ARE SIMPLY REVOLTING CONDITIONS IN CHICAGO PACK- INGHOUSES AS REPORTED TO THE P\RESIDENT. | MESSAGE TO GONGRESS ON SUBJECT SAYS DRASTIC LEGISLATION IS IMPERATIVE IN THE INTER- EST OF DECENCY. ‘Washington, June 5.—The following message of President Roosevelt con- cerning conditions in the Chicago stock yards has been sent to con- gress: I transmit herewith the report of Mr. James Bronson Reynolds and Com- missioner Charles P. Neill, the-Special commission whom I appointed to in- vestigate into the conditions in the stock yards of Chicago and report thereon to me. This report is of a preliminary nature. I submit it to you now because it shows the urgent need of immediate action by congress in the direction of providing a drastic ‘and thorough going inspection by the federal government of all stock yards and packinghouses and of their prod- uots so far as the latter enter into in- terstate or foreign commerce. The conditions shown by even this short inspection to exist in the Chicago stock yards are simply revolting. It is imperatively necessary in the inter- est of decency that they should be radically changed. Under the exist- ing law it is wholly impossible to se- cure satisfactory results. ATTENTION ATTRACTED BY DEPARTMENT REPORT. When my attention was first direct- ed to this matter an investigation w: made under the bureau of animal in- dustry of the department of agricul- ture. When the preliminary state- ments of this Investigation were brought to my attention they showed such defects in the law and such wholly unexpected conditions that I deemed it hest to have a furthet com- mission investigation by men not con- nected with the bureau and accord- ingly appointed Messrs. Reynolds and Neill. It was impossible under the existing law that satisfactory work should be done by the bureau of ani- mal industry. Before I had received the 1epm-0. of Messrs, Reynolds and Neill [ had di- rected . that labels placed upon any package of meat food products should state only that the carcass of the ani- mal from which the meat was taken had been inspected at the time of slaughter. If inspection of meat food products at all stages of preparation is not secured by the passage of legis- lation recommended I shall feel com- pelled to order that inspection labels and certificates on canned products shall not be used hereafter. METHODS UNCLEANLY AND DANGEROUS TO HEALTH. The report shows that the stock yards and packinghouses are not kept even reasonably clean and that the method of handling and preparing food products is uncleanly and dan- gerous to health, Under existing law the national government has mno power to enforce inspection of the many forms of prepared meat food products .that are daily going from the packinghouses into interstate com- merce. Owing to an inadequate ap- propriation the department of agricul- ture is not even able to place inspec- tors in all establishments desiring them. The present law prohibits the shipment of uninspected meat to for- eign- countries, but there is no pro- vision forbidding the shipment of un- Inspected meats in interstate com- merce and thus the avenues of inter- state commerce are left open to traffic in diseased or spoiled meats. If, as has been alleged on seemingly good authority, further evils exist, such as the improper use of chemicals and dyes, the government lacks power fo remedy them. A new law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general government to inspect and supervise from the hoof to the can the preparation of the meat food prod- uct. The evil seems to be much less in the sale of dressed carcasses than in the sale of canned and other pre- pared products and very much less as regards products sent abroad than as regards these used at home. BELIEVES PACKERS SHOULD PAY COST OF INSPECTION. In my judgment the expense of in- spection should be paid by a fee lev- ied on each animal slaughtered. If this is not done the whole purpose of the law can at any time be defeated through an #asufficient appropriation and whenever there was no particular public interest in the subject it would be not only easy but natural to make the appropriation insufficient. If it ‘was not for this consideration I should favor the government paying for the inspection. The alarm expressed in certain quarters concerning this feature should be allayed by a realization of the fact that in no case under such a law will the cost of inspection exceed 8 cents per head. I call special attention to the fact that this report is preliminary and that the investigation is still unfin- fshed. It is not yet possible {o report on the allpged abuses in the use of deleterious chemical compounds in connection with canning and preserv- ing meat products, nor on the alleged doctoring in this fashion of tainted meat and of products returned to the packers as having grown unsalable or unusable irom age or from other rea- sons. Grave allegations are made in reference to abuses of this nature. HEALTH AND COMFORT OF a3 EMPLOYES WHOLLY iGNORED. | Department superintendents “seem to ignore all considerations except the account book” and proper care of the products and of health and comfort of the employes is inipossible and the consumer consequently suffers. Tu- berculosis victims expectorate on the spongy wooden floors of the dark ‘workrooms, from which falling scraps of meat are shoveled up to be later converted into food products. “Ever the ordinary decencles of life are com. pletely ignored,” says the report in discussing the arrangements for men and women employes. The report says: “The whole situation as.we saw it in these huge establishments tends necessarily and inevitably to the moral degradation of thousands of workers. who are forced to spend their working hours under conditions that are en tirely unnecessary and unpardonable and which are a constant menace not only to.their own health but to the health of those who use the food prod- ucts prepared by them.” Read the Daily Pioneer.
