The extensive use of wooden equip

is cut and wooden carts in which the
various parts are handled-was found
to exist in Armour's, as described in
the report. This is true even of the
new hog-killing house, which is de-
clared by the packers to be model Of
it's kind.
AS pointed out by the investigators
the main part Of the carcasses go thru
the process under comparatively im-
maculate conditions. The filthy element
j of the handling is incident to the dis
position of the lesser products. On
wooden-covered table, surrounded by
dozen men with flying knives, great
trough delivers at regular intervals the
head Of the hog. First it goes to one,
who ships off a piece, and then to an
other, who ships off another piece and

sausage is made is ever taken from the

Journal Special Service.
Chicago. June 5.-Impe11ed by dis
closures at the stockyards, Mayor
Dunno has announced new municipal
ownership project.
He has declared himself in favor Of
the city owning slaughtering plant
where the. packers would be compelled
to kill their cattle and prepare the meat
for sale to the public under strict
municipal supervision.
The only difficulty foreseen by the
mayor is the problem of raising the
necessary funds for such an undertake
ing. He will confer with Alderman
Frank /. Bennett, chairman of the
council finance committee, and other
members Of the city council, to see If
there is not some way of finding the
money.
Europe as Example.
: II think the only solution of this
entire problem is the construction of a
municipal abattoir, operated on sani-
tary lines and under strict regula-
tions, the mayor said, in explaining
his new plan for municipal ownership
of the slaughter houses.
There Is no reason why large city
like Chicago should not operate an
abattoir, where all cattle should be
killed. under the direction of the city
authorities. This plan is adopted in
Europe successfully and should be pos
sible here. 1t would be place where.
the packers would bring cattle and
sheep to be slaughtered by the munich
pal authorities and they would, OF
course, have to pay for the mainte-
nance of the plant. VI
The only question is that of funds.
The city has always been hampered by
this lack of money. It would take q.
