VENDOR
OFFERS HARD
PROBLEM

Disabled street vendors are the
most difficult cases Of maladjust-
ment with which to deal, accord
ing to officials Of Washington
social agencies now engaged in Q
study Of the begging problem
here.
These social agencies stand
ready to assist disabled vendors
and to make it unnecessary for
them to impose on the generosity
Of the public.
Methods Of rehahiIitating beg
gars are discussed by Harlan w.
Gilmore, member Of the research
staff of the department Of Soci-
ology at Vanderbilt University, in
an article In the magazine, The
Family, entitled The Social Con-
troll of Begging" which has at
tracted much attention among
social workers here.
'sIn most cities where the beg
ging problem Is attacked, the
social agencies set up q definite
organization to coordinate the
work" says Mr.. Gilmore.
Through such an organization
the facilities of all the specialized
ORGANIZATIONS in the community
are made available for the cor
gection and rehabilitation Of
beggars.
Essentials Are Listed
Growing out Of the experience
which numerous cities have had
with these different plans Of con-
troll. there seem to be several
principles essential to any sue
cessfuI method Of social control:
First, police suppression must
be paralleled by adequate plans
for relief and rehabilitation. Beg
garS cannot be abolished by an
act Of fiat: police suppression
alone has never met with any
appreciable degree Of success.
Second, the social agencies
themselves must take the tnitia-
tive in securing police co-opera-
ton. At the present time at
least, public opinion cannot be
depended upon to produce the
constant pressure necessary for
effective control. The public
generally still believes that II
want is abolished the beggar win
not beg, and it lays the responsi-
bility for the elimination OF men
delaney at the door Of the social
service agencies.
Third, special mendicancy Off
GERS must be appointed and
charged with the fun RESPONSE
bility of enforcing the law. The
policeman on q regular beat can
not be depended upon. He knows
he is not expected to enforce
every law to the letter, and to
arrest q poor, helpless beggar' is
q task which he deteSts most.
At best police suppression can
only curb begging on the streets
in the down town section. it can
do little to control beggarS who
operate in stores, offices and
residential sections.
"And fourth, all programs Of
suppression and alienation must
be accompanied or preceded by
an educational campaign which
win encourage the public to di-
rect their funds 10 social agencies
rather than TO the individual beg
gars. As long rs the public gives
freely to Deggars little can be
done TO bring mendicanCy under
contrOI." !"

Of Fifth st. N. W., Eight months
ago she went to visit Mrs. w. n.

Although she Is bedridden, an

which most labor troubles start
each year. When she was six
years old her father, one Of the
Irish rebels against British DOM
nation, was captured and sen.
fenced to be executed.
Escaped To America
With seven others, he escaped
and fled to an American fishing
vessel, later going to New York.
She distinctly remembered the
day the Redcoats broke into her
home and even tore the chimney
down locking for yher father.
British soldiers marched by her
home with the heads of IriShmen
stuck on their bayonetS, she said.
A year later her father sent
for his family and settled in
Vermont, where he worked as 9
railroad construction laborer. She
was educated in q Montreal con-
vent.
In 1851 she married George
Jones at Memphis, TenA. Three
children born of this union died
In infancy. In 1867 Jones died.
Most noted strikes in which
she participated were the Penn
