Social Workers Are Told of
Increasing Difficulties Fac
ing Transient Yofiths.
The wandering boy of the old ballad
has a modern mate whose homeless
plight is even more pathetic—a hitch
hiker who really must hike, and across
a country almost devoid of odd Jobs and
charity for the transient.
His numbers have grown alarmingly,
as the pinch of the depression Is felt
in homes everywhere, and Just now the
on-to-Washlngton Impetus of the bonus
march is making the Capital the focal
point for a problem National in scope.
Yet the open road has rarejy offered
such meager opportunity, motorists are
war* of giving lifts to strangers, cities
arc husbanding even temporary Jobs for
the local unemployed, and charity
agencies are taxed to the utmost by
purely local demands.
Old Shoes Are Evidence.
Piles of tattered shoes abandoned in
rest camps throughout the country bear
mute testimony to the hardships of
tramping the paved highways, and
many cities can offer only "primitive"
accommodations for the transient.
This was the picture given a group
of Washington social workers yesterday
at a meeting in the Burlington Hotel
called to consider the problem by the
local chapter of the Travelers Aid So
ciety.

It distinguishes you as a person of good taste

You really should be certain of the quality,

Relief and the Children's Bureau of
the Department of Labor, the National
Association of Travelers Aid Societies
has confirmed its own reports of vast
numbers of young people wandering
from community to community.
The President’s Committee, it was
explained, has Invited the society to
focus the attention of the public on
the transient youth problem to pro
vide accommodation and transportation
home for the wanderers, and to In
fluence the young people of Washington
against leaving home in search of work.
900 Register in Month.
Last month, the meeting was In
formed. the local bureau of the society,
1418 Eye street, regisered more than
900 transient youths and there are In
dications that the movement of bonus
marchers will bring at least twice that
many minors to the District during
June.
Dr. A. W. McMlllen of the Social Serv
ice Administration School, University
of Chicago, told the meeting that a
partially completed study of the prob
lem has convinced him of the need for
immediate action.
Boys leave home, Dr. McMlllen said,
because of the impression that the road
offers glowing adventure and a quick
means of travel by hitch-hiking, or be
cause they are too proud to live on
charity and know their absence would
mean one less mouth to Teed.
Motorists, however, have been fright
ened by banditry and stories of the
liability incurred by picking up free
passengers, and are refusing lifts. The

boy travelers must walk, or If they try
to hop a freight train, have no choice
but to climb aboard outside freight ter
minals while trains are In motion.
All terminals are thoroughly policed
these days, Dr. McMlllen said, and ho
boes must risk swinging on and off at
some point outside the terminals—an
added hazard which has cost untold
lives.
The slender charity resources of most
communities are already taxed to the
utmost, and the Imposition of outsiders
upon the local agencies Is resented.
The result, the speaker said, is that
transients must sleep In Jails, city halls
or accept the primitive conditions of
the tramp jungles.
While youths on the road today are
of a higher type than In the past, they
run the moral hazard of acquiring a
"get by” philosophy.
The meeting agreed to delegate a
committee to enlist agencies In the Dis
trict In an effort to provide suitable
accommodations for transient youths
and to urge local boys to remain at
home.
Efforts will be made to provide larger
recreational faculties, more Interesting
and practical school work and emer
gency activities of one type and another
as an added inducement for the youth
of Washington to remain at home.
Speakers said that young petmle of
all communities throughout the United
States will fare better at this time by
staying at home, where they are known
and where social agencies already have
assumed the responsibility of caring for
the needy. Employers give preference
to local applicants, It was pointed out,
and the home influence is most needed
in times of financial stress.
The committee will be appointed In
the near future to work with Com
munity Chest and Independent ag$ncl$s
for the establishment cf a central clear
ing or application bureau, a case work
staff, lodging and food faculties, and
to preach the "stay at home" gospel
locally. . _
