Dear Mr. Galloway:

Al per our telephone conversation
this morning, / am sending you som
facts under title "What is the Crisi:
in Welfare Work?v which you might
incorporate in your article
Striking changes have taken
place recently in the services required
of welfare agencies, in the amount OF
money available, and in the degree
to which the government (city, coun
ty, state. and nationally has taken re-
sponsibility for relief
"Yet human needs remain the
same Food, shelter, employment,
guidance, good home life, hospitals,
care Of the sick and aged, had to be
provided for thousands even in the
boom days Prosperity was never SO
universal in its effects as the de-
preston has been. and there were al
ways people VINO needed help of var
ious kind Social agencies were form
ed to provide the skilled service which
the public conscience demanded, be-
fore the depression occurred to focus
the spotlight sharply on bread and
coal.
GAS poverty increased rapidly e
the past few years, it was imperative
that the hungry be fed Private vel
fare funds undertook this first in
most instances, sometimes 1t the cost
of other essential service such as
public health and character guido nee.
While expenses for relief we're
mounting, contributors were suffer
ing losses and had to reduce their
gifts Contributions to private char
ties in 100 cities which had more than
held their own through 1882, have
since decreased 70 per ct because
Of the general lowering 81 incomes
and salaries.

"But these are not the only human

most communities, is relied upon to
provide other essentials OF civilized

ILLINOIS MINING
TOWNTOCELEBRATE
Christmas Season Recalls
Death of 81 in Coal Shaft
Last Year.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOWEAQUA, H., December 23.-
Time heals all wounds, and so this
mining community of Central Illinois
Monday will celebrate a vastly different
Christmas than that of 1882.
A year ago tonight 81 men, half of
the towns mining population, descended
into the mine workings in a holiday
spirit, prepared for the final digging
before Christmas. Among them was
he who was to have played Santa Claus
at the community Christmas party for
the children.
A few short hours later a great blast
entombed them.
There was no Christmas in Move
aqua in 1882. Weeping relatives main
tanned constant vigil at the shaft
opening in the vain hope that sol lie
Of the men might have sealed themselves
of from the blasts deadly effects, that
the frantically working rescue crews
possibly would find at least some Of the
81 alive.
81 Bodies Removed.
Several days later the 81 bodies were
removed; then mass rites, and Move
aqua, with its source of revenue, the
mine, closed. and half its male popu-
lation wiped out, went about its task
of rehabilitation.
Permission finally was received to re-
open the mine Those surviving the
disaster descended into the diggings
again in July and since have been put
ting the mine into shape to resume
hoisting coal.
The battle to reopen the mine has
been a grim one. With no money to
go on, survivors of the blast have
rowed materials, stretched credit and
lived on relief to provide themselves
with place to work.
Success was in sight early in No
vember when a squeeze in the shaft de-
layed operations more than month.
With the squeeze repaired, the two
surviving mine mules were sent down
week ago, and miners loaded the
first coal in year.
No Money for Christmas.
The first few days this week all OF
the coal hoisted was required for the
mine boilers. BY the middle of next
week, said ]. F. Hickman, mine man
dSer ana superintendent, MOweaQua
hoped to have two shifts of men total
ing so at work and coal ready for the
market.
So there is practically no money for
Christmas in Moweaqua, but to the
community that has battled adversity
the past year money is not q necessity
Christmas will be celebrated with q
spirit of Thanksgiving.
There will be a tree and treats on
Christmas for all the community s
children. From the fund raised last
year for the Christmas celebration that
never was held was left Sl2, and the
Woman's Club has taken the RESPONSE
bility Of seeing that the youngsters get
some little remembrance Monday.
Tomorrow, a year from the day of
one Of the greatest disasters in Illinois
mining history, community memorial
service for the 81 victims of the blast
will be held in the high school gym
nasium.
And although many hearts will be
heavy, Christmas on Monday. with
some things for the youngsters, the
mine ready to ship coal and the pros
poets of the community getting of re-
lief, will be vastly different from that
Of 1882.
