PUBLIC WELFARE BUREAU LAUNCHES SCHEME
As CHARITY THAT Will ENRICH CITY

Do you happen to have lying

will you please send it to the bureau
of public welfare?
The bureau of public welfare was
created two years ago to silence the
cry of a hundred thousand unem-
ployed men for work and shelter and
food. While other cities made direct
appropriations to relieve the distress
of the surplus of labor - made the
surplus by the greed of the i've per
Chicago appropriated money to
establish a bureau to investigate the
cause of unemployment and a corps
of investigators lived very comforta-
bly, while they went around asking
impertinent questions of victims of
poverty, so used to being asked inn
pertinent questions by investigators
that they had become stoical. .
Apparently realizing that investiga-
ton wasn't going to silence the dis
tress cry very long, the department
established an employment bureau
last winter, where men who had cards
signed by their aldermen showing
they were residents of Chicago and
in good standing with the aldermen
were sent around to factories, blue
ticketed with the request that they
be given the first preference if there
were jobs. The head of the public well
fare bureau at that time, Mrs. Leo

out OF commission - it merely
changed hands and now it has new
commissioner, Mrs. Louise Osborne
Rowe, a young woman of less than
70, who obtains her knowledge of
the submerged tenth - quite the
proper way to describe the "other
haf'-on good authority" but has
actually not the slightest personal
knowledge of the economic situation
nor the caliber of migratory workers
TO whom she refers as ''bums,' which
is undoubtedly the word she has been
given on good authority"
Mrs. Rowe launched what seemed
to her and to the trust press a per-
tectly splendid idea, namely, that men
VINO do not get vouchers from alder
men and therefore must be migratory

word because l am on very friendly

to the Bridewell to a woodpile in back
of it and made to chop wood one-half
day for nights lodging in the mu-
n1cIpal lodging house and the food
that is given there, and if the men
were not willing to work for such
scab wages they were to be driven
from the city.
Mrs. Rowe quite glowed over the
idea when visited her, but she wasn't
glowing when l left l frankly be-:

women who have gone hungry, who
have fought the battle of the worker,
who understand the economic situa-
ton and who have left in their veins

more than fault that she has these,

No Compromise on Suit
For Properties Damaged
by Naudain St. Sewers

No compromise can be agreed upon
between the city and owners of the
properties which sunk into their own
foundations few years ago in Naudain
street when a sewer burst and the sur
rounding ground caved in, and it is
likely that the city will defend suits
for damages totaling more than
$4,000 at the next session of common
pleas court, April 12.
Four houses were seriously dam
aged. but 1t is understood that test
case will be made on the action begun
by c. j. Mahoney. He owns two of
the properties and has demanded
$4,000 The other is John NJ. Diener,
who wants $4,000. Howard S. Smith,
a tenant, has demanded $1,500 for
ruined furniture. The fourth COM
plainant has not yet filed a suit and it
is understood that he is awaiting the
result of the Mahoney case before pro-
ceeding.

Russians Show Friendly
Sentiments Toward Italy
BY Associated Press

Rome, April 2, 1925 A. M, via Paris,
April 8, Las A. M.-The Petrograd
Telegraph Agency. a semi-official or
ganization, has authorized its corre-
spondent here to issue the following
statement:
Both the Russian government and
public feel the most friendly senti-
ments toward Italy, fully approving
her aspirations for complete national
unity. as the largest realization of the
principles of nationality always has
been the fundamental aim of the Rus
sian foreign policy.
Besides recognizing the Importance
of the economic and strategic interests
of Italy in the Adriatic, Russia is will
ing to admit that certain Italian terri
torial as spirations are legitimate even
if not based upon the principle of ma
tionality. Russia sincerely wishes that
Italy should not urge excessive claims
and not create situation which later
might cause new international con-
fiict. The imperialistic attitude to-
wards the Adriatic attributed to Rus
sia is absurd and reports regarding it
evidently are due to German instiga-
ton"

