PITTSBURGH HELP
HOMO ITS”
PITTSBURGH, March 12 —Preach
ers, bankers, educators and sociolo
gists prominent in this city today are
backing a movement to care for the
“down-and-out” which will place this
city on a par in its facilities to help
the unfortunate with Chicago, Boston,
St, Louis and other large cities.*
The plan as outlined contemplates
an institute at Market Street and
Third Avenue with George Trotter, of
Chicago, brother of “Mel” Trotter, of
Grand Rapids, as superintendent. The
old air building is now situated on
that corner and purchase of the struc
ture is called for by the plan. Either
remodelling of that into a modern set
tlement building or the construction
of a new building would follow.
The Union Mission would be aban
doned and merged with the new mis
sion, which will be controlled by the
Pittsburgh Presbytery. Food and
lodging will be afforded those who
can pay at small cost, while for those
completely “strapped’^ ^comfortable
quarters, food and employment in
workshops connected with the institu
tion will be given. One large room
will be set aside for religious ser
vices and a social center. Only the
amplification and carrying out of the
plan remain to be worked out.
