Woodward Serves at Somerville Junction 'I have brought a foundling to the doorstep of Boston.

What are you going to do about it? In this form of parable Urbain 3. Ledoux, for 11 years in the consular service of the United States, the inan who led the unemployed into Trinity Church and St Marks Church, New York, last Winter and now a human engineer, explained the idea back of the Church of the Unemploj ed which he will open next Sunday morning. In New York last Winter I created a bread line in order to engineer it out of existence. I secured employment, provided food and lodging for the men until they received their first money and became self supporting. Before I gathered the jobless together theyhad been walking the streets, scatterdu, homeless, without friends or money and with no place to find them.

I got them In one place and forced the city to realize their iexistence and their need by the fact of collecting them where the bread line could be seen anti the need of the men could be made visible. Last week I came to Boston, I Investigated conditions for four days. I found men who had not eaten for a week, or for two or three days. They were on the verge Of starvation, and Buffering. Then, as Is my habit, I did the thing that was to be done; I fed them and -after that I secured a nouse which they could call their own, where they could gather and which would be evident to the Laurin A.

Woodward of 128 Central st, Somerville, will complete tomorrow 50 years service as station agent at Som crvllle Junction on the Southern Division of the Boston Maine Railroad, a record for service which it is believed Is unsurpassed among station agents In New England. He began his long career railroading as a switchman on the Lexington t-anch at Somerville Center, as Somerville Junction station was first known.

Jucre E. Johnson announced th.s co-c -g 2 he found probable cause for hold-etr defendant. It was then only a flag station. Woodward had not been switchman long before he was appointed station master; tnis was in 1S71. It was then the Boston, Lowell Nashua Railroad, with Gen Brark as president and John B.

Winslow as superintendent. Somerville was then a farming town; there was no street railroad, but a lire of omnibuses ran from the top of Winter Hill to Charles own. Mr Woodward resided lit the old station. and there his son, Guy S. Woodward, was born.

The latter has been assistant station master with his father since September, 1892. When the senior Woodward began his experience as station master his rent, fuel, gas and water were provided him free, in addition to his salary. HU first months receipts for tickets totaled $34.37, but later they increased to $300. For several years he served as switchman as well as station agent, being obliged to run quickly from one switch to another and work with great speed and agility. When he first became station agent he had an 18-hour-a-day Job.

Now he opens the station every morning at 4-50 and works for eight hours, when he is relieved by his son. In all his 50 years experience he says that only three times has he flailed to open the station in time for the first train, oversleeping upon these three occasions. Not once has this occurred in the past 23 years, and although he has become a man of habit In early rising, says he always sets his alarm clock at night for fear he may oversleep. He has had few vacations, only two weeks in the past 10 years. Mt Woodward was bom In Land-grove, Vt.

May 24. 1842, and lived In Vermont until 23 years of age, when he tame to this State, living -In Lowell seven or eight years. His wife died in 1S78. After the present station was built in 189S, he built his present home at 126 Central st.

He referred with the warmest praise to the Uncle Dudley editorial In yesterdays Globe on Human Engineering, which was 'based on the efforts of Herbert Hoover to relieve unemployment, and declared that that was his profession. That editorial went to the heart of the matter, he said, it was written by a man who understands and who must have read this book, Mr Ledoux took out "Manhood of Humanity by Alfred Korzybskl, a book on the profession of human engineering. It is a book 1 carry with me.

It is a wonderful work on something little appreciated. Mr Ledoux had not Intended- to allow his Identity to be revealed as he wanted to attract attention to the men and their difficulties and not to his work for them but I see I was wrong, he said, Instead of calling attention to the meg I really created a misapprehension that this was some kind of a fake. His Idea, to condense it briefly, is this: Almost any number of men may be out of work and In actual want in a big citv without calling any attention to themselves because they are so scattered that no one is aware of their existence, or their numbers, except as stray panhandlers make their touches. But If a bread line Is formed and the unfortunate are concentrated In one place where the eyes of the community cannot fail to see, then attention to their plight is forced and some action must follow. It is a direct appeal to the conscience.

