And the treasury OF the Associated Charities
mas nothing with which To supply their
needs until times grow better. In many
parts of the city there is sickness among
the poor. Nurses must visit them. medi-

"A Friend" Takes Up rife CudgcIs
for the Virginia Pilots

untary service which saved shipping
Sac."00.000 TO S5O.00c.G00 in dcmur-
rage. kept the ports open and pre-
vented lasting disaster to them and
prevented paralysis of all the rail-
roads coming into Hampton Roads
Had the pilots not kept the ships NOV
ing. the terminals and warehouses
would have been glutted in short
time and IT is apparent that the en-
tire rolling stock OF our railroads
would then have been tied up. For
This service the pilots received only
sufficient remuneration to cover the
cost OF getting to and from the veg
sells while most any amount could
have been gotten. The Virginin nj
lots were the only ones capable OF per-
forming this service (without tug
boats) ana they did II under n man
~ inspiration to protect the ports
from ruin. But a few weeks ago his
tory repeated itself in the case of the
engineers strike. when the pilots
again threw themselves into the
breach and kept the ports Of Hamp-
ton Roads open by docking and un-
docking vessels and thereby FASTENED
the termination OF the strike. The
entire history OF the Virginia pilots
bears out the fact that in every
sense they have been port builders
and port buffers.
The Virginia pilot. have always
hcen deeply interested in everything
rertaining TO the upbuilding Of the
Jrts. When Norfolk wanted a thirty
foot channel, the present president Of
the association was ma dc chairman of

project. Up TO that time about eleven

later when Norfolk and Newport
News wanted a thirty-fivc foot cha n
mel to the sea. the president of this
association was again made chairman
OF the joint river and harbor commit
tee OF Norfolk and Newport News.
The project, carrying $2,250,000, went
through In its entirety and the chan
nelway to Norfolk and Newport News
waR secured just In time to care for
the unusually large class Of vessels
which came during the war. But for
the expert handling of the case. our

lots have more than New York and
New Jersey combned--thcy having

1t has also been suggested that

in line. as the Virginia pilots have an
equipment OF which the State may be
