Of those employed since that strike were
union men
He denied that girls we're compelled to
stand while working. saying there we're
places for them to sit down, but undoubt-
edly some Of them preferred to stand most
Of the time. that they might do their
work more handily. Rooms were pro
vided in which the employees might eat
and all of the big packers furnished cot
fee To their employees at one cent cup

ployed in the stock Yards are more than

Neil Refused to Answer.

Mr. Wilson questioned 2 charge in the
Neill-ReyDOlds report that carcass of
hog had slipped from carrier into
d pTiVy and had been picked up and
placed with clean caTcasSes. Hc called
upon Dr. NELL to state that it did not
happen i'm one Of the big packing houses
1T did happen IN one of the big con-
Germs" DR.. NELL replied cmphatically.
Although requested by members of the
commission TO state which one, Dr. Nell
refused

The New York Model
Mt. Wilson took up the comparison with
the model NewN York packing house.
which was made i'm the Neill- Reynolds
report. and said that the house was new
and built under the strict building and
sanitary regulations of the city. The new
house Of mis- firm IN Kansas City would
compare favoTably with the New York
house
tary houses in Chicago. and all the newer
buildings were Up-UC-date-
Asked about the statement that en-
nIoyes relieved themselves on the floor
Mr.. Wilson was inclined to question this
entirely. II it was seen. IT must have been
in one Of the smaller houses
Mr.. Reynolds or DR.. NeiIl would have
to stand around a long time to see any
thing of that kind in q large packing
house" he said. and any man doing il
would be instantly discharged
Reading about the man with q dirty
apron and dirty clothes who had no
means of cleaning his hands except to
vine them on his dirty clothes and that
there was no water in the room. he said
il would be impossible for an apron to
look clean after being worn for five min
utes The only dyes used were those TO
color the castings of the sausage, and not
for meats.

who do not know it"
Representative Scott asked if Mr.. vii
son nad ever Investigated packing houses
abroad. He had, in England; but he said
American methods were superior
Have you had any difficulty prior 10
this agitation with your foreign mar
kets?" asked Mr.. Scott.
We are having q great deal Of trouble
now" replied the witness.
Asked again about times prior to the
present agitation, he mentioned that some
trouble was had with Germany. but he
did not regard this based on the quality
of American meats
Mr. Wilson then took up the Beveridge
amendment.
Unsound Meat.

marked. If the date on the labels or
cans might be omitted. He also sug-
gested that some carCasses might be
found unsouud and AT the same time
might be fit for food. or some portion of
them
He wanted the language to condemn
caTCasses only when the carcasses ARE
found to be unfit for human food
To illustrate, he said. a carcass might
be bruised on the shoulder and otherwise
all right
Dr.. Melvin was asked for an opinion.
and said that as applied to a live animal
it might be ''unsound' but fit for food.
but applied TO a dead animal carcass
that was 'unsOUnd' might not be fit for
food.
Mr. WadsWOrtb said the whole thing
was whether the animal was or was not
fit for human food
What's the use Of burdening the law
with lot Of adjectives such as sound
I 'heaIthful,' etc"
Mr.. Wilson made the same objection to
the use Of the words impure 'uu-
sound" "unheathful" etc, wherever
they qualified the inspection throughout
the amendment The committee spent
some time in discussion of the question

There would be no objection. Mr. VII
son said. to a sanitary regulation as
strong as practicable He admitted that
the names of their products did not con-
tain the article. As. an example he said
his firm sold Oxford sausage. which
was pork sausage sold under the name
1 oxford Another article named
1 brown was simply a beef stew.
Representative IOrimeT added that
. brown" meant beef pork. potatoes car
rOts, etc.
As d matter of fact asked Represen-
tative Scott, ''is anything called Dotted
chicken which is not chicken
No. sir. our pOtted chicken IS made en-
tirely Of chicken. and our pOtted turkey
is made of turkey"
At this point the committee adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-06-07
As to Dead Hogs.

Mr.. Wilson again took up the Neil-
Reynolds report, commenting on many

djtion of the animals pens. ne showed

think there was anything revolving
about that
In regard to the interior Of the work
rooms, Mr. Wilson said that any person
would be pleased with their cIeaniv an
pearauCe before the days killing and
dressing is begun. and that persons not
used TO packing houses might be dis

Strengthening OF animals the sight of blood
and other Offal resulting would have a
very shocking effect on the nerves and
senses Of two men with the necessary
tine sensibihties that such men as Messrs
Nell and Reynolds must have, who have
devoted their lives to one line of scien-
tiflc or sociological work, but men such
as TINS committee is made up, with broad
and more general experiences, will imme-
dIately appreciate how the conditions re
ported have been exaggerated and that the
greatest effort IS made at all times to han
die the product in a clean and sanitary
manner We appreciate that Nessrs
equip them to recommend improvement
in social conditions. and many of the
suggestions made by them were found to
be practical and have already been
adopted but We also feel that their two
and half weeks experience in the pack
ing houses does not equip them suffi-
GENTLY to justify your honOrab bic body in
undertaking 20 iegislate inteligentIy on
their observations alone"
For this reason he wanted the commit
tee to make a personal inspection.
When the hearing was resumed, D.
MClViE- chief Of the bureau Of animal
industry was asked n number of ulfas-
tons concerning anTe-mOTtem cXaminl-
ttOns Of cattle bought by packing houses.
He explained that these examinations
were all conducted in the stockNards. lie
was asked if he believed any diseased
meat WAS nut on tho mail et in any form
explained n detail the disposition of dis
eased cattle through the stock exchange
but SAID no such Precautions were tlkeH
concerning other animals.
