Final article,


The source Of funds and how collected.
In previous chapters we have en-
deavored to show both the kind of work
performed by charity agencies and the
manner in which it is performed. But,
abominable though they be, they are
tremendously expensive. How funds are
sentially on voluntary subscriptions.
in the process, are intensely valuable
information.
Private charities are maintained es-
sentially on voluntary subscriptions.
The Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, for example, expended the
very modest sum of 100000 in 1914. 1t
receives number of bequests, to be
sure, but the bulk of its funds are se-
cured through subscriptions. To insure
the success Of the subscription drives,
the secretarial office is kept busy for
weeks at time collecting what is term
ed the most pathetic cases that come
to the Society's notice within the year.
Financial game is made of this precious
bait designed to open the hearts, or,
rather, the pockets of the prospective
subscribers.
Professional beggars would do well
indeed to take suggestions from these
highly trained technicians whose art
for bleeding is so superb that they find
no difficulty whatever in raising the
Istupenduous amounts, year in and year
out.
Here is a typical specimen of their
appeal for subscriptions: "Two of the
sweetest little girls were found by our
investigator, filthy, ragged, semi
starved. Father-lazy, good for-nothing,
will not work; mother backward, incom.
petent, unfit. Our Society had these
helpless little ones removed from their
homes and placed in nice, comfortable
home where they receive the best Of
care, motherly treatment, are conten-
ted and happy
Curious enough. the same bourgeoise
who, in advertising his own wares,
(himself) lies so flagrantly, seems to
be thrown off his guard, when another
shark resorts to the same despicabie
trick and, in reply to the artistically
| (woven) falsehoods contained in the ap-
peal, sends check for goodly sum.
Another method having the same OBJ
ject is the annual banquet given by the
Pres or Vice Pres. of the Organization.
These venerable gentleman invaribly
belong to social group which is con-
sidcred big trump from the standpoint
of financial vultures and ward-heelers.
For instance, the Pres. of the Society
for Prevention etc. ran for Lieuten-
ant-Governor of the State of Mass. in
1915. To receive an invitation from
such lofty quarters is deemed great
honor and valuable priveledge Gas

"Charity''

! to nail the audience and, 10 and be-
holdl the game works like magic and
the result is an extensive increase in
the treasury and IN appreciable gain
in membership.
This hypocracy, Misrepresentation,
nay, the most vulgar and cynical lies
are literally empasyed to raise funds
for the noble wsrk, the real essence Of
which we have already shown. Let us
see now how these, colossal amounts are
expended.
If overhead expenses constitute one
of the largest items in the cost of
commodity under capitalist production,
this law operates even more rigidly in
the charity factory. In fact there, it
is the only factor with such child-agen-
cies as the Society for Prevention etc.
For instance, svery cent expended by
this one agency in 1914, 10. 100000
was fer administration which, reduced
to Ineligible Language, means that the
whole amount was swallowed up in
rents, salaries (faney ones indeed for
the loyal, 1009S American workers. Of

it! Not one penny of 100000 was used
for relief, tiding over a workers. fa-
mily in distress. And in the face of this
capitalist canuflage, these agencies
have the audacity to call themselves
charity organizstionsf And yet the most
tragic part of all this, in our estimation,
is the fact that this contemplate pre- :
tense has been carried on for decades
and the very ones whom it so vitally
affects, those who are made the target
of this shameful lie and treacherous de-
sign do not intelligratly appreciate the
harm done to themselves, their class
AS already pointed out, the bourgeoi-
sic manifests it's class consciousness IN
the very machinery of organized chari-
ty. Putting under cover the wounds
produced by the capitalist system by
placing some of its victims now in an
insane asylums, nU' in prisons, now in
pauper-houses, the charitable agencies
accomplish two very important objects:
(1) remove from sight running sore,
which is, to say the least, offensive to
the highly developed sensibilties of the
cultured class; (3) emasculates, rend-
ers harmless an element which, driven
by misery, distress and having nothing
at stake may become too troublesome,
forsooth revolutionary, red, Bolshevik.
Such unpleasant prospects must at all
costs and hazards, be circumvented,
and, to give the dsvil his due, charity
work accompiishes il admirably, indeed
| in large majority af eases.
