WOMEN AND BAKERS
CLASH In PURE
FOOD FIGHT
BREAD MAKERS BEFORE COU NCfL COMMITTEE OBJECT TO
WRAPPING LOAVES DAMAGES D.
DETERMINED STAND CLEAN
ORDINANCE LIKELY TO PASS.

Tacoma bakers object to being
compelled to wrap their bread in
parafin paper. And Tacoma wom-
en- object to having the bread ex-
posed as a roost for flies and a
collector for germs and dust.
The bakers told the council
health committee this morning
that to wrap the bread when fresh
causes the gasses in it to concen-
trate and make the bread unfit for
use.
The women told the committee
that when it is not wrapped 1t gets
dirty and often full of disease
germs.
Women for Pure Food.
Mrs. o. G. Ellis, Mrs. Stanton
Warburton and Mrs. D. e. Roberts
appeared as a committee from the
pure food council of Tacoma wom-
en- to speak for the new ordinance
which will be introduced In the
council Wednesday night.
A dozen bakers appeared to
protest against the wrapping of
bread. There was no dispute about
any other portion of the ordi-
nance. The bakers also said they
wanted to keep their produce
clean but they did not want the
wrapping insisted upon.
Mrs. Ellis said they did not
care whether it was wrapped or
not If some other way could be
provided for keeping 1t clean. But
she cited numerous instances that
had come under her observation
where the bread was getting dirty.
Bakers Argument.
/ Donald Mcpherson, the baker,
|said 80 per cent of all the bakers
bread in Tacoma is sold south OF
division avenue. 1t goes to the
workingmen's homes.
"Yes, and they make a mistake,
too," suggested Mrs. Warburton
81 know you men make the bread
lust as good as you can but there
Is more nourishment in one of my
loaves than in two you bake" she
said.
| Lloyd Robinson, of the Tacoma
Baking company, declared that
they tried to deliver bread to the
grocer perfectly clean. He thought
it up to the grocer then.
| Mr.. McLain of McLain Brothers
said bread should "cure" and to
wrap it would prove disastrous.
Mrs. Ellis insisted that the
women did not want the bread
injured nor any hardship put on
the bakers but they do want the
bread kept free from flies and
dust.
Dust is healthy" suggested r.
Nearup. "You got to have a little
mud in the stomach"
May Bar Wrappers.
The committee finally reached
an informal conclusion to elimin-
ate the wrapping section of the or
dinance pertaining to bread.
Otherwise 1t will stand practi-
cally as drawn, according to the
present showing, although Chair
man Giblett said the butchers
would probably want to take rap
1t it later.
Mrs. Ellis said If the Tacoma
council will pass 1t the state fed
Grafton of women's club will take
it up and use the Tacoma ordi-
nance as a model to send all over
the country for pattern for other
cities, thus giving this city a ma
tional advertisement that would
be Of inestimable value as the
pioneer in the movement for pure
food.
She said over 1000 women were
enlisted in the movement here
now and that the federated wom-
ems clubs of the whole country
are just taking up the pure food

Generals Attitude to a Desire to
"BoIster Up the President"
Washington, Jan. 15.-Taking the
floor with the avoWed intention of
"placing both Attorney General Bona
parte and Postmaster General Meyer
in the Ananias club" Senator Tjllrnan
addressed the senate. He alternated
between acrid denunciation of these
two members of the presidents cab
met and ridicule, which he hurled at
them in shrill tones that reverberated
through the senate chamber and at
times could be heard in the adjoining
corridors. He quoted the portion of
Mr.. Bonaparte's statement of last
Monday in which the latter said that
Tillman had not told him of his de-
sire to obtain some of the lands in
question and fatty contradicted the
head of the department of justice. He
declared that he had been entirely
frank with Mr.. Bonaparte and had
fully explained to him his interest in
those lands. He attributed the attor-
ney generals attitude to a desire to
BOLSTER up the president" Postmas-
ter General Meyer was brought into
the discussion because of a statement
made by him regarding the investi-
cation of the Dorr case. Mr.. Tillman
said that Mr.. Meyers effort to make
it appear that the inquiry had been
directed originally against Dorr was
not based on the truth. He declared
that from the first the inquiry had
been directed against him (Tillman)
and not against Dorr. Mr. Tillman
was also careful to bring out the fact
that the land which he had attempted
to get was not government land at all,
but land granted as far back as 1865
under the condition that it should be
sold at $3.50 per acre.
Mr.. Tillman closed with a renewal
Of his demand for an investigation
He said he Was prepared for any
thing, even the knife of the assassin.
