frank Corey, presi-
dent of the San Francisco branch; H j.
