Frauds practiced by meat dealers have resulted in an Investigation ot Chicago firms by the health depart­ ment of that city and have led to the suggestion that the preparation of horseflesh for the market be recog­ nized as an industry and be permitted under inspection and with license. De­ ception on the part of dealers who have placed the meat ou the local mar­ ket as beef has caused both the in­ vestigation and the attempt to regu­ late the trade. Efforts to secure evidence against the firms have not succeeded thus far. The meat w»s traced Into the estab­ lishment of one large Chicago firm, but when the health officials secured access to the barrels in which it had been packed a substitution of beef for the horse meat had been effected. The evidence was incomplete and the case was dropped, . In addition to the large firm a number of smaller establish­ ments have been suspected, upon what the health officials consider good grounds, of securing the meat and imposing it upon their custom­ ers as beef. The meat purchased from "foe estab­ lishments which kill horses for the trade is secured at about two ctints a pound. The profit "to the dishonest dealer who retails the meat' at the prices charged for beef is immense. There is one place in Arcitfer avenue which is recognhsed by th» health de­ partment without any definite policy having been established for the regu­ lation of such places in general. In the case of this dealer the department is assured that his trade is conducted honestly, tte sells to the foreign mar­ ket, principally in Sweden, and his meat is labeled plainly as horse meat Other establishments have sprung up in the city, and the dealers who con­ duct them are under the impression that their industry is carried on -with­ out the knowledge of the department. This supposition, the heaUfc oflLcials declare, is not well based, and arrests may follow .tiie.^i|^yery the meat is sold under a false name. 5 The trade has reached a stage .ai' which Secretary,! Pritchard of the de­ partment considers that it Should be licensed and recognized. The depart- Wnt then would place the firms un­ it. the the trade. . rrissrS it ggtSeago fey plainly labeled horse meat. Whatever galas are made, It la «M4, must be made by fraud, the meat being sold aa beef. In this the laws ax* broken and the dealer becomes liatrie to prosecu­ tion. No offenle is coatunltted by th4 aala of the meat as hotaafleah.
