WHAT DOESlT MEAN?
ONE NEW PHASE OF NEW MEAT
INSPECTION LAW PUZZLES
RAILROADS AND PACKERS
May Neoessitate Two Sets of lnspec-
tors-Law Makes Railroads Respon-
sibIe if uninspected Meat For Inter
state Trade is Received.

Will 1t be necessary under the pro-
visions of the new meat inspection
law for every railroad handling pack
ing house products out Of the city Of
Ottumwa, or for that matter from nay
other place, to maintain set Of In
spectors Of their own? This is ques-
ton which is proving quite an inter-
esting one to railroad men and pack
ing house people at this time.
Under the new law it is said to be
clear that the railroads are made re-
sponsible for all meat accepted for
shipment to points outside of the state
which have not been properly inspect
ed and passed according to statute. 1t
is said that some of the railroad peo-
pie feel that the only way they could
take this responsibility is to have in
spectors, in the employ of the rail-
road, at the packing plant at all
times.
John H. Morrell in an interview last
evening regarding this point said
"A strict Interpretation of the new law
would seem to suggest that this step
must be taken. understand that a
committee of railroad men and pack
ers is to be appointed to take this mat
ter up with Secretary Wilson. Official
ly John Morrell & Co. have done moth
ing in regard to this phase of the law
as we are waiting for further instruc.
lions from Washington. With the ex-
ception Of this point and that of few
details the business as at present con.
Quoted at our plant is in line with the
new legislation"
SCOTS at Idea,
w. H. Hill, district freight agent OF
the Iowa district of the Burlington
when seen yesterday in regard to the
double inspection system was inclined
to scott the idea as impracticable. Mr.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1906-07-26

Hill said, II am not yet familiar
enough with the new law to express
any definite opinions. However, what
ever that passage of the law may mean
| am sure that it will not require the
railroads to keep separate set of in
spectors. AS the penalty to the pack
ers will be greater than ours, should
any meat be shipped contrary to the
law, we will be willing to take their
word in the matter
A Sioux City View.
The following article from Sioux
City paper gives the view of the situa-
ton taken in that city:
Whether every railroad company
hauling packing house products from
the big plants Of Sioux City will be
required TO furnish inspectors to as
certain whether the meats are inspect
ed according to the statute is the ques-
ton which. is puzzling Sioux City rail
road men and packing house man
ayers in Sioux City.
According to the new meat inspec-
ton laws it is plain that the railroads
are to be held responsible if they ac-
cept packing house products for ship
ment outside the state in which they
are manufactured which are not whole
some and which have not been in
spected and passed according to stat
ute.
"Such responsibility can only be talk
en- by the railroad companies by hav-
ing inspectors of their own and in
their employ at every packing house.
Twelve Railroad Inspectors.
"Such a provision would make it nee
essary for the following railroad COM
panies to maintain inspectors at the
packing plants of Armour & Co. and
the Cudahy Packing company in Sioux
CITY:
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad
company,
Northwestern Railroad company
Illinois Central Railroad company.
Great Northern Railroad company.
Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha company.
Burlington railroad company.
"This requirement alone would bring
twelve new railroad inspectors to the
city, and traffic officials declare that II
the meat is inspected when it is load
ed, each company will be required to
have several inspectors at each point
/ II half a dozen cars of one company
are switched to one of the packing
houses it would be necessary to have
an inspector for each car, which woule
make an endless amount of expense
and inconvenience for the railroad
companies.

THE MINNESOTAAT
TRIAL TRIP STAGE
New Battleslip Likely to Go Into
Commission Early Next
Year.
Nv w, w, Jermane,

Washington, March 19-The battle
ship Minnesota is far enough along In
construction for department officials to
begin talking about her trial trip. Sew
eral other ships will be taken to the
New England coast late in the spring
for this purpose, and it is probable that
the Minnesota will have her standardi-
zation test and four-hour run late in
the summer. The South Dakota and
the Milwaukee, under construction at
San Francisco, will be put thru their
PAGES on the west coast, prior to &C.
ceptance by the government. The Mil.
waukee has already had a successful
dock trial, conducted by the builders.
The Minnesota will probably be put
in commission on the Atlantic coast
early in 1907, and the state authorities
will have to make up their minds what
sort of present shall be purchased with
the money appropriated by the last leg
islature. The state Of South Dakota
has already bought a set Of silver cost
ing $4,000 for Installation on that YES
sci. It is now stored in the Brooklyn
navy yard, awaiting the time when
that vessel is put in Commission.
Arrangements have already been
made for the purchase Of libraries for
the Minnesota and South Dakota:
Twelve thousand dollars worth of
books will be bought under contract fol
installation on these and other new
warships.

.TAWNEY WRESTLES
WITH POLICE PAY
Minnesota Congressrnan's Efforts
to Reform Government Sal
aries Proves Hard Work.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, March 19.-Chairman
Tawney Of Minnesota, of the house com.
mittee on appropriations, is finding that
he has much work ahead of him II ne
ever hopes to put government salarles
and appropriations generally on Ialr
basis as between individuals DONG llke
work and between departments charged
with "a like amount of responsibility.
reference has previously been made to
Mr.. Tawney's efforts to improve the
character Of government clerical work
in this city by providing for the COM
pulsory retirement Of all clerks on
reaching the age Of 70 years. This par
ticular legislation will probably fail at
this time, but it has emphasized the
existing situation and made sure that
it is to receive the serious attention OF
congress at no distant day.
Mr.. Tawney's committee is just now
trying to equalize the pay Of the CAPT
tol police. These are the men who see
to the safety Of the big building on
Capitol hill and enforce the police reg
ulations Of the city within the capitol
grounds. The committee found the cap
itol police were paid at three different
rates. Onethird Of them received $9OO,
one-third 1850 and third 81 100. But
no man began at the lower salary and
was promoted to the higher. Once
P"oO
Turnout the government service there
are inequalities even more preposterous.
For example, each department employs
one or more telegraphers. The chief
telegrapher for the war department. re-
ceives $1,000, for the senate 81 500, in
the treasury department, the depart
ment of commerce and labor and the
house Of representatives, $1,000; for the
interior and navy departments and the
district government, 81 900, and for the
government printing office, $3.50 day
on opposites corridors Of the same build
ing, one for the war and the other fol-
the navy department, one receives near
ly double the salary of the other. This
is only an illustration, and rather
minor one, but it shows what a pro
digious undertaking it will be if con
gress ever does set about putting the
whole salary list on something like g
| business basis.
