Report on Conditions in Chicago Stock Yards Packing Houses
Neill and Reynolds summarize two weeks of investigation in Chicago and a brief look in New York slaughterhouses. They describe filthy, unsanitary floors and handling, unsanitary room practices, and workers shoving meat on dirty surfaces. They criticize the lack of government inspection beyond killing, warn of contamination through processing, and urge national government action to protect health and workers amid moral degradation.
