RICH MAN'S CHARITY
CAPITALISTIC CLOAK,'
CONGRESSMAN SAYS
Representative Buchanan,
'Labor' Member of House,
Viciously Opposes Rocke
feller, Sage and Carnegie
Foundations.
300 FORM BREAD
LINE AND RECEIVE
FOOD AND SHELTER
Beggars, "Down and Outs"
and Proud Victims of Con
ditions Get Aid at Inas
much Mission.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Ilcprcsenta-tlvo
Buchanan, of Illinois, "labor" mem
ber of tho House, charged today that tho
foundations of Rockefeller. Sago 'and
Carnegie merely give "air of respectabil
ity" to what he considered a vicious cap
italistic sj stent.
Apropos of the proposed Investigation
Into these organizations, he said ho wan
opposed to thorn because they concen
trated hugo wealth and sought to pass
out charity rather than to glvo the
worktngman a chanco In life.
"Why does the Rockefeller Foundation
send food to Belgium," he said, "when
they ought to be sending It to Colorudo
to the miners? Why doesn't the Car
negie Foundation pension tha widows nnd
orphans of men In the employ of his
watered stock system?"
"We ought to haij, a complete lnv.es
tlgatlon of these foundations," said
Representative ICeatlng, of Colorado, an
other labor member. "If they aio 'on
the level' we ought to know It, and If
they're not we ought to know It. It
seems to me such concentrations of
wealth give an opportunity for a mas
ter mind to Influence a, nation's mind
for good or evil."
Mora than 300 men, some of them shuf
Ing, beaten men, and soma with gaunt,
starved faces, but heads held high and
sunken eyes that glared defiance, lined up
outsldo tho Inasmuch Mission before
dawn today to accept bread and hot cof
fee at tho expense, of Mrs. George W.
Chllds Drexel, of Uryn Mawr.
TJio bread Hno was tho first In the his
tory ot Philadelphia and, according to
the mission authorities, It Instantly Justi
fied Its existence and proed beyond
doubt that It Is a. necessity.
The windows of, tho Inasmuch Mission
and Its sidewalks and Moors are more
spick and qpan today than ever bofore
because, some of the men in the line were
not yet beaten. They nre "In hard luck,"
as they put It. Homo hud not eaten for
many hours and had spent months In
this and other cities seeking work, but
some unquenchable spirit still bunted hi
their weakened frames and they would
not be objects of charlt).
Tho mission officials asked no questions.
If a man in lino thrust out his chin and
defiantly demanded something to do to
cam the food offered him he was put to
work. Tha men who handed out the
bread and coffco aio experts In what
might bo called down-and-out psychology."

Stevedores were put to work' early this

big liner, whlcji was scheduled to sail
at 10 o'clock. At that hour there were
still hundreds of teels scattered about
the dock and It was said that the ship
could not get away until about 2 o'clock
this afternoon.

the coast defenses of England to retard
the Germans should they try to Invade
the English Isles.

bushels of grain and a largo consignment
of flour to Liverpool. There nre few
