FEME TO LEAD THE BUTTER FIGHT PEansylvania Senator Champion ot Dairy Interests. TO FOLLOW TARIFF VICTORY Republican Leader of the Keystone State to Lead the Forces of the Agricultural Interest* at the Next Session of the National Congress. [Special Correspondence.] Harrlßburg, Pa., Sept. 7. Reports from «very section of the state confirm the predictions that the farmers of Pennsylvania -would be found standing loyally by the Repub lican party In the present state cam paign. lu the framing of the tariff bill, which was recently passed at Wash ington, the interests of the farmers and dairymen ot' the Keystone State were carefully looked after by the Re publican representatives In congress, and by also conserving the welfare ol the wage earners and capitalists iden tified with great industrial concerns, the same Republican representatives promoted the general good. The farmers thrive when their fel low countrymen are employed at re munerative wages, for the great army of workers in the factories and mines and in commercial life are the pur chasers of the products of the farms. From every quarter comes the news ol' revival of business and the relight ing of the fires.of the coke ovens and the furnaces of great manufacturing plants as the direct result of the pas saae of a Republican tariff bill. To Lead Fight For Farmers. Senator Penrose, who filled a most important role as a leading member of the United States senate's finance committee in drafting the tariff act, had the hearty co-operation of his col league. the junior United States Sena tor George T. Oliver, and every one of the Republican members of the house from Pennsylvania. Now that the tarilT Issue has be*n settled prominent factors among the grangers and the dairymen of this state have inaugurated a movement for national protection for the butter makers against the sale of oleomar garine and other similar products in Imitation of butter. As he did in the tariff agitation. Senator Penrose has come to the front as the champion of the dairy interests of his native state and the country at large cs well. lie has recognized the numerous de fects in federal statutes which govern the manufacture and sale of oleomar garine, butterine, renovated or pro cess butter and adulterated butter and he has agreed to co-operate with the prominent leaders of the Orange, Pure Butter Protective Association, the National Dairy Union and kindred agricultural organizations that wish to see these evils corrected at the ses sion of the Sixty-first congress, which convenes in December next To Draft a New Bill. Senator Penrose has requested a committee of the State Orange of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania state department of agriculture and the Pure Butter Protective association of Pennsylvania, with A. H. Woodward, of Clearfield, and Assistant United States Attorney Walter C. Douglas, Jr.. as attorneys, to prepare a bill which Senator Penrose will introduce as soon as congress shall reconvene. Senator Penrose says the defective character of the national laws works great injury to dairymen, farmers, merchants and consumers. The pro posed measure is to be drafted with the greatest care, and while It will not prevent the legal manufacture and sale of oleomargarine and other but ter substitutes. It will certainly pre vent the sale of these products for butter,. Farmers, dairymen and all fair minded people do not object to the manufacture and sale of oleomarga rine for what it Is, but they do very properly oppose the marketing of thta commodity as the genuine product of the cow. Statistics from the Pennsylvania de partment of agriculture show that about 90 per cent of oleomargarine sold at retail Is represented by the venders to be pure butter. Deception of this kind Is a great detriment to the dairyman, and It also enables unscrupulous dealers to de fraud consumers'who are Induced to pay a price for oleomargarine consid erably in excess of its real market value. it Is held that the word "knowingly" should be omitted from the oleomar- ; garine laws because in many cases it I has been found impossible to secure convictions on account of Inability to | prove that the offender knowingly vio- ; lated the law. It Is also held that the ■ definition of oleomargarine should be ; so changed tha* butter, with or with- ! out coloring natter, could not be used j in Its manufacturr". and that stamp 3 j should be vls"ie and a record kept of | the serial i:::.abers so that every pack age may be traced to the dealer or manufacturer.
