not know what else may have been

they know nothing about the ”coil-

Treatment of Employees.
'l‘lte neglect on the part of their
the rt-tntirrtnt-nts of cleanliness and
decency. oi the. employees must have an
lliililt‘llL‘P that. can not be exaggerated
izc the stock yards of Chicago. and
the attainment of such a stundrnd
should be the cout‘ern of the national
government and of ti e city of Chicago.
Treatment of Meats.
Ilnclcztnllness ins llumlllng Products.
«An absence of cleanliness was also
found everywhere in the handling of
meat being prepared for the various
moat-tom] products. After the killing.
carcasses are well washed. and up to
the time they reach the cooling room
are handled in a fairly sanitary and
cleanly uutnuor. - The parts that leave
"the cooling room for treatment in bulk
are also handled with regard to clean-
liness, but the parts that are sent from
the cooling room to those departnwn-ts
oi‘ the packing houses in which various
forms of meat products are prepared
are handled with no regard whatever
for cleanliness.
In some of the largest establish-
ments, skies that are sent. to what is
ltuown as the honing room. ar'e thrown
in a heap on the floor. The workers
climb over these heaps oi meat. select
the pieces they wish. and frantically
throw them down upon the dirty floor
beside their working bench. 2vcn in
cutting the meat upon the bench. the
worlt is usually held pressed against
their aprons. and these uproits were, as
a rule. indesrriluibiy filthy. They were
made in most cases of leather or of.
rtingit sucking and bore long necutnu-
lntwl grease and dirt. in only it few
pieces were suitable olicioth aprons
worn.
Moreover, men were soon to climb on
the tables upon which the uncut was
handled. They were seen at the lunch
hour sitting on the tables on the. spot
on which the meat product was bun-
dled. and oil this under the very eye
of the superintendent of the room.
showing that this was the common
practice. ,
Moat scraps warn also found being
shoveled into barrels or into machines
for shopping. These floors. it must be
noted, were in most cases damp and by
soggy. in dark. ill-ventilated rooms.
and the employees in utter ignorance
of cleanliness or danger to health ex-
pectoratcd at will upon them. In a
yard. we saw motif. sltovelod from

in lowering, morals and discouraging
cleanliness on the part of the workers
employed in the packing houses. Th9
whole. situation as we saw it in these
huge establishments tends nocttssurlly
and inevitably to the moral degrada-
tion of thousands of workers. who are
forced to spend their working hours
under conditions that are entirely of»
necessary and unpnrdoimbic, and
which are a 'ebnstnni menace. not only
to their health, but to tilt.- health of
those who use the food products No.

General suggestions they made are
as follows: ,
1. The number of inspectors should
be largely increased. so that special
assignments may be math.- for night

tion improving, it is really getting

In response to a question by Mr.
‘Sai‘taln. Mr. Eltvorthy. .suid».t.hnt the
ground had been. selected'by a direc-
o‘r‘bt‘ thoc‘tlrm and 'l‘. l. Raymond. who.
pointed out the spot where the fac-
tory was to be located. He said that
they really expected of the Merchants’
and MobnfactuVrers’V Association much
more assistancethan they had. receiv-
ed. his stilt! that they ‘had complain-
<le to the association bill secured no
satisfaction from them. and it became
rather tiresome withoutaay results.
He thought It strange that the officials
of the association should remain away
from them after inducing. theta to
come here.
Councilman Thompson asked if the
factory was located on the pieceot1
ground which was originally selected
for it. Mr. Elworihy said that he did
not know, but he was under the im-
pression that the site was not the
name.
Mr. Rothcrham. another rcpresentu
tive of the concern. thought that if
the pipe to the sewer in Concord
street could be lowered, it would give
temporary relief; also relief would be
gained if the ditch worn lowered.
‘ it was asked if the ditch were piped
sufficiently well so that thorn could be
no percolation, would there be any
dampness from the intervening soil.
Mr. Elworthy avoided a direct on-
swer. llc thought that the only thing
that could be done was to lower the
ditch.
(‘onnrllman Robins thought the
ditch should be lowered, piped and
sub-drained. .
Notes aggregating $17,000 were or-
tlered renewed.
t‘ouurilmnn ill-own brought. up the
matter of the selection of two addi-
tional policemen.
Tht- candidates were: Special Offic-
ers filtration. Toothill. ('orkcfur. Smith

Councilman Brown explained that
the department is very short of men

The motion was seconded by Conn

inated and the first ballot resulted in

The terms of two of the directors

Councilman Robins moved that the
clerk be instructed to ‘lraw orders for
$50 to cash of the fire companies. and
$25 in the. Fire Police.
Councilman Snrtnln brought up the
matter of a public float and Council-
man Mathcr moved that a stun of
money be appropriated.
Councilman Thompson said that
while he is heartily in favor of the
proposition he thought that in view of
the opinion of City Attorney John ll.
Light it would be rather hasty to take
it up. lie made it nan motion that
submit his opinion in. writing. .
(lonurllmun ilodwcll though that as
it bud been customary to act on the
opinion of the city attorney, they
should do so now and pay all due ro-
suect to his opinion.
fV Councilman Mather said that he was
in favor of the float and believed it
would be a good thing and ought to be
voted-
., Councilman Thom son said that the
