mour said:
The entire export trade of this
try has been badly damaged. 10 estl-
mate the tCtal loss now would be merely
guess work. 1t may run into hundreds OF
millions. When the American industries"
are slandered by persons who pretend TO
speak as Americans il is to be expected
that the foreign competitors will take ad-
vantage of it.
The public has been i~gnorantly or ma
liciously misinformed on the two most
important phases of the whole question:
namely, the character of the meat lnspec-
ton as it is and has been and the attl-
tude of the large packers toward the pro-
posed legislation.
The inspection now in force in all OF
the larger packing houses makes the SAFE
of diseased meats from such houses I'M
possible. The government, which is re-
sponsible for the inspection, has failed to
state the facts about it.
THE large packers believe in govern
ment inspection. They asked for 1t IN
the first place. They want it continued
and improved, if it can be improved. Ger
tain minor features of the proposed leg
i%slation, as first presented, were oOJec-
tionable. They apparently were put into
the bill by persons who had not any
knowledge Of Or regard for the practical
side of any business. But l believe all of
the large packers heartily favor the pur-
pose which the pending bill is intended to-
accomplish-namely:
Thorough inspection of all animals be-,
fore slaughter.
Thorough inspection of all animals aft
ter slaughter.
Thorough inspection of the sanitary
conditions in the packing houses.
Thorough inspection of the products;
that go to the consumer in forms other
than in bulk.
1--WE are able to say, with exact truth,
that every pound of meat in our plants,
for local as we'll as for export. is inspect
ed IN. passed in accordance with the full
regulations Of the Department of Agri-
culture and the bureau of animal indus
try. Unprejudiced men and scientists,
who have exact knowledge, will agree that
these regulations are the strictest in the
world. Every day carcasses and meats
that would be passed for food in Germany
and other foreign countries are condemned
in our houses and converted into grease
and fertilizer"
