Michigan Congressman Would Stop Adulteration of Cloth Including Leather
Washington, May 10.-Charging that seventy-five per cent of the clothing sold in the United States is adulterated, Representative Linquist of Michigan introduced a new bill today providing for the manufacture of pure fabrics and leather. He says that the government has a bill which provides that all food sold must be pure and thinks clothing should be the same.
The bill provides that all goods taken out of the factories must be fumigated before being put on the market. Representative Linquist declared that there is hardly any leather or fabric which is not adulterated in some manner. He also said that the government goods are all inspected and thinks those of the public should be treated likewise.
