The Star has evidence that the
girls at the Supply Laundry were
worked overtime last night and the
night before.
Also that last Saturday two girls
we're ordered 20 work Sunday, be-
cause the company was behind in
tia work. The women refused. and
were told they need not come back.
Monday morning they did not re-

Since that time the case has fall

And naturally the laundry has re-

In this connection 1t is proper to
say to the farmers who are selling
butter to the stores, that they are in
ficting a great injustice on the deal
err when they sell butter which is not
wrapped in a printed wrapper. giving
the information required by the Law.
On the other hand. the dealer to pro-
tect himself should refuse to buy any
butter which does not comply with
the law, and above all things, should
never handle butter which has been
enclosed in wrappers upon which has
been used an indelible pencil or
stamp, as this also is in violation of

Handling Butter Not Properly Labeled
Last night State Pure Food Com
missioner James H. Wallis seized a
large shipment Of butter at the In
land Meat company's store, the same
being exposed for sale 10 violation Of
the law, which requires that all but
ter sold or exposed for sale in the
state of Idaho shall have printed on
the wrapper the name Of the maker
and place where made, and also the
number Of ounces the package con-
tains. Some Of the butter seized was
wrapped in plain paper, with no
printing at all on 1t; some had the
name Of the person who made ii. but
nothing to show where the maker
lived nor how much butter the pack
age contained. Considerable Of the
butter had been stamped with rub
Der stamp. and the indelible ink used
had run into the butter and could not
be read. The object of the Law
which is a good one, is TO give the
consumer the privilege of buying a
grade of butter which be knows to
be clean and good. There are some
people who make butter for the mar
ket who are not as particular In their
habits as is expected Of the manufac-
turers Of food, while there are others
who make a product that is not gilt
edged by any means. il has been
knoEn that butter has been marketed
from home where there was an In
fectious disease.
In order 10 protect the consumer, |
The Law very wisely provides that be-
fore butter can be sold. il must have
the name Of the maker printed on the
wrapper. together With the place
where Il was made. In addition to
this. the consumer is entitled to know
how much butter be is getting for his
