HEARINGS ON COLD STORAGE.
High Cost of Living to Be Discussed
Before Congressional Committee.

The high cost of living will take
prominent place again in congressional
discussion early next month, when hear
Jngs will begin on Representative Nc
Kellar's bill to regulate cold storage of
food products. Two proposals have been
advanced. One would prohibit the inter-
state transportation of foodstuffs in cold
storage more than certain length of
time, and the other would limit specifical-
ly the length of time which certain
products may be stored.
Forces on both sides of the question are
preparing their lineup for the hearings.
which promise to be extensive and inter
esting. Representative Covington is
chairman of subcommittee which will
take testimony and make reports on the
Mcclellan bill and other cold storage
measures.
