THE OREGON ' DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1911. 18 7 CONSUMERS LEAGUE BACKS DR. WILEY; L NOT BE SCARED Attempt to Throttle Official in Fight on Adulterated Food, - , Condemned. The Consumers league of Portland " baa taken up the cudgels In behalf of Dr. Wiley, food expert at Waawngton, -whose scalp Is Bald to be desired by T : Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson. The league, whose membership Is made up from the most prominent and public spirited women in Portland, among them being Mrs. A. E. Rockey, Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett. Mrs. W. B. Ayer, and Mrs. Henry Russell Talbott. I has adopted resolutions condemning what is termed the persecution of Dr. Wiley, and it is ready. If necessary, to t send a representative to Washington to testify as to the value of Dr. Wiley's vork In protecting the people of Ore gon and the west against manufacturers Of adulterated foods. The league has adopted as Its own a statement made toy Alice .Lakey, chairman bf the pure , food committee, ' National Consumers' league, which. in part reads: "Cant Be cared." ? "The present controversy between Dr. v Wiley and the secretary of agriculture ' is not merely a difference between two officials of this government. It is far more than that. "Behind Dr. Wiley and his loyal co ' workers stand nearly 90.000,000 con- sumers, who have found In him an of ficial faithful to their interests and one who can neither be "bought' nor 'scared.' "If Dr. Wiley were allowed to enforoe " the pure food law as It was Intended " It should be enforced when first It was ' enacted not alone the consumer but the honest manufacturer of foods and drugs would be protected. The consumer would be protected from the evils of poisoned, adulterated, mlsbraded and harmful foods, drugs, liquors and med " Iclnes; the honest manufacturer would be protected from unfair and unjust ' Competition In business, i "Behind Secretary Wilson and the men who Ao his bidding stand the enor-1 tnmia forces of commercial greed. "At the Denver convention In 1908 of the association state and national food' and dairy departments. Secretary Wilson forced the association to vote In favor of sodium bewoate, thereby making It reverse Its vote against the v drug of the year prevloua Aids Special Interests. "The referee board was created through the Influence of Secretary Wll- son. He has recently stated, I want you to understand that the referee board was organised and put Into action for the purpose of conserving the ln- terests of the manufacturer." He might have gone a step further and said It was created for the purpose of nelplng a few 'special Interests' to evade the law. " 'a "The referee board decided against the use of saccharin in foods but here we have another Illustration of how fertile i In resources Secretary Wilson Is when a 'business' Is Interfered with. "The saccharin manufacturers and others. It is stated, appealed to the secretary against the decision which Juad been already issued. "it was promptly rescinded and per mission was given to these men to continue In the use of a drug which Is injurious to health for another six months. Have w any eertalnty that this permission will not be extended In definitely (If Secretary Wilson is still In office) T "Six years have elapsed since the - s v i 'j 1 3 Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry. food and drugs act became operative. In that time no rulings have been made for the labeling of malt liquors. . 'A hearing has at last been set at Wash ington. Meantime it Is announced that Secretary Wilson Is the honorary pres ident of the international congress of brewers to be held in Chicago next October. "The consumer recalls that one firm of manufacturers was able to secure permission to label their product 'corn syrup' when it Is not a syrup but Is glucose. One recalls that the law has never been enforced as to the labeling of polished rice. "It was supposed that the pure rood law was passed to protect the consumer from the evils of adulterated foods, drugs, eta Judging from con cessions granted to certain manufac turers It would appear that the law was enacted for them, as has been claimed by the attorney for a certain 'whiskey' firm. Where Dr. Wiley Stands. "Dr Wiley stands for the consumer and the honest manufacturer. "Secretary Wilson stands for the 'spe cial Interests.' "Which man is of the most importance to the American people? Will the pub lic voice its a'pproval of Dr. Wiley's splendid work for the consumer by send ing telegrams to President Taft and letters protesting against the removal of Dr. Wiley from offioeT "Incidentally a suggestion that the resignation of Secretary Wilson would be 'good for the service' might hasten the dawn of a better day for the con sumer. "The public is tired of 'seeing the pure food law betrayed into the hands of Its enemies and made a sham and. a humbug. "Give the consumer the protection that the law provided for him before It was weakened and emasculated through the concessions granted to the 'special Interests' by the help of Sec retary Wilson. "Olve the consumer the protection that the rigid enforcement of the law as planned -by Dr. Wiley will afford." HATCH PUNCHES BRING FREE RIDES Alleged Swindler of Railroads to Be Rearrested at " Centralia. (SpccUl to Tb Journal.) Centralia, Wash., Aug. 21. W. J. . Murray, chief detective of the Great Northern railway, was In Centralia r yesterday conferring with Sheriff i Urauhart In regard to rearresting R. R. ' Boyer, the short change artist and hat ' check swindler, who was convicted some time ago for short changing the ticket agent at the local depot, and whose sentence will expire the ffrst of the ' month. Before short changing the local 7 agent Boyer Is believed to have worked .: a similar trick In Taeoma, and later on f a Great Northern train, and It Is for the i latter alleged offense and for using ' counterfeit hat checks that Murray wishes to rearrest him. When first ar rested in Portland Boyer had a set of , punches In his possession with which to make hat checks. The conductors were finding hat checks for which they could not account, and the arrest of Boyer . partially solved the mystery, but It Is : believed that the man has Imitators. It was decided to arrest Boyer the mln . ute his sentence expires and take him to Tacoma to stand trial. WOULD-BE GALLANT IS HOLD-UP VICTIM Toltd Preaa Lm4 Wlra.l Klttannlng. Pa., Aug. 21. While C.

GIS That there Is a "hoodoo" of some nature hovering over her while she Is In Portland Is' the opinion of Miss Tiny Broadwlck, the U-y ear-old girl balloon ist with the Broadwlck family at the Oaks. Sunday afternoon 'Miss Broad wlck essayed a triple parachute drop at the big amusement park, but d sudden wind squall drove- her big balloon against the trees.

Oth er night ascensions will be made on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of this week at 8:80, "and Saturday ' afternoon Miss Tiny Broadwlck .will again essay a triple dropffroni the clouds.
