COMMITTEES PLEA
FOR NEEDS OF POOR
AT OUR OWN DOOR
Emergency Aid Workers
Face Difficult Situation
With Determination to In
stitute Efectual Campaign.

Definite plans for raising sufficient
delphia will be completed this afternoon
at a meeting of the Executive Board of
the Emergency Aid Committee at its
headquarters, 1923 Walnut street.
So numerous have been the appeals from
the congested districts of the city that
quick action must be taken at once, it
is said, and the meeting will be devoted
to home relief work
The home relief department OF the COM
mittee has been working day and night
to answer these calls "at our own back
door," but its funds are fast being de-
pleted Unless contributions are forth
coming soon the department will be
rendered Intellectual, with a difficult
problem of winter work before 1t.
Mrs A. j. Cassatt. chairman of the
Executive Board, announced that al
though the collections for war victims
in Europe were for a worthy cause, the
poor of Philadelphia must not be
neglected under any circumstances. Con-
ditions, she said, have been found to be
worse than ever before, and a definite
decision will be made this afternoon of
ways and means to alleviate the suf-
fering.
Social workers have found pitifuI cases
little children huddled together III dlngy
rooms with hardly any clothes, no shoes,
no stockings, Their confinement is spread
ing disease among them, and many OF
these little sufferers are fit subjects for
a hospital,
The campaign of the home relief COM
mittee will be carried into every sec
tlon of the city by means of proclama-
tion that is now in the hands of the print
er. This proclamation will explain why
so many men have been thrown out of
work as a result of the war, and ask
that every one contribute something, large
or small. Copies will be posted in con-
spIcuous places throughout the city.
Many sewing circles are being conducted
by the committee These committees
serve the double purpose of providing
work for poor women and clothing for
the poor. The cost of maintaining such
circles is about S10O a week. Word was
received yesterday by Mrs. Groome that
a group of sewers would be organized at
Touro Hall, 10th and Carpenter streets,
by Miss Helen Flelsher.
There are 1000 needy families in Phila-
delphla. If every voter in Philadelphia
would contribute one dollar, there would
be enough money to give every one of
these poor families the happiest year 1t
has ever known. members OF the commit
tee said today.
A brilliant audience is expected to
crowd the Metropolitan Opera House to-
night to hear the musical stars who have
offered their services free for the bene-
Mt of the various relief movements car
ried on by the Emergency Aid Committee.
From a social point of view the concert
will be highly interesting. The appear
anee OF Madame Sohumann-Heinke, AL
bert Cornfsld. Leopold GodOwsky and
Paul L. Ayer will bring society. out in
force.
