ALTER GILBERT CAMP- BELL, the new chief of the bureau of chemistry, isnot & chemist, but he is a proven organizer and executive, who has carried out the findings of the scientists in the bureau in a way that has won the confidence and co-opera- tion of the food and drug manufac- turers, while protecting the consum- ers as a primary purpose. This “pure f0od” agency of the fed eral government, made famous by Dr. chief of police—in fact, he organized the police force—and has been in charge of the enforcement work for about fifteen years. This enforcement work | now comprises about 90 per cent of all : the activities of the bureau. Started in Small Way. ‘The bureau of chemistry was originally established in the United States De- partment of Agriculture, with a staff of four or five men, in 1862, for the study of chemical probiems pertaining to agri- culture, as well as_those of the indus- tries utilizing agricultural products. Secretary Henry C. Wallace is quite de- termined to emphasize this function and to develop the service of icultural chemistry scientifically. He seeking W. G. CAMPBELL. for an exceptional chemist to take charge of this proposed development. Realizing, however, that the business interests affecterd by the enforcement of the food and drug act, and the public which this act protects, have the utmost confidence in Mr. Campbell through fifteen years of proven scrvice and, ap- preciating that his knowledge of the law is of the utmost value in the adminis- tration of the act, Secretary Wallace prevailed upon Mr. Campbell to take ex- ccutive charge of the bureau of chem- istry. ‘This man who has- undertaken to on the work of Dr. Wiley in pro- tecting the food and drus supply of the country from impur': adulteration, substitutes’ and misbr. ncing, is big and vigorous, hardened and tanned to physi- cal robustness by devotion to golf. His outstanding characteristic 1s his earn- estness of purpose. His success 18 largely due to his ability to handle peo- ple, for he has a wonderful faculty of getting the most and the best out of those who are working with him. Large Force Under Him. ‘When you consider that there are now more than 600 highly trained men, mostly specialists, under his di- rection and working all over the country, the importance of this in- fluence over them stands out. Besides the administrative offices here Mr. Campbell comes into jurisdiction over many laboratories {n Washington— analytical reagents, investigations, ani- mal physiological chemical, carbohy- drate, color certification, color in- vestigations, commercial dehydration, drug investigations, food control.food investigations, fruit and vegetable utilization, leather and paper, micro- biological, microchemical, ' miscel- laneous, cattle foods, insecticide and fungicide. oils, fats and wax, pharma- cal, protein investigations and water and beverages. The field investigation laboratorie under him also include citrus by products and food research. The field regulatory service has food and drug inspection stations at Baltimore, Bos- ton, Buffalo, New York. Philadelphia, San Juan, Savannah, Chicago, Cincin- nati, Minneapolis, New Orleans, St Louis, Denver, San Francisco and Se- attle. The new chief is forty-four years old, a native of Kentucky and a grad- uate of the University of Kentucky. He was practicing law in Louisville when called Into the federal service in 1907. His interest in food matters was that he had been retained by the state to prosecute in the courts vio- lations of the state food law in the vicinity of Louisville. Its Functions Twofold. The functions of the bureau of chemistry are ‘twofold. In the first lace it enforces the provisions of the Food and drugs act, popularly known as the “pure food law.” passed in 1908, and of the tea a while at the same time it conducts investigations arising in connection with its regu latory or law enforcement work. When Dr. Wiley was marshaling his first cohort of inspectors he made Mr. Campbell an offer, which the state authorities advised him would allow him to continue the federal and state enforcement _work together. When he came to Washington, however, he found that wasn't Washington's view of the matter. Dr. Wiley made him chief inspector and set him to work organizing the entire inspection serv- ice, appreciating that his food en- forcement work in the state, coupled with his knowledge of the law, made him particularly well qualified for this position. Mr?cnmpbe\l. who had intended to devote his life to law, grew interested in organization work and in the tex: of the federal food and drug ac which he has always felt stands for | Roosevelt's dictum of a “square deal.” Organiiation Plan Changed. Just about the time the inspection force was well organized and oper- ating efficiently Dr. Wiley resigned and Dr. Carl L. Alsberg succeeded him as chief of the bureau. Dr., Alsberg had somewhat different orggnisation views and did away with the office of chief Inspector and decentralizing the work by creating three geographical divisions, with headquarters in San Francisco, Chicago and Washington. Mr. Campbell was placed in charge of the eastern district, by far the largest and most important, and again had chance to give vent to what appealed most strongly to him—organization i.m. ‘When he got the eastern division effi- clently developed, in December, 1916, he was called upon to take up duties as assistant chief. Since then he has been intermittently scting chief. “The so-called pure food law is made absolutely in the interests of the con- sumer and Supreme Court empha- sises that point,” said Mr. Campbell. “Also, operating along parailel lines, it is in the interest of the honest pro- ducer, since their interests are iden- cal. . “During the war we encouraged substitutions and stretching out the sSupply. to_many sub- the bureau & of these . 