Finally, not satisfied with the work
done in committee, members agreed to
a tentative amendment to be offered on
the floor of the house which provided
that the quantity or proportion Of
opium or morphine need not be stated
on the label Of patent medicine unless
it was in excessive quantities, an
amendment which has secured the open
condemnation of every medical society
in the country.
Coupled with this actually suspicious
parliamentary history, SO far as the
committee is: concerned, the pure food
bill has been buffeted about ever since
it was reported from the committee
March 7 in a way which is singular
only to those who are not familiar with
legislative proceedings It is the east
est thing in the world to kill bill by
indirection. Bills can be pigeon-holed
in committee and they can be put to
sleep in the house without single mem
Der being required to go on record.
That is exactly what has happened to

Measure.

Journal Special Service. -.
Chicago, June ia Washington

President Roosevelt has undertaken
to see if he can help along the pure
food bill, which has been in comatose
condition in the house Of representa-
tives, owing to q decision by the lead.
it's passage until after the fall cleo
tions.
The president has expressed concern
to several leaders in the house that
they should have. permitted purely po-
litical considerations to stand in the
way Of the bill, which is in the inter
est Of the whole people, and which is
time to supplement the efforts being
made to put the manufacture Of meat
products upon a higher plane.
The pure-food bill is still buried in
the house. It could be taken up and
passed almost on a twenty-four hour
notice if such procedure were agreeable
to Speaker Cannon Chairman Hepburn
and Subchairman Mann.
Brazenly smothered.
The pure-food measure at no time
has had fair treatment in the house
Of representatives. It is being smoth-
cred today as it was smothered two
months ago. A series of bluffs has
been worked by various people to de-
ceive the public, but the fact remains
that the measure, which several times
has been made a special order Of the
house, apparently is no nearer its pas
sage than it was more than three
months ago, when it was reported from
the committee on Interstate and for
| elgn commerce.
If the pure-food bill is taken up by
| the house and passed before amend
| ment, the chances are ten to one it
will be held up in conference. This de-
cision has been reached for political
reasons, and it will be followed unless
| the people themselves made their wish
even the bosses of the house are accus-
| toned to respect.
Bill Is Weakened.
| Tt is a fact, which comparison Of
| the house of representatives thru its
committee on interstate commerce, in
stead Of strengthening the original
pure-food bill, has weakened it. Amend
