Show ATTACK IS MADE ON CANNERIES Goods of Pacific Coast Fruit and Vegetable Canneries Are Declared to Be Impure Im-pure and Unfit for Use. LONDON, Aug. 11. An attack on the fruit and vegetable canneries of the Pacific Pa-cific coast is made In a letter dated Los Angeles and signed Rudolph E. Schwlrin. which Is published In the Saturday Review Re-view this week. The writer declares that the goods from the canneries referred to are not quite all they are represented to be. "Copper, arsenic and sulphuric acid." he says, "are some of the Ingredients that enter Into the preparation of these goods, and what Is quite as objectionable is the practice of soaking the labels off old canned stock, often many years old. and Issuing the same under new covers as the season's latest packed." Mr. Schwlrin says that the .United States Inspectors' guarantees are worthless worth-less and that foreign nations should require re-quire that all Imports of these Pacific coast good be vouched for by their own Inspectors. The Saturday Review does not say who Mr. Schwlrin is. |
