Representative Tawney was 5"among those

The fight is over the construction of the

they should be taxed only u of a cent
per pound for all their product to which

The representative of the dairy interests
says that the approval of such a con

the plain intent of congress. and would
enable oleomargarin makers to continue
to turn out their ,colored producks at 8
greater profit than before and they woulG
