Stricken Quarter In
Lower East Side Today
Is Scene of Mourning

NEW YORK. March 27.-It was the
lower East Side of Manhattan, between
Second avenue and Avenue c, almost
the exact location that furnished a ma
jority of the victims of the destruction
. OF the steamer General SlOcum, that
suffered most by Saturdays holocaust
in the Triangle waist factory. Some one
seems TO have been lost in every street
in this quarter, and today groups as
sembled in the rain and stood outside
of the houses 10 which bodies had been
brought from the mOgue.
In many instances, where the victims
were orthodox Jews. their bodies were
brought home only for prayers and then
taken Immediately to the cemeteries, as
the faith makes immediate burial of
those suffering violent death compul-
sorry.
Scene of Mourning.
But there were many to whom this did
not apply. and the bodies were sur
rounded by the bereaved relatives whose
NCTies and waiIing made the task of those
who had to pass through the quarter a
sorroWful one.
There vas evident need for immediate
rel!et IN every hand today. In many
insrin, - the victims had been the sole
Wage ncrs of the families. and their
n.eIEer income had been sufficient only
10 bring in the daily bread as it was
consumed With their incomes cut OF,

committees from labor unions, and vol
urteers VINO appreciated the need were
on hand TO aid.
Bodies Cared For.
While the relief funds have not yet
taken shape, several of the heads OF the
charitable organizations had drawn
their personal checks for money, and
Instructions were given that nobody was
to Re overlooked.
In addition, Undertakers were engaged
to bury those whose families we're with
out funds. Plots were purchased in the
cemeteries, and the borrowing relatives
, were told that proper burial would be
! given their dead.
