Letter from Alfred R. Urion to Arthur Meeker

Letter from Alfred R. Urion to Arthur Meeker

Alfred R. Urion, acting as general counsel for Armour & Co., tells Arthur Meeker, vice president of the company, that it would be good for George B. Robbins, President of the Armour Car Lines and a director of the company, to come to Washington D.C. around the time the company’s showing before the House Committee on Interstate Commerce is completed, and that this will not be before the middle of the next week. Urion also comments on the progress of legislation, saying that precedents are not holding. Public feeling “now as aroused it must be quieted some,” and an unidentified Senator said that the wealthy and powerful should enlist the press to help mold public opinion.

A bill to establish a department of sanitary science

The text of a bill, H.R. 19181, presented by Representative Shiras to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. The bill proposes establishing an executive-level Department of Sanitary Science, as there are no Federal level protections for American citizens’ health even though animals have similar protection at the Federal level. Federal protection is needed because American citizens travel between states.
