FOR MEAT INSPECTION.
House Committee Making Slow Prog
ress on Measure.

For three hours today the House COM
mittee on agriculture devoted itself to the
preparation of meat inspection amend
ment to the agricultural appropriation bill.
Sixteen members of the committee attend
ed the meeting. The result of the morning
session. as announced by members pres
ent. was that the first two paragraphs Of
the Beverage amendment had been gone
over and one or two minor amendments,
relating to the verbiage, had been agreed
upon.
The progress OF the consideration Was 40
slow that several members, who Saturday
believed an agreement could be reached in
two or three hours, now say that the whole
week win be consumed. Each OF the sfx-
teen members at the session today had
many things to say as the confederation
proceeded, and this occasioned delay
The statement of the cattlemen at the
hearings last week that the President
would have to be suited In any bill which
Is passed is being observed by the commit
tee. and 1t Is understood that he was In
communication with the committee room

that would be declared unconstitutional by
the courts, and these have been eliminated
In the new bill. But Il Is safe TO say that
the President Is not approving OF any
measure that makes q radical departure
from the Beverage amendment. and while
Mr.. wilson, the representative OF the
packers has prepared a bill OF his own.
which he would like to see passed, the
packers seemingly have sought the timber
for the time being and are willing to let
any measure through that will give them
the Presidents wise on sanitary conditions
in the slaughter houses
The agitation has already cost the pack
ers an immense amount of money In the
trade. both foreign and domestic, that
has been lost, and things have reached such
stage that public confidence will not be
restored by any legislation that falls short
OF approval at the White House. This the
packers realize they must have at all COSTS
and they appear willing to shoulder the
cost. with the belief always In the back
ground that they will be able to shoulder u
