WASHINGTON, Feb. Especial Tele-
gram. 1.-THE senate committee on appropria-
tions today, appreciating the necessity of
taking care of meat inspection growing out
OF increased demand for our products pre-
Vious to the date In March when the new
German tariff goes into effect, inserted
provision in the urgency deficiency bill
carrying $13500o for meat inspection pur-
poses. Both Representatives Kennedy and
Pollard made a fight in the house for this
appropriation, but were voted down on
amendments they offered because the agrl-
cultural committee stated that Secretary
Wilson had enough funds at his disposal to
take care OF the inspection service pending
the passage OF the general agricultural APP
propriation bill. The senate evidently real
lied the gravity Of the situation and by
unanimous vote decided to give Mr. Wilson
the amount which he originally asked for,
namely, s1S5 600, instead of the amount given
by the house, $4,000
