W. C. A. Bullding, Seventeenth and K streets, yesterday afternoon. Public relief organizations should take over some of the burdens now being borne by private agencies, especially in view of the present situation brought about by unemployment, Mr. Bane de- clared. At present 75 per cent of relief ork is done by public agencles, he de- Private Agencies Lauded. ‘While declaring “destitution” to be a Government problem, Mr. Bane said &bllc relief, in one sense, is bad, in at it establishes in many instances a status that remains for the family helped, while the private agency seeks to rehabilitate the family and to get it off the charity rolls. Walter S. Ufford, general secretary of the Associated Charities here, sald his organizaticn is spending 60 'per cent more for relief work than it spent a Year ago, adding there is no prospect for any decrease in the need for relief in sight. | Agencies to Co-Operate.
