The number of contributors to the| Associated Charities increased today to 2442, with the appeal for 10,000 members as yet scarcely under way. Milton E. Ailes. chairman of the joint finance committee of the Associated Charities and the Citizens' Relief As- | sociation, made public a Statement as to the needs of the organizations. The extra $20,000 which these or- ganizations require as compared with pre-war budgets are: $3.000 for spe- cial relief to designated families, $8.000 for emergent relief. such as food. fuel, clothing and the like, a total of $11.000 for relief, to which is added $9,000 to meet the increased demands of service and to enable the Associated Charities to retain the experienced workers by paying them living salaries. It is explained that one ma for any of the above purposes: that his gift will be used strictly as des ignated by him. The treasurer of the committee is Howard S.

This statement took me to the office of the society, where 1, found an exact record of what had been done for the family, and a full corroboration of the family's helpless condition. The result of my interview in the home and at the office of the Associated Charities was that 1 was able to report to Mr. Gage the exact facts, with the result that [ was was promptly reinstated by Mr. age's order. A few days later Carl Sehurz, a former cabinet officer, called upon Mr. Gage regarding a complaint that Mr. Schurz had received, that the civil service act in which he was so much interested was not being en- forced. “In answer Mr. Gage sent for my re- port showing that here was a man in the unclassified service whom he had restored when he found that he had been unjustly dismissed. Mr. Schurz lupon reading my report promptly said that he was entirely satisfied—that if the Secretary of the Treasury would do that for a_man not protected by civil service he was sure that the rights of those who had the protec- tion. were entirely safe in Mr. Gage's { hands. Timely Help Rendered. “The point T wish to make is that it was the work that the Associated Charities Fad done in behalf of thi mily that enabled me to make a prompt and favorable report which secured for the man immediate rein- statement and rendered the family as formerly entirely self-supporting. “My knowledge of the work of the Associated Charities has continued from that day to this, and I have never had occasion to change my opinion of the character of its service {to this community and to the many [ families whom it is called upon to | assist ; | i | | was in 1912 that I first became chairman of the joint finance com- ‘mittee of the Associated Charities and Citizens' Relief Association, and since that time I have been brought inti mately into touch with the finane operations of both organizations.
