Warden I. H. Mccarthy has received letter from Thomas E. Harrop, chair
 man strike committee of Arctic, R. L, stating the manner in which the money
 collected for relief work among the
 strikers in the Pawtuxet valley is spent
 He states that not one cent is given to the collectors for their services. The
 girls are in charge of collection com
 rnittee. It is the work of this commit- tee to ceaect money, food and clothing
 The money is turned over to the treas urer Of the strike committee who is ur- der s25,006 bonds. The food and cloth ing is turned in to the relief committee. While they are on the road the girls are in direct charge of the man who drives the conveyance i'll which they are traveiing. This man is given sum of money sufficient to cover his expenses and he must make returns to the chair
 man of the collection committee upon his return from each trip. He must have a receipted bill for all money spent. After collections are made il is
 the duty of the man in charge of the
 girls to seal all collection boxes The
 money in them is counted by the coliee- tion committee and turned over to the treasurer who gives his receipt for the same. A careful account is kept of these collections and the books can be seen by anyone desiring to see them at any time. This relief is distributed through thirteen restaurants that serve two meals
 day to the people who are affected by the strike, namely, strikers and their families. It is necessary in order to
 feed all the people properly, to insist
 upon everyone able to do so, eating at
 the restaurants, but when there are
 small children in the family or persons
 fe1 J rs1tx k.
 blanks redeemable at any store are is-
 sued to the heads of the families, no family receiving more than one blank
 per week. Each week the bills are audit ed by the board of trustees and uppn

 for the amount of the bill.
 There are members of the relief com-
 mittee in all sections of the valley. and
 any persons request for relief is inves- tigated before any is given. They also operate two shoe repairing shops and while the schools were in session made it point to see that the sehoolchildren got the first consideration. He says if there is any doubt in the mind of any caring for the people who are on strike they may write to the Red Cross or dls- trict nursing association
