Sex Legislation in Industry,

Miss Mary Anderson, chief Of the
Woman's bureau Of the Department Of
Labor. opposes recent proposals in
the United States Senate to remove
the woman's bureau from the Depart.
ment Of Labor and incorporate it in q
new department Of welfare. ut would
be another move toward sex leeisla-
ton, which we do not want" says
Miss Anderson.
The basis Of the oDosition among
woman leaders to this proposal and
the tendency it represents is sound.
Women do not wish to be segregated
tn politics and industry. That would
be false division, which would only
retard industrial and political growth.
It Is q tendency toward class iegisla.

The Seuate's District Bill.

In respect TO the leS1SldtlVe pIo'
visions, the bill for the District appro.
priations for the next fiscal year as
reported from the Senate committee
today IS decidedly satisfactory. 1t re.
stores the half-and-half provision Of
the act Of 1S7S, which was Interrupted
by the compromise sixty-forty plan
adopted last year as a temporary
measure Of dividing the cost Of capital
maintenance. It applies this ratio to
all appropriations carried in other acts
than the District bill. It provides for
the establishment Of what may be
called a revolving fund for District
maintenance by the advance Of moneys
necessary to meet appropriations from
the Treasury. to be reimbursed out Of
District revenues, thereby insuring
that any surplus Of one year may be
used to meet a deficiency Of District
tax income for previous year. This
at the same time would permit the
immediate meeting Of District needs.
even though the prospective District
tax revenues were not sufficient. Such
an arrangement, il adopted. will per.
init an even development Of the Dis.
trict without the restriction which the
law now imposes upon the Commits
sicners to confine their estimates
strictly to the estimated revenues Of
the capital municipality. The bill as
reported furthermore places the min
infum tax rate at one and one-half
Per cent.
The total of the bill, though liberal,
is not as large as the urgent needs Of
the District warrant. There are some
reductions from the House measure
aggregating $552,240. OF this amount
$253,00 is for school buildings and
grounds, which are provided for in .
separate plan Of appropriations In.
voIving the use Of the accumulated
District surpiuses now lying In the
Treasury, At the $3.50 ratio.
In this proposed use Of the District
surplus the bill II most gratifying.

plates the use of $s,27s.eee in all. half

Sus Chapter Of the bin IL $472.o 600,
which sum may perhaps Be the maxi.
mum that can practically be expended
during the next fiscal year. This fs
in any event a liberal increase over
the House provision for new schools
equipment. Various other needs are
met by this use Of the surplus: Parks,
$780, 600; municipal stables, asphalt
disposal plant. ETC., sen. .0o0; play
grounds, $14l,oo0; new building for

zation service of the California department of agr-
culture met with Pacific coast claim agents to
plain the new inspection service, and the agents
went record as being in favor of the movement.
At that meeting it was brought out that the
railroads pay great many unwarranted claims.
For instance, one of the railroads in the South paid
three-fourths of million dollars in claims on
product which was supposedly damaged by chilling
when it got to the terminal market The claims
were paid on the assumption that the damage
done in transit, but after payment was made an in
vestigation showed that the fruit showed the chilled
appearance in the field at harvesting time. The in
spector at the terminal market could not say where
the bad condition developed, and hence the neces-
sity of Shipping point inspection, the lack of which
railroads have always considered the weak point in
inspection service
When car is inspected by licensedainspector of
the California department of agriculture, the
tfcate of inspection is attached to the bill of lad
ing mailed to the consgnee. An attractive seal in
colors is being devised to put the doors and
on packages The grades and Technology used in
California by the state inspectors honored by
federal inspectors in all terminal markets where
inspection is made, and terminal market inspection

tion as that on which California's shipping point
inspection is made.

proper grades and STANDARDS Tor the
goods we inspect. We have got to es-
tablish common languagesabetwee
the shipper and receiver, and with
that in mind we got one of the spe-
cialists in standardization to come
out here from Washington to keep us
on the right track. At the beginning
of the vegetable season we worked
out what we thought were standard
terms for certain commodities. There
fore, when we call tomato mature
green on our certificates, we know
that the federal inspector in Chicago
will call tomato mature green on
the same basis. When we call
tomato pink we know that the fed
eral inspector in New York calls
tomato pink on the same basis. We
are working towards a set of terms,
from the ground up.
"We have got dollars-and-cents
proposition in this shipping point in
spection. We have got proposition
that saves the shippers money. We
do not believe it is a panacea for all
our ills. We probably will never han
die all the 100000 cars shipped out Of
the state-we have no ambitions in
that line. But we do believe the ship
ping point inspection service is Of de-
cided value on cars sold at this end
of the line, and on cars where the ship

silver platter. That is just what California has
done-sprung marketing stunt. After trying
it out last year, she is ready to tell the rest of the
country about it.
When firm in Philadelphia buys a car of I'M
perial valley cantaloupes f. 0. b. Imperial valley.
theoretically that firm takes all the risk in transit
to Philadelphia. Actually, though, unless an in
spection is made in California, or acceptance is
made in California, if the cantaloupes arrive in the
City of Brotherly Love in bad condition, there is
bound to be dispute as to whether the canta-
loupes were all right when they were shipped.
No matter whether the product is cantaloupes or
cabbages and the trip east to west or from north
to south, you see what is needed inspection at the
shipping point. California shippers that need,
too, and year ago the California department of
agriculture established shipping point inspection
of fruits and vegetables.
To see how it works out, let me cite this actual
instance: car of grapes shipped from Lodi,
CAL, f. o. b. Lodi, to Louisiana last summer The
grapes were sold for $2.25 lug. When the car
reached it's destination the buyer wired that the
grapes showed 20 per cent decay, and he must have
an allowance of 35 cents lug The shipper wired
back that the grapes were inspected by represen-
tative of the state department of agriculture that

RAILROADS FAVOR
THE PLAN ALSO

In the first three months after this
shipping point inspection was estab-
lished last year, 5000 cars of perish
able stuff were nspected-1,0 900 cars
a month-which is big job for a new
organization. In the Sebastopol apple
region practically the entire crop was
inspected at the shipping point. -Four
hundred sixty-five cars of Craven
stems went out Of that section bearing
certificates of inspection, and not
single car bearing certificate was
rejected!
Nor are the railroads afraid of this
plan, fearing that it will shift more
claims to the railroads. On the con-
trary, the railroads are keen for this
inspection service, because it will pre-
vent the payment of some unwarrant-
ed claims. Railroads want to know
the condition of produce when it is
loaded.

fcer prma facie evidence in another state, but by
tying up with the federal inspection service in the
way described above, the California people hope
that in time their inspectors will all be appointed
by the federal government and then the certificates
will eventually be prima face evidence all over the
country They accepted in courts as legal evil
dence outside of California, because they show that
a is inspected by trained, impartial man, which
is about as good evidence as anybody want.
WATCH THE PRODUCT ~
TILL CAR DOOR SEALED
The why this inspection service worked
well in California last year, and the reason it
holds out much promise for the future, is that
California had built the Observation-Disclosures
tion-before trying to build the inspection service
Grading and the use of standard grades, is at the
bottom of the whole thing. On top of that, the
product is under the eye of the inspector until the
is sealed.
"One difficulty with inspecting goods at the ship
ping point" says F. w. Read, specialist in charge
of standardization of the California department of
agriculture and right-hand man in putting this in
spection service over, "has been the necessity of
checking up the goods which packer claims
going into the car. We find it is necessary for
to be present when the door is shut in order
to that the actual goods inspected the floor
