Especial from United Press.>

Hartford, June S-A startling story of the way in which the public is be- ing footed by the sale of goods by the package rather than by weight, was given out here, today, for the first time following closely the disclosures made by Sealer of Weights and Mea- sures Edward J. Maroney, of New Haven, who. yesterday, in the Senate ante chamber, gave a demonstration in support of bill providing that the weight or measure of package foods should be marked on the outside of the package. The Senate passed the bill. Also the House passed the bill but made a few minor amendments.
 A New Haven Senator was oppos- ed to the bill. He said:
 'tIt is very handy to purchase goods in a package Only last night bought a package of smoked beef which was fine. It was put up in glass jar and was clean and sanitary"
 MT. Maroney turned to the Senator and said: "In this collection do you see package of that smoked beef?' The Senator pointed out the jar in the col lection. MT. Maroney recognized it On the spot and proved to the Sena- tor that he was buying smoked beef at the rate of 73 1-2 cents a pound. The Senator Immediately became strong advocate of the bill.
 Sealer of Weights and Measures Ma roney had packages to prove that a 10 cent package of rolled oats sold for two and a half times as much as oats in bulk.
 Seven ounces of soda crackers were given customer in a package sold at the money rate and sixteen ounces
