WASHINGTON, June 26.—The meat inspection amendment to the agricul- tural bill probably will be returned to the Senate and House as a cause of disagreement. The conferees twice had it under discussion today and the indications are that the differences in regard to the payment for inspection by the packers or by the Government, or whether the date of inspection must be placed on cans of meat, are ir- reconcilable. Another effort to get to-- gether will be made at 10 o'clock to- morrow. A complete agreement was reached on all other matters in the bill. | Practically all of the important | amendments concerning the usual | features of the agricultural bill were accepted by the House conferees. These amendments include appropriations of $15,000 for the establishment at points of export of laboratories to examine and report upon the nature, quality and condition of seed or grain, to serve as a basis for the fixing of defi- | nite grades, and $5000 for investigat- | ing the Insect known as the “white| fly,” which affects orange trees. | Amendments were retained providing that 10 per cent of all money received from each forest reserve each year shall | be pald to the States or Territories in which the reserves are situated, to be expended for the benefit of the pub- lic schools and roads; also the amend- ment for an investigation of the effect of cold storage upon the-gealthfulness of foods.
