'The last few months we have had a
great amount Of extra work getting in
shape to comply with the provisions OF
the rate law. The men hired TO do this
work knew when they obtained employ
ment that it was only temporary. and
received notice some time ago that the
occasion having passed. they would no
longer be needed.
I'VE have adjusted the whole thing as
well as we have been able. Men who
were discharged were, whenever possible.
those without families. In some instances
men older IN the service were let go so
that we might keep on a new man who
had others dependent upon him.
THE report that we have cut down
entirely false We raised the salaries of
many of the clerks last summer, and
there is no intention of cutting them
now"
Mr. Rlant said that it is possible that
at any time many OF the discharged en-
ployes will be again needed, and that in
such a contingency the road would do
again what it has done in the past. hire

Woodward made the following statement

ordinarily taught in such institutions
After entering the service OF the
health department he was taught by
Prof. J. d. Hir6. then chemist for the
department. and yesterday associated
with the counsel for the defendant To
analyze milk and cream; and Prof. Hird
himself has in many cases relied on Dr.
Hattons work even to the extent of tes-
