reason for this fact is that pesnle

Harms of Fremont, former government
meat inspector, whose letter of resigna-
ton to Secretary of Agriculture James A.
Wilson brought about the recent investi-
cation of the National stockyards at
East St. Louis. today made public an
open letter to Secretary Wilson urging a
general investigation of the inspection
departments of the various packing plants
OF the country.
In his letter Mr.. Harms says that he
has letters from meat inspectors located
from Philadelphia TO San Francisco ask
ing to be given the opportunity to tell
what they know of conditions at other
stations. He says he had been repeatedly
informed the inspections at the National
stockyards at East St Louis was su-
perior to that of any other station.
Secretary Wilson says he has not re-
ceived Inspector Harms letter. Owing
to the character of the report of the spe-
cial commission sent to ST. Louis to in
vestigate Harms original charges he is
not inclined to pay any attention 10 the
open letter.
The report of this commission has not
yet been made public. but is in the hands
OF the Secretary. 1t is understood it does
not substantiate the contentious OF
