Answer:
The Meat Inspection Act
Explanation:
I read this document based question (DBQ) last year and it had many passages from his novel.
I read the novel too and it had many things about how the meat was in a very dirty area and how rats were roaming about the meat.
He really has a lot of descriptions about the meat packing industry.
<u>Some citations from the book.</u>
"This is no fairy story and no joke; the meat will be shoveled into carts and the man who did the shoveling will not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one." (Chapter 14)
"All day long the blazing midsummer sun beat down upon that square mile of abominations: upon tens of thousands of cattle crowded into pens whose wooden floors stank and steamed contagion; upon bare, blistering, cinder-strewn railroad tracks and huge blocks of dingy meat factories, whose labyrinthine passages defied a breath of fresh air to penetrate them; and there are not merely rivers of hot blood and carloads of moist flesh, and rendering—vats and soup cauldrons, glue—factories and fertilizer tanks, that smelt like the craters of hell—there are also tons of garbage festering in the sun, and the greasy laundry of the workers hung out to dry and dining rooms littered with food black with flies, and toilet rooms that are open sewers." (Chapter 26)
