The Senate Committee of California

The Senate Committee of California appointed to inquire into high prices, found in their investigations in San Francisco March 4 that as many as a hundred tons of fresh fish were used in the manufacture of glue. Because the fish trust could not get its price, it turned the fish over to the glue factory. This is only a sample of what has been done by the commission men in San Francisco in years past. Sometimes they have refused food for the actually poor and needy, and thrown it into the bay rather than either to give it away or to sell at reduced price.
