T Wharf

An important innovation has recently been made by the T Wharf Society in its work among the sailors, by which free law counsel is offered to all who wish advice on their personal affairs. The plan grew out of a meeting held some months ago by the Boston Port and Seaman's Aid Society, at which various New York and Boston philanthropic associations came together to discuss new methods of work. Attention was called at the time to the common fleecing of sailors by unscrupulous lawyers, and with the view of remedying this abuse, the T Wharf Society secured the services of a competent and reputable lawyer, whom any sailor may consult as to the advisability of going to law. The plan has proved most successful.
