Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amendments to Warehouse Act: Hearings Before the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Sixty-Sixth Congress, Second Session, on Proposed Amendments to the Warehouse Act, February 13 and 14, 1920 The committee met at 10 o'clock a. m. on call of the chairman, Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. Gentlemen of the committee, this meeting has been called for the purpose of hearing representatives of the Ohio, Iowa, and Michigan wool growers associations who desire to suggest amendments to the warehouse act. The representatives of these associations were to appear this morning. I am informed that the train on which they were to arrive is late and that it may be some time before they reach here. In the meantime Mr. Murph, who has charge of this work in the department, will make a statement. Statement of Mr. Daniel S. Murph, Specialist In Cotton Marketing And Warehousing, Bureau Of Markets, United States Department Of Agriculture. Mr. Murph. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, in making a statement with reference to this matter I may say that I have no knowledge as to the purpose of this meeting of the committee this morning or as to the statement that is to be made by wool growers, except as I have been able to draw some inference from letters which we have had in the last few days from some of our representatives in the field. I merely want to make that plain, so as to indicate the sort of statement I am making, and the nature of the source of my information. My information is very incomplete. It seems, Mr. Chairman, from a letter which we have had, that in the wool industry it is not always entirely desirable to deliver wool only upon surrender of warehouse receipts. Just why that is, I am not entirely clear. The United States warehouse act provides that no product stored in a warehouse licensed under that act can be delivered until the receipt is surrendered. Now, for some reason it appears that in the wool business that requirement has worked some hardship upon producers, and presumably upon other people who want to store wool in warehouses and take receipts for it. Mr. McLaughlin of Michigan. Is that a requirement of the law, or your regulations? Mr. Murph. That is a requirement of the law. So that some of the wool interests, as I understand, desire to have the law amended some way or other so as to allow the delivery of the wool without the surrender of the receipt.
