REPORT ON PAIRING HOUSES
Expert Employed by Chicago Business
Men Tind Condition! Geaerally Good.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS UNDER WAY
Criticism of Sanitation and Hyalene
la Some of tbe Plants
Inspection of Carcasses
Efficient.
CHICAGO. July .-The report of the Joint
committee of the Chlcsgo Commercial asso
ciation nnd Illinois Manufacturers' associ
ation, appointed to Investigate the packing
Industries of Chicago, together with the re
port of the experts who accompanied them,
was made public today.
The committee says:
That a board of experts of the charicter
employed, with professional Ideals and
(iilded and Influenced by an aesthetic sense,
which embodies something of necessity and
something more of luxury should find th
product "wholesome," the yards "generally
clean" and the Inspection "efficient" seems
to your committee to cover the situation.
As a result of this Invest Ual Ion we our
selves hsve no hesitancy In statins; that the
meat produuets at tlTe yards are wholesome
and proper food. , . .
We find that the companies have been Im
proving the conditions and products from
yesr to yesr, that Improvements are con
stantly being made and will be made, and
we believe that the conditions and sur
roundings at the plants carefully protect
the quality of the product.
Experts on Committee.
The experts who accomranled the com
mittee were:
Dr. W. A. Evans, professor of pathology,
Tnlverslty of Illinois: Dr. Maximilian Her
tog, late pathologist. Hureau of Science,
Manila, P. 1.; Dr M. P. Ravrnal, paih
ologlst 10 the 1'lilppx institute, Phil
adelphia; Prof. A. T. Peters, L V. 1'nl
versity of Nebraska and Prof. M. H. Rey
nolds. D. V. 8., I'nlversity of Minnesota,
all eminent specialists. Their Investigation
occupied two weeks, during which they
made as thorough a study of conditions in
the yards and parking houses as they could
possibly make within that time. They say
that part of the most of the plants are up-to-date,
yet In each of these there are
some Sections that are indifferently good
and In most of them some things that they
cannot approve of.
The committee can cite no better evi
dence of the truth of this statement than
the very extenlve .Improvements that are
now under way elsewhere. These better
ments relate In some places to minor things,
and In others thev mean a complete re
building of old plants. Generally speaking
the more recently built plants are the best,
and much of the adverse criticism has had
Its origin at old buildings, whlqh have been
added to and adapted to expanding bus
iness. The Inspection of carcasses has been ob
served in operation In nil of the houses and
a very considerable amount of time has
been spent. In some cases for hours In suc
cession, at the same place studying this
department of the work. There are. un
questionable, certain features regarding
which some minor suggestions and crit
icisms might fairly be made, hut in gen
eral It was found that the Inspection of
the dead animal, up to the time the car
cass was separated and the organs passed
from the killing room was reasonably
careful, thorough, and, In general, effic
ient. '
The committee believes that the ante
mortem Inspection Is of far less Import
ance than the Inspection of the dressed
carcass and feels that If cither men or
funds could be relessed In part from this
Inspection and expended for additional pot
mortem work, an Increased efficiency might
result.
The committee considers It of the utmost
Importance that greatly Improved facilities
be provided In the United States for the
training of men In the important specialty
of meat Inspection.
. It Is the opinion of the committee that
animals reaching the yards dead do not
get Into the stock yards slaughtering
houses.
After carefully considering the procedure
directed by the government officials the
committee thinks it fairly certain that no
improper use Is made of unborn calves In
the Inspected plants.
It Is our opinion that the dressed meat
nf the yards Is wholesome and a proper
article dor humnn fooii .. . ,,,
tr?arleae'nnd ganltailnrn. :. .
i Regarding hygiene and' sanitation, .the
committee says, some of the water closets
are not of modern or proper construction,
not well located, often deficient, and often
ventilate into the work rooms. This they
regard as dangerous and unhygienic. In a
few houses they found satisfactory mod
ern water closets entirely new.- In' most
of them there were signs requesting the
operatives to wash their hands before re
turning to work. Some supervision Is ad
vised. The medical .members of the com
mittee paid especial attention to the health
of the operatives, particularly In regard to
tuberculosis. They were not able to de
tect. In the superficial examination any of
the disease.
"It Is certainly not true," the committee
says, ."that much spitting goes on. with con
sequent contamination of the food prod
ucts." In closing the report the committee refers
to the new United States meat Inspection
bill and Baya that, its provisions are so
stringent that If in Ita enforcement any
unwholesome meat unfit for human con
sumption gets into Interstate or foreign
cdjnmerce the responsibility for such a cir
cumstance must rest wl'.h the federal au
thorities. BRITISHER APPROVES SOLDIERS
London Man Says American Privates
Arc Best Appearing Hen
In Service.
WASHINGTON, July e. The military
appearance ot the soldier was a surprise
to George V. Winter, who came from Lon
don on invitation of the War department
to design certain Improvements In the
uniforms of the service which would bring
them In line with the acknowledged super
ior fit and makeup of the British uni
form. "The American soldier has the best build
and bearing In the world," declared Mr.
Winter on the eve of his departure for
New Tork. "I thought Tommy Atkins
was the best in line, but I am surprised
at what I have seen here. . While the
American soldier is not as beefy aa, the
Britisher, he I -marter' and better set
up. He Is the best looking soldier In the
world, superior to the fighting men of
Germany, Frar.ce or England. The only
Improvement In the uniforms is to give
him a better fit, giving full effect to hi
tine qualltle."
The patterns submitted by Mr. Winter
Indicate numerous mlnoV chsnges In the
uniforms, but no radical departure from
existing styles.
