.PACKINGTOWN RIVALED
BY CONDITIONS IN UTAH
Loathsome and Startling Facts About
Slaughter Houses Exposed by Off
Gals of State Health Board.
Diseased Animals are Killed for Meat Amid Conditions of Re-
voting Filth - Some Relief in Sight.

According to officials Of the state
health board. the legislation recently
enacted authorizing Inspections of
slaughter houses was not only sorely
needed but is w9efully inadequate to
meet conditions that are described as
revolving and a menace to the public
health
Revelations almost as startling as
those made concerning she Chicago
packing houses in Upton Sinclair's
The Jungle" and which created a ma
tional scandal, were made yesterday
by Or. T. &. Beatty, secretary of the
state board of health. and DIT. f. z.
Clark, sanitary inspector of the board,
regarding conditions existing in Utah
slaughter houses.
According to DR.. Clark. who has per
sOnally visited many of these institu-
tons. so per cent of them are in a
filthy and unsanitaTy condition, max
ing their products unfit for human food.
All of them are Of q local character,
and as they do not ship meat out of
the state. do not come under the su-
pervision of the national inspection law
recently passed by congress.
Il would not dare eat any pork IN
less 1 Know tnat II comes from q SAM
tary slaughter house" said DR.. Clark.
Recently l visited 2 slaughter house
at Logan, which was so disgustingly
/ filthy that l cannot see how people who
/ live in the naighbCrhOOd can eat the
meat which is dressed there. The -
/ adjustment is located just outside the
] city limits. The pen where the hogs
are kept is almost knee deep in filth
and there the animals are allowed tC
wallow until the time for slaughter
/ comes. In the rear is a pile of bones
! skulls and Offal which partly covers Z
fence, and which sIDits most terrible
odor. Inside the place the condition!
/ are even Worse. No attempt is made Il
j clean the animals before they ar
/ slaughtered, and the employees are no
given to taking precautions. AS a mat
ter of fact, they must wade through {
perfect sea of mud IN the way to work
and there are no adequate lavatoTie!

No Cooling Place.

Probably the worst feature is that
there is no cooling place i'm which to
hang the dressed product. The meat is
exposed to the warm air and thus every
possible chance is given for germs to
cCntaminate it. Often putTefactiOn- sets
in before it Is shipped to market"
This is only a sample of the. cOndi-
lions existing in slaughter houses all
over the state, says DR.. Clark. In his
capacity as sanitary inspector he has
underworld to put AL end to some Of the
evils, but with little success. because
there has been no adequate law on the
statute books governing such cases.
The best he can do is to apply to the
courts for an injunction declaring the
place a nuisance. and this at the best
is long and tedious process.
At the recent session of the legisIa-
ture a law was passed giving the food
inspector power TO investigate slaughter
houses which. in his opinion, are not
being properly conducted. and to con-
denim meat found to be diseased. This.
however, is not mandatory. and il was
only at the earnest solicitation of Sen
stOr Walton that il succeeded in pass
ing. No fund is provided for its en-
forcement, ard at the best it will rem
edy existing conditions only in slight

Root of the Evils.

According to DrS. Beatty and Clark.
the root of the evils is in the fact that
a large percentage of the animals
slaughtered are diseased. In many of
these places" says DIR. Clrak, they
feed the hogs the offal from the bodies
of the animals already slaughtered, aud
Kill them while they are feeding on this
often diseased and contaminated sub
stance. All hogs should be fed on grain
for at least several days before they
are killed. 10 prevent disease symptoms
manifesting themselves"
In speaking of the number of dis
eased cattle, slaughtered, DR.. Beatty
said:
Il believe that half of the COWS and
steers killed in the state are afflicted
with lumpy jaw and tuberculosis.
From my Observable l would say
that this may be a small percentage
These cattle are often badly disea sed
when brought to the slaughter houses.
and as the farmers for this reason sell
them cheaper the slaughter hOuse men
eagerly seize them. There is much dis
eased meat on the local markets. but
because of inadequate inspection pro-
visions in the laws and also because
the laws themselves even now are in
adequate, it is difficult to suppress this
condition. only recently we con-
demned 1G0 dressed chickens which had
been sent here from California They
were in awful shape. and in some cases
were partly decayed. These chickens
were to have been sold to a local eat
/ ing establishment at cents q pound.
while tine market price for fresh chick
ems is Il cents. Under the new law we
hope to accomplish some good i'll this
line. but as ! have already said the
law is but a makeshift and is Just u

Takes Responsibility.
One Of tho very interesting features OF
the last days public session OF tho board
was the reading of correspondence be-
tween Chairman Gordon, Of the board,
and Chairman Byrd, Of the Legislative
Investigating committee.
Mr.. Byrd's letter, which Is found else
whero In full, completely exonerates all
suspicion Of having volunteered evidence
or information concerning the library
situation, and declares that 1t would
not be fair or just to punish witnesses
for testifying In obedience to a sub
poena OF the State. The chairman as
sumes all responsibility for the action OF
the library authorities In this regard, and
says 1t was at his command that the In
formation upon which the inquiry was
based came into his possession.
Mr. Byrd makes another very inter-
eSting statement Ill MS letter.
He declared that he Instructed Mr..
Evans to bring him the correspondence
concerning the Burk's History transact
ton. and when the letters had been
copied and certified by Mr.. Jeter, the
committee clerk. he (Mr Byrd) gave
the originals to Mr.. Evans and told
him to return them to tho library
files. The letter says that Mr.. Evans
later told Mr., Byrd that the papers had
boon re turned.
