This does not include, of course, the American Red ' Cross, which has the support of ail busi- i , ness men. Few war charities, it is understood, are sanctioned by the state , " ; council of defense. I The members of the alliance also indorsed in-dorsed a revision of the by-laws, as pro- ! I" posed by Melvin H. Sowies, prohibiting I , ticket selling and solicitation for charity or other causes in stores and offices during dur-ing business hours. .
