Beef Trust Rider Antagonizes Packers in Senate
Senator Beveridge pushed a radical amendment to the agriculture appropriation to fund a government meat inspection for home consumption. The move, backed by the President, would cost the packing industry millions annually and faces stiff packing-house opposition. The issue ties to impending disclosures in a forthcoming book and potential shifts in how inspection applies to exports. Government officials note constitutional questions but say packers could be forced to terms if needed.

Sinclair urges municipal slaughterhouses to curb packers
Upton Sinclair argues for government owned slaughterhouses as the only effective solution to reform. He predicts the Beveridge amendment will be forgotten after enactment while packers continue deceitful canning of chicken and veal and selling under fake names. He cites European systems with state ownership, postmortem inspection, and strict labeling as models. The piece outlines Beveridge meat inspection provisions, including universal postmortem checks, sanitation rules, inspector access, and labeling requirements for canned or salted meats.
