CoLoRING oLEoMARGARINE.
A Question of the Use of Palm Oil
Considered.

Whether palm Oil maybe used in the man
ufacture OF oleomargarine-theu use Of the
Oil coloring the product slightly yellow-is
a question which was taken up today by
Commissioner Yerkes of the internal rev.
enue bureau Of the government
The enforcement Of the oleo law passed
by the last session of Congress was begun
on the 1st Of July. This law imposes a tax
of 10 cents a pound on oleo colored in imi-
tation of butter. At the time the law was
passed there was one particular color COM
position which was argued against by the
advocates Of the bill
The oleo people claimed that they had
compounded this coloring matter. and that
since they had done this the dairy people
had adopted its use for the purpose Of col
oring butter; that the dairy interests now
wanted the oleo manufacturers estooped
from using their own coloring matter.
Since the passage of the bill the use of a
small quantity of palm oil has been made
by oleo manufacturers.
To Commissioner Yerkes this morning 1t
was explained by Mr.. Miller Outcolt of
Cincinnati, representing the oleo interests.
that very small quantity of this palm oil
was a most valuable addition to oleomar-
garine from a nutritive standpoint; that at
the same time palm oil had tendency to
color the product very light shade or tint
of yellow.
The Commissioner also heard chemical
analysis of the effect of palm oil from his
chief chemist, and will give the dairy people
an opportunity to present their side Of the
case tomorrow morning. To do this Mr.. C..
Y. Knight, secretary of the National Dairy
Union, has arrived In the city. Mr.. Knight
Is prepared both by chemical analysis and
arguments to show that palm oil is only
useful as cobordng substitute.
He will ask the commissioner to enforce
the law exactly as 1t reads, and construe
the effect of palm oil as "coloring oleo in
imitation of butter"
The commissioner will doubtless make no
ruling on the subject until he has carefully
reviewed the testimony of both sides.
