Unable to walk. they were dragged

After the slaughter / visited pen

cows which had been purchased by S.

for slaughter.
Many of them had rainbow backs
and large Jumps in the neck They
were all so emaciated, shrivelied, and
shrunken that the very thought of
their being worked up into raw bo-

DIR. Thomas J. Keene of the Bu-

party at this point and it was sug-

gested that we had all better pro-
ceed to pen No. 80 to see what could
be done.
Il might as we'll stop this Interstate
traffic OF diseased animals with this
batch" said DR.. Mullings. They can
not go to Brooklyn. But in preventing
their shipment to Brooklyn they will
simply be taken off our hands and
killed here in the State of New Jersey.
I'VE will put every COW in the lot
Immediately. They are bad bunch
through physical examination
and the result ought to be all that is
necessary to stop the daily shipment
of such old bandboxes to these yards.
The commission men at once pro-
tested vigorously
Why should we have to lose $4,000
on this lot of cows?" cried Sam
Saunders, one of the cattle brokers.
I'VE have already paid shippers for
the cows and now If the government
takes them the Plauts will not pay us.
We receive only 81 a head for our
commission, and in selling this bunch
we have only done what. the govern
ment has allowed us to do for years.
why were these cows not con-
demned before we sold them?
why should they be taken when it
is too late for us to recover the money
we have invested in them? We won't
stand for such business" he shouted.
you will stand for it," responded
DIR. Mullings. you have been in the
cattle buying business for thirty
years. You know diseased cows when
you see them. You are an expert.
You have been dragged into every
court case that l can remember to
testify as to your expert knowledge
of cows. You should have known
these animals were diseased
ut is none of the government s
business who stands the loss But it
is the governments business to stop
this Interstate traffic, and it is going
to be stopped right here.
"If you want to go to Washington
over my head you may go, but you
will find a pretty cold reception when

you get as far as Dr.. Melvin, chief
of the bureau. He has ordered us to
put stop to this business, and it is
going to stop"
The commission men stood by while
the siXty-tive cows were run through
q gangway, which permitted but one
COW to be passed at q time
DIR. Wilson made an examination of
the cervical glands in each cows neck
and as result put an embargo on
thirty-two of the sixty-five cows
In releasing the other thirty-three
cows. DR.. Wilson said:
Many of the cows which | have
been unable to hold through this ex
animation may be rotten with tuber-
culosis. / cannot take a look at the
insides of the animal Nobody can!
| have taken the cows that show thel
disease from the outside only Such
cows as these demonstrate the neces-
sity of municipal slaughter houses and
State control along sthe lines which
the federal government has adopted
IF every State could be made to
realize that this same condition is
duplicated every day in every city of
yell, The trouble is that the people
don't realize it and. furthermore, they
don't seem able to realize It,"
Dr. Keene saidI
From what | know of the depart
ment's attitude toward the Interstate
shipment of diseased animals, DIR,
Mullings' action in preventing the
shipment of this lot will be upheld
1t is quite evident that every COW
that comes into the Jersey City yards
should be put through the same
physical examination before 1t is per-
mitted to be shipped to Brooklyn or
to any other point outside the State,
IF the New Jersey public does not
wish to eat the flesh of such ami
York City it is up to them to adopt
m measures that will protect them, The
government cannot follow every dis

under the lax regulations of individ-
