Tho Hartford Chamber of Com merce, following the receipt of a number of complaints and inquiries, have called to the attention of the state police the activities of the American Rescue Workers, Inc, an organization with headquarters Tn Berlin, which, 1t is said, has been so- liciting funds from Hartford people. According to the information given out at tho chamber. representatives of this organization have been ask ing for funds to carry on their work. They have requested merchants es- pecially to contribute for Christmas dinners and claimed that their or ganiza tion maintains d home in Der lin for charitable purposes. In the report of Vice-president William II. Corbin of the chamber to the state police department it is stated that one of its agents visited Berlin and found no evidence that any helpful work is being done.
 A blotter issued by the society, states that the organization is a non sectarian one and is laboring for the widowed mothers and fatherless children, preaching the gospel and lifting up the fallen and working for God and humanity. Richard Jewell former captain of the Salvation Ar my, is said to be the head of the or ganization. Two months ago he and his wife and a daughter came tc Berlin and bought a. small farm or the Berlin turnpike about d mile north of the Meriden line.
 It is alleged that the organization has pracuced in other parts of the state and has no license to show The law requires that a license must be obtained from the welfare depart. ment. Mrs. Arthur D. Chaffee, a field agent of the department o1 public welfare. called upon Firs Selectman George B. Carter on Aug. ust g and asked for information re- garding Captain and Mrs. Jewell Mir. Carter said that he knew very little about them but he understood that they had a maternity home fol illegitimate children and that he wis. tied the place. feeling that in time these children might become public charges. Later Mrs. Chaffee visited the captain and reported that Mrs Jewell is evidently head of the house.
 They were asked if they had sent an agent to collect funds in Middle sex county without q license and ad' mitted that they had. it is said They had applied for a license bu it had been refused so they took the law into their own hands and con- tinucd their work. they said, accord ing to report This agent collected enough money to run the home fol a year, it is said.
