STATE THEIR POSITION
Not Opposed to Sanitation
and Say It’s Matter for
Public Decision.
That the campaign to have all
bread wrapped was originally in-
stigated by the paper trust for ap-
; parent reasons is the claim made in
a statement prepared bv Charles P.
. Steffler a baker nt San Antonio
j That the bakers win agree however
to the general demand fcr wrapped
bread realizing that such action is
inevitable under the circumstances.
Mr Steffler announces in his state-
ment. Th ‘ Master? Bakers' have en-
dorsed Mr. Steffler’s statement
Ahich foliows:
"Much has been said about wrap-
jping of breed by bakers and mostly
by people who know n.othing about
the cause or the effect of wrapping
ibiead. First the cause: Wrapped
'bread was first agitated by the paper
trust and paid lobbyists were kept
I jin the different state capitols to agi-
tate wrapping of bread and other
commodities and foodstuffs because
it would put thousands of dollars in
their coffers. Finally the cry was
taken up by the pure food cranks
and then by the general public. It be-
came a craze to wrap everything
eatable. Like other fads and fash-
ions it is inevitable has to run its
course and will finally go the route
of all such fads and die a natural
death.
Not lighting Ordinance.
"The bakers are not fighting the
paoposed ordinance because we real-
ize that it Is inevitable and the popu-
lar cry for wrapped bread must be
answered with wrapped bread. We
knew 1t would come sooner or later
land those that want wrapped bread
can have it but it should be left to
the public whether they want it or
not. The idea of making drivers nt
bread wagons wear gloves is ridicu-
lous and stHy. A pair of cotton gloves
can gather and hold more dirt and
germs than the naked hand. But why
stop with the drivers? The dough
before being baked is handled by
hand a dozen or more times for with
all the up-to-date machinery in Lake
shops the dough and bread must
still be handled by band. We have
machines to make the dough but the
dough must be taken out of the ma-
chine by hand and transferred to
the trough.
"Again we have machines to scale
the loaves and mould them into
shape. but the Inaves have to be
transferred by hand to the mould?
When baked the loaves have to be
transferred to the cooling racks by
I hand and again they are transferred
Ito the w rapping machine by hand
(and finally when delivered to the
I house the wrapper is torn off by the
servant usually a ’lady of color.’ who
.handles the bread before and after
; cutting and her hands are not wrap-
I ped nr gloved.
Purchasers Arc Inconsistent.
"To illustrate the inconsistency of
my lady the pure food crank an In-
cident that happened not long ago in
•a local store Is given: A lady asked
with a haughty air if the proprietor
didn’t wrap his bread and upon be-
mg told it was optional with the
customer whether the bread was
wrapped or unwrapped she demand
ed wrapped bread. While she was
(waiting she spied four different kinds
ot cakes that were just hr night from
rthe oven and were ready to be put in
the show case. She proceeded to
[ handle every one. squeezing them
Land turning them over and around.
| : Her hands were not gloved or wrap-
Iped. She even went so far as to stick
one to her nose'and smell it and
| when she was Informed that her
•nose was not wrapped and she could
। have the rakes sho had handled as
we would not offer them for sale she
felt highly indignant and Insulted.
"Another instance is given in a
rakers’ journal where a ladv went
into a grocer? store demanded wrap- .
1 nod bread and then proceeded to eat |
some fresh prune? out of a box that i
had Just been opened. The prunes
'were not wrapped. She then helped
herself to a lemon drop out of a jar i
and the lemon drop was not wrap-
ped. She next helped herself to an
apple which was not wrapped. When
|she finallv completed her purchase
'she stepped to the sidewalk and was
waiting fcr a car when along came
a big dog growling at her pet poodle. I
•She picked up the poodle and kissed
it and the pnodle wasn't drapped ■
jelther.
Bakers Favor Sanitation.
"We bakers do not oppose sanita-
tion or cleanliness. The bakers have
I kept pace w ith the times. Modern
machinin’ has been installed in most
। shops. The sh ips arc clean and sani-
tary and the city has inspectors who
• visit the bakeries regularly. We wel-
come Inspection of our shops by the !
nvblic f« r they are as clean as th* 1
housewife’s kitchen. If bread i?
t made clean delivered clean in a
(clean wagon by a clean driver wrap-
jping will not Improve it any. On
ithe other hand if made in a dirty
•shop delivered by a dirty driver in a
d<rty wagon to a dirty kitchen tn be
cut by a dirty servant wrapping It
will not make it any cleaner.
"The inspector ran and will attend
to the unsanitary baker'.- and wagon
i' given the power and instructions
to do so. Then the public has suffi-
cient guarantee that they arc getting
clean bread. It costs money tn wrap
bread in wax Inner and the bread
eaters must pay for it Most of the
■bread is sold to the grocer who Is
our distributer and ho must make
a legitimate profit to live. The baker
gets on an average three and one-
half cents fnr a loaf of bread. All
the malarial being high the baker is
nrt retting rich so that you could
notice it."
CHARLES P. STEFFLER.
