THE NEW MEAT LAW.
Secretary Wilson Met In Chicago Chief
Inspectors of Every Large City.
Chicago, May 7. Secretary of Ag
riculture James Wilson met here the
chief meat Inspector of every Urge
city In the country to discuss the appli
cation of the new meat law. The con
ferees proceeded to the I'nlon Stock
yards, where the conference was hold.
The yards and packing houses were
first Inspected, after which uu execu
tive meeting was held.
Dr. T. H. Melvin, chief of the bureau
of animal industry, in an address de
clared that on July 1, lflOii, there were
engaged In meat inspection at HI3 es'
tahlishments 704 employes. There are
now 2,204 employes at G09 establish
ments. There have been granted to
retail dealers or butchers 3,558 certlfl
cates of exemption. Inspection has
been withdrawn from 40 of tbe estah
lishments principally on account of
failure to obtain proper sanitation and
the usa of prohibited preservatives.
"The approximate cost," said Mr.
Melvin, "of the Inspection as conduct
ed at this time is for cattle and calves
5 cents per head; for swine, sheep nnd
goats, 3 cents per head, and for the in
spection of meats received at official
establishments from other establish'
ments one-half of one mili per pound."
In conclusion. Dr. Melvin declared
that the greatest difficulty, thus far,
had been the attainment of cleanliness.
Conditions were, however, In his opln
Ion, working for the better.
