The Jungle and the Debate Over Federal Meat Inspection in 1906
N9-716-045 FEBRUARY 10, 2016 DAVID MOSS MARC CAMPASANO The Jungle and the Debate over Federal Meat Inspection in 1906 In early June 1906, the House Committee on Agriculture grilled the president’s investigators over which end of a dead hog had fallen into a Chicago slaughterhouse bathroom. President Theodore Roosevelt had sent the two investigators to verify allegations of unsanitary working conditions and diseased meat that had appeared in Upton Sinclair’s recent novel, The Jungle. The investigators confirmed many of Sinclair’s assertions, and noted that they had seen “a hog that had just been killed, cleaned, washed, and started on its way to the cooling room fall from the sliding rail to a dirty wooden 1 floor and slide part way into a filthy men’s privy” before being hung, uncleaned, with the other meat. The Agriculture Committee, which included many representatives friendly to the meatpacking industry, demanded details about the dropped hog and its subsequent processing. The hearing was part of a two-month congressional debate over possible meat inspection legislation, brought about by an unusual alliance between Roosevelt and Sinclair. The president, who sought to rein in industrial monopolies, had taken advantage of The Jungle’s popularity to campaign for a law to contain the “beef trust,” a small group of meatpackers that dominated the industry. Not long before, however, Roosevelt had decried writers like Sinclair for “raking the muck” and engaging in dangerous sensationalism.2 Attempting to explain his willingness to embrace Sinclair’s work in this case, the president would later say: [I]n the beef packing business I found that Sinclair was of real use. -
CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy. -
