Began Labors February 8.

The committee, whose report is signed
by William Knowles Cooper chairman,
and George s. Wilson. secretary, began
its labors February 3. Its first step was
to appoint a case committee of expert
enced workers to deal directly with such
services. This committee consisted OF
Mrs. Walter S. Jfford. chairman; MRS.
Kate Waller Barrett, Mrs Neale OF the
Social Welfare League, Mrs }. +. 'oi-
ton and Mrs Elizabeth Hicks.
In order to offer every opportunity to
the women of the segregated district
to make their needs known. temporary
quarters were established in the District
previous to the signing of the bill by
the President Inmates were informed
of the location of the house by the
police through the cooperation of MAJ
Sylvester On account of the inmates
quickly scattering, either moving to
other sections or leaving the city. it
was found necessary TO keep the house
open only a few weeks.
The committee states that the results
of it's work are difficult to measure. On
account of the mode OF living and pre-
vious incomes of the persons dealt with
it was not easy to persuade them to take
up normal employment. the report points
out.
Many of them are untitled, mentally
and physically for such employment the
report continues The experience of
Washington has not been unlike that of
other cities where similar legislation has
been enacted
