The meat inspection amendment of !. June 30, 1906, was passed after the j bitterest flght which Congress had ex perienced for many years. From 1896 to 1906 every session of Congress resisted the pressure of the people In their clamor for meat in spection that would really Inspect. When the 1906 law was passed it carried with it an annual appropria tion of 13,000,000 for Its enforcement. It provided for antemortem and post mortem Inspection of animals (in fed eral Inspected establishments only.) On the surface this meant that the Bringing Up Father (ft) (?J) Copyright, 1916, International News Service (U) f~~ 1 VfcLl_-|F Yrvi vv/f "1 TH * T VHERE YOU ARE HELUO - DOCTOR!

I It had the effect of making the peo | pie exclaim. "Well, at least Uncle Sam is on guard and we need not bother our heads any more about the dangers of diseased meat." i The people gave no thought to the fact that the new law failed to pro vide in any manner for the control of interstate shipments of living tuber cular animals from the cattle ranges and farms of one State to the stock yards and slaughterhouses of another State. Through this loophole in the law an underground parade of horrors has been passing for ten years. Not un til a dreadful crisis was reached in Oc tober. 1916, were the people disposed to believe the almost incredible truth HARRISBURG tfSßfa TELEGRAPH concerning these unnatural practices. Not until Justice James C. Cron sey, sitting in the Supreme Court of Kings county, Brooklyn, sentenced a number of convicted slaughterers to Sing Sing, October 4, 1916, was any tangible evidence of all this deviltry disclosed. The law of 1906, notwithstanding Its i feebleness, as finally revealed In )916, j was, nevertheless, entirely too drastic' !to suit the packers. So, in 1908, In re ] sponse to the commercial demands of a I group of slaughterers, a new set of I regulations, with which Congress had nothing whatsoever to do. was issued by the Secretary of Agriculture. These newer regulations were mild er in tone than those which preceded I them, and they have been followed by i other regulations still milder. | The public, never suspecting the true | nature of these regulations nor the ; alarming extent to which they have failed to do the work that has been reverently attributed to them, now stands face to face with the facts. The only excuse for the existence of the Bureau of Animal Industry lies in its supposed ability to prevent the consumption of diseased animals for human food. This result is not now being accomplished and has never been accomplished. Under the present system the so called good animals, culled by a process of careful selection before slaughter, are tagged while In the possession of the packers with an O. K. : The diseased animals, culled out as bad risks by the packers' cattle buy- 1 ers, are. shifted to the uninspected establishments, where they are slaugh tered and dressed for food purposes. The packers employ the most ex perienced cattle buyers In tlu* world. I These cattle buyers arc required to make antemortem examinations of a kind that will protect their employers ' from loss. Their Job is to reject animals that are obviously sick. The average cat tle buyer becomes so expert, even as layman, that he can tell by looking at an animal suffering from general ized tuberculosis that that animal is a poor risk and Is likely to be con demned in any federal Inspected estab lishment in the country. Merely by looking at the animal he can diagnose extreme cases of disease with as much ease as the average lay man can recognize In ills fellow the last stages of tuberculosis. Thus the bad risks are either not shipped to the packers at all or are rejected when they arrive. As a result the discarded beast, which if killed in a federal inspected estab lishment would be sent to the condemn- ' ed tank. Is asked to make its way into J the stomachs of the people through , other establishments. Thus the diseased four-footer con forms with the red tape, makes a de- | tour. Is slaughtered, dressed for mar ket, and finally appears as roasts, steaks and stews for restaurants, board- Inghojises and crowded settlements or as boned meat for bologna and frank furter manufacturers.
