ings. The Pittsburgh hearings will

ion that inmates of prisons can not

Manufacturing Commission in pick
ing or sewing rag stock for pri-
vate concern has been issued by the

be employed on war work, but solely

tions. In another opinion it is held

charge Dank1nB lnSIltuliois lOI SSi "
ices rendered prior to May 1 under

charge is to be made under the new
