WOULD STOP MEAT PROBE

Congress Receives Many Protests From Cattle Breeders Against Any Further investigation. Washington. May 17. —The cattle breeders’ associations of the west and southwest intimately connected with the ipacking Interests, are making final efforts to prevent a complete investigation of the unhygienic conditions that surround the slaughter and distribution of beef. Congress is being flooded with protests against further exposure. Absolutely no doubt exists, however, that in spite of these protests the committee on expenditures in the department of agriculture will order a full and complete investigation.
