has been construed to limit the APP

TIME LIMIT
is PLACED ON
COLD STORAGE

Washington, April 8-The first rem
bdial legislation recommended by the
select senate committee that has been
| investigating the high cost OF living
calls for q Limitation Of the time dur
Ing which perishable articles OF foed
may be held in cold storage 50 as to
prevent the maintenance and advance
ment Of prices artiiicially.
The committee unanimously reported
10 the senate bill making it punish
able under the provisions Of the pure
food act to keep In cold storage for
more than one year any article Of food
and requiring that all articles Of food
held in cold storage any length Of time
shall bear label plainly and correctly
stating the period Of time so stored.
Any food articles held in storage for
more than a year become "adulterat-
ed" and If the articles stored for a
lesser time do not bear the prescribed
label they become "misbrandedp and
are liable to the penalties imposed In
the pure food act.
Lodge Explains His Measure.
Senator Lodge In behalf Of the food
probe committee submitted the follow.
Ing statement In support OF the bill:
From such investigation as the
committee has thus far been able to
make they are satisfied that some limit
ought to be put on the use Of cold
storage for the purpose of maintaining
or advancing prices artificiaIly. They
are Of the opinion that this limit Of
time viii tend to an equalization Of
prices. in some cases to a reduction.
THE investigation of this subject
now being made by the agricultural
department Is not completed, but it
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 the Jurisdiction Of your COM
mittee charged with the investigation
into wages and prices. The committee
has no doubt, however. that limita-
ton Of the time during which perish
able articles Of food and more especial
ly meat products, may be retained In
cold storage would be hygienically of
very great value and would tend to
check any 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 very long time"
To Be Passed Next Week.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on manufactures, which considered
the pure food act 1t is expected that
the bin viii be reported to the senate
and passed early next week.
The inquiry into the high cost Of liv-
ing that is being conducted by the Sc
lect senate committee cannot be COM
pleted for at least four months, and
it VIII be necessary to employ experts
and statisticians at a cost of $4,000
to make the Investigation complete
and up to date Announcement to this
effect was made In the senate by Sena-
tor Lodge. the chairman of the food

Workers of the World
JUDGES FORBID
LABOR TO STRIKE.
BY PETER POWER.

Another step has been taken in
the scheme to make strikes unlaw-
full, rob the workers of the power
to resist oppression, and thus make
unions ineffective. Recently the
United States court in Virginia en-
Joined the miners from going on
strike, then the Illinois appellate
court prohibited the Chicago street
car men from ceasing work.
Now the superior court at Bos-
ton has issued a sweeping injunc-
ton in behalf of combine of
bosses against the striking photo
engravers prohibiting them from
continuing or proceeding with
the strike already called against
the plaintiffs, CIR from paying
strike benefits, or filming or pun
ishing any member of the union
for returning 10 work as a strike
breaker.
Thus one court after another
falls in line and assists in building
precedents to outlaw the strike and
place free labor on a basis with
the runaway slaves of so or 60
years ago.
