Mr. that he had put through a similar measure in New York after a two-year struggle, where he had to fighi powerful lobby com- posed of men selling meat for kosher, who tok ordinary meat that sold for 9 and 10 cents a pound and sold it as kosher at 32 and 35 cents. He intimated that a similar lobby is opposing the passage of this meas- Mr. Dickstein as difficult now to con- vict for false pr ces.
