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 States warehouse act, originally approved August 11, 1916, and amended and approved J uly 24, 1919. The reason we are here at this time and did not appear prior to. The amendment of the act or prior to its passage is because the conditions which now exist did not then exist and could not have been foreseen; they have only arisen during the latter part of the last year, and that accounts for our failure not to have been before you at some former time.
