DENIES
TRUCE IN DRUG FIGHT
Says Prosecution. Begun Shall 30
Pushed Without Waiting for
Eurther Inquiry.

Washington, D. c., June president
Roosevelt has declined to entertain the
proposition looking to further investiga-
ton of the alleged drug trust before the
proceedings recently instituted at In
dianapolis by the attorney general are
pushed. p
Following interviews with representa-
ttves of the National Association of Re-
tail druggists the president has conclud-
ed that he will leave the whole matter
in the hands of the department Of JUS
uce. 1t was stated at the department
that h investigation has been going on
for several months, that the depart
ment is entirely satisfied with the evil
dence secured and that the prosecution
will be conducted without delay.
In a memorial to the president the
retailers allege that they never had
been given a square deal"
The memorial calls special attention
to the fact that promises for prel;mtn-
aryshearings~were violated, although
the plans of the association had under
gone great changes to meet rulings by
the United States court OF appeals at
Philadelphia. The memorial expressly
states that the association was organ
lied to antagonize the trust, the views
in this respect being stated as follows:
"a air investigation woul demon
strate that the small dealers had been
compelled to associate themselves to
fight the trust idea. They are today at
the mercy of the mail order houses, the
department stores and great capitalists.
These people are not pharmacists, they
are not in the drug business as the 49,
600 pharmacists are-for the purpose of
making a living. but for the purpose of
the building up of a gigantic enterprise
Welding great nr0ftS In their efforts

tinuing to exist which compelled the
retail druggists to organize"

on RATE
BILL MADE NEW ONE
Injected Matter Into the Measure
Which Was Not Passed On
by Either House.

Washington, June Tt is expected
that the conference report on the rail-
road rate bill will be sent back to
conference as a result of the injection
of new matter in that bill. Efforts to
induce the net conferees to ask for
the recommittment Of the bill have
been unayailing, however.
They met with the house conferees
and considered the criticisms. Leaders
of both bodies decided to stand pat"
and not to reconsider the report unless
1t is sent back on points of order.
1t is conceded that there are four
changes in the bill to which points of
order might be sustained. The first is
h incorporation of the words trans
p%ortation of facilities in the provision
requiring every common carrier to file
with the commission copies of all con-
tracts with other common carriers In
relation to any traffic, transportation
or facilitiess affected by this act.
In section 4 he words 'or transport
tation' We're added to the provision
authorizing the commission to pass
upon the r~easonableness and business
of amy regulations or practices what
soever of such carrier or carriers af-
fecting such rates" Another amend
ment of the same character was made
to this section.
The fourth amendment subject to a
lOAAAS VI OAoSA Ao SAioI ~ lllol
the act shall take effect sixty days af-
ter Its passage.
The %conferees have held that the pro-
visions in relation to lateral or branch
lines, fixing the salaries of the secre-
tary and assistant secretary of the
commission and a number Of others to
which objection has been raised are
not subject to points of order for the
reason that while they are new matter
they We're inserted in amendments I'M
der dispute and are germane to such
amendments.
The pass amendment was considered.
and the indications are that it will be
amended to exempt railroad employees
and their families if the bill is sent
back to conference.
A campaign has alrepdy been begun
to defeat the anti-pass amendment.
Many kilograms AVE been received by
members of the house signed by Off
GERS of organizations Of railroad en-
ployes, reading:
Please use all means within your
power to stop passage of bill prohibit

ployes and their families"

SURE THERE HAS BEEN
NO DISCRIMINATION
President cassatt Returns From Eu-
rope to Help in the lnves-

Philadelphia, June CA. J. Cassatt.
president of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, has arrived home.
Mr.. Cassatt said he had returned
home to tax part in the investigation
by the board of directors of the Penn
matters that had been disclosed dur
ing his absence in the proceedings be-
fore the Interstate Commerce comunis-
sion. He had received only briesf Gable
reports from the Office OF the company
and knew nothing of the details, but
from these reports and cables to the
London press he nae learned that
charges had been made against GER
tain officials of the acceptance of
brides from coal operators.
The board would investigate all such
charges exhaustively and if any officer
or employee should be found guilty of
corrupt practices he would be SUM

Referring to the testimony Of COM
pany officers that they held stocks of
coal companies and to the inference
drawn by the newspapers that favor

scale had been practiced for the benefit
thus held Mr.. Cassatt said that while
such ownership by officers in a posi-
ton to exercise favoritism and there

X MAKE REPLY.
Declare Inspection is High Class, but
Would Welcome More.

Chicago, June flight of the big
packing establishments in Chicago is
sued a joint statement last night reply
ing to the charges made in the Neill-
Reynolds report of the investigation Of
the packing plants and President Roose-
Nelt's message to congress. The pack
ers declare that their plants are clean.
their methods of manufacture sani-
tary, their products wholesome. and
that for Gears doctors, chemists, sani-
tarians and official Investigators from
practically every civilized nation who
have made examinations of the meat
packing plants nave been satisfied in
every instance with the conditions ex-
listing in this industry. Despite this the
packers assert that they stand ready to
adopt any practical suggestions for inn
provements.
The companies which signed the
statement are Armour & Co., Swift &
Co., Nelson Morris & Co, G. H. Ham
mond company, Anglo-Anlerican Pro-
by, Schwarzchild, Sulzberger & Co.
The statement follows:
Tie question raised as to whether dis
.ased meats are sold by our packing
wants the facts. and the truth must be
told il the meat and live stock Industry is
TO have a square deal"
This vital side of the whole question,
SAp 10 ~ L -
dent Roosevelt's message, and all but
omitted from notice in the Ne.li-Reynolds
eport.
Every pound Of meat in our packing
houses comes from animals which are in
spected and passed on by trained veter-
mary agents of the department. of agri-
culture. This is the absolute fact. We
are not interested in animals condemned
before slaughter. We do not buy them.
Every animal bought by us is inspected
both before and after slaughter in accord
ance With the strictest inspection regula-
tons ever devised in any country, not
even excepting Germany. Every animal
or carcass that does not pass this rigid in
spection is condemned and disposed OF
under the personal supervision oA the
agents of the United States department. OF
agriculture.
The administration at Washington
knows these facts. The writer's of tho
Ne.ll-Reynolds report know them. That
these are the facts is reluctantly admitted
In their report, but even this slight reas-
surance to the public is Utmost buried in
We nave been believers in rigid animal
and meat inspection since the inspection
was first inauglrated. We have shown our
belief in it by s%houldering for the benefit
of the industry an annual loss of approxi-
mately $1,000, 00O-our loss on animals which
are bought as healthy AND condemned on
inspection after slaughter. And now, in
spite OF persistent Misrepresentation. we
are heartily in favor of making this in
spection more efficient, it tina can be
done, and Of extending operation Of the
law to cover the sanitary conditions Of
packing houses.
