UNITED CHARITIES DEFENDED

To the Editor of the Day Book:
:. The fairness of your paper in rela-
ton to Chicago affairs and the COM
mon sense and sympathetic attitude
taken toward our industrial situation
made me a constant reader of your
paper In addition to myself, my lit
tie 7-year-old son cannot go without
the instructive lessons of Everett
True.
Now 1 appeal to your sense of fair
ness and justice in relation to social
agency, which to my understanding,
does a great deal of good to the poor
of Chicago. mean the United Char
tiles. In several articles that appear
ed from time to time in your paper,
opportunity has not been lost to dig
sarcasticaIy at the United Charities,
and thus, disappearing it, to di-
minish public sympathy toward its
work
must state beforehand that
II am not connected with the
United Charities as a paid employee.
2-That came in touch with the
Northwest Side district professionally
by doing some charity work for some
of their applicants.

spectacle, honest, hardWOrk1ng men
and women temporarily run down to
poverty by disease, unemployment,
death of one of the heads of the fam
lily, or some other misfortune
Those three classes are not the
product of the United Charities The
present industrial and social system
under which we are living has and is
creating them. So the Red Cross of
the world did not make the wars and
the unfortunate victims of the wars,
but was called out to life by neces-
sary immediate relief to the sufferers.
The United Charities is the Red Cross
administering to the victims of our
peaceful" social life. AS the Red
Cross, so the United Charities cannot
work without proper organization
and management. And that costs
money, and there is no use kicking
against the spending of it for efficient
help. Secondly, the Systematically
collected data and statistics of the
charity organizations helped states
and city legislation in favor of the
poor. Thirdly, as hundreds of appIi-
cants have passed through my hands
for the last two years, 1 had the OPP
portunity to learn of the kind humane
treatment the poor are getting from
the so-called visitors" or charity
workers. Many a time I heard poor
applicants calling their visitors IAN
gels" All these facts seem to be self
evident, but are not seen by the
''knocker" that contributes his venom
toward the charity organizations of
Chicago. There is another self-evi-
dent fact, that everyone of the three
mentioned classes of applicants has
to be handled differently, and that !,
mistakes are liable to be met with in I
the best conducted business. ',
