1IRY ENFORCEMENT
BILL AMENDMENT
House Conferees Accept Senate Cider
And Light Wines Item; Burden of
l'roof* *
? X: gton, Sept.. lii.?The princi
p.. ' :.j;c amendment liberalizing the
pr? ? ion enforcement bill, to permit
i'i.? i..auu?ucture for individual con
-r.U;> ion of "non-intoxicating" cider
ali i iijcht wines, was accepted late to
day ' v i be House conferees and placed
Dually in the bill subject to action on
ihe conference report.
0;her disputes between the Senate
and House conferees went over tem
?por.-riiy. probably until, latc-this week,
when a complete agreement is ex
pected. Enactment of the bill prob
ably will be delayed until next week.
New Transportation Provision.
In adopting the Senate amendment
nniii irniiifi lii.i, gvii^iniiliUfliJ. i .in
and cider for domestic use, conferees
today added a further liberalizing pro
vision permitting transportation of
"non-intoxicating" ciders and wines
for the purpose of conversion into
vinegar. ~ r
The principal controversy1 yet to be
settled is over the "burden of proof'
in the case of persons found intoxica
ted. The House conferees, It is said,
are insisting that the burden of proof
should be upon defendants, while the
Senate conferees are reported to hold
the opposite view.
hVTIKS OF FA IK
PRICE COMMITTEE
From the letter below the public and
business twill learn the duties imposed
upon the Fair Price Committee of
Franklin County and it is to be hoped
that they will co-operate with the com
mittee in bringing about a desirable
market condition.
Sept. 16. 1919.
To tli? Ch&frin&n of the Fair
Price Committee:
Dear Sir:
The telegram fron> Attorney General
Palmer, copy of which should be in
your possesion, outlines pretty clear
ly t hi- purpose ol the Fair Price Com
mittee.
You are a legal body and have the
right fo investigate excessive profits
in your town.
It is anticipated that correction of
most of t lu xe cases of profiteering may
be afccom p li.-dnd under your direction,!
but if you find aggravated cases you
will report the details to me for the I
use of the Department of Justice in |
prosecution.
I be? to suggest that you secure all
the publicity possibro for the purposes
you expect to accomplish. I believe
a campaign? of publicity against cx
Iravagance and unnecessary purchases
will be productive of results. Rebuke
fV. ry case you find where merchants
urge inwnediate purchasing on state
ment that future prices will be higher.
We are sure this is nf>l true, and it
is aft unfair campaign and should he
rebuked by your Committee. ;
It is my oi^irion that the percentage
PtiggcHtcri in my former letter for food,
men's clothing, and shoes are reason
able maximums and should not be ex
ceeded. There aro some lines of fan
cy goods and women's furnishings
that may take possibly a higher mar
gin.
The amendment to the Lever Act has
passed the Senate and is now in con
ference and will probably become ef
fective within a day or two. I will at
that time send you some notes on the
Law. its scope and its enforcement.
In the meantime, I hope you will get
your Committee busy to prevent the
exaction of excessive profits on food,
clothing, shoes and fuel.
Very truly yours,
HENRY A. PAGE,
Federal Food Administrator
for North Carolina.
