OF SENATE AMENDMENT TO

to Abuses Existing in the Packing.
houses at Chicago and Will Make
Them Public in the Event That the
Provision for Inspection Fails to Be.
come a Law.

Washington, May 2S.-An impor-
TAM conference was held at the White
House during the day regarding the
inspection amendment of SEN
ator Beveridge of Indiana to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill.
The president discussed the Ques-
ton with Senator Carter of Montana
and Professor Charles p. Neill, COM
missioner Of labor, who investigated
certain packinghouses. and later
talked over the matter With Senator
Beverage. \ part of the information
collected by Professor Neill and James
3. Reynolds of New York. who col
Elaborated with Professor Neill, has
been reduced to concrete form, but
the information, in its entirety, is not
in the form of official reports.
1t is not the present intention of
President Roosevelt to make public
this information. He does not regard
it as official in the same sense that
that term ordinarily is employed.
At the conclusion of the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing on the presidents
attitude:
Report Will Be Made Public.
The meat inspection amendment
placed in the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition of the packers
and their friends, who seem to be
bending every effort to defeat it. The
president says that if the bill is enact.
ed into a law he will be content to
remedy the evils complained OF
through the law. If, however, the
amendment is defeated he will feel
constrained in the discharge Of his
official duty to the public to send to
congress the reports in his possession
relating TO the abuses existing in the
packinghouses. He feels that it is
better to refrain from making the re
ports public, not through any regard
for the beef packers particularly, but
because an official statement Of the
facts would injure the stock raisers
of the country, thus making them in,
nocent victims of a line Of abuses for
which they were not primarily in any
n responsible.
The only answer that can be made
to the consumers of cur meats al
home and abroad will be the enact
ment of a law through which an eff.
cient and sufficient inspection shall be
made
