MEET
SECRETARY WILSON
Same Old Problems of Label,
Previously Discussed,
Again Presented.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson to-
dav held another seauce with the per
turbed representatives Of another group
of packers and food people who are try
ing to find where they will stand when
the meat inspection law takes effect
Packers representatives from all over
the meat country came TO discuss the
matter with the Secretary. Chief Chem
ist Wiley. and Dr. Melvin. chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry. The gath
erlng was larger than the previous one
which considered the same set OF prob
lens. The sessions were held at the
Munsey building
The packers have been rather unduly
deliberate about getting ready 20 COM
ply with the new label requirements i'm
posed Jointly by the pure food and meat
inspection laws. Now they are fearful
that they can't possibly get their labels
ready for use by October /, when the
inspection law will be in effect. They
want the department to show them
way out of their troubles; If not that
then at least TO look sympathetic and
say a few kind words.
Instead the departments counten-
ance is as stone, and the only language
il knows is the letter of the law.
Beginning October !. meat products
must bear Iruth-telilng LABELS or they
can't be shipped as interstate COM
merce, or sold by dealers The packers
are in a very bad sCrape about IL.
They haven't their new and truthful
labels ready yet. If they stop putting
up their goods until the labels can be
had. the country's stock of canned
goods will run out and there will be
famine. II they go ahead using the old
labels. they must get everything
shipped and sold before October l. or
else il will be illegal. Their situation
is extremely embarrassing.
