COUNCIL CALLS
MASS MEETING
4 TO FIND WORK
Officials Of Community Service
League Are Anxious to Provide
Relief for Unemployed.

In order that some plan may be
devised to provide relief for the I'M
employed in Moline a public mass
meeting has been called Friday
Sept 16, in the city hall.
The meeting was planned last
evening by the executive commit
tee of the Moline community aerg-
ice council. All organizations in
the city and all public spirited citi-
zens are invited and urged to
attend.
The prospect OF winter with hun
dreds of Moline families unable to
provide for themselves is not very
aIluring say officials of the service
council. They state that they do
not want to be caught in the midst
of cold weather with an army of
unemployed suffering from lack of
food, fuel and clothing.
Many families have been able to
get along during the summer
months that will be dependent
upon charity this winter The gar
dens which have furnished food for
the unemployed are nearly ex-
hausted and the garments which
have sufficed for warmer days are
too thin for cold weather. Coal
will also soon be a necessity.
Despite the fact that it was cas-
Ter to obtain a living in the last
three months there have been over
rs families who have been largely
unable to provide the necessities
of life. Men and women behind the
to care for the unem-
ployed believe that this number
will jump to 100 within a short |
time.
''The condition is critical" said !
Secretary Breed of the community |
council today. Something must be |
done right away"
