WE BEG TO STAND CORRECT
ED on certain remarks made in this
column last week anent the relief
problem. Miss Ruth A. Bolton, execu-
tive secretary of the Social Service
League, while agreeing that the ques-
ton Of relief in this county is open
in several ways to adverse criticism,
points out that people generally criti-
else but fail to cooperate to correct
matters. Then, too many persons, con-
fuse the Social Service with other
agencies. Miss Bolton says:
Criticism has recently been level
led at the Social Service League re-
garding the work being done by the
League for the county. The content of
this criticism would seem to indicate
that there is considerable confusion
and misunderstanding of what the
League is actually doing. This is due
largely to the fact that there are in
the county other Social Agencies, and
the functions of these agencies are
constantly confused. Their functions,
are, however, quite different and dis
tinct from one another. There is no
duplication or overlapping.
"The Social Service League is act
ing temporarily for the county in ad-
ministering relief to two groups of
people: dependent and neglected
children who have had to be removed
from their own homes either temper
arily or permanently. People who
because of old age or physical or
mental disability, are unable to work
and to widows with young children
who cannot leave their homes to
work. The Social Service League does
not give relief to any family where
there is any person over sixteen years
of age who is physically and mentally
able to work.
"The Social Service League well
comes constructive criticism and
solicits the help of the community in
its work for the unfortunate citizens
of our county. One way in which you
can help is by bringing your ques-
tions and criticism to the office by
telephone, letter, or in person. Co.
operation of this kind will be sincere
ly appreciated. The Office is in the
Post Office Building, Rockville, tele-
phone Rockville IT."

NEW YORK, July 30 QN.S)
A drastic purge" of the commu.
nist-infested ranks of labor in the
strife-torn Pacific Coast shipping
industries was forecast today by
Elisha Hanson, counsel for Western
shipping interests, on arrival here
from Washington where the sim.
mering waterfront labor war Is
being brought to showdown.
Hanson predicted that for the
first time in the economic history
of the nation, the Government,
the American Federation of Labor
and an industry will join hands to
drive out trouble-making Commun-
lists and bar them from payrolls.
Hanson said:
II believe there will be united
efforts for a purge Of COmmun-
lists. 1t may mean a hell of a
scrap for q while, but I assured
the conference last night, in be-
half of the ship owners, that the
owners will deal with the A. F.
Of L., and the A. F. Of L., only,
If its leadership is capable of
carrying out its commitments"
Claim 80 Per Cent
Communists, who have long
concentrated on American mari
time and waterfront workers,
claim control of 80 per cent of
the labor in Pacific Coast ship
ping industries, Hanson said.
Other estimates say they consti.
tute only IS or 20 per cent.
1t is conceded on all sides their
influence is great on the Coast
and the Reds are blamed for the
125 fragrant violations of con-
tracts entered between labor and
owners after the San Francisco
general strike last year.
At present. despite provisions
against strikes in the contracts.
one ship, the Point Clear, is tied
up in San Francisco harbor, and
three are stranded in Vancouver
as a result of labor troubles.