'This has ted Frit deal of o Wholesome. nourishing conosy, pharmacological, thytochemi- | nomical. There is no objection thelr belng marketed, but they m be honestly marketed for just what they contain. The honest table-of- contents label is the guard the federal food and drug act gives the consumer for his protection.” Enforcement Methods Changed. A marked change has come in the administration of this law since Dr. Campbell has been direting the enm- forement wy “When we first tarted it w a sort of gum-shoe method, because we could bring down game no matter where we aimed. Most products were in contra- ’venllon to the new law either by adulteration or misbranding. It was not economical or necessary to pro- ceed against all offenders as now. “But the time came when a majority were in compliance with the law and a few were not, and there was ground as to which were not. table We had come to a sort of twilight zone of legal argument. This involved contests. During the last two or three years, operating through the three-district de- centraliged system. the bureau instructed the heads of these divisions to proceed against offenders under & very definite plan of regulatory prospects. This con- templated a survey of the entire food and drug manufacturing along commodity lines. The result of this survey showed either that the com- modity situation was one requiring cor- rection or that it did not need such at- tention because it was complying with the law. If it needed correction, the bureau first made public announcement of its own views and in that way in- vited the manufacturers to meet the Droper requirements of the law. If they declined to do this, the bureau set about collecting evidence on every Interstate shipment that could be located. Policy to Comtinue. “That plan,” Mr. Campbell saye, “has the advantage not only of being ef- ective in correction of the situation, but of applying all over the country. It also eliminated opportunism, or waiting to see what was going to happen.” There will be no change of that policy, he says, now that he has been placed in executive charge of the buresu. Most people who are acquainted with the government field organizations he Snds “appreciate that the buresu of chemis- try has the best working organization and there is no intention of disturbing Stress must be layed on the fact that this type of procedure, put into opera- tion by Dr. Campbell, permits econom:- cal operation, which is an essential con- sidcration with such a limited fund to carry on the administration of the law and the other work the bureau is sup- posed to perform. In a nuishell, the bureau of chemis- try, with its present well-organized force representing the achievement that above all others led to the selection of Mr. Campbell as chief, serves to pro- tect the public health from injurious j{foods and the public pocketbook from i falsely or fraudulently labeled foods and drugs, and to promote fair trade by guarding the honeat manufacturer against unfair competition with mis- branded or spurious articles sold under the guise of high-priced commodities. Research to Be Enlarged. Along with the research work which is done in connection with the enforcement of the food and drugs act go the investigations in the realm of agricultural chemistry which con- stitute the sole original function of the buresu, and which it is the inten- tion of Secretary Wallace to empha- size and develop as never before, so &8 to render the most up-to-date service along scientific lines to the farmer and related enterprises. For example, the chemistry of plant growth s considered for the purpose of determining the effect of recog- nized plant food constituents and of the Inorganic elements applied at different stages of the growth, as well as the effect of light, on the composition and physical character- istics of plants. The tanning of leather in its various aspects is studied that the farmer may receive satisfactory instructions for prepar- ing hides and for selecting with dis- crimination and intelligently caring for the leather which he uses for boots, harness and belting. Instruc- tions for cheap and effective water- proofing and mildew proofing of fab- rics for wagon covers, stack covers, tents and tarpaulins have been issued. In the development of a great American dve industry the color in- vestigations of the bureau of chemis- try have played an important part. Color research work was begun by the bureau many years ago, for the reason that various types of dve ma- [lprllu are agricultural products and i 8180 because the largest users of dves re the industries utilizing raw agri- jcultural materials. Moreover, the | bureau has been called upon to study ery extensively the artificial (coal tar) dyes. on account of their wide use to color food produects. Handled War Work. When, therefore, shortly after the outbreak of the great war, Congres thought it advisable for the govern- ment to assist in the development of a v. the experience thus gained by the ureau of chem- istry made it particularly well equipped to undertake the work, Mr. Campbell points out. He explains that the color laboratory considers chiefly the fundamental principles that underlie the mechanism of the reac- tions which enter into the production of dyes and determines the chemical and physical constants of the mate- rials used in the industry. The fuc- tory chemist rarely has time to de- vote to this work. and when he is in a position to carry it on. keeps secret the results which he obtains. The findings of the government, on the other hand, are made public as rapid- 1y as possible, for the advancement of the entire Amertcan dye industry. ‘The practical application in the in- dustries and in the arts of the resuits of scientific research is quite apart from the actual work of carrying on an investigation. That the industrial world may have the full benefit of all such resulis obtained in the bureau of chemists under Mr. Campell's organization an office has bean estah- lished to serve as the connecting lirtk between the government and the manufacturer or other interested per- son. This office of development work. handles discoveries made in the bu- reau of chemistry—some of which have proved very important and in- dustrially valuable—and passes them along for industrial development on a commercial scale. The bureau of chemistry did much important work in co-operation with - | other government agencies in helping to keep the fighting men properly supplied and otherwise aiding in winning the great war.
