United Charities is
Still in Stafu Quo

position which they fill is not primari-
ly that of charity Investigator.
Police Matron Suggested.
Mr.. Belmans suggestion that the city
should have a police matron brought
the objection that charity of this ma
ture carries with it a certain stigma,
and that the law does not intend that
this official should conduct United
Charity bureau, when she is being paid
to be a police matron. In this connec-
tion Mr.. Mcdaniel suggested that in
as-much as the legislature is now in
session that a bill be proposed to pro-
vide for city charity bureau and
charity worker, but no action was TAX
en- on this practical suggestion.
Money First Considerations.
Trustee John c. Becker who was at
the meeting. was very enthusiastic
about organized charity, having seen
the advantages OF systematic work in
his own office. Several giaring cases
of duplicated and undeserved charity
were related The question next turn
ed to the financing of the movement,
and it was decided to have this ques-
ton settled first. and later to make a
report to a citizens meeting. 1t was
deemed advisable that money enough
month should be pledged in other
words. a fund ranging between seven
hundred and thousand dollars, must
be in sight before the organized chart
ty work shall be undertaken.
Chairman To Call Next Meeting.
Mrs. r. o. Winckler who is United
Charity enthusiast, stated that in the
near future, the national head of Unit
ed Charities would come from New
York to Chicago and that she had the
assurance of the Chicago workers that
he would be at Hammond's service for
one evening to discuss the subject.
In the discussion last night. some old
ground was covered again, and some
of the points emphasized were. that the
primary object of United Charity or
ganization is not to give emergency re-
lief, that the bureau will point out TO
the various charity organizations and
workers where they can be of assist
ance; that in charity matters. West
Hammond is part of the community
and that the state line is eliminated
that the scope of existing charity or
ganizations are to be in no way limited
or their activities curtailed that the
bureau would assist each much as
possible: that the project intended 70
be community movement; that one
of tht objects of organized charity is
to teach the dependent how to take
care of themselves. and that the prin-
eiples of this cooperation are under
stood, the movement will grow in
popularity.
Tint next meeting will be held at the
call of the chairman.