IN BUKOWINA DISTRICT
Vienna Dispatches Say Renforcements We're Of No Avail
and That Cars Forces Were Badly Beaten; Gen.
Jofre Declares War Will Soon Come to an End;
British Steamer Lockwood Destroyed by Torpedo

The attitude of Russia concerning
ltaly's territorial aspirations is de-
finited in a semiofiiciaI announcement
from Petrograd, which assumed spe
cial significance because of Italys
desire to obtain the territory about the
mead of the Adriatic inhabited chiefly
by people of Italian stock which
would include the provinces of Trent
ana Trieste. Russia would not oppose
still further expansion, but warns
Italy not to press her claims to a point
which might bring on another con-
hict later. At the same time it is said,
that the imperialistic attitude towards
the Adriatic attributed to Russia is
absurd.
: The British embassy at Rome denies
"a report that Lord Rosebery or any
other person is going to Rome on a
special mission for Great Britain.
Important Engagement
Vienna reports assert that the re-
cent fighting in Bukowina has been
more important than the official COM
munications nave SHOWN. 1t is said
that the Russians who sent in rein
forcements in the hope of gaining a
decisive victory in Bukowina, have
been defeated and forced to retreat.
The British steamer Lockwood was
torpedoed last night off the coast of
DeVonshire, England This is the
sixth ship whose loss by torpedo of
mine has been reported in the last
two days The crew Of the Lockwood
was saved.
General Joffre the French COM
mander in chief, is quoted as predict
ing that the war will soon come to an
end, to the advantage fthe allies.

YOU MAY SOON HAVE
To WEAR ALL WHITE
Dye Supply Fails; Nation May
Have to Go in Phantom
Garb
MANY MAY LOSE JOBS
Local Manufacturers of Black
Goods Face Shutdown; Blame
Free Trade" Policy
MANY MAY LOSE JOBS

Local manufacturers of textile goods
and managers of dyeworks are now
facing the problem OF shutting down
their plants, unless the public takes
kindly to wearing of white socks, caus-
ing white umbrellas and is willing to
sport around in white fiannels.
The shortage of black dyestuffs, ow-
ing to the war. is the answer.
More than 500 men, it is estimated
in this vicinity will be thrown out of
employment il no sale is found for
white goods. 1t is now absolutely i'm
possible to import aniline dyes from
Germany because of the blockade.
In interviews this morning some of
the managers said they have enough
dyestuffs on hand to last from one to
two months. After that they will have
to either place the dyers at work on
the manufacture of white goods or let
them go.
Concerns that will be affected are:
The Moorhead Knitting Company,
which employs 140 persons; the New
Cumberland Knitting Company, 100;
the New Idea Hosiery Company, 100;
the Pennsylvania Dye and Bleach
Works, 80; and the Susquehanna
Woolen Company, 900.
Many Face Unemployment
The BlouSh Manufacturing Com
pany and the Harrisburg Silk Mill
will also be affected by a prolonged
shortage, and other smaller local con-
Germs will either be unable to secure
the necessary dyed goods or they will
be unable to have their products col
ored for the market.
In Philadelphia, alone. the shortage
will probably cause 100000 people to
be thrown out of work, and in the
United States the total is estimated
at 100000. Efforts will probably be
made by the State Department at
Washington to secure an arrangement
with the British government whereby
the blockade can be released enough
to permit the shipment of the
needed dye, but whether England will
consent is a question.
Wilson Is Blamed
This country is in a peculiar posi-
tion in regard to dyestuff that is not
paralleled by any other product. Ger
many has always produced the world S
supply of aniline dyes, which are made
by an expensive process. American
manufacturers could make the dyes
but they hesitate to send the money
to establish the manufacturing plants
unless they can be assured of tariff
protection for their wares after the
war, when the German supply will be
resumed and their expensive plants be
closed down. At ordinary times, they
say. they cannot compete with the low
German prices. Practically all the
local men interested in the dye bust
ness say it is all the fault of Presi-
dent Wilson in his "bullheaded" policy
of insisting on free trade.
