The REPORT of Messrs. Reynolds aud
Neill concerning conditions in Chicago
mest-packing houses, published on the
first page of today's Gazette, will be
read With interest by housekeepers who
have been purchasing western meat
Droducts. Not since Frank Leslie Por-
trsyed the swiI milk traffic ia New York
in the latter part of the ftties has the
public read such sn expose. For years
abe meat trust has practically driven all
competition from the field, aud people
have in most instances been forced
to buy meat, sausage, &c, which have
been prepared amid dirt and by dirty
people 10 Chicago packing houses.
Apart from all this, there is every reason
20 believe that animals that hsyedi 10
trsnsitu, or which have beeO partly dead
when they reached the packing houses
have been slaughtered. II is we'll
known fact that cattle or fowls after hav'
ing been kept on trains for forty eight
hours, and often longer, are heated and
not in healthy condition for slaughter
ing. 1t is no uncommon thing for three
or four cars of chickens to compose
parts of freight trains passing through
Alexandris. A certain percentage OF
the fowls are generally dead, while otherr
are dying from O7ercrOwding aud heat
Potted chicken, an uncertain compost
ton, is one of the products of western
packing houses.
