Beef Trust blamed for high living costs and unsafe meat
The piece argues Congress must require packers to print canning dates on labels and cover meat inspection costs. It criticizes the Beef Trust for raising prices, controlling meat, poultry, eggs, hides, and boots, and for selling diseased or poorly inspected meat. It cites Chicago Health Department data and presses for state slaughterhouses and stronger public oversight.
