 Gold Storage SpecuIators.

 Saying that his proposed legislation was not designed to injure the cold storage business as such, MT. Nickel lar declared:
 The drastic features of the bill are only aimed at the corrupt and dishon- est, at the gamblers and spectators, at the voracious vultures who stand around in the market places and reap where they have not sown, and fatten on other peoples food. I do not be- Heve any member of this great house will stand up for any such plunder- bund of food sharks"
 The AIcKellar bill, which would pre- scribe both prison terms and heavy fines for violation of its terms, would make it illegal to ship adulterated and misbranded food products into inter state commerce and would limit the periods in which food products may be held in storage
