Royal r. Graham in Juvenile Court here
to-day.
The committee was appointed in No

to an operation to prevent her from
bearing more chirldren. 1t was contended
the children were not receiving proper
care.
In explaining a statement made at the
November hearing to-day, Judge Graham
said:
"If were going to recommend sterili-
zation most certainly would not recon-
mend 1t alone on the wife, but also upon
the husband and upon each of the off,
spring proved to be predetermined or
dangerously defective"
The court ordered the Cossidentes
placed on probation. Judge Ben B. Lind

The women's consumers committee,
a nonpolitical organization. through
Mrs. Henry Muskowitz of New York.
executive secretary, filed a brief to-day
with the Senate Finance Committee
in opposition to the American valuation
plan as proposed in the Fordney tariff
bill pending before that body.
In the brief the women emphasize
their vital interest in tariff legislation,
pointing out their task is to make the
pay envelope fill the market basket.
Women, 1t Is stated. are great pur-
chasers. and they buy 90 per cent. of all
goods sold annually at American retail
stores and are the first to suffer from
unemployment and high prices.
Summarizing their objections to the
American valuation plan the women de-
clare that the avowed purpose of the
scheme is to protect American industry
but tits actual accomplishment will be
to intensity and prolong existing de-
preston, disrupt our domestic and
cripple foreign trade. limit American
manufacture to needs of the American
market alone and destroy the great and
important export trade on which the
prosperity OF American agriculture and
mining depend"
