Mr.. Wilson says that no shoddy in
clothing is sold as shoddy, but It is
sold under the same name as Vir-
gin Wool, providing the opportunity
and inducement for manufacturers
and distributors to sell shoddy as
Virgin Wool in cloth and clothes.
The Capper-French Truth in Fab
ric" bill puts a stop to this practice
by making 1t compulsory to identify
shoddy:
Senator Capper, one of the lead
ers of the Farm Bloc in Congress,
said that there are various pieces of
legislation in which the Agricultural
Bloc is directly interested, but that
there is probably none more import
ant than the Truth in Fabric" bill.
which the Agricultural Bloc contem-
plates pushing vigorously at the re-
gular session Of Congress.
Mr.. Wilson stated that a group
of representatives of important organ
izatlons, both state and natioanl, In
Guiding the powerful farm organiza-
tons, met in Washington and signed
a petition which was presented to
President Harding. bringing to his
attention the fraud that is now per-
petrated on the public as the result
of permitting purchasers to believe
shoddy is Virgin Wool. and pointing
out to the President that the power
fur interests that directly or indirect
Ily profit by shoddy's counterfeiting

ress the same old excuses, alleged to
be reasons, for not enacting the
Truth in Fabric" bill that we're urg-
ed against the Pure Food laws by the
interests that proflted by the sale OF
substitute food and drugs as the
genuine.
The President, In this petition, is
earnestly requested to exercise every
proper influence within his province
to accomplish the swift enactment OF

give space to few words on fire
