EFFECTS ON HIGH
COST OF LIVING

Washington, Dec. S.--Cold storage
and it's effects on the high cost of
living Is up Tor consideration during
the present short session of Congress.
through the presentation today OF a
report on the subject by the Senate
committee on manufacturing.
When the Senate began an investi-
cation of the high cost of living, Sen
ator Lodge brought forward a resoiu-
tion asking for an inquiry into the
praetioes Of methods OF cold storage.
Extended hearings were given by the
committee on manufacturing before
before Congress adjourns and By Sen
ator Hepburn in Chicago during the
recess. From these Investigations,
the report was prepared.
The committees report is similar
in a general way. to the recommends
tions of DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry 1t is be-
uGNSU ludl lilS UltdnS ti.dA tue Dtlldtt
will undertake to regulate the inspec.
ton of products going into and com
ing out of cold storage warehouses.
DR. Wiley has made the assertion
that at present there is no adequate
or uniform method of inspecting food
products which go into cold storage,
nor Is there any prescribed time for
holding food products i'm cold stor-
age. 1t follows that goods may be
thus held indefinitely i'm order to hold
up prices or provide market In
some cases, also, great deterioration
in foods follows a prolonged preserya-
tion in warehouses.
The effect of cold storage it is in
timated, while in some ways benefi
cial to the public and capable. under
proper regulation, Of becoming an
undoubted boon, is now 10 hold up

The tap roads usually operate with

ems. The trunk lines and regular rail.
ways generally have had divisions of
freight rates in force with these small
enterprises. but the allowance made
to the tap lines varies in amount
and there Is no uniformity in practice
as to the division Of rates between
them and the trunk lines.
The commission condemned the di.
vision arrangement on the ground
that the tap roads were not interstate
commerce carriers but merely com
mercial enterprises, allowance IA
which enabled the maintenance oil
