Packing, House .Information To Be Given Out by Chief Executive. Washington, June 2. — President Roosevelt has decided to make public the report of Prof. Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, and James 13/ Reynolds, of New York, concerning the conditions of the meat packing es tablishments ah they found them pn an Inquiry Instituted by the President, primarily for n{f own information The report will bo sent to Congress next Monday. It will be accompanied by a special message from President Roosevelt, In which he will take .strong ground in favor of immediate and drastic legislation to correct the evils which are exposed In the report. The President had not expected td make- public the report of Commis sioner Nelli and Mr. Reynolds. He felt that Its publication might Injure the packing house Industry in this country. Primarily, the Information contained In the report was obtained to be used as a basis for the legisla tion proposed In the amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill by Senator Beveridge. He did not im agine /there would be serious oppost tion to a proposition to afford such in spection of meats prepared for domes tic cpnsumptlon'as is afforded to meat products intended for shipment abroad. The meat packers, however, rose in arms against the Beveridge amend ment, being Insistent in opposition to it not only jn principle, but on the question of paying for the proposed inspection. The President decided, therefore, to make public the Nelil-Reynolds report, which has been presented to him in writing. It will soon be cantaloupe time. Messrs. J. A. Rumney and J. A.
