AS the first result of the investigation
OF the Senate committee on the high
cost of living, 1t recommended today
legislation governing the length of time
that articles of food are to be kept il
cold storage
The bill introduced by Senator Lodge
in behalf of the committee would de-
clare articles of food adulterated when
kept in cold storage for more than a
year, and would declare food misbranded
unless it bears a label showing cor
rectly the length of time it has been
kept in cold storage.

next Monday. A lively discussion is as
Sured.
John H. Magruder. grocer, at Connectl-
cut avenue and X street, and Frank
Tilford OF one of the biggest grocery
firms in New York city were witnesses
before the committee at its session this
morning.
In support of charge that 1obbers
and wholesalers declare a boycott against
manufacturers who sell directly to re-
tailers, letters and other papers were pre-
sented to the committee by Mr. Magru-
der.
He told the committee that he ordered
some soap directly from the factory In
1907.
Shortly after the order went in he re-
ceived a communication from an officer
Of the Southern Wholesale Grocers AS
sociation.. asking him to fill out blank
application for direct buying privileges
This letter explained that the association
was used by manufacturers as the means
to determine those eligible for direct buy
ing privileges.
Another letter. Of later date, follow
ing the date of the filing Of the statement
of Mr.. Magruder. the manufacturer of
soap notified the local grocer that he
could not sell him direct.
Mr.. Tilford told the committee he
thought the placing of articles in cold
storage was an important factor in the
present high pricos of food. In his
opinion, he said, there is some sort of
a combination between the cold storage
men.

ATTACK WILEY BILL

DISCUSSED AT HEARING

The constitutionality of the bill in

District committee today. Corporation
Counsel E. H.. Thomas. President George
f. Hamilton of the Capital Traction
Company; J. J. Darlington and II. w.
Williams. president Of the Baltimore
and Washington Transit Company,
were heard.
The Wiley measure, If enacted into law,
would be unconstitutional, President
Hamilton and Mr.. Darlington contended.
On the other hand the corporation coun-
sci and President Williams argue that
in putting such a law on the statute
books Congress would be acting entirely
within it's rights
Under the terms of the charters granted
to the railway companies. Mr.. Thomas
said, Congress specifically reserves the
right to appeal. alter or amend at any
time. 1t was plain from this. he thought,
that legislation providing for universal
transfers in the District of Columbia
would not infringe on any right allowed
to the local railway lines Dy tHoiF CNdT-
ters.
He thought that the only problem about
which the District Commissioners need
be concerned had to do with the relation
Of universal transfers to the public con-
yenience, and he insisted that if 1t could
he ascertained that the local street rail-
way companies could grant universal
transfers and still do business at a profit
he was certain that the act would be
sustained by the courts.
Invalid if Confiscatory.
He admitted that, on the contrary
should it be evident that the act i'm
posed hardship amounting to confiscatior
upon the street railway lines then II
would be declared unconstitutional
He also expressed some doubt as to the
validity Of tnat provision of the bill
which prescribes the manner in which the
railway companies shall reimburse each
other for the transfers collected on which
passengers have ridden. The unconstitu-
tionality of this provision. If 1t were found
TO be so, would, he feared, amount to q
notification of the entire act
According to Mr.. Darlington the Wiley
hill Is unconstitutional and 1t would not
hold in the courts.
All the arguments heard by the COM
mittee today were based on the legal
features of the bill and had to do with
the constitutional aspects. All the wit
nesses read decisions Of the United States
Supreme Court to support their aTYu-
ments. :.
