|ROTARIANS HEARD
MISS POND AT NOON
Former State Director Ex-
plain Handicaps of I'M
employed at COnfab

Lack of information concerning
parts of the country where certain
shortages of work exists IL one of
the chief handicaps to the unem-
pIoyed person, Miss Meiicent Pond
told members of the Rotary club at
the luncheon meeting at The Elton
today.
Miss Pond was formerly state
director of the National Re-Em-
ployment Service.
People looking for work must
walk the streets with no definite
plan, trusting to luck to find the
positions they are seeking, she
said.
The national service, inaugural
ed last June, is the result of feel
ing on the part of the department
of labor for the need of network
of employment offices throughout
the country. Until the system was
begun only "a of the states had
employment Offices.

SHOE STRIKE .
NOT SETTLED

Haverhill, Mass, March 20 -
(UP)-Hope for an immediate
settlement of Haverhilrs shoe
strike, involving 5000 operatives
had been virtually abandoned to.
day.
Four locals, at mass-lneetings
last night, fatty rejected proposed
revisions in the new wage and
working agreement as submitted by
the United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union. Three other locals
accepted the proposals, but with
reservations which make concur
renee by the manufacturers ex-
tremely improbable.
Tomorrow the controversy Is to
be prese nted to the national labor
board at Washington.
The strike was called March S
after manufacturers had refused to
Sign an agreement whereby wages
would be increased in ratio to any
increase in the cost Of living.

More Welfare Island
Data To Be Revealed
Further Details Of Grafers to Be Disclosed
pal Employees Being Taken Over Goals
By sANDoR S. KLEIN

UNITED Press StafH Correspondent
New York, Mar. 2O-(UP)-Fur-
ther details were expected to be
added today to revelations OF
heartless exploitation of the aged.
feeble and crippled wards of the
city by municipal employees
charged with their safe-keeping.
The story, so far revealed by
pathetic, helpless residents OF the
welfare island home for the des-
titute before Commissioner of Ac-
sounts Paul Bianshard's inquiry,
concerned a racket SO disgraceful,
SO mean, that it might have been
a chapter out of Dickens Tale Of
AFFECT Misery.
Throughout the recital by the
inmate witnesses, one Of whom had
to be brought to the hearing in a
wheel-chair, the dominant theme
was the dread OF being buried In
a nameless grave in Potter's field.
This was the threat used to in
duce them to name officials Of the
home and members Of the latter's
families, as trustees of their bank
accounts and benefciaries of their
life insurance policies, it was
charged.
In addition, the officials and
their underlings, reaped small for
tnues by appropriating for them
selves salaries from the operation
of Community store, supposed
ly run for the inmates benefit.
This was the explanation drawn
from witnesses for the small profits
of the store, which yielded only
rs cents to each inmate on Christ
mas.
The high spot of the hearing
came just before adjournment to
this mornings session when Nan
NJ. Lawler, for IS years property
clerk of the home, admitted after
signing a waiver of immunity, that
she had appropriated $500 left
with her by aged inmates for safe
keeping" She followed this admis-
sion by rendering her resignation.
Miss Lawler, plump and prosper
Gus in appearance, said she had re-
stored $4,000, and according to
her attorney, has arranged COM
plete restitution.
Irving Ben Cooper, special coun-
sci to the department. of accounts
and former Chief aide to Samuel
Seabury in the city investigation,
developed that Louis j. McNally,
former superintendent, who van
ished with his wife two weeks ago,
had collected $4,000 in June, 1928.
as beneficiary of insurance taken
out by an inmate in November,
1927. Through other witnesses,
Cooper brought out that the SUI
perin.endent's wife, Margaret, their
three sons, Miss Lawlor and Mrs.
Sarah G. Smith, late overseer of
the women in the home, were
trustees of six savings accounts
aggregating more than $4,000.
The money automatically would
have reverted to the trustees when
the inmates died.

gress.
