| tAlS very moment is pIONlulIlB maui
work in the city's parks and play
grounds and other public properties
which otherwise would not be done and
| for which there is no public appropri-
| alton. to over 1000 heads of families.
| These men work alternate weeks and
! receive pay for service to the community
! in lieu of charitable relief which other
wise they would have to seek
In addition over 100 women who
otherwise would be recipients Of charity
are sewing for charitable institutions
and organizations, receiving pay In re-
| turn for this service The number OF
| applicants for this made work for men
and women is steadily increasing 1t
is not work sufficiently attractive for
people to do 1t if there were any other
| work available"
| Mr.. Graham said applications had
! been received from many people who
never had been reduced to manual
| labor before. He said they had no
alternative unless they accept aims, be-
cause they are at the end of their re-
| sources.
Unemployment results in the great
est need our city has ever known" Mr..
Graham added 1T is in addition to
| the burden of continuous need which
our charities always have and probably
always will have due to sickness,
Widowhood, desertion, old age, death OF
parents of children, delinquency, way
Wardness and lack of proper guidance
of our youth. We must care for the
poor we always have with us as well as
for those we only have in time Of un-
| employment.
! JobIesS Relief Takes All.
IAN this means that the Community
Chest campaign goal Of s2.601 900 is a
minimum goal This sum is $1,000 900
more than we raised two years ago by
the Community Chest and s650O00
more than we raised last year Every
cent of the additional amount is due tc
the need created by unemployment in
Washington in these two years. The
rest of WaShingtons social work prob
lem has stood while the problem Of
unemployment has taken all the addl-
tional funds which could be raised and
will take all OF the additional funds
which can be raised this year.
The District of Columbia Committee
on Employment has a S25O,00O share
in the Community Chest budget for
the year 1892. This is a minimum
amount and more should be provided
if possible to provide work relief in
stead of direct relief TO those unem-
ployed persons who would be destitute
and dependent upon our charities If
it were not for this form of aid which
preserves the self-respect OF the re-
cipients while adding to the beauty
and permanent values Of our city.
Every one who has a job should
give all that he possibly can in thank
fulneSS for his own employment, to
help those who have no employment.
All Of those who have should share
with those who have not.
The District of Columbia Commit
tee on Employment is happy to be a
member of the Community Chest The
committee believes that the Community
Chest is the best method that yet has
been devised for financing the char
table, welfare and relief activities of
a modern city and that the Washing
ton Community Chest is one of the
most economically and effectively con-
Quoted in the United States. Those
who give to the Community Chest have
the assurance that their gift will be
economically handled and that it will
go to meet the greatest need which our
city has ever faced.
