TO AID FUND
Charity Support Pledged at
Central Labor Meeting.

Support of the Community Fund
through the medium of newspaper
advertising was voted by the Cen
trail Labor Union Monday night
after heated argument relative to
the value of the fund.
Charges of buck-passing, red tape,
and citation of instances in which
assistance to destitute families was
alleged to have been withheld were
fired at the Community Funo adj
miniStration in opposition to equally
fervent argument on the part Of
supporters of the fund led by John
Smith, president of the Central La
Dor Union. The motion actively to
support the fund was carried by enc
vote.
Delegates from BARRIERS local, No.
247, spoke in denial of report said
to have been circulated to the eff
feet that that organization opposed

FUND WORKERS
SOLICIT EARLY
CONTRIBUTIONS
Advance Campaign Begun
by Main Divisions of
Community Army.

Two main divisions of the COM
munity funo organization have be-
gun advance solicitations, and two
more will begin this week, an
nounces Walter c. Marmon, general
campaign chairman.
The women's army and the A div
sion are the two that are starting
work this week. The B division and
the branch house division began
work last week. 1t is customary, ex-
plains Marmon, for solicitations to
begin in advance Of the opening date
Of the campaign so that workers
may report subscriptions at the first
public meeting, Nov 9.
Generous Giving Urged
1.-TWO things must be accomplished
if Indianapolis is to reach the COM
munity fund goal in the forthcom-
ing campaign" Marmon says.
First, the city'S more fortunate citi-
zens must measure their giving by
the most generous givers am6ng
those OF comparable incomes. Sec
ond, the community fund must have
more subscribers than in previous
years.
Each year more citizens become
acquainted with the work of the
welfare agencies for which this
annual campaign is conducted, and
more citizens realize that the Com
munity Fund plan, now in operation
in 3l5 cities, is the cheapest, most
efficient plan yet devised for pro-
viding money to carry on social
service in a CITY,"
Cards showing names of all con-
tributors to the Community Fund
year ago have been placed in the
hands of division leaders for dis
tributior to the solicitors. In addi-
ton, all workers will be supplied
with Red Cross buttons to be given
to all fund subscribers. Red Cross
window cards will be carried by
members of the womens army SO
that each home and store from
which a subscription is received
may be placarded.
81 Agencies Share
The indianapolis chapter Of the
Red Cross, it is pointed out, receives
nearly 70 per cent of its support
from the Community Fund. In 1928
this allowance was $31, 500.
OF the thirty-seven agencies Shar-
ing in the common fund, fourteen
receive more than $4,000 a year;
thirteen receive amounts between
$4,000 and $4,000 per year, and the
balance receive sums less than
$4,000. The largest allowance is
made for the Family Welfare So
ciety, which received in 1928 a total
Of $162,939.

AL TO STRESS
FIGHT ON DRY
LAW IN EAST
Campaign viii Keep Its
DampneSS in Finish
Drive.
>. BY PAUL r.. MALLON
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

ALBANY, Oct. 23-Driving hard
on the wet centers of the east with
anti-prohibition speeches to the
fore, Governor Alfred E. Smiths
campaign today was on the TIRES
hold of 'whirlwind finish"
Eastern Democratic party leaders,
apprehenSive that the campaign has
lost its dampness, have been as
sured that the Democratic nominee
will aSsail prohibition in the indus
trial Republican Strongholds.
Senator David 1. Walsh of Massa-
chusettS and Thomas Spellacy, ma
tional committeeman from Con-
necticut, who visited Smith this
week, were urgent in their requests
that prohibition be brought out in
front.
Plans Busy Two Weeks
Foreign relations, federal govern
ment reorganization, tariff, and
labor are yet to be enlarged upon
in the territory that remains, but
they will be secondary in impor-
lance to the stresSing of modihca-
tons of the Volstead Act.
From Wednesday at 10 a. m. when
his train pulls out for Boston I'M
til the polls are closed two weeks
from tonight, the Democratic presi-
dental nominee will be pushing the
most intensive campaign of his
twenty-year carer, "the battle of
the Atlantic Seaboard."
The division of the 1873 electoral
votes in these eight vital states
from Maryland to Massachusetts,
probably will tell the tale of the
election.
With those states and even with
substantial majority of them,
Smith believes he can win.
Without them his cause is lost.
That is why he intends to spend
every precious moment of the final
drive speaking and touring through
Springfield, Worcester, Boston,
Providence, Hartford, Philadelphia,
Newark, Trenton, Baltimore, Will
mingtoh, Brooklyn and New York
City.
His plans officially have been an
nounced only as far as Boston
where he will parade Wednesday
afternoon and speak that night, but
a definite schedule for the other
cities is expected shortly.
Hears Hoover's Speech
Concentration of the final drive
in the east was Smiths own
strategy.
Next week his Republican OPP
ponent Hoover will be moving to-
ward the Pacific coast to cast his
vote. Senator Curtis, Republican
presidential candidate. who is
here today, also will be going west.
The east will be left for Smith to
play with.
The Governor indicated he would
take no official notice of Curtis in
vasion today of his adopted home
town. Curtis has declined to speak
at the MONDAY meeting which is be-
ing staged in his honor.
"I shall give him the key of the
city," Smith said, indicating the
presentation would be theoretical
rather than actual.
Smith listened in Monday night
at the New York speech of Hoover
and expects to incorporate his
answer to Hoover's arguments in the
speech he is to make at Boston. He
has said Hoover failed to answer
him on any issues he has proposed,
adding: Its too difficult to
ascertain what interests him."
