Dairy and Food Commissioner EN-
cry yesterday made public the results
OF an investigation being made under
Eis directions at the packing houses in
Milwaukee, and the statement must be
gratifying TO the people of Wisconsin
ana to Milwaukee in particular. for it
describes the conditions in the cream
city packing houses as thoroughly sat
isfactory. The statement, which was
prepared by the commissioner with
care, was accom- panied with the re-
mark that he thought it due to the
people of this state and to the pack
ing houses of Milwaukee that the good
conditions there maintained be made
public. The statement is as follows:
Under the direction of Dairy and
Food Commissioner Emery, thorough
inspection has recently been made of
every meat packing establishment In
the city of Milwaukee. For this pur-
pose Commissioner Emery dispatched
his two assistants, u. S. Baer and ]. G.
Moore, with instructions to make a
thorough inspection of everything con-
nccted with every meat packing estab-
ishment in the city of Milwaukee to
the extent of their ability. They were
Instructed to make themselves known
ID the managers of each of these es-.
adjustments and to inform them that
they were there in their official capac-
ity, under the direction of the dairy
end food commissioner. to inspect
everything connected with these estab.
lishments.
Everything connected with each of
tLose establishments was readily
thrown open TO the fullest inspection.
These officials saw the animals slaugh.
tered. The Strengthening OF each ami
NAL Was under the inspection of a gov
eminent inspector. The report they
make is that everything observed in
COZ nection with every meat packing
establishment in the city of Milwaukee
is above reasonable criticism. One es-
adjustment in particular is reported
as in every way in superb condition,
and though there are varying degrees
of excellence in the respective estab-
lishments they did not End conditions
in a single establishment against
which they could briAg reasonable
criticism. The floors and walls of the
buildings were found clean. They
found the workmen and their clothing
clean. The instruments and nipple
ments used in the establishments were
clean. All this is reassuring to the
Wisconsin public and the results of
this inspection go to show that the
Milwaukee packers have nothing to
fear from the most rigid government
inspection and that they have much to
gain by such inspection in consequence
of the release 1t will bring them from
the disreputable competition that they
meet from establishments that are not
conducted In manner like their own.
1T is to be remembered that there
is no canning OF meats done by any of
the Milwaukee packing establishments.
OF course this inspection embraces
only what could be detected by the eye
and does not speak Of those things
that can be determined only by scien-
tific analysis or experiment. They saw
nothing, however, OF such suspicious
character as to cause them to take
samples for analysis"
A considerable number Of Madison
meat dealers use Milwaukee packing
house stock.
