Rt. Hon. Sir Walter Foster Of the British
! House of Lords was a South Omaha visitor
yesterday. He arrived in Omaha Wednes
| day evening and yesterday visited three out
OF the four packing plants He was accom-
panied by a government chemist by the
name of Kidner. He visited the Swift COM
pany's plant first, and IL is understood that
he is being entertained by the Swifts while
here He asked to be shown over the
| plant. He visited all departments and his
! companion took copious notes Manager
Edwards accompanied him and went every
where. He asked numerous questions of
the employees and especially questioned the
government inspectors as 10 their duties.
! He appeared much interested in all de-
partments of the packing business. From
Swifts plant he. in company with Mr.. Ed
wards, visited Cudahys plant. After pass
| ing through all the departments there Ar
mour's was given an exhaustive visit. The
visit OF the Englishmsn appears to be Off
cial in one sense. 1t appears that he Is
gathering information to be used in COM
| parison with the English slaughtering and
packing regulations. The knowledge he
i
may be the suggestion OF some advanced
efficiency in the English code He ex-
pressed general satisfaction over conditions
| as he found them in all the plants. The
managers of the packing plants professed
not TO know that his business in South
| Omaha at this time had any special sig
nifcance, other than the seeking of inror-
cation On this point, Sir Foster let fall
no satisfactory hint.
