Democrats and Republicans, the house

RemSen or referee board, which has
power to review Wiley's pure food de-

full body should be created rather by
legislative enactment than by mere
executive order AS at present con-
stituted, the committee holds that the
purely advisory character of the board
has been exceeded.
Your committee is of the opinion"
the report says, that there may be
authority under the law for the crea-

joined on him in his official capacity,
but raises the question of its legality
on the sola grounds, that the deter

secretary is not enjoined on him under

The committee also declared that
the Remsen board is not authorized
