PACKERS MAKING
HASTE TOCLEAN
PREMISES
Haste Toward Reform Would
be Amusing if Not so
Nearly Tragic.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, June Sin response
to request from the house COM
mittee on agriculture, President
Roosevelt today forwarded to Repre-
sentative Wadsworth, chairman of
that committee, a report made to him
by committee of the department of
agriculture, regarding the conditions
in the Chicago meat packing houses.
Accompanying the report was letter
from the president in which he points
out that there is no conflict in sub
stance between the Neill-Reynolds re-
port and that of the agricultural de-
partment experts.
The president quotes from a letter
received from a most competent and
trustworthy witness in Chicago to the
effect that the packing house pro-
prietors are hanifesting almost hui
morous haste to clean up, repave and
even to plan for future changes. New
toilet rooms are being provided, with
additional dressing rooms and clean
towels. The presidents correspond
ent says that the haste toward reform
would have been amusing If it were
not so nearly tragic.
The president says his investiga-
tions have not been completed, but
that enough has been developed In
my judgment to call for, an imme-
diate, thorough going and radical en-
largement of the powers of the gov
ernment in the inspecting of all meats
which enter into interstate and for
eign commerce."
