Treasury methods in strike relief and district distribution
The treasurer explains how strike relief funds are allocated via 22 districts and 2,700 locals. Provisions are distributed to striking workers by family size, with two delivery methods depending on local conditions. During the anthracite strike orders specified quantities and prices, signed by issuers and grocers, then cashed weekly. Where company stores exist, open market purchases occur by the carload through our own commissaries.
