TndEsREPUBLIcAN MARsHALLTowN, FEBRUARY

where accidents have occurred to rail-
road employees the railroad companies
have set up the defense that theyiwere
engaged In Interstate traffic and were
therefore not liable to state worlSmen's
compensation laws. OF late, however,
a number Of states have ruled that the
railroads were liable in non negligent
cases and have required compensation
on those grounds. This has been the
ruling Of the Iowa commission and os
the attorney generals office. Other
states have ruled that the railroads
are not subject to the workmen's COM
lpensations law. In order to clear up
any question as to the liability in
such cases the new provision has been
proposed by Senator Kenyon at the
suggestion Of Commissioner Funk and
its prospects for passage are excel
lent.
Commissioner Funk yesterday sus-
tanned the finding Of the arbitration
committee in the case of Myrtle NJ
Walker, Of Des Moines, against the
Des Moines Union. Mrs. Walker
brought a case before the commission
to secure compensation for the death
Of her husband in an accident in the
Des Moines Union roundhouse She
was awarded compensation at the rate
Of 1928 per week for n period of 800
weeks and burial expenses to the
amount Of 500. This award was made
while Warren Garst was commits
sioner and the railroad company petit
toned for a review Of the case. 1t
came on for a hearing Feb. and now
the former ruling has been sustained.
In this case the railroad COmpany
claimed the law did not apply as the
company was engaged in interstate
traffic when the accident occurred.

FRACTIONAL STRENGTH LEMON

STATE FOOD INSPECTORS
TO ENFORCE RULING
Order Goes Out From Commissioner
Barney's offics-Merohants Given

Extract Held to Be Violation Of Law.

SpeCldt yfIO IIIHtS-ISSpuDlNStH.
Des Moines. Feb. 15.-Fractional
strength lemon extract can not be
sold In Iowa after May 1, according to
ruling made today by the state food
and dairy department. Any so-called
fractional strength extract which is on
sale in Iowa after that date will be
seized by the inspectors of the food
and dairy department and declared
misbranded.
This step has been decided on by the
state food and dairy department after
much deliberation. The department
now takes the position that these ex-
tracts do not comply with the food
laws which fix a standard for lemon
extract and turpineless extract and
that they are therefore illegal. In
order to give an opportunity to all
dealers handling these products to
clean up their stock the department
has set May as the final date before
prosecutions will be started.
Since the state went dry there has
been great deal of trouble over frac-
tional strength lemon extract. Re-

want to handle this product, as it is
apt to put them in the bootlegger
class. Many appeals have been made
to the dairy and food department to
rule out the product. Commissioner
Barney called conference some time
ago, of manufacturers and dealers in
extracts and the sale of this product
was given fun consideration. Com
missioner Barney pointed out that his
department is not organized to prose-
cute any violation of temperance laws.
The only laws it can enforce are those
relating to foods and dairy products.
He pointed out. however, that the food
laws fix standards for lemon extract
and turpineless lemon extract and de-
clared that these fractional strength
extracts do not comply with the law.
He advised the dealers and manu-
