THIS WORLD: \UPTON SINCLAIR SUG GESTS REMEDY FOR SLAUGHTER-HOUSE HORRORS: Sixth and Last Article in the Ser-es! Written by the Author of “The Jungle” Especially for The Evening World. PROOF THAT MEAT IS SOLD WHICH IS UNFIT TO EAT. German System of Municipal Slaughter-Houses, Which Are Run Like Hospitals, Says Mr. | Sinclair, Would Wipe Cut All the Present Evils. "The Evening World toxjay presents the sixth and last article in the series written exclusively for this newspaper by Upton Sinclair, author of “The Jungle,” dealing with the horrors of the Chicago packing-houses and the condemned meat in Having proved his case and told} how he obtained his informatic Ar. Sinclair suggests as a remedy for the evil the establishment of municipal slaughter-houses on the plan of Germany, where they are operated like hospitals, on a clean and sanitary | basis, obviating all possibility of talnted or diseased meat being sold to consumers in the retail markets. vi. BY UPTON SINCLAIR. In the preceding papers of this sertes I have told a little of what @ myself saw of the Condemned-Meat Industry, and also of the conditions of living and working of the wage-slaves of the Beef Trust. It seams to ma that it will be well in the concluding paper to say something about the remedy for these evil conditions, so that the reader may be left, not with | a sense of helpless rage and despair, but with an tidea of something to} work for. I take {t for granted that no right-minded and honest human being can read of such tiiings without a desire to do what lies in his power to remedy them. If there are any who are still unconvinced by all the evidence which | has been offered, both officially and unofficially, during the last two weeks, I shall not stop to argue with them. I shall assume for the purpose of the present discussion that two propositions have been proven First, that the Beef Trust sells a great deal of food which is not fit to be eaten, and prepares it in unhealthful surroundings; and, second, that it maltreats {ts working people, and pays them less than a living wage. Let us consider the first proposition. I recollect when I first came to| this task and tried to get other people to believe the things which I had! 7p seen with my own eyes, the arguments which were brought against me. They were impossible, everybody said. In the first place, as a simple) siness proposition, it would not pay the big packers to do the things escribed; they had too much Ke, they had too x Everything that they did had to be done through the ag and so their workingmen would know about eve out about it.
