MOSS IN FIGHT
FOR ABOLITION OF
REMSEN BOARD
Congressman Declares 1t a
Check on Operation of
Food Law.

Congressman Moss OF Indiana. chair
man of the special House committee
which recently Investigated the Wiley
McCabe controversy in the Department
OF Agriculture, has opened the fight on
the House floor against the maintenance
of the Remsen referee board, which upon
several occasions has reversed the pure
food decisions of Or. Harvey w. Wiley.
The agricultural appropriation bill.
now pending in the House, contains an
appropriation OF 600 for the maintc-
nance Of the Remsen board during the
next year. Opposing the appropriation.
Mr.. Moss said that he had no objec-
tion to adding this amount to the al
lowance for the enforcement OF the
pure food law, but that the appropria-
ton for the Remsen board would tend
toward resistance of the plan to reor-
ganize the Bureau OF Chemistry"
The opening of the fight on the Rem
sen board presages an attack on the
bureau presided over by Solicitor Nc
Cabe, when that section OF the bill is
reached
Paying tribute to DIR. Wiley and
criticising the virtual power of the Sec
retary. of Agriculture to set aside pure
food decisions by means of a food and
drug inspection board, Mr. Moss said:
Reviewing this work of the Bureau
OF Chemistry through the board of food
and drug inspection the Secretary has
abated 6,9O2 Of these cases by failing
or refusing to certify them to the district
courts for prosecution. Thus approxi-
mately two-thirds Of all cases recon-
mended for prosecution by the bureau
has been reversed by the Secretary or
some authority appointed by him for
that purpose.
THE larger number was abated on
the advice of the Board of Food and
Drug Inspection, composed of DR.. Wiley
DR.. Dunlop, and Solicitor McCabe. The
records show that DR.. Wiley voted tC
sustain the findings of the bureau and
other prosecutions in two-thirds of al
the cases, but was overruled by DR.
Dunlop and Solicitor McCabe.
