MRS. THOMAS TO CONTINUE
FIGHT FOR UNEMPLOYED
Ready to Get $1,000, 900 Loan for
City, She Says.

Mrs J. ID. Thomas. president Of the
Woman Suffrage Society Of Philadelphia,
announced her intention today to con-
tlnue her fight to ind work for the un-
employed OF this city.
She does not contemplate resigning
from the society because Of the lack Of
official support given to her in her in
tervlew with Mayor Blankenburg on No-
vember G, nor does she accuse the eNecu-
tive board OF her organization OF moral
weakness In making an official disavowal
Of participation In the affair.
Mrs Thomas said today:
II undertook the work alone and l as
sumo the entire responsibility ] do not
wish tho society to suffer for anything
do In my efforts to provide employment
for the 5000 men In this city who want
work, but who simply cannot find posi-
tlous.
Il have no intention of disseminating
my efforts. I have only begun, and
am going to do as much as one woman
can do"
When questioned upon her attitude to-
ward the Mayor, after the interview Of
last Friday, Mrs. Thomas replied:
81 sincerely trust the Mayor will uu.
derstand my position and realize | did
not wish to offend him. but II he is tied
hand and foot so he cannot use the
money In the city treasury for this work
he should force others TO make It avail
able. or. failing In this, should point out
those responsible for this condition and
let public opinion accomplish the work.
"If It should prove to be absolutely inn
possible for the city to procure sufficient
FUNDS to begin public improvements, l
would be willing to 20 to any wealthy
man in this city and ask him to lend
the city of Philadelphia sl,OOO,OOO to begin
operations with. and 1 am sure l could
name a dozen men who would be willing
to do so II they were convinced that the
city could not supply the funds itself.
"Onc thing, above all, is significant,
that although there Is S21Ol,OOO available
for expenditure on public Improvements
in the city Mt present, the page OF Direc-
tor Cookies recommendation to the Mayor
which provides for civic Improvement is
blank There is no city on the map where
such q condition exists, and that is what
| am fighting"

BIDS ON SNOW CONTRACTS
RANGE FROM 40 TO 69 CENTS
Contracts to be Awarded Despite Abb
sence of Funds.


sence of Funds.
Ten contractors put in bids today for
removing snow and ice from the city's
streets during November and December,
1914. and January and February and
March, 1915. Bids were submitted for
each of the 10 snow districts into which
the city is divided. Prices ranged from
40 to 6S cents n cubic yard, depending
upon the distance the snow is to be
hauled to the sewer inlets designated as
dumping places by the Highway Bureau.
Proposals will be scheduled and the con-
tracts awarded later.
Among the bidders were the McNichol
Paving and Construction Company, j..
and Joseph NJ McHugh, Peoples Broth
eTs, Inc. r. w. Anders, ]. Marks Con-
tracing Company, John Devlin, Jr., Rob-
ert Peoples, Jr, Earl Walker, and Ma
guire & Worren.
Last year contracts were not awarded
for snow removal, but by arrangement
of Chief Connell of the Highway Bureau,
contractors received from 70 to SO cents
per load of two cubic yards, according to
length of haul.
Present contracts will be awarded, al
though no funds are available for imme-
date payment Director Cooke has
urged that appropriations for snow re-
moval be made by Councils that the con-
tractors need not finance the work and
wait several months for payment. Such
action. the Director contends, would re-
duce the cost Of the snow removal.
