FOES OF PURE FOOD
ATTACK THE HEYBUEN BILL
IN THE SENATE.
Humane Society Trying to Block the
Long Shipment of Stock With
out Feed or Water-
It
Washington, D. C, Feb. 12. Spec
ial Correspondence. The foes of the
Pnre Food law have showed their
hands iu the senate by introducing
a measure striking out all bnt the
enacting clause of the Hey burn bill
preparatory to substituting for it
bill prepared by the National Food
Manufacturers' Association. Now a
national pure food law has been long
and urgently needed. It touches
every man, woman and child in the
country, especially the children an
it is a law tbat no hottest mannfac
tnrer has any thing to fear from.
has been urged by all state food
authorities and by all of the agri
cultural colleges of the country. The
Heyburn bill was drawn under expert
advice to fill this particular need and
it put the execution of the law into
the bands of the department of agri
culture where it would be enforced,
It also made the department of com
meroe and labor, the treasury de
partment and the department of just
ice parties to its administration. It
was not a measure that any nianu
facturer of impure food liked, aud aa
they did not dare to fight it in the
open, they have prepared a substitute
which will be so plaoed that it is like
ly to die of inanition. The substitute
measure'while on the face of it more
drastic even than the Heyburn bill,
leaves a beautiful outlet lor every
retail dealer in tulsbranded and ad
ulterated foods by requiring that the
label and the name of the shipper
shall appear only on the box or crate
in which the goods are shipped and
not on the packages sold to the con
sumer. It also provides against pub
lishing the names of! firms misbrand
ing and adulterating foods and thus
fobs the law of the greatest cf all
safeguards, namely publioity. The
measure has not yet come to a vote.
But there is bound to be a lively
fight, and the manufacturers have
strong lobby engaged in trying to push
their measure through.
Shippers of live cattle who would
gladly make an extra penny out of
the sufferings of their dumb victims,
have encountered a strong obstacle
iu the house in the shape of the Hn
mane Societies which are trying to
block what would be a disgraceful in
human law. Cattle shippers are lim
ited by statute to 28 hours as the
longest haul to which' they can sub
ject stock without rest, food or water,
This law was for years a dead letter.
But It has been enforoed by Secretary
Wilson for two years past and the
shippers are feeling the pinch of it
They are now trying to get the time
extended so that tbey can haul cattle
86 hours without rest, food or water,
claiming blandly that the cattle suffer
less in this way than through the ad
ditioual handling. to which they would
be subjected were more f requeut stops
made. . This is pure sophistry and is
designed to make the run just as long
as it can be made without losing on
the weight of the beasts shipped.
Their sufferings are nothing. It is
merely a questiou of making the'great
est possible profit out of tbem. If
the deoeut minded men and women
who are urging a reduction instead of
an extension iu the feeding time have
their way, it will result either iu the
shippers beiug forced to put on cattle
cars with feeding and watering at
tachments or better still in moving
the slaughter bouses from Omaha aud
Chioago nearer to the cattle raising
centers. The beef trust is largely in
different to the outoome of tho fight.
It does not have to pay for shipping
the cattle and if the extra expenses to
the seller forces the trust to pay a tri
fle more for beef, it will come out of
the consumer's pocket auyhow. Of
course should the slaughter house
have to be moved, it would entail
some additional expense that would
have to be made up out of the seller
aud the consumer combined. But the
questiou of the humanity or the in
humanity involved is a mere detail
that would never have received a
thought bad not this ngbt beeu forced
by tho Humane Societies in tho com
mittee of the house.
Representative Sulzer of New York
has touched on a very sore spot with
the goverumeut by introducing a res
olution for investigating the deal by
which the old custom house iu New
York was sold to the National City
Bank eight years ago for a mere song
aud iu virUe of which the government
has been paying rent ever since for
the old building. Tho bauk has
never paid out a cent for it aud has
dodged the taxes ou the property by
lettiug the deal still rest iu the bauds
of the goverumout. This is not tbe
first time that this transaction has
been brought up, but it is an ever ten
der subject and if forced this time to
au investigation is likely to uucover a
pret'y scaudal It will be remember
ed tbat the price was ridiculously low
in the first place. The property was
sold to the bauk for $3,865,000 when
experts valued it at nearly flO,
000,000. It has beeu appreciating iu
vnlno every raiuute since. The bauk
is a big depository of goverumeut
funds, aud it paid for tho building ,
simply by transferring tbe purchase
figures from one book to another with
out ever paying out cent of real
money. Even then it held back 150,
000 of the purchase price, so tbat tbe
deed has never been recorded, tbe re
sult being tbat tbe bauk has never
had a cent of taxes to pay ou the prop
erty. Meantime itahas been receiving
$130,000 a year rent for tbe building
so that by the time the new custom
bouse is completed, wbiob will still
be some years hence, it will about
have received tbe price of the building
back in rent and will have tbe im
mensely valuable plot of ground
through a process of high finance that
it is difficult for a common person to
appreciate. It will not have bad to
spend a penny for it. A thorough iu
vestigation tbat would turn tbe light
of publicity on tbe whole transaction
is to be devoutly hoped for but scarce
ly to be expected.
