LEGISLATIVE NEWS
COLD STORAGE ACT
GIVEN ROASTING
Commissioner Foustt Gets Off
With Compliments, but the Law
Is Sadly Handled

The cold storage law of the State was
hammered yesterday afternoon for a
couple of hours when the House health
and sanitation committee gave a hear
ing on the Senate bill to repeal the
law. 1t was a largely attended hear
ing and men interested in storage in
dozen cities were present.
The hearing was marked by a lively
assault on the cold storage law by
Charles S. Calwell, president of the
Corn Exchange Bank of Philadel-
phia, criticism of. the cold storage in

ness of Dairy and Food Commissioner
ia mes F'oust by John p. Connolly,
Philadelphia councilman. Mr.. Foust
complimented the cold storage men
on the assistance they had given him
in enforcing the law and to the good
condition in which they kept their
plants
John ]. Mcdonald, Francis r. Shat
tuck and Mr.. Connolly argued for the
repeal of the law, holding that it made
regulations that fell heavily on the
cold storage business in Pennsylvania
and which opened the door to products
from other States. Mr.. Connolly said
that the fair treatment by Mr.. Foust
had been appreciated by the cold stor-
age men who felt that it was fortunate
that he had administered the law in a
broad-minded manner and with good
sense. He formally thanked Mr.. Foust.
Both Messrs. Connolly and Calwell
called attention to the enormous in
vestment in cold storage in the State
j. A. Oil, Pittsburgh butter and egg
storage man, and H. Hinrichs, Jr., ac-
tive in the Lake Erie fish industry
which represents over a million dol
lars, said that some changes in the law
should be made rather than all bars
be taken down. The same view was
taken by ]. f. b. Cunningham, attor-
ney for Pittsburgh storage interests.
Mr.. Calwell declared bluntly there
was no excuse for the law which inn
posed burdens and drove out Pennsyl-
vania produce. He said the markets
of Philadelphia contained Chinese eggs,
Danish butter, Dutch condensed milk
and Argentine meat, while western
products are gaining advantage over
pennsylvania products. He said in
Philadelphia children are actually 60
ing to school breakfastless and that it
Is poor time to be legislating in any
way that will result in destruction of
food He remarked that the business
of the country was not being disturb
ed by the war or even Washington ar
much as by legislation.
Mr.. Foust said that eggs were cheap
er than for years and that owners
of storage plants had gone out of the
way to help in enforcing the act. 'If
the law is not right the LEGISLATURE
should make it right said he. Some
of the provisions are vague, but il
would be a mistake to repeal it. Re-
peal would be a step backward and I
hope there will be no repeal
Mr.. Nusbaum, representing the
Sharpless Company, argued for the re-
pealer. He held that the present pure
food laws are ample for all pur-
poses.

Pure Barber Bill
Killed by House

House voted down bills to establish a
system of State licensure for BARRIERS
and 10 reduce salaries of county COM
missioncrs in counties containing be-
tween 100000 and 200 600 population.
Several members rose TO object to
proposed reduction of salaries and Mr..
Sarig, Berks, said it looked more like
a personal basis than zeal for the tax
payers. The bill only got twenty votes.
The, barber bill went down with 12S
votes against it and 2S in favor.
The bill to repeal the State moving
picture censorship was negatively re-
ported by the House committee on
judiciary general. Five other bills
were negatived by various committees

Following caucuses among the
democratic members Of the up
per house of legislature, which
began early in the afternoon ane
lasted until we'll after midnight,
the chances for the breaking OF
the deadlock in the senate ap.
peared much brighter, and pre-
dictions were freely ventured
that the democrats would event
ually secure control.
However. as a prominent dem
ocrat expressed it at an early hour
this morning, the situation was
changing with kaleidoscisjc regu.
larity and rapidity. Nevertheless,
there was much more hopeful
view of the outcome taken by a
majority of the democratic poll
ticians who fingered around the
lobby of the Placer hotel await
ing the outcome of the negotia-
tons which were going on be-
tween the four progressive solons
and the democratic toga Wearers.
Just after adjournment of the
senate at 1920 o'clock yesterday
morning a caucus call was circu-
lated among the democratic mem
hers for a meeting at 2 o'clock.
At that hour the situation was
gone over and adjournment was
taken until 5 O'Clock. There was
another conference at 10 o'colck.
While no definite information
was vouchsafcd by the senators.
it was stated by one solon that al
the late meeting the atmosphere
was decidedly more favorable to.
ward an organization by the dem |
ocrats than it hitherto had been,
and that the late conference had
been productive of results. He
stated, however, that the dead.
lock would not be broken this
morning.

the confidence Of both the bull
moosers and the democrats. and
he is urging that the deadlock be
broken in order that the legisDa
ture may get down to the per
Torrance of the business for
which they were sent to the SEN
ate.
AT the conference last evening
a committee of democratic sena-
tors waited upon the progressives

with the demand which the pro
gressives are making upon tn
democrats, namely, that they b.
given representatives on the com
mittee on committees.
The progressives have signed
an agreement. it is understood
to stick together to the last, anC
unless there are defections in
their ranks, or unless democrat
deserts to the republicans, Iegjs-
Iatlon will be Indefinitely held up.
Senator John Oliver of Fallon
county, against whom contest
has been filed, it is understood,
has stated that he will not desert
the ranks of the progressives not
withstanding the contest, which
is believed was started by the
republicans with a view of scar
ing him into deserving to the re-
republican side. The republicans
need but one to effect an organi-
zatiOn.
Eddy Booth of Baker, Fal|on
county, arrived in Helena yester.
day. 1t is understood that he
came for the purpose of furnish
ing information to the republi.
cans with reference to the alleged
irregularities in the election OF
Senator Oliver which were the
grounds upon which the contest
was brought. 1t is not improb-
able that the contest will be pla.
ced before the senate today or
tomorrow.
1t was rumored yesterday that
one of the senators who refused
t' make concessions to the pro-
gressives had yielded to the ap-
pea|s of those who believed this
program the most advisable, AND
in view of his prominence poIiti
cal'y. it is not unreasonable to-
expect that other members who
are holding out may take a SINH
ar course.
AT any rate. both progressives
and democratic leaders were
much encouraged over the pros
pect OF breaking the deadlock.
and 1t was freely predicted that
s'ther the progressives would &,

hat their interests would best
