Without bene tit of ouzzers or sec retaries, we the photographer and I found ourselves within a large map lined room and In the midst of an Informal Interview, almost before we knew It. Charlotte Carr, chief of New York City's emergency relief bureal. talked unhurriedly and readily about her . days as police-woman In a New York '. industrial area, secretary of labor In Pennsylvania, and problem -solver fori New York's half million relief cases.! Eager For New Work j But not about Hull House, to, which she goes In October. She does' not feel she knows enough about It to talk yet. - ; "Don't say I'm going to fill the shoes of Jane Adams," she admon ished. "No one could do that. I can. only hope to carry out the social j principles she Instituted. And that's goings to be a tough job." ' I asked: "Won't life be quieter at Hull House than here at the ERB?" j (Mtsa Crrr has wcr.tt-.Td two s--:..i years In the bureau, the target of aldermanlc charges that communists ; Influenced her relief-giving). ; "People," she responded, "make the atmosphere, don't you think? I cer- j talnly don't consider my move to Hull House a Btep toward retirement. There'll be plenty to work for and fight for. Hull House can be a tre mendous influence In Chicago, par ticularly In difficult labor situa tions." Knows Industry First-Hand Miss Carr 'a views on labor are close-ups. She saw the effects of long work ing hours on factory girls when she patrolled New York streets In an in dustrial area. "My Interest In In dustry bean when I saw those girls coming out of factories at all hours of the night, after working 12 or 14 hours. Then it was easy to compre hend problems of delinquency." tiiie saw the importance of organ ized labor when she was assistant employment manager of a New York concern where organized workers on one floor worked an eight-hour day. and unorganized workers on the floor above worked ten hours. "My belief lu trade unions Is an axiom," she said unqualifiedly. She worked In a factory. Sho vis ited factories in England. She han dled cases for the state Charities' Aid association, the New York Bur eau of Women In Industry, and the Pennsylvania Bureau for Women and Children. Gives Credit To Luck "I've never come to any conclu sion through (generalization," she said. "I don't have to. I've seen the thing too clearly in real life." Most remarkable of all was her first Job. Matron of an orphan asy lum Immediately after graduation from Vassar. ' But I won't t?U you where It was," she chuckled. Incidentally, she finished Vassar In three years. Not because she was bright, she insists, but because of super -boarding -school preparation. Specialized in economics, though with no great Intensity. "I didn't prepare myself particu larly for my career." she explained. "And most of it has been amazing i?ood luck.
