Show Transients Increasing Fast, Survey Reveals St. Louis. America's transient population pop-ulation is increasing at an alarming rate, a survey by G. M. Gwinner, director di-rector of the SL Louis bureau of homeless home-less men, indicates. Gwinner estimates that there are more than 500.000 men and boys drifting drift-ing about the country. Of these, more than 200.000 are boys under twenty years of age. he believes. Trains coming into St. Louis daily-bring daily-bring between 2.000 and 3.200 uninvited unin-vited guests, the survey, made in cooperation co-operation with railroad officials showed. Most of these move on in a day or two, Gwinner said. |
