DEBATE ON MEAT
INSPECTION IN
THE j. s. SENATE

Washington, June Ex-senator Proctor
today called up I'm the senate the agri-
cultural appropriation bill and made the
usual motion for agreement TO the re-
quest for a conference. He then made a
statement concerning the house suhsti-
tute for the meat inspection provision,
saying that there were two essential
points of difference between the two
houses. One OF these he said, was the
omission by the house OF the senate pro-
vision requiring that the date OF inspec-
tion be placed on cans containing meat.
and the other the transfer OF the cost OF
inspection from the packers to the nation
al reasury.
Speaking OF the latter change he said
that IL was radical and In the his opinion
unwise. and advised that the house
amendment on that point be not accepted
The packers could. he declared, afford the
expense -as-aH- advertisement -Proe-
tor also charged that the numerous pro-
tests which have been coming TO the
senate on this subject have a common
origin in Chicago
Senator beverage agreed with Mr.
Proctor as to the unwisdom of the house
changes In the matters OF date OF labels
and cost OF inspection, but expressed
qualification that the provision for night
surveillance had been retained. The two
essenffon changes he considered as most
important, declaring that II the date is
not TO be used IL will be possible to pass
on as fresh meat that which may have
been inspected five years ago.
