MIAMI, Fla. Dee. 11.~—-llundrcds
of mothers with little children in
their arms and others clinging to
their hands surge into the Miami
station every day.
Many of them, bewildered ttnd
afraid. have come to meet husbands
who have sent tor them. They have
no addresses. They expected "him to
be at the train. "They have vlsionod
Miami as a Podunk Center where
the stationmsstcr would be sure to
know who Tom Jones is~espoclaily
it told that Tom is a cement mixer
or a brick layer.
Many women have not even told
their husbands on what train they
are arriving.
The Truvolers' Aid Society accepts
the burden. Miss Helen Sullivan.
secretary, has \vorkod'lll hours daily
tor months. She takes time to ent
but one meal a day. Blue circles
shadow her eyes, and one wonders
how long these social workers can
"stand the soft."
There are little girl runaways and
big girl runaways. One woman of
40 blithely declared herself "a little
runaway" from her husband.
The station fills with those wor-
ried women waiting while some one
else unravels the knot which their
stupidity. carelessness or lack oi
knowledge has tied.
At the height of the boom season
the station was filled all night. with
these women. Fifty cats were
crammed into a little euhby hole
which normally was used as on of~
rice for one worker.
An ancient. mmshnckly hotel
rents some of its rooms to tho Tra-
velcrs' Aid Society for $2 a night.
This helps. But. the community
chest allows the society only $4000
a year, and this sum was spent in
the one month of November in car-
ing for these distraught women.
Even when the women‘s husband
is found. the high cost of living us-
ually sweeps the little family into
trouble again. The wife must go to
work. nursing baby or no. (if she
can find work she‘s lucky.) And so
she leaves her baby nt the tiny nur-
scry.
This sprawling old building is
crowded to the very roof with lla-
hlcs and children under 7——patvns
of fortune. They are 'pltlful, bewil-
dered little creatures. crying for
"momma" and often becoming sick
in the unaccustomed climate.
