Cold Storage Meat Held
Months Longer Than
Federal Law Permits

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.-WhiIe state
and city representatives of the Fed
eral food administration have been
holding conferences with food deal
ers and issuing price lists in an effort
TO cut down the high cost of living in
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, hun
dreds of thousands of pounds of
beef, pork and poultry have been
held in cold storage houses in this
city for months beyond the period
permitted by the state cold storage
law.
This was the information given
out yesterday by r. NJ. SINNERS, spe-
cial agent of the State Food and
Dairy Department
Jay Cooke, who became Federal
food administrator for Philadelphia
county only few days ago, refused
to discuss the situation disclosed by
Mr.. SINNERS. He said that it was
now before the authorities in W2sh-
ington. Mr.. SINNERS said he had
made a report of the conditions he
had found in the storage houses here
to the food administration in Wash
ington.
Some time ago Howard Heinz,
state food administrator, had con-
ference with James Foust, Commits
SiOASi VI thS Sldle larry anu fOOu
Department, concerning the cold
storage situation in the state. At
that time he refused to give out any
figures as to holdings of food, saying
that Mr.. Foust had furnished stGtis-
tics as to only two counties and had
not reported concerning Philadelphia.
When Mr.. Foust returned to Harris
burg he said that he had given the
administrator "all the figures in my
possession" Mr.. Heinz at that time
said that his reason for Withholding
the figures was that he wished to
wait until statistics for the entire
state were available.
The law allows beef to be held for
four months. Mr.. SINNERS said, and
some beef in this city has been in
cold storage for eight and nine
months. A similar situation exists
as to poultry with the exception of
turkeys, he said.

State Grange Demands
Bone Dry Law as
First Aid to War

Williamsport, Pa, Dec. IL. - The
grangers of Pennsylvania want prohi-
btion as a war measure. In stirring
resolution adopted by the 100 grang-
ers at the state convention meeting
here, the grange sent greetings to the
National Anti-Saloon League in session
at Washington and pledged its strong
est support in an effort to secure pro-
hibition as a war measure and perma-
nent policy. The resolution was pass
ed unanimously amid great enthusi-
asm. 1t was presented by w. u. Ross,
of Lackawanna county.
The grange will make a strong eff
fort to determine the source of a
statement printed in certain news
papers to the effect that the farmers
wives of the state canned less food
than usual this summer and had al
lowed much to waste. This statement
was branded as a falsehood. DR.. Har-
riet Lyons, chairman of the household
economics committee, urged that
every means be used to prove the
falsity of the charge and the organi-
zation went on record condemning the
circulation of such reports as unfair
and unpatriotic.
The Rev. G.. w. Hatch, of Mahaffey,
state chaplain of the order. demanded
the establishment of a high school in
every township in PENNSYLVANIA.
