.CH|LDREN'S BUREAU
AIDS STRICKEN FAMILY
Cattle Poisoned, Home Burned
Down, Mother and Children
Needed Medical Care.

Examples of the good work being
carried on by the Children's Bureau Of
Delaware are almost Of daily occurrence.
The uost recent one being the aid given
an unfortunate family which SO far
as public interest is concerned is known
BY the name of Smith. A fine herd Of
cattle owned by the family and which
supplied them with good living were
poisoned and died and the MIX route
had to be given mp. In weeks time,
their pretty little bungalow. which was
still mortgageG, burned 10 the ground.
So they moved into the BAN, their liv-
ing and dining room adIoincd the horses
kgsaAle, and the bedroom was the wood
D6wd
As they lived in rural district where
no organization such as the Associated
Charities could help them, the case was
reported by an Interested neighbor TO the
ChiIdren's Bureau. Mr. Smith worked
three or four days week hauling, but
his sixteen year old boy could not find
auy work. Through the help Of the
Children Bureau he obtained q position
whereby he could assist his father with
rent. A very comfortable house nearby
was rented and the Smiths moved their
bits Of furniture which they had bought
from the second hand man into their new
home. Mrs Smith who needed medical
attention was sent TO the hospital for
an examination and necessary operation.
The twelve year old girl whom the
mother suspected Of having Tuberculosis
was examined and sent TO the Tuber-
culosis Dispensary regularly for treat
ment. The baby who had been sick for
months was examined and placed IN the
Delaware Hospital for treatment and
was practically cured before returning
home. The Smiths say that thanks tc
the Childrcn's Bureau they are now ~
happy as before their misfortune.

LABOR ORGANIZES FOR
HARDING SQUARE DEAL
Assurances From Union Men
Sent to Marion.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.--A nationwide
movement to assure a square deal" for
Presldent-elect Harding and his admin
istration from union labor was launched
to-day at meeting called by George
Hodge OF the Union Labor Advocate.
M. H. Madden of the Old Time
Printers Association was elected secre-
,ary The business of the day was
devoted to the preparation of a state
nlent which was sent to the President
elect.
The statement describes the movement
as an American League of Union Work
men to be formed TO eliminate "the
malign influence which has been hereto
fore exerted on the minds OF American
working1nen by those official oligarchs
who have for years misied the union
forces"
This leadership" according to the
statement, "has directed the toilers' in
dustrial ship into the whirlpool OF fall
lacy and corrupt politics represented in
the repudiated Democratic party
In a sentence, we are for America
first as against the advocacy OF every
tallacy from fat money to the grace ac-
ceptance of internationalism and the
League of Nations. We pledge to sup
port you in the serious task TO which
you have been assigned"

HARDING NOT HASTY
ON DISARMAMENT
President-Elect Agrees With
Root, and BOrah's Plea
Proves Ineffective.
WILSON STILL COULD ACT
Time Too Brief Pending New
Administrators Access to
Hold Conference.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. Jan. 23.-Sen-
ator Borah's statement taking issue
with Elihu Root who had urged post
ponement OF any disarmament confer
ences. 10 not calculated to alter Presi-
dent-elect IIarding's mind on the mat
ter Nor is Senator Borah's implied
willingness to agree to a postponement
In case Mr.. Harding should urge one
likely to draw from the latter any
statement prior TO his inauguration.
Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Root are in ac-
cord about the desirability of deferrine
any disarmament conferences until the
new Administration takes office. Mr..
Harding Is fully aware that IL is within
President Wilson's power to call dis
armament conference any time before
he quits office on March 4. But he
does not expect him to do so.
Discussing this just before he left
Marion, the suggestion was made 20
Mr. Harding that Mr.. Wilson would re-
frain from calling such a conference In
advance OF tho Inauguration. III so, that
would be the becoming thing 10 do.
Mr. Harding said.
Persons here who know something OF
what is in Mr.. Harding's mind in con-
nection with his foreign policy ana
such corollary problems as disarma-
ment do not expect him to be infiu-
enced by the Borah statement at this
time He has more pressing matters TO
take UP as soon as he returns from his
cruise down the coast 10 Miami
In any event. 1t is pointed out repre-
sentative conferences could hardly be
called and started to function much be-
fore the present Administration gives
way to the new one six weeks hence

visers Of that kind He had them in his
Cabinet. He sought their counsel from
the Senate and from private life. The
war helped TO dissipate this unwholesono

pie are entitled by right TO have their
public business administered by a train

acter the equal OF that which any private
enterprise can command. 1t Is the duty
of men in business life to provide such

Fire Destroys Harding
Headquarters in Marion

MARION, Ohio, Jan. 23.-The
residence of George B. Chris
tian. Jr., next door to the home
of President-elect Harding and
used by him as his headquarters,
was destroyed by fire this morn
ing. All campaign documents
stored in the building, although
somewhat damaged by water, are
believed to have been saved. The
desk at which the President-elect
met in conference with the "best
minds" of the country also was
removed.
The fire started from an over
heated furnace. AS soon as the
blaze was discovered firemen and
headquarters employees carried
out correspondence and records,
but a strong wind scattered the
papers in all directions. All of
them are thought to have been
recovered, however.
