and specify some important matters
which should be consummated during
the year to come. s8
tE Change of Location.
1t had been deemed advisable by
the members of the executive commit
tee and directors to maintain an Of
flee in more central location; there
fore, early in my administration, our
office was moved from Bel Air to
Washington, where we have been able
to keep in close touch with legislative
matters connected with the industry.
And we have found this change to
be most advantageous, and the gov
ernment officials ready to cooperate
with us in every good move.
Now and then a congressman or
senator, evidently uninformed on the
subject, presents a bill which is not
only detrimental to the canning inter-
est, but to the consumer of canned
goods as WE'LL will speak of but one
such, now under consideration by one
of the important committees of Con-
gress. This bill declares that all can
ned foods shall be dated the year they
are packed. 1t is a well-known fact
that almost every product that is
placed in cans maintains it's standard
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-02-04

of quality for many years. The pur-
pose of canning is to carry goods not
only from one season to another, but
also to pack surplus in years of
plenty, that the goods may be carried
forward to the lean years, or those of
famine. Should this bill become effect
i've packers would be cautious about
canning more than they had future
sales for, and when the years of fam
inc came, there would be nothing to
draw from This would terminate in
great hardship to the consumer.
Laboratory.
Since our last meeting. by the aid OF
the can manufacturers. we have bee
able to establish in the city of Wash
ington, a laboratory, second to none
in the United States, officered by SCI
entists of well-known and established
reputation-men not only learned in
their profession, but of such extensive
knowledge of our industry and affairs
that they have proven of great benefit
to the members of our association and
the entire industry; and it is to be the
province of this laboratory to aid in
every way possible the Gamers of the
country, not only to determine the lit
tie troubles. the unknown difficulties
of thei industry, but to assist in all
ways possible our members, and the
Gamers at large, to produce the choic-
est foods.
Increased Consumption.
The increased consumption of canned
foods since the organization of this
association has been phenomenal, and
the past year more than three and a
quarter billion cans of timed products
have been manufactured: and the
fact that little or no criticism has
been made of the detrimental effects
on the human system is sufficient evil
dence that canned foods are the most
healthful of any placed on sale by the
distributors of food products. This
IS a broad statement but absolutely
true; and the fact that canned foods
may be depended upon not only for
their economy, but for their health
giving value as WELL is one that should
make a strong appeal to the consum-
ers of the1Gpuntry.
Canned Foods Healthy.
Our secretary has carefully investi-
gated the few hundred cases of pto-
maine poisoning which have been re-
reported, and we have yet to learn of
a single death that could be directly
attributed TO the use of canned goods;
and while in past seasons large
amount of money has been expended
in investigations of this nature it
would seem that the facts are so well
established at this time that little or
M attention need be paid to rumors or
headlines of this character. 1t is a
fact beyond question that longevity
has Increased, and in about the same
proportion that the canned foods in
dustry has developed; who can say
that canned foods may not be, in a
measure, responsible for this era of
good health and long life?

CLAIMS INTERSTATE
TRADE COMMISSION
- BILL TOO DRASTIC.

Is - + ~.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Seth Low, former
mayor of New York. and president of the
National Civic Federation, before the
House commerce committee today pre-
sented tentative draft Of bill prepared
by himself, Prof.. w. jerks and other
members of Federation committee for
an Interstate Trade Commission. se
Mr. Low contended that the Clayton
bill. pending, would empower commits
sion with too drastic powers of research
of corporations. The Federatton's bill
would define just what Information gath
cred by the commission should be made
public. Limited publicity was the key
note Of his recommendations. In cases
of limited liability he believed the pub
lie was entitled to know the exact finan-
cial conditions of the corporation. but he
did not believe in publishing broadcast
confidential information except in certain
cases.
Citing Iegalized trade agreements
abroad, Mr.. Low said he believed the
trade commission ultimately would have
jurisdiction over the legalzing of trade
agreements for conserving coal, timber
and other natural resources.
Any attempt by Congress to define more
closely the prohibitions and restrictions
Of the Sherman law would serve only to
open loopholes for future attacks upon 1t,
