Show 1 plete report during the present session. ses-sion. Mr. Halo spoke la appreciation of tho fact thnt there was a likelihood of even a partial roivort during the present pres-ent session He turned then to tho contemplation of the possibilities in connection with fall polltlca. "These questions will moot Us at home." he said, "and they will be agitated agi-tated In sympathy with the congressional congres-sional elections. I trust we may count oti the, committee to supply ua with much valuable material such an all of us may find dRlrable between now and nvt November." Senator Bacon deprecated the sug-pebtlon sug-pebtlon of the Maine senator. Ho bad not supposed the Information was to ho elicited merely for the purpose of supplying election material. Mr. Halo agreed with Mr. Bacon's high estimate of the purpoxej 0f th? committee, but nt the same time he said he realized It would be Impossible to prevent the use of the material In tho campaign. Mr. lyidgc said that If there was any polltlca in the cost of living inquiry he had not discovered tho fact. He could not say what conclusion the committee would reacn or whether the public would agree with tho committee's commit-tee's findings . LIMIT TO TIME OF COLD-STORAGE "Washington, April 7 A limit should he put on the use of cold storage stor-age for the purpose of maintaining or advancing prices artificially. This Is the judgment of the senate cost-of-living committee, and Chairman Lodge today Introduced In the senate a bill to meet the recommendations. In presenting the bill, Senator Lodge said: "Under the resolution of the senate, sen-ate, the senatorial commission, to Inquire In-quire Into wages and prices of commodities, com-modities, was given authority to make recommendations. In pursance of that authority tho committee now desire to Tecommend to the senate legislation limiting the time during which perishable per-ishable articles of food may be held In cold storage. From such investigation investi-gation as the committee has thus far been able to make, It is satisfied some time limit ought to be put on cold storage for tho purpose of maintaining or advancing prices artificially. It is of the opinion this limit of time will tend to an equalization of prices and. In some cases, to a reduction. "The Investigation of this subject Is not completed, but It has proceeded far enough to confirm, by the results thus far obtained, the view taken by the committee. "The question of tho public health Is not within the jurisdiction of your commltteo charged with the investigation investiga-tion Into wages and prices. The committee com-mittee has, no doubt, however, that limitation of the time during which perishable articles of food and, more especially meat products, may be retained re-tained In cold storage would le hy-genlcnlly hy-genlcnlly of very great value and would tend to check many physical troubles which are thought by thoso who have examined the ouestlon to d sttrlbuUhle to the practice of keeping keep-ing meats, particularly in storage for a very long time." Mr. Idge'n LIU will provide that food kept In cold storage for more than one year should bo considered as adulterated and that any food taken out of cold storage and erroneously marked as to the time It had been In storage fhould be regarded its rals-branded rals-branded in violation of the pure food laws. The commltteo, through Mr. Lodge, also asked the senate for Instructions In the matter of continuing the Investigation Inves-tigation Into the cost of living. It vroj estimated that four months would be required to complete tho work and that it would necesslta'e an expenditure of Jf.5,000. The outline of the suggeHled plan was In great detail.
