Charges Against Packers.

Dark, i'll ventilated rooms; foul and
filthy closets, poorly partitioned
from the working rooms, and in close
proximity to the workers.
Water soaked and half-cleaned
tables, conveyors, meat racks, etc.
Rotten wooden floors, reeking with
filth and nauseous vapors, fruitful
culture beds for the disease germs OF
men and animals"
Meats thrown in heaps upon the
floors Piles of offal and other refuse
in corners.
Workers with aprons "indescrib-
ably filthy" from long accumulated
grease and dirt"
Workmen with dirty shoes stand
ing on work tables and sitting on
them to eat luncheon.
The report, which is only par
tial one, furnished the text of spec
ial message sent to Congress by
President Roosevelt.
Neil and Reynolds have made dis
coveries which will set the whole
world to talking Not only do they
declare that little or no thought is
given to cleanliness. especially in the
working up of bi-products, but they
are emphatic in their declaration that
no thought is given to the health of
the army of men, women and child
rem employed in the great packing
houses.
The conditions described are SO
appalling that legislation this ses-
sion, although Congress is becoming
inpatient to adjourn, is almost Ger.
tain. President Roosevelt at the same
time comes out flatfootedly against
the proposition to have the Govern
ment pay the cost of inspection,
which the House amendment to the
bill introduced by Senator Beverage
provides.
I'm my judgment" the President
declares, "any expense of inspection
should be paid by fee levied on
each animal slaughtered If this is
not done, the whole purpose of the
law can at any time be defeated
through an insufficient appropriation,
and whenever there was no particu-
lar interest in the subject it would
be not only easy but natural thus to
make the appropriation insufficient.
If it were not for this condition, l
should favor the Government paying
for ii"
Congressman generally are of the
opinion that the Presidents message
is more significant than the report,
inasmuch as he plainly indicates that
he has other rods in pickle for the
Beef Trust if that organization re-
sists the pending legislation.
The Presidents message is con-
strued as definite threat that more
drastic steps will be taken against
the trust il there is any tamperipg
with this legislation. He was un-
doubtedly moved to this declaration
by the open threats that the House
will materially amend the Beverage
bill. The President in his message
announces Enthusiastically that the
Beveridge bill is good enough and
that it ought to pass as it stands.
Congressman concede that it will be
very difficult to amend the Beverage
bill after this executive approval, but
all the same vigorous effort will be
made in that direction.
That there must be closer inspec-

There are some 100000 farmers in
the United States who are their own
masters. They work as many or as
few hours as they please, but nearly
all of them work more than eight
hours per day. They are the one real

and the only unrest" among them
is a wrathful feeling toward those
who make their living by prating
about social unrest" There is no

ing Tribune.

recorder and officer Hi Waters as

deal" on at the police court session
this morning. There was but one SOL

tribunal, and in the language OF polite
society. he "got his'n." His name
was Robert Brown, and he showed
poor judgment by trying to read a pa
per instead of looking at the judge
Drop that paper" ordered Judge
HALEY, and the prisoner did so with
shamed-faced look. 1t was the
Tribune.
The prisoner admitted he had been
drunk. and as inquiry of the chief re-
vealed the fact that Mr.. Brown had
been a frequent attendant in court
he was given a four-days' sentence
instead of the usual three-days' term
Not having money with which to pay
his fine, the prisoner was turned over
to Street Commissioner Billedue. who
had been watching the proceeding

 There are other representatives O. railroads and large consumers of coal in the district just now doing every thing possible to bring about a steady delivery of the product. The car short age Is playing havoc with anything like a steady delivery on orders ac- cepted by the coal producers in the district several weeks ago.

 Mir.
