Meat inspection bill gains approval after Roosevelt talks

The measure sets a 3 million dollar annual appropriation, drops civil service protections for inspectors for one year, omits court review, and removes labeling dates and certain advisory language. It remains a substitute for the Beveridge amendment and returns to the committee for final changes.
