The REMSEN BOARD
IS A Big Farce

FERROUS ingredient which may render
such article injurious to health" This
is all the Remsen Board was ever
called upon to consider and all that
was considered by the Pure Food Com
mission, as evidenced by its decision,
whoch says: 1T having been determin-
ed that benzoate of soda mixed with
food is not deleterious or poisonous
and is not injurious to health, no OBJ
lection will be raised under the Food
and Drugs Act to the use in food of
benzoate Of soda, ETC."
But the Pure Food law goes much
further. 1t provides that an article
shall be deemed adulterated: IF it
be mixed. colored, powdered, coated or
stained in a manner whereby damage
or inferioritv is concealed" Under
that section the use cf dyes to conceal
damage or inferiority is prohibited
but while protecting the stomach from
possible bias of vision, absolutely no
protection is afforded against the con-
cealment of damage or inferiority by
means of benzoate of soda although
without it such damage or inferiority
would be recognized at once by the
palate.
The sixth paragraph of the same
law provides that an article shall be
deemed adulterated: IF it consists in
whole or in part of filthy, decompos-
ed or putrid animal or vegetable sub
stance In view of the fact that the
basis of the indictment of benzoate of
soda is that it enables manufacturers
to utilize materials such as are con-
demned in the paragraph quoted, and
| for the purpose described in the pre-
ceding paragraph of the law. 1t seems
, strange that the food commission
should have confined the investiga-
tions of the Remsen board to questions
largely of an academic nature and
which may regard as of minor import
ance compared with those which were
not considered
1t was originally contemplated that
these paragraphs should be considered
and under the direction of the Depart
men of Agriculture an extensive inves-
tigation into the manufacture of ketch-
up both with and without benzoate of
soda was made by a Pure Food Inspec-
tor, DR.. A. w. Biting. He not only
examined a large number of manufac
turing plants but conducted a number
of experiments with ketchup put III
under his own supervision, as we'll as
with lletchups of all varieties purchas
ed on the market. Inspector Bittine
made a most interesting and compre
hensive report while the matter was il
the hands of the Remsen Board, bu
there is no evidence that the board, OF
the commission itself, gave his repor
the slightest consideration although
its compilation must have cost sew
eral hundred dollars.
Inspector Biting describes the
ketchup where damage or inferiorit,
is concealed by use of benzoate o
soda, or which Consists in whole or il
part of filthy, decomposed or putrit

BUSINESS PROPERTY
HalIoran-Judge Pays $41, 900
for Ground at West Temple
and Third South.

Tho largest real estate transaction
reported during the past week was con-
summated Saturday with the purchase
by the Halloran-Judge company of the
interest formerly controlled by W. L.
Hubbard of tho Hubbard Investment
company in tho property at the corner
Of West Temple and Third South streets
for Sa1,000. The property contains j
frontage Of $50 feet on Third South
and a frontage of 156 feet on West
Temple, and includes the Metropolitan
hotel building. The purchase was made
for investment purposes and no changes
in the premises are contemplated at

important on account OF its nearncss to
the new depot which is being erected by
the Denver q Rio Grande railroad at
Third South and Fourth West. The
rapid development of West Temple
street as wholesale district is also
commented upon as reason for the ln-
creasing Importance of the location,

the price paid $40 per front foot, is
j fair price FOR property III that To-
cality, especially as there has been

MURRAY SHELTER HAS
BEEN DEAD NINE DAYS
There Is No Present Indications
of a Speedy Resumption
of Activity.

Nine days have passed since the walk
out of the worlliugmen occurred at the
American Smelling & Refining com
pany's plant in Murray. The men,
which, include Austrians. Greeks and
Italians, walked out last Saturday even
ing at IL o clock and compelled all the
white laborers to strike with them.
From indications, the strike is one
of the most peculiar ever inaugurated
The strikers have no organization, or
have they even elected chairman, one
to act for them, but go about in a body
and do their own talking. Their com
mlttec, which was composed of tWo
Greeks and two Austrians, has mot once
with tho smelter officials, and when
they stated that they wanted an in
crease of 20 cents IN wages, they were
told that the Salt Lake office had all
the details and would act as it saw fit.
During the past week all laborers who
were on strike received their time
checks, aud received no encouragement
as TO when they would be able to come
TO work again Ever since the first
day of the strike the strikers have kept
a strict watch at the main gate lead.

dared TO enter he was summarily dealt

4 number of fights have taken place,
which resulted in the arrest of twelve
foreigners. Ands Wednesday evening a
duel took place in BergertoWr among
number Of the foreign residents, but
taken as whole the strikers have con-
dncted themselves in an orderly man
ner No agreement whatever has been
reached as yet between the strikers and
the smclteT officials, and from in1ica-
tinns the plant may be closed for an
indefinite period
That the strike is impeding business
in Murray has been demonstrated the
past week. The strikers, however, APP

very few are leaving town 10 find work
elsewhere. SATURDAY was the quietcst
day since the strike began.
Many prominent citizens of Murray
have voiced the opinion that they would
like TO see speedy settlement of the
present situation, in the hope OF avoid
ing any further trouble and getting
business back on its old basis.
