MEAT PACKER
ISEXONERATED
Wilson and Company Are
Cleared of Charges of
Furnishing Bad Meat.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 1s.-The federal
trade commission. finding that the
charges made against Wilson & Co.
Of furnishing unwholesome meats to
the army and navy were based on
wrong information. has dismissed the
charges. after a most searching and
prolonged investigation.
Thomas E Wilson. president Of
Wilson & Co.. made the following
statement:
Full details OF the federal trade
commissions decision have not yet
reached me. but We have never had
the slightest doubt that we would be
completely exonerated. The moment
the charges were made 1 personally
asked the commission for an imme-
date hearing and investigation This
request was granted and the first
hearing was in New York. while the
concluding hearing was in Washing
ton. I am glad TO say that the hear
ings were ably and fairly conducted
by the commission It certainly in
vestigated every charge against US in
the most searching way and left no
avenue of possible evidence unnOticed-
On our part, I believe I am right in
saying that not only did we present
all the evidence We had in our own
defence, but that we freely offered
every available bit OF information to
the commission which would enable
it TO sift the charges to the bottom
and arrive at a definite final decision
Without criticising the federal
trade commission, which acted within
its powers. I am more than justified
in saying that the published reports
Of the charges and the hearings, both
in newspapers and in various other
periodicals worked incalculable harm
to Wilson & Co. This injury is in the
minds Of the public and was occas-
Toned by the impression given the
average individual by what seemed
10 be valid statements that Wilson &
Co. had been guilty Of fragrant dis
regard Of the rights Of the people as
well as Of the common decencies Of
business. 1t will take a long time.
years. in fact. before this impression
wears out Of the public mind
This decision, coming at this time.
Will strengthen the faith OF the public
in the ability and integrity Of those
officials OF the army and navy whose
duty It is TO purchase food supplies
for our forces. as well as. I hope, in
the carefulness and exactness with
which Wilson & Co. IS and has been
