NATHAN STRAUS DEADi FAMOUS FOR AIDING POOR M e r chant - Philanthropist Had Been in Failing Health tor Year. 3| United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Nathan rftraufe, 82, widely known philanthropist, merchant and leader of the American Jewry, died Sunday in his apartment at the Hotel San Remo of heart disease and high blood pressure. Mr. Strauss had been in failing health since the death of his wife

last May, and had been confined to bed for the last two weeks. Outstanding accomplishments of his long and noted career included the/establishment of pasteurized milk stations, where pasteurized milk was sold at below cost: his relief work during the panic year of 1893; his World

war work, which included the sending bf a shipload of food to Palestine in 1917, and his unnumbered donations to charities of every sort. Conducted Milk Crusade The crusade for pasteurized milk, started by Mr. Strauss as a result of the death of his small daughter from contaminated milk, has been called one of the great factors in cutting infant mortality. American and European health authorities have classed him as one of the great benefactors of the race. Mr. Strauss started in business as a member of L. Strauss & Son, importers of glassware and crockery. The firm was rim by the three brothers, Nathan, Oscar (who died on the Titantic disaster) and Isidor. In 1874 the firm opened a glass and crockery shop as a department of R. H. Mary's store, and from this start the Strauss family developed into a leading position among New York merchants. Impulsive and Temperamental Mr. Strauss was impulsive, temperamental, and had a certain strongheadedness. He gave to those charities which interested him, and at one time engaged in a controversy with other charitably inclined persons who objected to his use of the breadline. His impulsiveness wan illustrated by the way he took part in politics. In 1906 he became an enthusiastic champion of William Randolph Hearst, and tried to get Hearst elected Governor instead of Charles Evans Hughes. When members of Mayor Mitchel s cabinet offended him, he threw all ills influence into the fight to elect Mayor Hylan. He disliked Theodore Roosevelt and spoke against him, even Uiough Rooserelt appointed Oscar Strauss to a high political office. Disliked Roosevelt When Edward Wasserman, a stock broker, wrote Mr. Strauss a letter remonstrating against his speeches against Roosevelt, Mr. Strauss remembered the letter for three years, and blacked Wasserman’s eye when he met him. Funeral services for Mr. Strauss will be held Tuesday In Temple Emanu-El. Honorary pallbearers will include Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown, John Haynes Holmes, William Lyons Phelps. John Rockefeller Jr., Adrian La Forge. Adolph S. Ochs. George Foster Peabody, Felix Warburg. Julian W. Mack, Simon F. Rothschild Julius Rosenwald and Mayor James J. Walker. The services will be extremely simple. in accordance with Strauss’ wish. PROPOSE BILL ASKING REMOVAL OF PRISON l ist Side Civic Groups to Consider Action on Woman’s Institution.

LAW TO HALT GUN SALES IS DRAFTED

Steps to End Crime Wave Being Considered by City Officials. City and police officials today contemplated a series of steps to halt the crime wave that has resulted in the murder of two grocers, a detective and a city fireman, and the wounding of tw r o policemen. Herbert M. Spencer, assistant city attorney, will propose that the safety board support a law to govern firearms in the legislature at the board session Tuesday.

Dealers in weapons, including pawn shops, would be required to list all firearms, with sale of guns to persons not possessing permits, punishable with a jail sentence or fine. Charles Myers, safety board president, said the board will consider providing policemen with bulletproof vests. In adidtion the police radio was placed on a twenty-four hour basis today, replacing the sixteen-hour service. Four more substation cars will be equipped with radios. Judge Paul C. Wetter of municipal court said he will co-operate with the police department, dealing severely with “gun toters.” Anew police emergency car already has ben ordered by the safety board and is expected to be placed in operation in the next few days.

