PROTEST BY BUTCHERS.
Germans Petition Against ReJaaing
Meat Regulations.

Berlin. June 2-The petition of the German
Butchers Association sent Chancellor BIZ
low and Minister of Agriculture Podbelski
against any treaty arrangement with the United
States permitting increased imports of meat. de-
clares that the directors of the association have
learned that the great slaughterng companies in
the United States, in order TO expand their sales
abroad. intend to seek relaxation of the German
sanitary customs regulations in the prospective
commercial treaty negota tons between Germany
and the United States. The butchers OF Germany
therefore beg the Chancellor. in the interest OF
public health and the material interests both OF
the butchers and farmers. not to consider such
relaxation.
The argument supporting the request includes
comparison between the numbers of animals
jected for slaughter, based the official statistics
of both countries showing that the Prussan and
other German inspectors disallow two four times
as many animals the Americans 1t finds
reason for this, not in the superior health OF the
American food animals. but in the character OF the
inspection.

The investigators to be of such prominence
that their findings will be accepted in this coun-
try and Europe. AS the first step in carrying
out his plan, the Mayor sent telegram to Sec
retary Wilson, of the Department of Agricult-

operate with the city in naming the invesu-
gators. If this is done, the recommendations of
the commission be embodied in the federal
as well as the municipal inspection rules.
The Mayors telegram. seeking the co-opera-
ton of the federal authorities, was sent after
he had discussed the plan with Health Com
missioner Whalen. The latter has taken the
position that cattle locally infected need not be
condemned. and declares that so long as the in
fected parts removed the meat is wholesome
The Mayor says there is no doubt of the out
