Pure food bill eyed as time tight in Senate
Washington, Jan. 16. The Senate may take up pure food legislation if time allows. A substitute to the Hepburn bill would define adulterated and misbranded foods and drugs, prohibit interstate traffic in such goods, and charge the Agricultural Department with enforcement duties. Senator McCumber notes the measure’s modest scope, but the Senate press for time hinders passage. John W. Ivey, Alaska's volunteer representative, pushes for liberal land laws and infrastructure aid for Alaska through Senator Mitchell.
