cipal slaughtering establishments
were opened in 1888, which took the
place Of nearly 1000 private slaugh-
ter houses. In the United States
commercial consolidation has greatly
lessened the number of small slaugh-
ter houses, the concentration making
possible, if properly conducted, sys-
tenn of government inspection.
The packing industry in this coun-
try may be traced back to the seven
teenth century and to New England,
when and where large quantities of
pork were packed in barrels to be
sent out for foreign trade. The west

tie raising districts. The first pack
ing house in the west was located at
Cincinnati, established in 1918. This
city continued to lead in the indus
try for a number of years, but Chi
cage came to the fore, and other
towns forged ahead: Milwaukee, Kan
sas City, st. Louis and Omaha.

A writer makes declaration with
calm conviction that since 1891 the
whole packing industry of the coun-
try has been under rigid government
inspection. In the light of present
disclosures the assertion does not
carry the assurance it may have
when the words were fresh written;
even the most careless reader must
know the methods of meat inspec-
ton in this country bear no COM
parison whatever to those obtaining
in France and Germany, in which
countries regulation of the food sup
ply is more thorough and scientific
than here or in England.
Chicago is not the only city show
ing interest in the improving of
slaughter-house conditions. Over in
England the London county council
is taking steps for the establishment
of public abattoirs. and parliament
ary legislation thereto is looked for.
In the regulation of the slaughter and
sale of meat England is far behind
the two European countries named.
Parliament has not made enactment
for compulsory inspection. nor au-
thorized municipal slaughter houses.
However, several cities of Great Brit
ain have secured by special legisla-
ton the public abattoir; in Edin-
burgh abattoirs were opened back in
1851; in Manchester in 1872, and Bir-
mingham has city market similar
to the best markets of Germany. A
London correspondent, writing to the
New York Tribune on the subject OF
English Meat Inspection" says:
"The English precedents for niunIci-
pal management of abattoirs are not
so numerous as Mayor Dunno has
assumed them to be. When the pub

hardly .able to walk across the room;
