ANTAGONIZED BY TRUST
Pure Food PrOber Mason Says He
Has Been Threatened.
BUT he IS STILL UNDIsMAYED,

Declares the Investigating Commits
sion VIII Frame a Bill Which VIII
Prevent the sale of Articles of Food
Under Fictitious Labels.
Chicago, June S.-Scnator Mason, of
the Pure Food commission, who left for
Washington today, made the following
positive statements last night:
This commission will prepare bill
compelling manufacturers of food pro-
ducts to market their goods for what
they are; for instance. chicory must
not be labeled coffee, but chicory.
I'VE will have in the bill provision
that will absolutely prohibit the intro
duction of deleterious substances i'll
food products, that which Is delete
rious to be left to the evidence sub
mitted by impartial scientific men.
Il propose to offer an amendment to
the revenue bill which will absolutely
prohibit the importation of food arti-
cles the sale of which is prohibited in
the country from which they are ex-
ported.
Il am no longer inclined to carry
on this investigation alone. The re-
sponsibility is too great, and do not
wish to be considered the whole COM
mission. as circumstances have forced
upon me of late. | will be slow about
holding another session of protracted
length unless one of my colleagues,
Senator Harris or Wetmore, is with
me- 1t can be readily understood why
this is so. l cannot act as | might
deem wisest when | am alone on the
commission, my decisions in such a
case being endangered by the sugges-
ton of personality, when in reality
this commission stands upon an alb
solutely impartial basis. There is one
concern in this city that has already
threatened to ruin me-"
What concern is THAR" the senator
was asked.
"The glucose trust" he answered,
and continued:
at is the old story of the -four bill.
l stood by the bill for unadulterated
-four, and have always believed l COM
PEELED its passage. At that time the
glucose men did everything in their
power to brighten me or in some other
way get me off the track of my pur-
pose. Why, they even went to my
SOL, VINO WIS newly WSu anu udu Only
a scant home for himself, and offered
him salary of $4,000 year to act
as attorney for them, making the i'm
piled condition that he should haul
me away from the support of the flour
bill The adulterators of food pro-
ducts are pursuing similar tactics to-
day, and that is why / am determined
that before the investigation proceeds
further fellow members of the COM
mission must step in and share the
burden of responsibility.
Senator Mason said further:
'It is not true that intend going to
New York from here. l shall go to
Washington and take my family to the
coast of Maine for the summer, and at
the end of three weeks hope to re-
new this investigation"
