PORK BARREL" CUT
BY SENATE CAUSES
PROTEST IN HOUSE
Friends of Projects Not In
cluded in $2O,0O0,OOO
Appropriation May Revolt
and Defeat Measure.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Murmur-
inss of a revolt in the House against the
cut in rivers and harbors appropriations
to S20,000,000 by the Senate today we're
heard among friends of projects left out
of the measure This brought the sug-
gestion from Senators favoring water
way improvements that even the $780,
100000 appropriation might be put in
Jeopardy before the matter finally Is
closed.
A strong sentiment was apparent on
the House side which Indicated that the
Rivers and Harbors Committee Of the
lower body might disagree to the Senaee
measure. 1t was pointed out that the
return to the Senate by the House Of
bill differing from that passed by the
Senate, with the temper Of the Senate
still on edge as a result of the long
flibuster, seriously might threaten the
passage of any waterways bill
The bill as passed provided for the all
lotted amount to be expended under the
direction of the Secretary of War and the
supervision of the Chief OF Engineers for
the preservation and maintenance Of ex-
listing river and harbor works and for the
prosecution Of such projects heretofore
authorized as may be most desirable In
the interests of commerce and navigation
and most economical and advantageous
in the prosecution of the work"
The Newlands River Regulation Com
mission scheme was defeated in commit
tee by vote of 3 to 6. II was provided,
however, that the allotment for the Mis-
sisslppi River UP to the mouth of the
Ohio shall be expended in accordance
with the plans, specifications and recon-
mendations of the Mississippi River Com
mission.

to be realized In the contemplated es-
tablishment by the Government of in
formation and employment bureaus in

1t is expected, will materially reduce the
number of unemployed aliens, with many
OF whom unemployment is chronic.
BY interchanging information, the bu-
reaus in the industrial centres of the
country will cooperate with each other
in moving and distributing the unem-
ployed and equalizins the labor market.

WOMEN'S FIGHT FOR
CLEAN BREAD LACKS
THE LAWS BACKING
State Department Rules 1t
Cannot Enforce Compul-
sorry Wrapping of Food
Asked for by Local Asso-
Citations of Workers.

The efforts of hundredes of women in
Pennsylvania and particularly in Phila-
delphia to compel food dealers to be
more careful in the display of food In
stores, particularly the sanitary wrapping
of bread, has received a severe setback
in the public announcement of a ruling
by General Counsel Woodward, of the
State Department of Agriculture. ex-
tracts of which are printed by Food
Commissioner James Foust in the cur
rent issue Of tie official Food Bulletin
of the department
Mr.. Woodward rules that the law forces
any successful prosecution to the point
handled in such a way that 1t is rem
dered contaminated, not in such a way
that under certain conditions it might
be rendered 30.
For months the Civic Club of Philadel-
phia, with the support OF the New Cen
tury Club, the Philomusian Club, the
Home Economics Association of Phila-
delphia and the Woman's Organization
of the National Retail Druggists have
been trying to obtain ruling that would
force the wrapping of bread, believing
that in many cases disease is carried
through the medium of exposed bread.
The first intimation that the desired rul-
ing could not be obtained came last
March, when Mr.. Foust, while stating
that he was In thorough accord with It,
said that as he understood the law IL
did not authorize any such stringent or
der. He referred the matter to Mr..
Woodward for an opinion and was sus-
tanned
Mr.. Foust in the current bulletin, re-
views the correspondence in the matter
to show how Inadequate are the laws of
Pennsylvania on pure food legislation.
Concerning the jurisdiction of the COM
missioner he quotes, in part as follows
from Mr.. Woodward's opinion:
1T must be conceded. think, that as
Dairy and Food Commissioner you have
no power to make laws. The Legislature
OF the State is the only law-makin
power under the constitution of the
State. The Legislature is not alone the
only law-making power, but il has no
power to delegate the legislative au-
thority vested in it by the constitution.
Therefore the Legislature has no power
to grant you authority, to make any law.
AS an executive officer. you cannot, by
rule or regulation extend the law be-
yond it's letter so as to make II include
anything not covered by a proper con-
struction of the law. II you cannot,
therefore. under the law. punish a per-
son who delivers bread without the wrap
ping of the same. when YOU have no rule
or regulation on said subject, the making
OF such rule or regulation will not aid
you in securing the punishment of such
person"
