A meeting of the committee on the perma- nent orgenization of the Labor Exchange was held last night at the residence of Mr. A. 8. Sclomon, No. 1205 K street, for the pur- pose of exehanging views and comparin plans for future action. There were presen Judge Bryan, Consul General Hitz, R. D. Mussey, L. Emery, Mr. Klingle. Simon Wolf, and Wm. R. Smith; also, Prof. Brain- ard, of the Patent office; Samuel Kra- mer, of the Washington City Mission; Mrs. Chureh, of the Women’s Tem) 5 Mrs. Dr. Reed, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Whitney, of the East Washington Woman’s Ald Society, and Mrs. Chapin, and others. Mr. Solomons, as chairman of the commit- tee, presided. He remarked that the under- taking was a large ove, and one deserving their united efforts, for which purpose they bad met, and he called upon those present to freely express their views, keeping con- stanily belore them the one great object— charity, and excluding al! side issnes. Mr. Hitz bad collected much data which was pertinent to the subject of consideration which he would offer, and ont of the mass of views and experienc: s he bad no doubt some- thing permanent and satisfactory could be evolved. Mr. Wolf was chesen secretary. The chair called upon Mr. Hitz, who read from various printea reports and from manu- scripts of bis own upon the subject of labor exchange, showing that of all organized charities, those which providea REMUNFRATIVE EMPLOYMENT for the beneficiary is the most practical and successfu). His own ideas were to have a more comprehentive and co-o} perative sys- tem than any ether thus far establishcd in this Dirtrict. This is one of the most charita- ble commur ities In the country. The pri- » charities and those from associatious i probably amount annually to those from appropriations by Or ‘ery much is contr buted by individ- \d sccietfes of which little is known to the public, bot there is too much indis- criminate charity here. It should ba dis- carded for ma:y reasons. Mr. Hitz then Tead from: &@ plan, which he had prepared, the feature of which is to provide employment for the needy, which might be called “A Seciety for the Fmploy ment and Instru: of the Poor.” This plan contemplate president, secretary, treasurer, and counsellors and boart of direetors, the }: to he composed of both sexes.

There should be @ store established where the necessaries of life could be pur- chased at cost price by the poor. Then there should be a labor exchange, where both males and females can be set at work. Let the managers correspond with persons all over the country where labor is in demand, and then send the poor applicant who is willing towork. Then a committee on be- nevolent societies. The most effectual chari- ties in this District are those rendered through beneficial and benevolent organiz1- Uons—especially the Masons and Odd A We can ald them and they can aid us. Let us prepare to accommodate their needy applicants upon this COMPENSATED SYSTEM OF CHARITY, and they can in turn aid us. Letasystem be so organized that no one need beg—but be furnished with employment commensurate with the relief given. By this means the manhocd and woma hood is preserved, and no one feels degraded by receiving alms. All Street bergars could be sent to the Indus- trial home, and our streets be rid of this great uuisance. He alluied tothe Indus- trialhome in Philadelphia and its adrair- able workings as an example of what might be inaugurated here. A Aispensary where the poor sick can find medicine at cost, and medical advice and attendance, can be con- nected with the bome. A committee could be formed on instructions, to see that the poor children are comfortably clothe, so they may be sent to school. “A comm on outdoor Work, committee on fnance. one on reporis. At this home applicants meals she always be required todo some thing to earn them. A board of charities, to take charge of all public funds appropriate 1 in the Disirict is what is much neeicd. The object most to be desired now is to get rid. of the Idlers. We have a workhouse surrounded with marshes, which ought to become in Ume a beautifel garden instead of a reeking quagmire. This ean be done by a syst 2m of compulsory labor by the inmat~s of that in- stitution. which sball make aterm there to te dreaded by the wrongdoer and idler, and where they must give some return for their subsistence. For one he felt unwilling to contribute by way of taxation for the sup- port of @ fast-growing class in our midst who go through the world on the principle that the world owes them a living. He gave a list of the Congressional appro- priatiors for the various benevolent soc.eties or this District, and assumed the fact that the charitable associations, including Ma- sonic ledges, had done a8 much as Congress. Probabiy there is no community where there is more done for the poor than in this city. But what they want now is money, and a system of organized labor. WORK WILL KE FURNISHED. Mrs. Dr. ieed desired Mr. Hitz to inform them more in detail what work wouid be given applicants by the Industrial Home. Mr. Hitz replied that the committe: would find work for all. They would see that it was furnished, and those who would not work Willingly would be sent to the workhouse, = they would be compelled (o labor, or starve. Mrs. Dr. Reed cited several instances where as to give their labor in There ace, and were wiliing to work if they could get any sort of remune- Tative compen-ation. Sirs. Whitney said she knew a drauzhts- man who would be willing to labor for t! or forty cents per day. Shedid not quite understand bow a!! kind: of services couid he utilized for the benefit of the home. She supposed all would be set to work making all soris of things, which would be for sale for the benefit of the common fun @ grand auction was in conten, sale of the products of the labor exchar, Mr. RoI). Massey remarked that they ¢ fernish labor to send to the rural dis: where it was needed. He cited an insta where twenty laboring mem bad been called for at Warrenton, Va. Mr. L. 8. Emery, from the county, said he expected to hear a weil-matured ea sub- mitted, so that all could fall into it and go abead. The surahe had heard named was £10,008 to carry the enterprise on. This seemed a small sum to do what is contern- plated. What they want now is money, and to secure this co operation is needed. Lie thought the most ctical plan was to make arrangements with the District. government for the employment of laborerson the streets. Let all applicants for charity be SET TO WORK ON THE STREETS; when their day’s work is done let the over- seers give thein @ ticket certifying to what they have done and the compe:isation to be id; let these tiekets be presented tothe la- ustrial Home, or whatever it may be calied, and paid out of the charity fusd. The Dis- trict Commissioners have tools enough to employ all able-bodied mendicants. This plan had been proposed by him last year to the District Commissioners, wuo Were in favor of it. it is the quickest way to set the ballin motion. As to manufacturing arti- cles of merchandise for sale, he thougit this would work a hardship upon the different trades. The plan of sending surplus laborers to the rural districts was a goat one. Thou- sands haye been drawn to this District ia tumes when money and labor were flush; the public improvements here had drawn thou- Sands together who aze now idle, and they THnst be provided for. Rev. Sarme! Kramer, representing the Washington city mission, said there were very many ¥ow suffering in this District Who would not ask for aid; who are too proud to make their distress knowa. He had Fecently been intrasted with &250 to distrib- in bis investigations he had 'y families who had sold out al- Tost every article in their houses, rather than accept charity.

