Unemployed Put Emergency Aid and
Doctor Harte in Dilemma.

This dilemma is facing the Emergency
Department of Health and Charlties
How to make the $4,000 fund appropriated
by Councils for the relief of the unem-
ployed of Philadelphia fill the deep abyss
of poverty and misery now prevalent in
this city as a result of the inability of
100000 men who want work to get work.
Bitter complaint was made today by
Mrs. j. w. Martin. of the committee, be-
cause Of this situation.
II do not see what we can possibly do
with the small fund we have in hand"
she said. Unemployed men are swamp
ing our office daily in search of work
which we cannot give them We have no
II wish to make this very clear, in order
to save the men the trouble and dlsap-
pointment of coming here. Our means are
limited. The best we can do with the
fund in hand is to continue the work we
are doing now, of giving employment to
women at home. such as making various
kinds OF clothing and underwear for
which we pay them and which we after
ward distribute to those unfortunates who
were not lucky enough to get work.
Director Harte's office was visited this
X,
as a result of his announcement that he
would be able to give employment to a
number of men in his department Hum
dreds of meh have already filled out ap-
plications for positions. Most of these,
however, will be disappointed
The director does not know the exact
number of positions he might have open,
but the number will not exceed 100. The
Jobs open IN the department are for un-
skilled laboTers, who would receive about
$50 day. Director Harte is working
out an exact list of the positions he may
be able 20 fill
II is becoming more and more evident
that the fund appropriated by Councils
will be but a droR in the bucket as far as
alleviating the unemployed situation In
the city is concerned.
The Emergency Aid Committees office,
It was announced today. will be closed to-
morrow, A plan for the distribution OF
the $4,000 will be announced Monday

nights merrymakers. Experiences has
taught them that rest is essential for tha
march to come.
The parade will leave Broad and Por-
ter lstreets promptly at o'clock and
proceed TO Girard avenue. From this
point the clubs will march where they
individually choose. Orders have been
sent by Councils representative, II. Bart
McHugh that every club must be punc-
tual. Everything possible has been done

vent congestion of vehicles and cars on

direction, no corner takers will be ai-
lowed near the parade Specialists In this

with bargains and "cure-alls." will have
to sell their wares In some other section.
The selling of boxes, crates and barrels
as individual grandstands TO spectators,
is also prohibited by the police, and any
one violating this order will be imme-
dately arrested. In past years, when
this practice was tolerated, thousands OF
boxes and barrels were left In Broad
street after the parade, and these, IN
many instances, were responsible for ac-
cidents.
The police have also been ordered to
prevent the discharge of firearms, the
use of feather ticklers, and the throw
ing Of confetti.
Nothing of an advertising nature will
be permitted in the line. Along the route
there will be sufficient ambulances and
patrols to meet any emergency.
Although parade permits were obtained
by 10 clubs. tho meetings at City Hall
during the last two weeks were attended
by representatives of only q organlza-
tions There viii be ut least 1900 men
