Washington, April IA limit should
be put on the use of cold storage for
the purpose of maintaining or ad-
vancing prices artificially, in the judg-
ment of the senate cost of living COM
mittee. chairman Lodge today intro
duced in the senate a bill to meet this
recommendation.
In presenting the bill, Senator
Lodge made the following statement:
''The committee are satisfied that
some limit ought to be,Fput on cold
storage for the purpose of maintaining
or advancing prices artificially. They
are of the opinion that this limit of
time will tend to an equalization of
prices and in some cases to reduc-
ton.
VIEWS ARE CONFIRMED.
"The investigation of this subject
by the agricultural department has
proceeded far enough to confirm by
the results thus far obtained the view
taken by the committee. The question
of the public health is not within juris-
diction of your committee. The COM
mittee have no doubt, however, that a
limitation of the time during which
perishable articles of food and more
especially meat productsm may be re-
tained in cold storage would be hy-
chemically of very great value and
would tend to check many physical
troubles which are thought by those
who have examined the question to be
attributable to the practice of keeping
meats, particularly, in storage for a
very long time.
THE committee therefore recon-
mends legislation in this direction by
congress at the earliest possible mo-
ment'
Mr.. Lodges bill would provide that
food kept in cold storage for more
than one year should be considered
as adulterated and that any food taken
out Of the cold storage and erroneous
ly marked as to the time it had been
in storage should be regarded as mis-
branded in violation of the pure food
law.
PLAN SUBMITTED.
The committee asked for instruc-
tions about continuing its investiga-
ton, estimating that four months
time and S65,O00 expenditure would be
necessary to complete its work. ac-