That is the explanation of the parable. We start without anything, said Mr Ledoux. We do not handle funds, we do not try to Interest institutions but tve will fathom the depth of the conscience of Boston. Many ask me, Have you seen the Mayor, cr the heads of the churches or the charitable organizations? But I say, what, to feed man? why should I see the Mayor, or any one else simply to feede the hungry? People Never Fail, He Says I comply with the laws In regard to the number of men I can accommodate on my premises, the fire regulations and so forth. Why should I bother with the Mayor, or with political committees or social committees and red tape.

It can best be done by doing it, not by talking about it. If any institution does become interested in Mr Ledoux work he Is always glad to have its help, he said, but not its money. If it wishes to send a bag of beans, for Instance, well and gool; the men get the beans. Yesterday a man appeared at the house at 31 Howard at and gave Mr Ledoux the shades for the windows for the building. It is faith that other people will respond to the appeal of suffering which is back of Mr Ledoux and never, said he, have people failed to answer this appeal.

He told of his life while In the consular service at Three Rivers, Que; Bordeaux, France; Prague, Austria, and Santos, Brazil, and how he started on his career as human engineer by his work on the World Peace Foundation, for which the late Edwin Ginn of Boston contributed of his work on the plan to create a world city which would be to the Nations of the world what Washington is to the UnitedTStates and finally of his labors on the Bowery of New York during the war as employment agent for the War Department, later with the Community Service then as mentor of the Stepping Stone, an institution similar to the one he Is now starting in Boston. He had complete charge, he said, of handling the accommodations for the soldiers going through New York in war time and installed more than 10.000 beds in the armories and other buildings in New York for them. During the first of 1918 when workmen were scarce he daily shipped tram loads of men out of New York, he said, to the fields where their labor was needed by the Government. Most of them n8 said went to the West Virginia coal mines or to Government property, where they could get no liquor and ire under a patriotic stimulus so that when they returned they were better men than before. He was also lntrumental In promoting the Worll Congress of the Chambers of Commerce held in Boston about 10 years ago.

Pie earned letters from A. Filene, Edwin F. Gay, at that time dean of fco Harvard University Sch ol of "Business Administration, and from John H. Fahey and from David Star-Jordan. Tells of His Assistants Mr Ledoux stated that the questions about his assistants were easily answered.

My chief assistant Is a man whose name I hope is Ralph Jones. He says it is and I believe him, but I know-nothing about him and I never saw him until a few days ago. He Blept next to me on the slope of the Common in front of the State House. In the morning I picked him out as a capable, conscientious worker, and such he nas proved to be. It is true my daughter is married to Stuart Robson.

She is not masquerading here as a mysterious Miss Anna Jones. This Miss Jones turned-up a few days ago after seeing the name of Ralph Jones in the papers, saying that she was his sister. My daughter Lucille and I went to Green Acres, Elliot, Me, last Sunday, where I was to lecture. Some of the papers printed stories that I had gone to Buffalo with this Miss Jones. Please say that I am not In the habit of traveling around the country with strange young ladies.

That would have ruined anything I might hope to I certainly did not go to Buffalo or anywhere else with Miss Jones and know nothing about her. Mr Ledoux said the only services at the Church of the Unemployed, as the house at 31 Howard st has been christened, and he has accepted the name, would be giving substantial food. Mr Ledoux Is a native of Biddeford, Me. II Is married. He was born in St Helene, Que, and is of French descent.

When setlll very young he moved to Biddeford.

Preparations have been made during the Summer for receiving the usual Nation wide and world wide attendance. The Conservatory year-book, the final edition of which appeared about Aug 1, gives a record of many changes in the curriculum and requirements for grad uatlon.

Most of these modifications, says Wallace Goodrich, dean of the faculty, have been effected with a view to rendering the requirements more elastic and better adapted than before to the needs of individual students, without In any way abandoning tne fundamentals of a musical education. The attendance of etudents last season is shown by the Conservatory yearbook to have been 8576, the largest In the institution's history. The next largest attendance, that of 1919-20, was 3339.
