ests bearing his name, today stated that
he was in favor of federal and state
laws for rigid inspection of the pack
ing industry, saying: II want every

the business of the packers as a whole.
1T has hurt the canned goods trade to

placed in salt pickle then thrown out
and smoked in q crude way and put on
the market. All of this has changed"

to ask for a conference, and informed
