councils scattered all over the country
and established by the Council Of Ma
tional Defence.
The Labor Department realizes that
the problem implies good deal more
tran the conservation of Industry in
war time, and that it reaches out
deeply into the life of the nation. 1t
is probable this phase of the matter
viii require more definite assistance
from the Council OF National Defe nee
ir its country wide organization than
il yet has been called on 10 give.
The standards for women in industry
are to be identical with those issued
by General Crozier, as chief Of ord
nance for women in government en-
ploy, and are to follow the principles
laid down by the War Labor Board.
General Crozier established for gov
ernment women employees the eight
hour day, time and half for over
time, no night work, wage standard
equal to that for men IN the same
work, and he made provision for rest
and lunch periods and rest rooms.
On top of this, however, plans will
have to be made for community nur-
series and other facilities looking to-
ward the conservation Of children
whose mothers are forced into employ
ment. This end of the problem is ex-
pected to demand an entire programme

Bakers will no longer be required to
use 10 per cent of cornmeal in bakery
products, it was announced at the Fed
eral Food Board yesterday The re-
scindin2 of the order of June max
ing the use of cornmeal compulsory, is

Cornmeal will still remain on the
list Of official wheat hour substitutes,
but its use is optional, provided that

Cannot Change Rates

Special Dispatch to The T,r6ure)

ALBANY, July 12.-Only by an act
of the Legislature can the people of
New York City be forced to paw more
than the present SO-cent rate for gas.
his was determined to-day by the
Court OF Appeals in the case of the
Municipal Gas Company of Albany,
which sought to increase its present
rate of 81 on the ground that the en-
forced retention of that rate was CON
Nscatory
The company held that because of
the increased cost of labor and mate
rial the 81 rate did not give a proper
return on its investment. The Public
Service Commission denied the peti-
ton, and its decision was upheld by
the Appellate Division. When the ap-
peal was taken to the Court of Appeals
the Bronx Electric and Gas Company
and other gas corporations interviewed
and to-day's decision was made 70 ap-
ply to all gas rates fixed BY statute.

The Court OF Appeals decided that

Baby Taken as Mother Shops;
Found Her, Says Accused Woman
Mrs Rose Spiro Charged With Selling Daughter of Former
Friend From Perambulator in Front of
Store in Brooklyn

Baby Margaret Murray surveyed the
pink lining of her bassinet yesterday,
gurgled and dropped off into the frs,
good sleep she had had in twelve hours.
The night had been q hard one for
Margaret, ever since strange woman,
Mrs. Rose Spiro, had lifted her out Of
her perambulator while her mother was
shopping in Brooklyn and had carried
her off to q strange home, ut 288 Front
Street, Manhattan.
Margaret protested the moment she
awoke and found herself in a strange
womans arms. and she kept up her pro-
test all night--as much as thee
weeks baby is able to sacrifice sleep in
defence of its rights.
Mrs Spiro did the best she could to
make her little guest happy, even going
out and buying a brand new bottle for
her. but Margaret wept for her own
bottle and her own pink bassinet. She
could hear Daniel Spiro arguing with
his wife that she must give the baby
back.
II found her, and Pm going to keep
her." the woman kept muttering, while
Margaret redoubled her protests,
In the morning, however, Daniel Spiro
marched his young wife and ber fnd
to the Elizabeth Street police station,
and Margaret was given over to the
charge of Lieutenant Horrigan. The

her TO d severe cross-examinaton. while

mrs. Splro insisted that she had

ranslt Company, and upon the advice
OF woman she encountered in the sta
tion. had brought the baby at once to
the police station. She gave her ad-
Cress as 80 Catharinc Street, but when
detectives reported that no such person
was known at that address she became
confused.

arrived from Brooklyn and recognized
Margaret as her child

that Mrs. Spiro and Mrs. Murray used

they both lived in the same apartment

Straus Refuses to
Fight London on a
Fusion Platform
Tells Security League He
Will Not Appeal for
Jewish Support

Oscar S. StrauS announced yesterday
that he would not be fusion candi-
date for Congress in the 18th District
against Meyer London, Socialist mem
ber of Congress. The suggestion that
Mr.. Straus run on a fusion ticket was
made by the Congressional campaign
committee of the National Security
League in letters to Charles f. Muir
ply, leader of Tammany Hall, and Sam
uel S. Koenig, the Renubllcan leader of
Manhattan.
Mr.. Strauss reason for declining the
nomination was that if he ran in that
district, where the voters are largely
Jews, it would be in effect an appeal
lor support on sectarian grounds.
That, added Mr.. Straus. would be alb
horrent to his Americanism He would
accept fusion nomination in his own
district, the 18th. now represented BY
John f. Carew. Democrat, or in a dis
trict where the vote was not largely
Jewish, as in Meyer London's.
Mr. Straus made his reply to the
leagues proposal in the following let
ter to Charles d. Orth, chairman of
the leagues Congre essional campaign
committee:
II stated some time ago that would
be willing TO go to Congress and give
whatever services my past experience
IN national and international matters
had qualified me for, provided l would
receive the nomination not on partisan
lines but on purely patriotic lines from.

san issues in the coming Congressional
campaign and to postpone national pol
itlcs until after the winning of the

TO remain so unit! the war is ended.
II live in the 18th Congress Dis
trict, and while | would prefer to run
there. I would run in another district.
but not in the one YOU propose-where
the voters are largely, if not predon,i-
rantiy, Jewish. For me to go outside
of my home district into a district
where a large, if not predominant. ele-
ment of my coreligionists reside would
be in effect an appeal for support on
scctarian grounds. This is so abhor-
rent to my Americanism that would
under no circumstances accept the
nomination.
"lf l should go 10 Congress under
the condition / have named would

religion or party, and could and would
be Independent. will either 20 that

racial or religious class instead of to

grounds.