Third, What criminal laws should be enact- ed to operate in conjunction with this union? Ifthey cou'd find asolution to these ques- tions they would find the proj — point for united labor in the direction charity. He was opposed to inaugurating any system which will interfere with the charitable societies here.

In 1875 Congress had appro- priated $420,000 for this pu , and the pri- vate and public societies here have con- tributed no less than $200,000, all for charity. Now is it not possible to combine all this ur der a general head’? Mrs. Church said she thought the commit- tee most competent to answer these ques- tions. She had been connected with the Women’s Temperance Union of this District for some tire, and from her observation she conclnded that an ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure. THE MAIN SOURCE OF CRIME and want is intemperance. The liquor dealers here have paid into the District treasury the past year #51,000 for licenses. This was a small arnount in comparison with the amount of suffering and want they have entailed upon the community. Mrs. Chapin —— in favor of eneouraging temperance and discouraging the sale of liquor to the poor. br. Magruder, connected with the Centrai Di and also a re- igpensary and had done with yan said the whole story !s in a nutshell. The various plans discussed would all be usefui in arriving at conclusions. He did not know how far the temperance ques- tion should enter into their plan. He woull gO as far as any one to aid in the cause, as he Was practically a temperance man. He knew not the taste of liquor or tobacco. but this had no part in this matter now. They w: some means devised by which men can use the spade and shovel, and the poor, honest working men and women furnished with remunerative employment. His friend Mr. Hitz had colleted much vaiuable informa- tion, from whieh they cond find a way to set to work. From his observations in foreign countries he thought the most practieal tem- perance was where they drink the least water, and he had rather no temperance or anti-tobacco questions should arise. In reply to Gen. Mussey he would say that the same energy and concentration which insures a suecessful private business, would bring success to combined action, 1f all will do thelr duty. He thought all public chari- ues should be under a general head. Pri- vatecharities should continue without in- terference from this enterprise, and as to criminal laws to be passel he would give way to the judgment ¢ rs, as he was not able, either by experience or ‘years, to ofler opinions in this direction. THE GREAT MISTAK here Is that the District authorities have no legislative powers. The Commissioners should be clothed with more powers than they have. The need of this isoften felt. Now what shall they do? Toisis the ques They must first have means at once Let this be effected and the disposition of the money Would follow next. One thing more he would snggest to the board of managers: this was a committee to be chosen on tempo- rary loans. There is much suffering among the more respectable classes than he had ever known or even believed to be possible. Many of these persons have articles of value, upon which they would be glad to effect tempo. rary loans until they could be redeemed. Some provision should be made for them. He threw out this as @ suggestion, which they would find of much more importance than, perhaps, they are now aware, upou in- vestigation Alter considerable informal discussion the meeting at a late hour adjourned. A meeting of the finance committee will be = this evening, at 7 o'clock, at Willard all. * Judge es Retail Prices Center Market.
