STAFFORD REFUSES WRIL
Upholds Right of Secretary of Agri
culture to Give Notice of Prosecu
tton of Millers Using Chemicals In

Court Interferes.
Washington, May 1. Becretnry Wll
son wns greatly plcnsod over a de
cision of Judge Stafford of tho district
Btiprcnio court upholding him In tils
recent ruling ns to bleached flour
This ruling was advorso to manu
facturers using nltrogcno peroxide in
bleaching flour and roqulred blenched
flour to bo labeled.
A company of St. LouIb brought ac
tion hero for a writ of mandamus to
compel Secretnry Wilson to show
caiiso why ho should not refrain from
the enforcement of this ruling. Judgo
Stafford refused to grant tho writ nnd
uphold Secretary Wilson in his right
to glvo notlco of prosecution of manu
