Transients Rush to Reach ID. C..
Before u. S. Hats Relief
2,756 Nomods already Here May Re-
main in Shelters, but Newcomers
Viii Be Turned A,Uay.

There will be no haven here after
minight tonight for transients seeking
food, shelter or work At that hour
the doors of Washington's II transient
shelters will be shut, f1guratively, to
wanderers who drift here hoping to
gain some economic foothold. The
2,756 transients already under Gov
ernment care here can stay, but public
relief will be refused newcomers.
Relief administration officials said
today they planned to give jobs by
November l to all employable tran
sients under the works program. On
that day transient camps will be con-
verted into orks-relief camps and
urban transient shelters will be shut
down. Those now at the camps will
be cared for until November /.
To Draw Subsistence Wage.
Instead of getting food, clothing,
shelter and 81 a week on relief,
transients will be put to work at
subsistence wage ranging from Sl9 to
s94 monthly, officials said All but
Z per cent of the registered transiants
are considered employable. More than
a quarter of million transients are
estimated to be registered in 375
camps and ITO urban shelters.
Supt. of Police Maj. Ernest w.
Brown hoped others of this class of
population had been Suff-
GENTLY forewarned. to realize there
would be no shelters for them here.
If they persist in coming they will face
arrest for panhandling and vagrancy,
he said today.
We've adopted policy of watch
ing and Swaiting," he said. I'VE hope
the news has gotten around by their
grapevine and otherwise that there's
no work and no shelter for them"
Street Expects Decline.
Elwood Street, director of welfare,
said transients had ample notice of
the mo admittance" rule which be-
comes effective tomorrow. He pre-
dicted the influx of these wanderers
would diminish sharply after today.
1t has been increasing In the past teW
days, rejecting the rush to get in
under the wire"
This is a difficult adjustment"
Street said, but it's quite clear that
this type of relief had to stop some
time. The great trouble is that pri-
vate agencies are not equipped to
handle these people"
Street hoped the burden on private
welfare organizations would be light
ened rapidly and perceptibly by alb
sorbtion of transients by Works Prog
ress and private jobs.
Any applying for admission to
transient lodge after this midnight
will be told to return to their own
communities. Those now registered
may not leave without forfeiting their
