No Encouragement for
Cold Storage Control

No legislation for the regulation of the
cold storage business along the lines
favored by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley and
other believers In stringent pure food
legislation is to be expected at the
coming session of Congress. This is the
talk among members of the Senate
Committee on Manufactures, the COM
mittee before which the question of
such legislation is pending.
Senator Hepburn, chairman Of the
committee, is favorable to stringent
legislation. but in this he is not backed
up by part of his committee. The bill
Senator Hepburn has introduced pro-
vfdess fpr limitation of the periods dur
Ing Which food products of different
kinds may remain in cold storage In
addition. it provides for rigid system
of INSPECTION of the products put into
cold storage.
Cold storage interests in this country
have been fighting bitterly against re-
strictive legislation. Hearings were
conducted before the Committee on
Manufactures last session. Former Con-
gresham Charles e. Littlefield of
Maine marshaled the forces against
this legislation. He was retained as
attorney by cold storage interests, which
got a much better, showing. In the
uedr1HSS tndn tne advocates OF reStrlC-
tive legislation. This was due to no
favoritism on the part of the commit
tee, apparently, but to the fact that the
cold storage interests were on the alert
and prepared, while the public side of
the case was largely unrepresented.
1t is contended by those who want
little or no restriction on the cold
storage business that there has been
failure to show that food products kept
In cold storage for long time are
deleterious to health. 1t is admitted
that such articles of food may lose
their palatability, but it Is insisted it
has not been shown they hurt anybody.
