Pacific Exposition

Trammell is in receipt OF a letter
from Mrs. Evelyn B. Keck, general
secretary of the Young Women S
Christian Association of San Fran
cisco, Calf, requesting that he ad-
wise young ladies and girls who have
an idea of going to San Francisco to
seek employment during the Panama
Pacific Exposition to abandon the
idea, as there are already more per-
sons seeking employment there than
will be able to procure positions
The letter to the governor is as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: May we not ask your
aid in coping with a situation which
is rapidly becoming alarming? Wom-
en- and girls from Eastern states are
coming to us in constantly increas-
ing numbers. Trained nurses, teach
all walks of life, are relinquishing
good positions in the East and COM
ing to California, explaining that
they have been given to understand
throughout the East that the Pan
anna Pacific Exposition will create
positions for more women than can
possibly be found to fill them. Many
OF these women are here without
money and without friends. and they
say that they are already starving
If the conditions are such in 1913,
what will they be in a few months
I'VE appeal to you to reach the
women and girls of your state, thru
the press, or by whatever agencies
you may deem most ef:cacious. i'm
pressing upon them the seriousness
of the situation, and the fact that
there are more than enough women
II fill every position which is now
open, an1 every one which might be
treated as the result OF the exposi-
ion"
