social work committee of the Civic
Club, at meeting OF that body at tho
Civic Club Yesterday revealed that
women in Philadelphia receiving aii
from the mothers" assistance fund are
in prccarious situations because of the
refusal of landlords to rent houses or
grant leases for more than two months
to widows and the slackening Of indus
tries that afforded employment for
women during the war.
The reports stated that if the Legis.
lature did not appropriate the entire

digcnt widowed mothers during tie
next two years the elimination Of fami-
lies in Philadelphia from benefits of
this fund would be necessary.
'Ths county has the largest waiting
