The Commissioners today granted hear
ing TO several parties engaged IN the
wholesale flour trade and in baking, to dis
cuss the Flour Inspection Law and the
practice of inspection as now conducted in
the District The hearing quickly develop
ed two sides TO the question and the ar
guments pro and con were interesting and
at times spirited.
Theodore J. Mayer was the first speaker
representing those in favor of inspection
and OF the present law He said that those
present whether flour merchants or bakers
were large receivers Of -four. He explained
that at the last session of Congress d law
was passed providing that each barrel,
half barrel. or sack should be inspected by
borings and searchings. and that each
package thus examined should be branded
etc. Mr. Mayer stated that the firm which
he represented had abided by the law He
said that the law prescribed that fee OF
cent a barrel should be paid to the in
spector which amounted to $50 on the
regulation carload
Mr. Mayer stated that what he object
ed to was that while his firm and others
had complied with the law other firms
had not. He said the practice led to
placing the firms who paid the inspee-
ton fees in a false light. Their flour
cost thega that much more. which he ex-
planned meant a good deal where COM
petition is as sharp as in Washington
Mr.. Mayer e9ntended that if the Law was
good, and he thought IL was, it should be
enforced, bnt il il was not good and not
necessary he asked that it might be re-
pealed.
Mr.. Mayer then argued that an inspee-
ton law was necessary, as flour is often
shipped IN cars that have recently been
used for carrying coal oil, wlkch he said
spoiled the -four. The product, he said
was sometimes adaIte-ated with corr
meal and zee -four, and it was some
times short weight He declared that
the inspection was necessary to insure
soundness, purity, and weight But the
main thing in his mind was the universal
enforcement of the law OF It's abolition
so that all the flour merchants might be
on the same footing.

to q place where love cannot comfort
