With one member trimming beef in a cannery, and another working in a
sausage factory, the family had a first-hand knowledge of the great majority of
Packingtown swindles. For it was the custom, as they found, whenever meat was so
spoiled that it could not be used for anything else, either to can it or else chop it up into
sausage. With what had been told them by Jonas, who had worked in the pickle rooms,
they could now study the whole of the spoiled meat industry on the inside, and read a
new and grim meaning into that old Packingtown jest - that they use everything of the
pig except the squeal.
