Senate Votes For Bill Regulating Packing Industry
Washington June 17 The Senate approved the packing industry regulation bill 45 to 21, sending it back to the House for conference. The House had passed a similar measure after days of debate, with amendments shifting authority between the secretary of agriculture and a federal regulator. The Kenyon amendment requiring records and uniform accounting teeth was praised by supporters as strengthening the bill while another change aimed to remove small butchers from regulation. Wisconsin Senator La Follette supported the House version after amendments improved its acceptability.
