BEVERIDGES STATEMENT.
Senator Reyerdge today made the
following statement In reference 20 the
controversy between The president and
Mr. Wadsworth. regarding the night
inspection clause Of the amendment 90
the agricultural bin reported by Mr..
committee:
I'm my opinion the Wadsvorih sub
srtute does make the omission re-
feTed 90. u provides, 10 usc lts eX-
act language. Am examination and iu-
spection 81 an meat food products
and for the purpose 81 such examina-
ton and Inspections said Inspectors
shall have access al all times 20 every
part Of said establishments
The Wadsworth substitute does not .
present inspectors In the packing .
houses for any other purposes "But az /
uirht time, when no work Is supposed T.
10 be- done and no meat supposed 10 BE- /
Inspected. BE- the time when improper /
lrsciises are said 10 occur IN the |
packing houses Certainly. then Is the /
Time when any improper practises /
would occur
Therefore my bill provides that the |
Inspectors shall have access during the I
night time as wei a. during the day
lime 20 any establishment herelnhefore
ies Hbed. without respect as u whether
lr not any slaugfteTing or other work
+ being done therein. The purpose 81
his bin Is ~ put the packing houses
Under the Surveillance 81 the insrcc-
ors when closed as well as when open.
This provision, which I deem most
important the Wadsworth substitute
units
"Mr Wadworih thinks his language
overs this serious point 90 not. Al
he very least. therefore there is an
.mphatic difference 81 opinion. And In
avs as vital as this. affecting the health
nd lives - the people. its provisions
hould BE- made clear beyond dispute.