QUICK THINKING SAVED LIVES OF 20 IN CAVE-IN Hero of Tunnel Slide Wants to Resume Work at Once After Rescue. By United Press CAMP MITCHELL, Cal., Jan. 12. —Tired of playing checkers, Phil Saritz, one of the twenty men rescued from Mitchell tunnel • early Sunday, begged today to be allowed to retur nto work. Saritz, according to nineteen other survivors, was the real here of the tunnel cave-in that trapped them for thirty-three hours, at this little construction camp of the' Hetch Hetchy water project. He carelessly and somewhat gruffly brushed aside the compliments being paid him. “It’s all in the day s work,” he demurred. Except for Saritz. other survivors insisted, all of them might still be in the tunnel, their escape remote. In the first hour after thirty feet of the tunnel’s roof had caved in most of the men showed signs of panic. •Saritz, nearing middle age, tall and heavy and almost bald, took command and quieted them with words of reassurance, telling them “This is nothing compared with what I have gone out of.” When the slide started Welby Morgan had grabbed a long iron pipe, four inches in diameter, and run it through the pile of dirt that trapped the twenty men. Saritz determined that the pipe could be utilized to shout messages. He supervised the cutting of a water pipe and ordered fresh air pumped from the outside. Then he learned the rescue crews planned to dig out all the dirt in the tunnel, and advised a “dog tunnel” instead. This idea was followed and it saved many hours of work. Twentyfour hours later the “dog tunnel” was ready and Oscar Nelson slipped through tc the outside. His movements, started another slide and the crude supports gave away. At midnight repairs had been made and the other nineteen men slid out. It is said that women own 40 per cent of the wealth of the United States.

The other day Mrs. Ogden was examining some “worthless” stocks in an oil “cracking” company he had left her, and decided to see if the stocks had any value at all. She investigated—and shortly thereafter sold the stock for more than $8,000,000 to two big oil companies.

SOVIET IS DEFENDED Kalinin Assails ‘Dumping’ and Convict Labor Charges. By United Press MOSCOW, Jan. 12.—Charges that the Soviet uses enforced labor and dumps grain and merchandise in foreign markets were assailed as “senseless talk” by President Michael Kalinin at the final session of the Zik, or Soviet parliament. “It is ridiculous to speak of compulsory labor in a country where over 98 per cent of the national income goes to workers. In the United States, for example, the workers receive only 54 per cent of the national income,” said Kalinin, City Chemist Dismissed MARION, Ind., Jan. 12.—Inefficiency and insubordination were given as the reasons for asking the resignation of Ned Stuart, city water works chemist, who* refused to quit and was ousted by the public works board.

THOUSANDS 00 BACK TO JOBS IN CARPLANTS Only Old Employes Are Taken Back by Detroit Auto Builders. By United Press DETROIT, Jan. 12.—The hum of industry, muted in this city for months, was heard again today as thousands of men returned to work in automobile plants. Street cars, long idle, were dusted off and placed in use to care for the extra thousands who made their way to the River Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Company and other big centers of manufacture. Men, many out of work for months, sloshed along happily through the wet snow to take their places before employment office windows and receive assignment to various jobs. Only old employes were taken back. Others had been warned it would be needless to apply, but many joobless came to the plants anyway, hopeful some change might throw a job their way. Hundreds of these were turned away. At the Ford plant the force was boosted to 75,000 today, within 10,000 of normal. At the various Chevrolet plants more than 32,000 men were at work, with the number expected to reach 40,000 by the end of the month. Cadillac had a normal force of 6,000 at work, and 10,000 men were employed in the Hudson and Essex plants. Others also reported increased pay rolls. The upswing was felt outside of Swiftest, Easiest Way to End Bilious Spell When you neglect those first symptoms of constipation bad breath, coated tongue, listlessness, the whole system soon suffers.

For many this meant a chance to pay back bills, and to buy needed clothing and supplies. For some it was an opportunity to purchase groceries with cash, instead of with a welfare board food check. The salmon-canning industry' in Canada provides employment for 21,000.
