FOUL MEAT
GOES WITH
THE FRESH
Shocking Conditions in
the Chicago Packing
Houses.
Gist Of the Reports Filed
by Two Government
inspectors.
Cast-0ff Pieces Of Hog / r
Colored and Made
Into Potted Ham
Special Dispatch to The Cal.

CHICAGO May 26-A rigid system of
inspection of meats for the market and
especially of the sanitary conditions of
the buildings. and stock yards where they
are prepared will be installed in Chicago
before the fall slaushtering is begun, if
the House concurs in the. action of the
United States Senate, which passed the
Beveridge bill yesterday.
President Roosevelt said that If objec-
ton to the measure were raised by the
packers or their friends the findings of
Labor Commissioners Mcneil and Rey-
nolds on the condition in which they
found the slaughter houses and canning
establishments of the Chicago stock yards
would be made public. The report al
ready is in type ready to be circulated on
short notice.
A brief summary of charges made by
the Government investigators is as fol-
lows:
Floors found so filthy that blood and
grease oozed through and fell upon good
meat about to pe canned.
Employees walked around in dirt in
which they had expectorated. gathering
up possible bacilli and afterward walk
ing on carcasses-
trolley and fell into a vile place; it was
taken out and cut up for food with the
others, without having been cleaned.
Dried meat was placed in the SAND
room with good meat, intended for can
ming.
Potted hams appeared to consist of pig
skin and other cast off pieces of hog col
ored and put on the market.
The packers have replied to the Pres-
dents charges. saying that they are un-
justified, and that any inspection measure
would be welcomed.
The accusations that meat was dragged
over floors and that there was need of
better light, ventilation and toilet facili-
| ties, with the last named further re-
moved from the rooms where meat Is pre-
] pared were resented.
The replies of various packing firms are
as follows:
Armour G. Co.: I'VE heartily favor
Government inspection that will cover
both meats and sanitary conditions Our
packing houses have been open to the
public for forty years and during that
time we have satisfied doctors, chemists
sanitarians and official Government in
| speetors"
/ Nelson, Morris & Co.: "The millions OF
people all over the world who have Wis.
| tied our plants can testify to their clean
! liness and sanitary condition Our aim is
to improve continually
Swift & Co.: I'VE aim to maintain q
high standard Of sanitation. The Bever-
idge bill should form basis for a good
law. We want our Governments certifi.
cate to represent the highest standard"
Schwarzschild G. Sulzberger: Our plant
is modern and we welcome inspectior
even by the President himself. we dc
not believe that there is anything in our
sanitary conditions that can be criti-
cised.''

Children in the Streets.


There two sides to Inspector Cross
recent order to policemen to prevent chill
dren from playing in the streets of this
borough. One side Is that of the inspec-
tor, who was moved to take action by the
Increasing number of children who are
killed or injured while SO playing. The
other side Is that of the Rev. Howard Me-
lish of Holy Trinity, who says that the
children have no other place to play, and
that the inspectors order Is an outrage.
children have no other playground than
the streets, as Mr.. Melish says, and in the
crowded neighborhoods ii would be tnhu-
man to conflne them during the daytime to
the cramped and suffocating rooms In
which their parents live Play is as neces-
sary to the growth of a child as eating or
sleeping is, and every child has at least
natural right to place to stretch his mus
cles. That Is a law of nature and the fact
that our civilization has not made allow
ances for 1t does not make the law any
less imperative. The natural impulse drives
the children into the streets, and there they
are run down not merely by street cars,
but by vehicles whose drivers are using all
possible care and diligence Street acct
dents are within the domain of the police.
1t Is their business to prevent them SO far
as possible, and in the pursuance of that
duty Inspector Cross issued his order.
The immediate outcome Syill be that the
police VIII try for time to enforce the
order, and, failing, win again grow toler-
ant and allow the children to resume their
old street games. A thorough enforcement
OF the order would be impossible without
doubling or trebling the number OF police
men. patrolman goes through a block
once or at most twice in day. While
he Is passing the children will subdue them
selves and as he disappears up the street
the FUN Will be resumed until warning of
his next visit Is heard. Parents may be
little more careful about allowing their
children to play. for fear that they may
be called to the police station to bail the
young hopefuls out, but presently that fear
will subside and the old conditions will be
resumed.
