A Chicago Tribune analysis notes meat prices rising and packers profiting while the Federal Inspection law aims to curb abuses. Dr. A D Melvin cites many packers ignoring the law until rail shipments halt. Editorial calls for city or state inspection and stricter government checks on canned goods labeling and transit.
A call to Congress urges mandatory date labeling on all canned meats and for packers to pay all meat inspection costs. The piece condemns the Beef Trust for monopolizing meat, poultry, eggs, hides, and more, and cites health department condemnations of tuberculosis and cancer in meat as evidence of unsafe practices. It argues for state slaughterhouses and public sanitation to prevent disease and price gouging, and notes ongoing Senate battles over inspection funding.
