EFFECT BY WAR Food Industry Benefit Unless Conflict Is Long CHICAGO Sept George A Eastwood new president of Armour Co believes tha European war will have relatively little effect upon the food industry in the United States unless the fighting continues for two or more years The successor to Robert Cabell as head of one of the largest businesses said he considered American chief advantage in the present crisis "the experience of a comparatively recent Mr Eastwood disclosed he had been studying results of the World War of 1914-18 and the effect upon industry and that he had undertaken similar analysis of the present conflict the last he said The benefits of the meat packing industry were slight during the first couple of years A sharp upturn in business got under way in 1916 but -the full effects of It didn't become1 apparent until 1917 and 1918 and: even 1919 The food Industry Is not affect- ed in war time to the same degree as other industries During a wari Truhu All Silk Crepe people eat only a little more than they do in normal periods whereas the products of the steel mills and many other industries are destroyed and must be replaced However I should say that the story of the i I past indicates an ultimately great- er demand for meat products than exists Armour's new chief worked his way to the presidency from an of- I fice job in Albany That's one big reason

of 31 Memphis meat dealers charged with selling adulterated ground meat will be delayed several days due to a ruling of Judge 5rigg Moore of Davidson County eneral Sessions Court in the trial of a similar case here Judge Moore held that the law governing prosecution of such cases authorized prosecution only upon authority of the State Health Commissioner Asked Blanket Authority Dr Fuqua state chemist abd director of the Division of Foods Fertilizer and Dairies of the State Department of Agriculture said he had asked for blanket authority in prosecuting the cases and anticipated no difficulty in getting it The 1923 Reorganization Act changed the act so we did not have to obtain this Dr Fuqua said when the code was compiled a few years ago the codifiers failed to copy one word which changed the entire meaning of the section This development means that' where warrants have been issued for dealers charging them with selling adulterated meat our inspectors will have to go back and swear out new warrants after we get the health commissioner's letter That should be simple and doesn't mean that prosecution will be dropped only I Twenty Have Been Filed Dr Fuqua also said he bad writ- ten State Atty Gen Roy Beeler asking an opinion as to the status of the cases already tried in view of Judge ruling Some 20 Memphis dealers have already pleaded guilty and been fined On warrants issued without specific authority of the health 1 commissioner 'Dr Fuqua originally had planned to go to Memphis next week to prosecute the remaining 31 cases there 1 1 1 IMMIGRATION OFFICE BUSY
