Beef Trust a Menace Urges Illinois Probe and Action
A Chicago health bulletin cites 3,040,003 pounds of bad meat condemned in five months as proof of the Beef Trust’s danger. The Illinois Legislature is urged to investigate and curb the trust to protect public health amid calls against by products and questionable stockyard inspections. The piece cites tuberculosis and cancer fears linked to tainted meat and questions city and state enforcement.
