g1ent Of packing house conditions and
the banishmeRt Of dangerous chemicals
from the nations diet
Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane Of
Kalamazoo. Mich, stole a march on
Upton sinclair by proclaiming that the
small meat producers IN the minor
cities and towns Of the country de-
manded investigation more than the
Chicago packing plants. since they
we're not under government inspection
She said:
7 DO not intend 70 talk about the
meat which is under Federal inspec-
ton. bat I wish 70 cali attention TO the
tact that millions Of pounds the great-
er part Of the food supply Of the nation.
OF totally uninspected meat Is being
consumed daily. In the small packing
houses which do not ship outside Of
their state filthy conditions prevail
and diseased animals are slaughtered
The way We can pretend 10 protect
ourselves = in buying meat that falls
under the interstate commerce law and
Is marked with the government stamp.
Of course, il Is folly 10 expect that the
general public viii take the precaution.
Union abat1oirs and rigid inspection 4
the only remedy for these evils. The
club women OF the country must take
