Beef trust against proposed congressional interference
--Committee notified that government is powerless
to do anything until meat is in commerce-President
says tacts justify criticism
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)

made a separate roport on the meat
packing industry. The report says
that no deseased livestock is shippen to
the packing houses from communities
where there are government inspec

pose of preventing deceased cattle from
getting in trade at all.

other communication to congress last'
night, in jinswer to the criticisms of
his action in regard to the packing
