They were described as "downers" on the suspect tags at tached to them. Unable to walk, they were dragged to slaughter. Both cows had been sold for $5 each to the Manhattan City Dressed Beef Company, New York City, Had they not collapsed in their pens they would have been worth S3O each to the Brooklyn slaughterers, When it was seen that they did not have sufficient strength to limp aboard a ferry that paddles from Jersey City around the Battery to Brooklyn, they suffered a deprecia tion of $25 each on the spot, The post mortem made in my pres-! ence showed that both animals were completely honeycombed with tu-i hercules. After the slaughter I visited pen S No. 39, from which the downers had been dragged. There I saw sixtv-five ; cows which had been purchased bv S. 1 & H. Plaut and Robert Plaut. & Son for slaughter, Many of them had rainbow backs! and large lumps in the neck. They were all so emaciated, shrivelled, and' shrunken that the very thought of their being worked up into raw bo logna was enough to make any hu man being revolt in the presence of such a degraded industry. In my hand were the "statements of Congressman Chandler and Dr. New ton. I laid them before Dr. Robert M. Mulling*, the .government official in charge, who, with Dr. Frederick Wilson, supervising the post mortems made by Dr. E. C. Yoder on a batch of sixty condemned cows culled from a certified herd. I appealed to Dr. Mailing's to stop the inter-State shipment of these cows to Brooklyn. Dr. Thomas J. Keene of the Bu reau of Animal Industry joined the party at this point and it was sug RXBRXSBURQ TELEGRAPH ' gestefl that we had all better pro ceed to pen No. 39 to see what could be done. i "I might as well stop this inter-State traffic of diseased animals with this batch,'" said Dr. Mullings. "They can j not go to Brooklyn. But in preventing i their shipment to Brooklyn they will 11 simply be taken off our hands and 1 j killed here in the State of New Jersey, j "We will put every cow in the lot I Immediately, They are a bad bunch | through a physical examination .and the result ought, to be all that Is necessary to Btop the daily shipment i' of such old bandboxes to these yards." ! The commission men at once pro i tested vigorously , "Why should we have to lose $2,500 !on this lot of cows?" cried Sam : j Saunders, ono of the cattle brokers. "We have already paid shippers for | the cows and now if the government ' takes them the Plauts will not puy us. | We receive only a head for our : commission, and in selling this bunch I we have only done what, the govern j ment has allowed us to d# for years. "Why were these cows not con demned before we sold them? j "Why should they be taken when it ' is too late for us to recover the money I we have invested in them? We won't stand for such business!" he shouted. "You will stand for it," responded Dr. Mullings. "You have been in the cattle buying business for thirty years. You know diseased cows when you see them. You are an expert. You have been dragged into every court case that I can remlember to testify as to your expert knowledge of cows. You should have known these animals were diseased. "It is none of the government's ■ business who stands the loss. But it |is the government's business to stop i this inter-State traffic, and it is going to be stopped right here. "If you want to go to Washington i over my head you may go, but you will find a pretty cold reception when you get as far as Dr. Melvin, chief |of the bureau. He has ordered us to! ' put a stop to this business, and it is | going to stop." The commission men stood by while the sixty-five cows were run through a gangway, which permitted but one ; cow to be passed at a time. Dr. Wilson made an examination of i the cervical glands in each cow's neck ; and as a result put an embargo on thirty-two of the sixty-five cows. In releasing the other thirty-three cows, Dr. Wilson said: "Many of the cows which I have been unable to hold through this ex amination may be rotten with tuber culosis. I cannot take a look at the insides of the animal. Nobody can. I have taken the cows that show thell disease from the outside only. SuchV .cows as these demonstrate the neces-, sity of municipal slaughter houses and I 'State control along .the lines which j I l the federal government has adopted, j I "If every State could be made to! j | realize that this same condition is 1 duplicated every day in every city of i i the country there would be an awful I yell, The trouble Is that the people | j don't realize it and, furthermore, they I j don't seem able to realize it," Dr. Keene said; "From what I know of the depart-: j ment's attitude toward the inter-State I shipment of diseased animals, Dr. j : Mullings' action in preventing the < shipment of this lot will be upheld, .1 It is quite evident that every cow J that comes into the Jersey City yards I should be put through the game! ' physical examination before it is per-; mitted to be shipped to Brooklyn or! to any other point outside the State, 1 "If the New Jersey public does not 1 wish to eat the fiesh of such ani-1 ! mals after they are kept out of New. ] York City it is up to them to adopt! measures that will protect them. The government cannot follow every dis eased cow that gets out of its hands i under the lax regulations of individ-'] ual States." I DECEMBER 20, 1916.
