REPORT OF OPERATING COST
JOLTS UNITED CHARITIES
The United Charities of Chicago is
again using its investigators to solicit a
funds for that organization. Women
armed with literature and statistics
showing how many people the U. C.
visited and helped are calling on the j
rich men of the city. They are look- -
ing for five -men who will donate
$5,000 each year to "the work."
E. Lies, sup't of the charities, re
cently stated before the City club that
the chanties ahd borrowed $30,000
this spring because its funds had run
short He also hinted that the bor
rowed fund might be considerably
larger before the end of the organ
ization's fiscal year in October.
During the past year hundreds of
people, who had formerly purchased
an easy conscience by contributing
each year, have withdrawn their do
nations. They claim that the TJ. C. is
not doing efficient work. They re
fuse to contribute to an organization
the operating expense of which is
higher than 60 per cent of the thou
sands of dollars collected yearly.
So the TJ. C. is sending out its in
vestigators, who are being paid for
investigating, so solicit denations for
"the poor."
