POPULAR SUBSCRIPTIONS
TO RUN STRAUS PLANT
Laboratory to Be Kept Open Until
Congress Takes Definite
Action.

The straus laboratory is to be kept
open by popular subscription until Con-
gress at this session either provides funds
for its maintenance or declines to do so.
In the latter event It will be closed. This
program was recommended yesterday by
the Chamber of Commerce milk commit
tee to the city volunteer committee hav-
ing the matter in charge.
It was reported at the meeting that
prices had been investigated and 1t was
said that the distribution Is more eco
nomical through the laboratory. The pas
teurized product, II was declared. is the
best for babies. It is probable that milk
stations will be maintained for the dis
tribution Of modified and certified milk
for infant feeding.
1t was expected that the committee
would consider the recent proposal OF
George NJ. Oyster, jr.. to operate milk
stations and to provide free milk in cases
where the mothers were unable to pay
for it, but It was declared that the COM
mittee had only been asked by the citi.
zens' committee to investigate the ad-
visibility Of continuing the Straus plant
by popular subscription.
J. Louis Willige is the chairman Of
the committee and presided over the SEES
sion.
