of unemployment as sot forth nt the

"Wo don't want to advortlso that
this city Is giving charity, for wo
do not want men flocking In hero
from tho outside," said Mr. Jennings
this morning. "I bollovo that wo enn

tho present, thouch I do bollovo thnt
It Is but v. llttlo whllo before wo will

To do this tho committee believed
tho best way would bo to find a
