Almost Forgotten Health Law
Revived in Raid Upon Prod
ncts of This State
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

YOKOHAMA, April Whether the
California anti japanese agitation and
the present rigid enforcement of an
almost forgotten health law passed in
1900 and never enforced are merely
coincidental. or whether the latter is
a form of retaliation, must be left to
the Judgment of the individual. in view
of the following facts:
For the last ten days dealers in
canned goods have been not only great
ly annoyed, but actually thrown into
state Of CONSERVATION through the
confiscation by the police of all their
stock of American canned fruits and
vegetables.
The law of 1900. a dead letter for
nine years, but now revived, prohibits
the use of more than so per cent of
lead in the solder on tin cans contain
ing edibles The. government analysis
shows 81 per cent of lead. and in some
cases so and SO per cent, but mostly
81 per cent, used on the cans in ques-
ton. Strange to say while timed
meats form the greater proportion of
the importations, only canned fruits
and vegetables have been attacked.
The United States furnishes about 80
per cent of the total of all imported
timed goods and of the canned fruits
and vegetables California furnishes by
far the largest proportion.
1t is strange that the law was not
applied to all tin canned edibles, and
that only fruits and vegetables should
have been attacked. In no case has the
stock been confscated except the
American products.
The firm doing the largest business In
this line, and the first one attacked. is
an English concern, registered In
Hongkong. Nearly 90 per cent of its
sales consist of American goods. In
this particular house every can OF
American fruits. jam. vegetables, etc,
was confiscated
