Harrisburg, May L1!. "Wet" aud
"drj" leaders claim thnt President Wil
son's recommendation to lift the ban
on the wartime prohibition law, which
was to go into effect .lulv 1 would have
no affect upon liquor legislation in the
Assembly.
While the liquor legislation has been
shelved nt the instigation of Governor
Sproul and the ntorney general, the
leaders of the opposing forces plan to
try to force action.
"I expect to call up my prohibition
enforcement bill nt n favorable oppor
tunity," said ,lohn W. Yickormnn.
leader of the "drys" in the House. "It
is going tn be passed. The state will
need siuh a law beginniug next year, no
matter what Congress does."
Representative William T. Tlamey.
the "wet" floor leader, also is optimis
tic. "My bill defining beverages contain
ing not more than 'Jlj ier cent alcohol
as being nonintnxicating, is not. nt
fo.ted in any way that I can see by the
action of the President. My bill would
not take affect until next .year nnd I
expect to call it up."

for hol'ding foodstuffs in storage and
contains other provisions, in Doctor
Lavvall's opinion, which nre "entirclj
in the interest of the cold storage
people."
"There has been no dissatisfaction
with the present law on the part of the
consuming public and no demand for a j
revision," said Doctor Lnwnll. ' Prices
would not be lowered by the passage of
the proposed1 law. but on the contrary,
unscrupulous dealers would get 'fresh'
prices for 'cold storage' goods in direct
competition with the farmer who sells
direct, and to the disadvantage of the'
honest merchant and the demoralization
of trade genernllv .
"I certainly feel that if the proposed
cold storage act goes upon the statute
books it will justify some of the mutter
ings nnd grumblings of the Rolslievists
and anarchists who are looking and
hoping for. just such retrogression nnd
injustice to the working man.
Rill of I PIT Cited
'Thrp ie inilfll phnnJ in" ilnna nvnn
act, and how the public would be tie
celved if the bars were entirely let
down, T can easily see. In many of the
features mentioned this net resembles
very closely the one which was presented
in 1)111 and xviucli was very properly
vetoed by Governor Biumbaugh. I have
no fear that, even if this act should
succeed in passing, Governor Sproul
will not take the same broad-minded
view of the public needs if the neces
sity nrises.
"The principal weakness of the pro
posed laxv, after nil, is the failure lo
protect the public in the matter of
markiug the package which reached the
consumer and placarding the goods ns
exposed for sale. Any cold storage act

valueless and serves the profiteers and
speculators, the liars and cheats who
arc still operating under the obsolete
slogan of 'caveat emptor,' instead of
'caveat vendor.'
"The flat increases of twelve months'
storage with a possible extension by
permission of the dairy and food com
missioner, Is purely lu the Interests of
speculation In foods, nnd this Is no
tlnin to permit an increase In nrorlteer-
J Ing if we are to malntnln the spirit of
our democracy, Then. too. this sec-
the fact that no mention is made of the
tion for further storage," might refer
to tanners' egg yolk or anything else
that you choose.
"The defect in the present law I
think should be remedied as to the
disposition of the food when it has
rcnrnc'1 its storage limit of time. I
think Buch food, If wholesome, should
be sold and not destroyed.
Other Criticisms Made
"Another bad feature of the proposed
bill is the failure to require the removal
f tnp entrails aud other offensive parts
f ii,,j ii ...i, . ', 1....1
of slaughtered animals, such as required
in section twelve of the present Inw.
"In section six, I see one of the
worst features of the proposed law in
the use of the word 'knowingly.' It is
my belief, based upon experience and
observation, that no convictions can bc
obtained under any law when the word
'knowingly' is Inserted in this way. and
if no convictions can be obtnined the
law might as xx ell be nonexistent, so
far as Its effect or force is concerned.
In our experience under the present law
this is a very Important feature nnd no
lowering of standards should be per
mitted in this respect.
"The last paragraph of section seven
is certainly amusing. Of what value is I
it to have goods which nre now in stor- 1
age, and properly stamped or marked
as required under the present lavv, dec
orated with the additional information
of the dnte when this proposed act goes
into effect, if it should pass? For nil j
the value it has toward protecting the
public from imposition or unwholesome
food, they might just as well requiic
that the pnekagrs be stamped with the
year of the discover) of America or the
date of the signing of the armistice.
"In section eight, there is much com
plicated plirnseology and a cry evident
attempt to weaken the present Inw.
which lias specific periods of time for
the storage of various types of food and
which. 1 may say. have not worked
any apparent hardship to the consumer.
