Lining the Meat Packers.

In connection with his advocacy of
the Beveridge amendment to the Agri-
cultural bill, providing government in
spection of the great slaughter and
packing houses of the country. particu-
larly those Of Chicago, President Roose-
velt transmitted to the House at Wash
ington, Monday, the report of Com
missioners Neill and Reynolds as to
what they saw there. The report is
lengthy and from 1t we extract the
following
Meat scraps were found being shovel
ed into receptacles from dirty floors
where they were left to lie until again
shoveled into barrels or into machines
for chopping. These floors. it must be
noted, were in most cases damp and
soggy, in dark, ill-ventilated rooms, and
the employees, in utter Ignorance of
cleanliness or danger to health. ex-
perforated at will upon them. In a word,
we saw meat shoveled from filthy.
wooden floors. piled on tables rarely
wasEed, pushed from room to room in
rotten box carts, in all of which pro-
cesses it was in the way Of gathering
dirt, floor filth, and the expectoration Of
tuberculous and other diseased workers
] Where complaint was made to floor
guperintendents about these matters, ii
was always the reply that this meat
would afterwards be cooked, and that
this sterilization would prevent any
danger from its use Even this. it may
be pointed out in passing, is not wholly
true. A very considerable portion Of
the meet so handled is sent out as
smoked products and in the form of
sausages, which arc prepared to be
eaten without being cooked.
A particularly glaring instance OF un-
cleanliness was found in q room where
the best grade of sausage was being
prepared for export 1t was made from
carefully selected meats, and was being
prepared to be eaten uncoohed In this
case the employe carted the choppedup
meat across q room in barrow the
handles of which were filthy with
grease. The meat was then thrown out
upon tables, and the employe climbed
upon the table, handled tine meat with
his unwaehed hands. knelt with his
dirty apron and trousers IN contact
with the meat ne was spreading ont
and, after he had finished his operation.
again took hold of the dirty handles of
the wheelbarrow, went back for another
load, and repeated this process in
definitely. Inquiry developed the fact
that there was no water in this room at
all, and the only method the man adopt
ed for cleaning his hands was to rub
them against his dirty apron or on his
etill filthier trousers.

His early life was spent in lumber

had served as Justice of the peace in

forty-five years and during all of this
long time he had never had a decision
reversed by the courts. An unvarying
rule in connection with the cases
brought before him was that he would
never issue a summons in any other

complainant first appeared before him
but would always tell the person asking
