from South Omaha explained to the coun-
Gil in detail the character of beef slaugh-
tered by the independent packers and sold
by them to Omaha meat markets, and the
independent packers were out in force to
defend their side of the question. The
packers denied that they deal in diseased
meat. and said they were willing to have
their places inspected, but object to pay
ing for that inspection. The health COM
missioner declared they ought to pay the
price or else make their plants sanitary

inspection furnished by 1t to the large
packing houses doing an interstate busi-
