vuv rHxr opJEcr TO THE NEW LAw-How TO
pErTCr oLEoMARoARINK.
g.. ,.t.;l dealers who handle oleomargarine do not
...m to be in any hurry about taking out hoenses'
Yesterday was the fourth day that the law has been
s neraton vet out OF tho 500 known retailers oil
.hs article in the Second Revenue District Mr.
rr.dsams only sixty have thus far made application
tr ,,c.n.es and but forty have obtained them In
the First District only thirty retail licenses have been
.rrrd for and but one-thrd Of this number actually
rere issued up to last night There Is some excuse
for the small number in the First District since the
licenses did not arrive until Wednesday morning and
she figures really represent days work at Mr. Sui
livan's Office.
The great majority of the retail strongly object
to the law in general and in many particulars onc
requirement that they especially demur at is that
winch compe!s them designate every parcel OF oleo-
margarine thew sell with label the letters which
shalI bs at least quarter Of an inch in length. Hun
dreds of storekcepers who have been selling oeomar
garne years genuine butter see that lucrative
branch of their business thus as they think, irre
trieyably ruined Hence they declare that they Will
20 ont Of the business entirely Some OF them PROD
ably WILL being unaLle to pay the license lee OF sdS
hut Collector Fredsam estimates that AZ least ZUVO
In his district will still continue to handle the article
They have until December to pay the license lee
md many of them will wait until the last OF November
20 nav IL All who have taken out licenses by the
time named will prosecuted 10 the onited states
Courts. The deputy are already e s
deceive the Coy officials in regard 10 their
selling OF oleomargarine .,...u.-;.o
"a il is now made" said Mr. Friedsam yesterday,
and few can do IT, Not long ago submitted some 10
gentleman connected with the New OK stare parry
Commission, and he couldn't Tor the ne OF ni'p say
yrhe,her il was genuine batter not There Is how
ever simple test by which any one can tell Dutter,nc
when he gets it. Take piece OF 1t on one manu- Gi,
melt the latter while the oleomargaIine VIII renu,
hard have a deputy collector who formerly worked
In an oeomargarno factory and ne can detect tue
s,na Inv tasting it, Not many DO this, however,
and for that think some chemist In the city
should be designated by the department ior testing
the goods in "A scientific manner. think that IL VIII
be difficult for retail dealer TO deraud the Govern
ment and OF course. no manufacturer or wno'esaie
dealer would attempt to do so. These latter nave 10
turn,h ms with an abstract each month OF all those 10
whom thew have sold goods. This enables u.s. nae-
pcndeuty OF our own Investigations: 10 KNOW wn"o
retailers have pni chased oeomargarne To be sure
there will be all sorts of evusons OF the Law attempted
lust as there i'll regard to cigars ana ooacco
but as in regard to these they are bound to be found
out quickly. Ny own observations lead me 10 'hink
that the law w cause au increased sale OF oieo-
margarine in short time. Now that the sale OF Ii Is
cer sed people will look upon IT as iegtmatHeo 80 10
sneak and when they tnd out that 1t Is really pure
and wholesome they will buy 1t in preference TO
creamery butter especially when the latter sells as AT
present at 80 and 40 cents pound. Tor one should
certainly use it." $50
There are three manufacturers in this district, but
all of them have stopped making oleomargarine Tor ths
present, combining themselves entirely 10 producnt

has decided are not within the scope oil Tue Jaw. ~
