CHARITY SOCIETY
FACING A CRISIS
Allied Bodies Meet Today
to Decide on Continuing
Work
FINANCIAL AH) NEEDED
Many Organizations - Sign Philadelphia's Pre-eminence
Statement Declaring Need of in Medical Profession Car
Continuing Efforts ried Abroad Witb.Troops
Whether the Society for Organizing
Charity will continue In operation was1
expected to be decided at a meeting this
afternoon.
Urgent need of financial support for
the organlratlon has precipitated a crisis
In the affairs of the organization and
representatives of all allied charitable
orders met at Witherspoon Halt to dis
cuss the possibilities of securing such
support.
.Special workers of the city virtually
are unanimous In their desire to see the
big organization continued. They pre
pared a statement for presentation at
the meeting. It reads:
"Social workers of Philadelphia ex
press their conviction that It would be a
disaster for the city If the 'Society forj
I Organizing Charity Is permitted to sus
pond its work. The Society for Organ
izing Charity has made Itself Indlspen-,
sable In dealing with the results of want
and misfortune and In meeting the needs,
of those whom It aids to become once
more self-supporting. If It mispends,
other agencies not equipped must at
tempt to take up Its burden. Conse
quently Its suspension would mean an
( Immediate Increase of suffering.
"But even more Important, we feel. Is
me progres it Has made In solving hu
man problems bejond those which may
be met by material relief. This con
stitutes one of the best promises for a
better future.
"We believe that the present crisis In
the nffalrs of the Society for Organizing
Charity constitutes a challenge to us,
and to all who are Interested In the Im
provement of social conditions, to every
man and woman able to give money or
service, nightly considered, It presents
a great opportunity to us, and especially
to those who heretofore hae Ignored
their share of responsibility, so to Im
prove and broaden the work that it will
be commensurate with the needs of the
community.
"Finally we wish to express our unani
mous opinion that the discontinuance of
the Society for Organizing Charity would
most seriously disorganize the social
service work of the entire city and that
there Is no avallablo substitute."
