NEW YEAR CHEER
GIVEN NEEDY BY
CITY'S MISSIONS

Somewhere in southwest Washing
ton toda.- is a deserted mother with
three children to whom the New Year
has brought happiness for the first
time in many weeks.
About to be evicted with her chill
dren yesterday, without adequate
clothing, and no food-with nothing
but despair, the woman's plight was
discovered by agents of the Gospel
Mission. Today her rent is paid, food
is in the house, her three tots are re-
ceiving medical attention long need
ed, and warmth from fuel rovided is
bringing back the color in their
cheeks Bright and early this morn
ing an agent of the mission paid the
landlord. delivered the first coal she
had had since the cold spell set in.
supplied necessary food. and arranged
for a New Year dinner for this after
noon.
Only One of Many.
This is only one of many pIiful
cases that have come to the attention
of the city's missions and charitable
organizations during the suffering of
the cold wave.
All day yesterday representatives
of the Gospel Mission. the Genital
Union Mission, and the salvation
Army were succoring the poor and
destitute The work will be contin-
ued all day today.
The Central Union Mission took in
more than 200 persons suffering from
the cold and without food last night,
gave shelter in warm rooms for the
night and provided luncheon. Besides,
physicians and nurses were busy all
day visiting as many destitute sick
families unable to reach the mission.
Agents took baskets Of food and bags
of coal to the homes, and IN many
cases gave needed clothing and bed
ding. Needy cases not reached yes
tsrday will be cared for today as far
as possible.
]. =. Bennett, superintendent OF the
mission. told The Times today that
never in the history of his organiza-
ton has there been such suffering
among Washington's poor as that ex-
perienced in the last four days, and
never have the facilities OF the mis-
sion been taxed to the extent they
heve been to meet the demands
made upon them.
Gospel Mission Busy.
The same is true of the Gospel
Mission, called upon TO house close
to 500 poorly clad and starving suf-
fcrers last night. = special New
Year watch service, with steaming
coffee and wholesome food, was held
ct this mission from Z o'clock until
midnight last night Today a free
New Year dinner will be given to the
poor, who call at the mission at l
o'clock this afternoon
Superintendent Kline's other plans
0e5~ Today are to reach as many homes
with fuel as possible. He said today
that in many cases where they are
unable to provide coal, blankets and
bedding would alleviate suffering to
some extent Hundreds of persons
without fuel have insufficient bed
ding and lack even enough clothing
to go out in the street. The mission
Is trying today to get donations of
blankets and clothing to distribute.
The Salvation Army is devoting
most of its efforts to supplying coal
and wood TO the needy. Many fami-
lies were cared for in this regard
yesterday, and Salvation Army work.

SAVE A shovEL-FUtL DAILY

Tho Save A Shovel-full OF Coal
DailyS' campaign has fen started
throughout the United States BY the
Federal Fuel Administration at Wash
ington. 1t Is commended that 1t would
result in supplying the needed 50.0oo.-
600 tons of coal required above the pre-
sent production of the mines in the
United States
A little calculation for a state such
as Idaho will indicate just what this
saving amounts to. 1t Is estimated that
there are $4,000 coal consumers in the
State. If each of them saved a shovel
full a day (fve pounds) the annual
saving would be about $4,000 tons.
Those Of you who think of this for the
first time will probably wonder why
such an economy would not have been
one of the first things attempted by
the American people when the need
for conservation of fuel arose. 1t is
so very easily accomplished. being one
Of those things that do not require do
ing something, but the absence of ac-
ton.

ORIENTAL LABOR uNwIsE NOW

The following resolution of the Lin
coin council of defense relative to
Chinese labor has been layed before the
executive committee of the state coun-
ell of defense:
"'sssThat the Lincoln county
council endorses the plan suggest
| ed In other places to import Chin
ese labor for farm work. and that
| the secretary SO advise the state
chairman"
The subject OF the supply Of agricui-
turai labor for the next season is a SER
ious one and the feesing that there will
be a shortage Is growing more and
more acute Other communities beside
that in Lincoln county. though not in
so formal way have suggested a tenn
porary employment OF Chinese labor.
The state council of defense at its
session on Oct. 20 gave some attention
to the problem. and at a later date
the executive committee gave the mat
ter still further consideration.
Though keenly sensitive to the need
o. providing a labor supply in ample
time, yet in the opinion of the state
council of defense and its executive
committee, the importation of Oriental
labor especially for the coming season
is wholly out of the question. The
necessary steps to this end would In
yolve the consideration of the entire
problem of oriental immigration by the
state department diplomatic cores
pondence. the modification of treaties
with oriental nations, congressional
of the public policy to be
entered upon and a possible division !
Of our own people at time when I'M
tied action is of vital Importance. I'm !
less this mater should be an exception |
10 the rule, the next season would be |
AR past before the necessary red tape
would be unwound.
The proplem of Mexican labor is by
10 means difficult and may offer one
source of labor supply. The mobiliza-
ion of existing labor, including great
IT use of our youth and not forgetting
he help which woman labor may afford
s a reader resource. The compulsory
.ctivity Of the poolroom habitues. eth
It to work or to move on. will also help
strict enforcement of sabotage and
agrancy laws should be demanded.
The executive committee of the coun-
II OF defense can give no encourage
lent to movement for importation
( the Chinese, even as a temporary
leasure OF relief.

SOLICITATION OF FUNDS

The solicitation OF funds for patrio-
tic and phiIanthropic war purposes has
Increased to such an extent that It de-
mancs official supervision to prevent
wastefulness, overlapping. duplication
or fraud and therefore the council OF
National Defense recommends that tho
state councils Of defense take active
steps to supervise all such appeals to
the public for money. 1t has adopted
a resolution to that effect. and so notf-
hed the Idaho council. AS to the me-
thod Of supervision the council holds
the state councils can work out their
own plans to suit the conditions. A
number OF suggestions are submitted
TO the state council. which the national
council recommends may be followed.
