The two carloads, valued at $10,000, includes one carload of flour, and one of staples such as navy beans, rice, corn meal, salt pork, bacon, sugar and tinned goods. About 8,000 families share in the shipment which is intended to feed the strikers for two weeks. “Relief in carload lots is possible only through an intensification of re- lief activity which will enable us to respond adequately to the increasingly growing demands made on our com- mittee as the strike spreads and con- tinues,” Alfred Wagenknecht, relicf director stated. All contributions should be sent without delay to the National Miners’ Relief Committee, 611 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. Tel.
