Boston, Seattle, st. Louis. Milwaukee

tiOnal cities, including Providence,
Cleveland, Memphis, Houston, Pitts
burgh and others, averaged contribu-
tiOns of S25O,O0O each.
The general trend in the National
War Fund campaign, according to Mr..
Vol, has not only been towards Il rise
in the AFL's standard of giving, but
towards a spread in the number of
labor contributors to local community
chests. This is shown by comparison Of
total results and of average per capita
contributions during the 1912 and 1913
campaigns.
A contribution of one million dollars
from labor in a single city had never
before been recorded in any relief
drive, Mr.. Vol pointed out, and very
few cities in 1912, had reached the
half-milliOn mark. In 1913, however,
New York City doubled and Chicago
quadrupled, their 1942 results. In the
case of others of the twenty-five cities
