TO INVESTIGATE PORK STORM HERE Stato Agent Reveals 30,000 Pounds, Much of Which Has Been Held 16 Months QUANTITY BRANDED UNFIT Thirty thousand poumli of pmk linvc ' been held In cold storage in Philadel phia warehouses from eleven to sixteen months. agent here, discovered the pork today, and turned over the fnets to Todd Dan lei, district superintendent or f.e Tnitcd States bureau of Investigation The pork Is packed in box" nnd be longs to two firms, the names of which have not yet been made publie One firm owni fill botes. This meat has been in storage for eleven months. It has one more month to go before Mr. Simmers "tags" it nnd declares it unfit for sale in Pennsylvania The de cision rests with the I'nited States dis trict nttornej's office ns to whether this pork shall be libeled nnd fired on the theory thnt, having been in storage o lone, there is a presumption it is hoarded food. Second I-ot Is "Tagged" The second lot of pork, consisting of twenty-five boxes, has been in fctorngc for sixteen months nnd has been "tagged" by the pure food agent Un less It is decided thnt the federal laws supersede the state laws making it il legal to sell food in storage mote than a year, these sixteen boxes will have to be disposed of clscwheic. The boxes of pork average from fifty to seventy-five pounds to the bot, hence the aggregate weight is in the neighbor hood of 30,000 pounds. It became known today tint one firm had sold 0000 pounds of meat, held in a local storage house, for "taukige " The meat will be cooked up verj much ns common garbage is cooked up, nnd the grease and other salnhle bv-products extracted. The residue will be sold as fertilizer. The sale of this meat for "tankage" was disclosed by Mr. Simmers, who also revealed an effort which the big meat dealers are making to literally "save their bacon " Daily, according to Mr. Simmers, the packers are taking tons of old meat out of storage, for fear the government will libel and seize it. Take Moat From Warehouses "I had notice only this morning of the shipment of a quantity of meat, which was taken out of one of the local warehouses," said Mr. Simmers. "In the last few days the packers have taken tons of meat out of btorage. This Is meat which cannot be sold in Pennsylvania." In a panic, fearing government ac tion, some of the packers are said to be consigning their aged food to them-i-elves in other cities outside the state. Quantities of this food have gone to seashoro points, there to be sold at ecn higher prices than prevail here. Mr Simmers stated today there had been ten more carcasses of cahes in the batch libeled li the government jes terdny which were not in the ware house when the federal agents nrrived with their writs. These ten calves, according to Mr. Simmers, had been sold to local butch ers "t located them all nfter half a daj spent telephoning," said Mr Simmers, "nnd served notice that If they were not taken back bv the seller I would make an nnct. The calves are now in the cooler of the firm that owns them. The stornge warehouse would not tnke them back " Approximated fifi.OOO pounds of fish ftored in the Philadelphia market dis trict will be dc-trojed because the owners have kept it in (old storage until it is beginning to dccn.v rather than put It on the open market and lower prices. The fi'h is stored at Seaside Heights, N. .1 , where some of it was taken more than a vear ago after Iievious storage in other plants. MRS.
