.|NS|NCERE CHARGE
CONCERNING MEAT
S. w. Mcclure Declares At
titude of Fowler of ILL
nois Inconsistent.

That tho action Of Representative
Fowler of Illinois, according to press
reports, IN condemning meat inspection
methods OF the United States and de-
manding a congressional investigation
thereof, when not less than three months
ago the representative voted to admit
meat from China, Japan, Asia and Afri
ca without any ipspec hon whatever. is
inslncere, is the opinion Of S. W. Nc
Clure, secretary of the National Wool.
growers association. Mr.. Mcclure saws
that meat conditions arc better in this
country than anywhere, aud points to
the $4,000, 900 worth OF meat and meat
food products condemned by federal
inspectors last year,
Mr. Mcclure says that he thinks 1t
strange that Congressman Fowler
eats meat from the Chicago packing
houses. The theory of tho representa-,
tive that poisonous prescrvatives arc
injected into meat is secuted by Mr.
Mcclure. He SAYS that if this were
true, the fluid would remain only in
one place and would not preserve. In
discussing meat packing conditions ne
said
Under the meat inspec tlon act of
the United States the use of any
injurious preservative is prohibited,
and the bureau of animal industry
has $500 men engaged in inspecting
every pound Of meat produced by
packers. In my opinion the meat
produced by the packing houses is
the cleanest and most healthful
possible.
A little over year ago Wis
consln congressman made various
charges against the packers, and
after thorough Investigation not
a single charge was sustained. The
So.called beef trust has been under
investigation for the last fifteen
years, and about the only result
has been little political prestige
for various uck-rakers.
