Accepting as- their Inspiration the slogan Wa must Hoovetise our children and No mother's baby safe until tvary mother's baby Is safe." the Health Committee of the Mayor's Committee of Women on National Defense met yesterday afternoon at the City Hall and officially opened the Federal Children's Year, the object or which to aid in saving- the lives of chil dren under 5 years of age In the United States. Dr. S. Josephine Baker, Director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the Health Department, who acted as Chairman, announced that to New Tork City had been assumed the (ask of saving the lives of babies under the sge of 3 In the- coming year. The meeting waa attended by several hundred dele gates from ai large number of social, civic, and neighborhood organisations.

In outlining the scope of the work. Dr. Baker aald that there were four casualties the killed armies out of every 100 men engaged In the course of the year. li "In the United States. 12 babies out of every 100 Mle In the course of the year," ahe added.

"So that oneway of putting it would be to say trial it Is three- times safer to be a soldier in the trenches In this horrible war than to be a baby in tha cradle tn the United States. "It not only a necessity but a patriotic duty te see that our children are well cared for," ahe continued. Ve are spending our manhood in the war but we cannot afford to lose Ine next generation. The children of this generation will take up the affairs of the world in the periwd of reconstruction and carry It on. In Kuropo they have seen fit to save more babies and to devote more time stid money te child welfare work than to anything else except fighting." Dr.

Baker declared. With reference to malnutrition, shut asserted that st the present time but 1. .) quarts of milk were sold in the city, a decline of below that of last year. The children of thj noor hnve almost been compelled to forego the u.e of milk front their diet and they have been given wine, tea, and beer Instead," she added, in New York City the birth rate baa already gone down since we entered tha war. The infant death rate is increasing and undernourishment Is increasing.

VN are going through the same expeiietice of Europe only we are three years behind thoae countrW. but we have not learned our lesson. Ws are g-olng to need the wholehearted and vigorous saaistsnce of every woman In th eity. -We are going to hav volunteer doctors and we must have volunteer asalstanU to them, women who will work In the examination centres and who will do the follow-up work.

The Frdersl authorities will take no Internes away from the city hospitals or do anything to embarrass the city Health Department. Dr. Copeland aald. except in cases of stcfrj necessity.

Mrs. Laura. O. Cauble. Deputy Commissioner of Public Markets, called on the Health Commissioner yesterday, snd dtficussed with hint the problem of fur- nlshing the poor of the city with milk at low prices.

Dr. Copeland said that next week he would hold a conference with the city and State Commissioners of Food, aad with some farmers, and the question of the milk supply would be gone Into. About a week ago the man employed on tha new subways notified tha contractors that unless they received a S3 per cent. Increase In their wadrea by May IS they would seek work elsewhere. Tha men were asked to detsy action until the contractors could discuss the matter with the Mayor and the Public Service Commission, under the new law permitting tbe commission and the Board of Ealimate to abrogate present contracts and save the contractors from further loss due to Increased cuets of labor and mateiiala On Tuesday representatives of the contractors and the workmen discussed the matter with the commission, and later went to City Hal, to talk with the Mayor, but the Mayor refused to see tnem without a special appointment.

Yesterday tha contractors again railed upon the commission, and Acting Chairman Whitney wrote to the Hoard of Kstlmate, setting forth the need for haste if the l.uiu men employed on the aubwav were to continue the work. After referring lo the law permitting new arrangemenLa to be luade with contractors, the letter said: It seems Important that both the Hoard of Estimate and tha commission should st once declare whether tber propose to proceed under this law. It Is the opinion of the commission that such a declaration should bo made this time because both tha labor fores and the contractors should know what the attitude of these bodies will be. If relief la assured where It Is warranted by the facU It would undoubtedly stabilise the labor situation and help the contractors In fixing their policy. "The situation Is that the labor or have made a demand upon the commlaalon and the contractors for ths scale of wages now offered la slm liar llnea by the Federal Government In thla vicinity.

The declaration to the commlaalon bv the contractors associa tion is that unleaa relief is possible th. vim cannot be usld. On the other hand the officers of the labor unlona state that unless tne rnea are assured thst they will receive this scale It will be Impossible to bold them. To this extent, therefore, an has arisen which can be met only under the suthorlty granted by the Lorkwood law The commission suggrsu thst the Board of Estimate name a committee to confer with a similar committee of th commission to discuss the matter.
