On Preliminary Report.
II call special attention to the fact
that this report is preliminary, and
that the Investigation Is still unfin-
ished. 1t is not yet possible to report
on the alleged abuses in the use OF
d~eleterious chemical compounds in
connection with canning and preserv-
ing meat products, nor on the alleged
doctoring in this fashion of tainted
meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unstable or
unusable from age or from other rea-
sons. Grave allegations are made In
reference to abuses of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the pres
ent law there is practically no method
of stopping these abuses if they should
be discovered 20 exist. Legislation is
needed in order to prevent the posi-
bility of all abuses In the future. If
no legislation Is passed, then the e
cellent results accomplished by the
work of this special committee will en-
dure only so long as thu memory OF
the committees work is fresh, and q
recrudescence of the abuses Is abso-
lutely certain.
II urge the Immediate enactment
into law of provisions which Will en-
able the department of agriculture ad-
equately to inspect the meat and meat
food products entering into interstate
commerce and to supervise the meth
DDS of preparing the same, and to pre-
scribe the sanitary conditions under
which the work shall be performed.
l therefore recommend to your favor
able consideration and urge the enact
ment of substantially the provisions

passed by the senate, this amendment

THE REPORT.
The President:

The President:
AS directed by you, we Investigated
the conditions in the principal estab-
lishments in Chicago engaged in the
slaughter of cattle, sheep and hogs,
and in the preparation of dressed meat
and meat-food products. Two and a
half weeks were spent in the investi-
cation in Chicago, and during this time
we went through the principal packing
houses in the stock yards districts, to-
gether with a few of the smaller ones.
A day was spent by MI. Reynolds in
New York city in the investigation Of
several of its leading slaughter houses.
During our Investigation statements
of conditions and practices in the
packing houses, together with afr
davits and documentary evidence,
were offered us from numerous
sources. Most Of them were rejected as
being far from proving the facts al
legged, and as being beyond the pos
sibility of verification by us. We have
made no statement as a fact in the
report here presented that was not
verified by our personal examination.
Certain matters which we were unable
to verify while in Chicago are still I'M
der investigation.
The following is therefore submitted
as a partial report, touching upon
those practices and conditions which
we found most common and not con-
fined to a single house or class Of
Ioncoc r,0rn Infoi1nd rnnnrf would
contain many specific instances of de-
fects found in particular houses.
Condition of the Yards.
Before entering the buildings W.
noted the condition of the yards them
selves as shown in the pavements,
pens, viaducts and platforms.
The pavement is mostly of brick,
the bricks laid with deep grooves be-
tween them, which inevitably fill with
manure and refuse. Such pavement
can not be properly cleaned, and is
Shiny and malodorous when wet, yield
ing clouds of ill-smelling dust when
dry.
The pens are generally uncovered,
except those for sheep; these latter
are paved and covered.
The viaducts and platforms are of
wood. Calves, sheep and hogs that
have died en- route are thrown out
upon the platforms where cars are un-
loaded. On a siugle platform on one
occasion we counted Is dead hogs, on
the next 10 dead hogs. The only ex-
cuse given for delay in removal was
that so often heard-the expense.
Condition of the Buildings.
Material.-The interior finish Of
most of the buildings is of wood; the
partition walls, supports and rafters
are OF wood, uncovered by plaster or
cement. The flooring in some instances
is of brick or cement, but usually Of
wood. In many of the rooms where
water is used freely the floors are
soaked and Shiny.
