A plan to form a city-wide committee, representative of all interests, private and public, to develop a plan of joint action for assisting the needy unemployed in this city during the Fall and Winter was adopted at a meeting of executives of family welfare and relief organizations, of agencies caring for the homeless and of the Welfare Council of New York City. The Welfare Council pointed out that the Emergency Employment Committee recently organized in New York limited its work to Manhattan and the Bronx and did not include within its scope Jewish relief and Catholic relief, nor relief of applicants to non-sectarian agencies in Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, where the need for aid is as great as in other boroughs.
