URDAY VENING, PRIL 16 2’s Jazzbo Orch. -85¢ llt.er Tax White Poplin, Trico- | April 16.—An almost gen- | PAUPERISM CAUSED BY GIVING OF ALMS {So Says Prol. Scott of North- western University Chicaxzo April 16.—Experts in charity contend that the giving alms never reduces the num paupers, but on the contrary in- creases them, President Walter Dill Scott, of Northwestern University | says in a circular, just published by 'ht- school. “Individual members of our faculty have contributed largely to reducing | the poverty and in increasing the prosperity throughout an entire in- dustry. Some ten years ag one | member of our faculty became inter- ested in labor conditions in an in- dustry that had been infamous for | its sweatshops and its abuse and .p- presgion of labor. In that industry poverty reigned in the homes and bread lines were a regular occurrence. This professor co-operated in pro- ducing more harmonfous relations between employer and employes, n | ralsing the standards of the indus- in lifting the burden of poverty | from hundreds of thousands of men and women, and in making the in- | dustry eficient and profitable.” President Scott added that there were about 2556 disabled ex-soldiers at the univeérsity today. “In the or- | dinary treatment of disabled men.,” | he sald “we might expect many of | them to develop into paupers and be- | come objects of charity. These 253 | men are today in training and prob- ably every man will leave the uni- versity as a self supporting man and will become a useful citizen in his community. ““The appeal now being made in the name of relief for the hungry | is more insistent and more impelling than ever before, and I trust that all of have responded most gen- erously. he said. But because of this unusual post-war condition, we are likely to exaggerate the impor- tance of the mere giving of alms.” President Scott then told of how a “walking delegate” became president of a company. i “He was a radical and a disturber and believed that society owed him a living,” President Scott said. ‘‘He was a member of the ( r Makers' union, and after his election as a | ‘walking delegate’ entered one of the | night clasdes in our School of Com- merce to make himself more effective as a labor leader. “In that class he got a new con- ception of the relation of capital to | labor. His interest increased, and he was graduated in a diploma course of the school. “Today he is the president of a company and an employer of labor. “He is a progressive but not a radical. Instead of increasing the suffering produced by tix calling of strikes and the throwing of men out of employment, he is today a suc- cessful business man, adding to the prosperity of the community in which he lives. He is doing much to incul- cate good will between capital and labor, and thus to make possible a harmonious, effective and prosperous community."” ! | H | | try, BONAPARTE ANNIVERSARY Marshal Foch to Participate in 100 Year Celebration in Honor of Leader Paris,'April 16.—Marshal Foch will preside at the ceremony whech will take part at the Arc de Triomphe on May 5 to celebrate the 100th anniver- sary of the death of Napoleon Bona- parte.
