"Within three years the New York connecting
railroad which is being built by the Pennsylvania
Railroad through Brooklyn, connecting with the
New York, New Haven Hartford system, will be
completed. This will not only connect with the
great freight terminal system OF the Bush Ter
mnal Company, but will also tap Jamaica Bay,
where the United States government and the city
of New York have begun improvements to cost
many millions of dollars. These great improve
ments once completed will make Brooklyn the
most attractive manufacturing centre in the coun-
try.
And better still, there are over ten thousand
acres of unimproved land in Brooklyn, much OF
which is well located for manufacturing purposes

THE CASE OF A JEWISH WOMAN WITH
FIVE CHILDREN.
Manv CT these cases have come before the
committee. They are different from the usual
ones in that the unfortunates were in no way
responsible for their hard condition. A Jew
ish woman who could not speak a word OF
English went to the shop on East Broadway
and after working there for one day said that
she simply could not go home to her hve chill
dren unless she had enough money to buy them
some supper. This woman knew that sne
would receive no pay until the end OF her week
She asked if she could not be paid by the day
instead. as the so cents she earned would be
enough to keep her little ones from starvation
Her husband, she said, was tailor VINO, IKE

thrown cut of work because the Jewish shops
had suffered severely from hard times and

her expressions of gratitude were pitiable

1t is said that New York allows two million five
hundred thousand tons Of food and human waste
to go to garbage heaps and sewers and to pollute
the rivers, thus bringing disease to the inhabi-
tants of the city and cutting of q valuable food
supply. If this material were collected and spread
over the barren acres of New Jersey and Long
Island by way Of fertilizer these tracts might be
cultivated into garden spots o. the world

DR.. Kunz, "sent from the greatest industrial mu-
scum in the world the Deutsches Mus aum of
Munich showed the value Of gathering material
for museum educational purposes from all parts
of the world when they took back with them from
the United States drawings and plans of our

aqueduct. the barge canal, models OF our sky

braton, a place Of dignifed reception which we
now lack"
Several sites have been proposed for this won
derful group of buildings each having many good
points to recommend them, but the one most high
ly favored By the committee is that tract of land
now under water lying between Ninety-siXth and
10th Streets abutting on Riverside Drive. Over
and above the accessibility at this point, the
museum buildings would constitute ornamental
features for both Driveway and waterfront. The
land could be reclaimed by filing with rock and
earth taken from the new subway and various
other large excavations being conducted within
the city limits
"The use OF this site would prove Of service to
the residents of Jersey as well to New York

also suggested b. the committee that a spur of
the subway starting at Ninety-siXth Street could
bring visitors from three great districts of the
city The Bronx. Van Cortlandt Lower New York
and Brooklyn, right to the museums.
Feasible plans have been suggested for remov-
ing the New Yor,: Central tracks to the Jersey

THE SPECIAL TEACHER WHO WILL ACT AS
COOPERATING AGENT.

The great need of the public schools for the IN
dustrial museums is shown by the recent appoint
ment of a decent, or special teacher, VINO Will act
as cooperating agent between the present mu-
seums and the public schools. She will conduct
classes of thirty children through the different mu
seums of New York and Brooklyn, speaking on
any branch of education upon which those partc-
ular children are working, well as giving little
side talks upon the various exhibits as they make
the rounds.
This fills long felt want, regular teachers
have little time to devote to this peculiar side OF
the educational system, the object lessons Of
which cannot be too highly estimated in the train
ing OF young minds
OF course, the idea would be TO have the mu-
seums open in the evening and Sunday and all
holidays, with no charge for admission.
The idea has been advanced by members OF the
committee that large manufacturing enterprises
would probably vie with one another for the priv
lege of equipping the building or part Of the
building to be devoted to their particular indus
t. with the most complete machinery and ap-
purtenances, as an object lesson OF their prod
uct from its start to the present day efficiency,
and the library would furnish full data OF the
subject.
The fostering of domestic science will be con-
sdered in its best and highest meaning for the
encouragement and instruction of native as well as
the foreign women In our borders for after all,
home making is the highest art in the world. The
proper making of good homes lessons the evil
of divorce, as well of intemper-nce and pow
erty brought on by incompetence 1t will also
mean the making of more homes and will raise
the standard Of social and moral relations
These museums will be fitting monument not
only to the hundred years Of peace which we
have just rounded out, but TO a great industrial
people who wish 20 become proficient.
Il would be better to erect these buildings by way
of spending mo. ey in vocational training for
peace, rather than in the more elaborate prepara
ton for war.

to do with less.
"At the same time those who employed
have the consciousness of helping others in
their poverty, for everything that is made IN
these shops is given away to those who are
even more unfortunate than the workers them
selves This at once dignihes the work and
the workers-it takes away the sting Of direct
charity, which is so often repugnant to the
self-rcspecting workingman.
Charity is necessary in many instances, but

Most OF the unemployed have already
made substantial contributions toward the
wellbeing OF society through work faithfully
done when work was plentiful. They are not
to blame for the present Industrial depression.
The Mayors Committee on Unemployment
appeals to the public to sympathize with them
by at least helping to support the workshops
in which these unemployed may earn enough
to keep body and soul together and at the
same time m5intain their self-respect
Fifteen emergency relief workshops are
now being conducted in Manhattan and Brook

pointed by Mayor Mitchell, and their support
must come entirely from the men and women
in this city who believe in encouraging those
who are eager to help themselves

in onions, clapped the machinist en- the
shoulder and gave him the address OF the
Mayors Committee on Unemployment, whose
system of emergency workshops has enabled
thousands of self-respecting men and women
to keep from starvation by the unusual means
of doing charity work for others instead OF
accepting it themselves. In these shops work
is supplied from 10 a. m. to p. m. and at 10
cents an hour and meal is also given, put

tradesmen, clerks and others who have lost
their positions in the hard times born OF the
war. In the fifteen shops established you will
see these men and women doing carpentry,
sewing and weaving, making toys, cabinets
and baskets and winding bandages for the
Red Cross and the city hospitals.
The plan for the Emergency Workshops
originated with Henry Bruere, the City Cham
berlain He pointed out that the United States
has been content with rnakeshfts to deal with
New-York tribune., 1915-03-21

this chronic trouble, while in Europe ntelli-
gent efforts have been made to handle the
problem permanently. Mr. Bruere urged the
appointment of committee to arrange and
carry out programme for the city-not only
to collect facts regarding the extent and char
acter of unemployment in this unusual year,
but to bring about action by industrial au-
thorites and business men for its prevention
in the future
AS a result OF Mr.. Bruere's suggestion, the
Mayors committee was organized and condi-
tons were looked into. The Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company was called into the work
and a census of unemployment was secured.
It was found that conditions were fully as bad
as had been expected-even worse. Two hun
dred thousand more people were out of work
in New York in 1914 than in the previous
year. And this in spite of the fact that 1913
was cruel and bitter year in this respect!
And the condition OF those in need OF work
has been rendered more severe because num-
bers of concerns are running on part time.
