Public Outcry Over Packers and Food Adulteration
A long editorial argues packers and the meat industry threaten public health. It cites boric acid and sulphites in meats, reports from North Dakota and Kentucky on preservatives, and recalls Chicago health department findings while noting the withdrawal of city inspectors from stockyards. It warns voters will demand action in the next presidential year and calls for stronger federal oversight.
