DECLARE MEAT WHOLESOME
EXPERTS REPORT ON CoNDI-
TONS AT CHICAGO YARDS.
One Plant is Found Where. Com mtttee
Has Doubts of the Safety.of
Its Products.

Chicago, July 1.-THE report of the
COMMITTEE of experts of the Illinois
Manufacturers association and the
Chicago Commercial association,
while freely criticising some of the
existing conditions in the yards, de-
clares emphatica1ly that the food
produced by the packers is whole
some.
The experts defved into the manner
in which capcasses and meats are
handled, paid attention to the cloth
ing worn by the workmen as we'll as
to their physical condition, and es-
pecially Investigated the manner in
which the government, state and city
inspect the products of the packing
plants before they are placed upon
the market.
The report Declares that the tn
specti0n is In every case more rigid
than that employed tn the abattoirs
of Germany, and even recommends
that the inspection for certain dis
eases, including "lun1py Jaw" be in
some degree ameforated. 1t recon-
mends, hoWeper, that the govern
ment pay the greatest possible at
tention to the establishing of faci1i-
ties in the stockyards where men can
be trained lin the important special
ty of meat inspection"
In its report the committee did not
mention the names of any plants
which it investigated, but for it's
convenience in reference divided
them into three classes.
The third group, the report says,
relates to but one plant located out
side the yards, and in this plant con-
ditions were found which the COM
mittee declared rendered doubtful the
safety Of It's products.
In the second CLASS the COMMITTEE
found that the meat was handled in
such manner that It was wholesome
and fit for food, but, while this was
the case, the committee declares that
there wses so much Dirt In the build
ings, which are as rule old, that
they found considerable departure
from a proper esfhetm standpoint.
