Legislature to Seek 250000 for State Unemployed Aid
Senator Campbell drafted a bill, to be urgent upon the January session, to create a state administered fund of 250000 for unemployed relief. The plan pairs a governor led commission with city coordination to avoid duplication amid winter strains on urban relief. A separate report notes a mob raid on the Salvation Army distributing clothing, while another item mentions Turkish permits allowing Canadian missionaries to return home.
