FoR PURE FOOD AND DRUGS
National Civic Federation to Take
Hand In Warfare.

New York.-With countrywide
call for recruits from the ranks of
large employers of labor, the Nation
al Civic Federation has declared war
upon impure food and drugs, those
who make them. those who sell them,
and, in particular, dealers who de-
liberately adulterated commodities.
1t is through the employer, Presi-
dent Seth Low announced, that the
federation hopes to check the evil.
The new department which the fed
GRAFTON has organized, he said, would
make plain to employers how their
employees are imposed upon and de-
frauded as to both quality and meas
-urement of food and drugs purchas-
ed by them. The department plans
to work also for uniformity of state
legislation and better enforcement of
laws bearing on the evil.
'The recent exposures in New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago"
President Low declares in his formal
announcement, indicate the magni-
tude and far-reaching character of
the violation of the food and drug
law. 1t is situation which calls
for drastic treatment"

horses had to get the habit without
the encouragement which a liberal APP.

animals recovered their form on the

enormous quantities and that is the
reason.

WILL INTRODUCE
COLD STORAGE BILL
Assemblyman James to Submit
Duplicate Measure.

TRENTON, Jan. 13.-Assemblyman
Peter H. James, of Hudson County,
will introduce in the Legislature next
week a duplicate of his cold storage
bill of last winter. 1t lie not a wild
guess to say that 1t will receive better
treatment han 1t did last year. when,
after being held up in the House conf
mittee for several weeks. it was finally
dragged out and passed, but in some
very mysterious way 1t was lost
between the House and Senate during
the closing hours of the session.
The measure seeks to place some sort
of control upon the time in which
p~erishable food stuffs can be kept IN
cold storage and provides q fine for
violations. It was presented at the iaet
session as a consequence of the dis
closures made by the Hudson County
Grand Jury that Investigated the high
cost OF living, and which reported that
cold storage warehouses constituted
one Of the principal means through
which monopolists were able to Corner
the ~necessaries Of life for the purpose
of enhancing prices.
The James bill met with determined
opposition and 1t looked for a time as
though II would never be reported from
committee, and when II did finally gel
out and was passed by the Assembly,
Mr.. James was congratulating himself
upon his success when he learned thai
II had disappeared In transmission Il
the upper house. Although he regarded
this as a suspicious circumstance there
was not time for an official investiga-
ton. This year, however, Mr.. James
intends to keep an eye on it from the
time 1t is introduced until 1t reaches
the Governor for his signature.

WLKINSON-GADDIS
COMPANY TO MOVE.
Will Abate Lafayette Street
Sidewalk Obstruction.

According to Frank Walsh, secretary
OF the Wilkinson-G addis Company, that
firm will in the near future remove its
plant from the corner of Broad and
Lafayette street and thereby remove
the o~bjectional distractions about
which property-ewners and business
men in Lafayette street have been
complaining. Mr.. Walsh gave this in
formation at the meeting of the Board
of Works yesterday and promised that
as soon as his company could make
satisfactory arrangements as to the
purchase of additional land the present
quarters would be vacated.
The new plant is te be located at
Parkhurst street, Murray street, New
Jersey Railroad avenue and Tichenor
lane. The company's warehouse and
grain elevator are located at this spot
now and Il is the intention Of the COM
pany to have the entire plant under
one roof.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd called Mr..
Walsh's attention to the fact that three
years ago there vas an agitation on
foot against the company for obstruct-
ing the street with their trucks, and
despite the fact that the company
bought a lot adjoining its plant to be
used as an interior loading station the
obstruction still continued. The en-
gineer appeared to be skeptical as to
the company keeping its promise. Mr..
Walsh declared that his firm was 90
ing all it could under the circum-
stances. The matter was laid over
until the next meeting of the board.
