Inspection Of American meat prior to

says in his report, submitted to the
health committee Thursday:

agent Of one OF the largest meat eX-
polters OF the United Stats. Each

found 'strlpped'--that Is. the serous
membrane covering the costal pleura
had been removed. but ut places dis
tinct tubcrcular nOdules remained and
glandular invasion was manifest.
"Thcsc forelegs showed 10 evidence
OF having been previously inspected.
They were parts OF carcasses which, In
accordance with the regulations issued
by the bureau OF animal industry tO
the government meat inspectors detail
cd for duty In packing establishments
OF the United States, ought to have
been rejected as unfit for human food
and to have been rendered into tallow
after diseased parts had been re-
moved.
"Ths reveals that the inspection Is
not in conformity with government
regulations and lends credence to the
assertions made regarding the un'
trustworthiness Of the official inspec
tion which obtains In the United
States of America.
"This assertion also receives cor
roboration by a perusal of the figures
for 1909, as issued by the bureau OF
animal industry.
