Senator McKel1er Says His
Measure Is Certain Means
of Reducing High Cost of

PROPOSED IN 1913
Storage System Is Charac-
terized as Most Outrage
Gus Piece of Profiteering
to Be Imagined"

Washington, Aug. 13.--Federal reg.
! ulation of cold storage of food was
! urged in the senate today by Sena-
tor McKellar, democrat, of Tennes-
see. as a certain means OF reducing the
cost of living. and as the only rem
edy for the most outrageous piece of
profiteering that can be imagined
Speaking in support of his bin. first
introduced ia 1913 and now re-intro-
duced before the senate interstate
commerce subcommittee considering
high cost OF living recommendations of
in cold storage, Senator McKsllir
said il the bill had been passed in
1913 he felt sure the present condi-
tions as TO excessive living cost would
not exist.
The meat packers were charged by
the Tennessee senator with using cold
storage facilities 90 fix food prices--.----
1T IL belng used by the packers"
he said, 'for the purpose of controls
ing prices. As used by the packers

permits them to withhold sue hlarge
quantities Of foodstuffs from the mar
ket as to make a season OF scarcity
at any time they see fit and thus they
increase the price to the consuming
public"
Explaining his bill, Senator Nickel
lar said il would limit the time foods
could be held in cold storage and has
been vigorously opposed by the pack
ers.
Heretofore I have been unable to
get any action on this BILL" said Mr..
Mcclellan, but / am constrained to
believe that under existing conditions
we will get action at this time. My
bin does not fetter cold storage in
any way. but 1t regulates it so that
the people can get the very best bene.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Municina]
ownership is the only solution to the
American street railway problem. the
control of private lines having broken
down. Lelos f. Wilcox, a New York
franchise expert. told the federal cleo
tric commission today He said there
is no escape from the logic OF con-
ditio1s pointing to the handling of
urban transportation as an essential
Of public service and not for private
profit.
Final solution OF the street railway
problem can come only when a power
to regulate wages OF street car en-
ployes as well as fares is created. the
federal street railway commission was
told today by w. c. Bliss. chairman
of the Rhode Island public utilities
commission The time is approaching
rapidly. he said. when mere increases
in fares will no longer solve the fl
nancial difficulties Of the roads.
Mr.. Bliss said the taxes paid by the
principal Rhode Island trolley com
pany in 1913 were ten per cent of its
gross earning. this being exclusive Of
the cost to the company OF repairs to
pavements and similar charges. 1t
was unfair, he said, to impose this en-
tire burden upon street car passengers
or upon tax payers generally as both
classes shared in the advantages aris-.
ing from adequate transportation.
Commissioner Bliss said primary con-
troll of trolley matters should be vested
in state bodies to avoid the selfish
interests and artificial boundaries OF
the municipal communities.
