Meat Shippers and Packers
Are Aroused by the Recent
Raids of Federal inspectors

The recent raid by Federal meat in
spectors which resulted in the indict-
ment of q number of shippers and
packers has caused a Juror among
the beef men throughout the entire
State. The indictments charge the
meat dealers with shipping meat
which had not been properly inspect
ed but behind it all the Federal
prosecutors declare that there are
more serious charges.
The dealers affected by the So
called raid are UP in arms and are
preparing to make a strong fight
against what they term an outrage.
The Edward Fleckenstein Sons Com
pany, of Jersey City, which is among
the indicted, Is greatly enraged over
the charge preferred against the con-
Germ.
Its perfectly ridiculous" Edward
+. Fleckenstein said today. Every
ounce of meat we shipped to New
York or anywhere else bore the gov
eminent label and proper stamp of
inspection"
"A few weeks ago, we shipped 412
pounds of beef to New York on which
the inspection stamp was not prop
erly affixed. but 1t was there just
the same and just because of this
technicality we must suffer the pub
licity of a Federal indictment The
maximum fine for shipping the meat
without the stamp is only $50, but I
will spend $500 in defending the case
next Tuesday and proving that we
had the inspection stamp affixed"
The other dealers who were indict-
ed are Just as wrought up as the
Jersey City concern and are prepared
to make a fight against the charges.

ing Done by Association for

plishing great deal"
