Unofficially, however, |, nouncement The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits, stated that the five large meat packers have been profiteering and Uses they have a'‘monopoly of the market. These | conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of seri- ous concern not only to those engaged inthe meat ‘packing business but to.every other citizen of. our country. * The figures given on profits ‘are misleading andthe statement that the packers have a monopoly i is: un- supported by the facts. ‘The packers mentioned in the rapere stand ready to prove their profits reasonable and necessary. The meat business is one of the largest American in- -dustries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself _with’ its details must be prepared for large totals. “The 1 report states that the aggregate profits of four ‘large packers were $140,000,000 for the three war years. ‘This sum ‘is compared ‘with $19,000,000 as the average annual profit for the three years before the war; mak- ing it appear that the war profit was wh 000,000 igreater'than:the pre-war profit. This compares a three-year profit with a orie-year profit—a manifestly unfair method of comparison. It 4s not only misleading, but the Federal Trade Com- mission apparently has made a mistake in the figures themselves. : The ‘aggregate three-year profit of $140,000,000. was earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It means about three cents on each dollar of sales— or a. mere fraction of a cent per pound of product. Packers’ profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit. Furthermore—and this is very important—only’ a small portion of this profit has been paid‘in dividends. The balance has been put back into the businesses. It had to be, as you realize when you consider the :prob- lems the Packers have had to solve—and solve quickly —during these war years. To conduct this busines in war times, with higher costs and the necessity of paying two.or three times the for- mer prices for live stock, has required the use of two -or three times the ordinary-amount of working capital. { |) AUSTRALIAN TROOPS ADVANCE ON SOMME || London, July 8.—Austra- ie || iah’ trodps last ‘night ad- '“vanced their line astride the ' Somme slightly on a front of | 3,000 yards, says the official | | report from Field Marshal | \ | ‘Haig today.’ Several prison- free. f \ ‘para Lit ae he pee kh Povets; feos tama ou 3.

If you are unacquainted with business, talk this matter over with some business acquaintance—with your banker, say—and ask him to compare profits of the packing indtistry with those of any other large industry at the present time. No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commis- sion'in'support'of the statement that the large pack- ers have a monopoly. The Commiission’s own ‘report ‘shows 'the large number and imporenes of oer packers. The packers mentioned in the statement stand feady to prove to any fair minded person that they’are ‘in keen competition with each other, and that they have “no power‘to manipulate prices. n Mah Tf this were'not true they would not dare to inake this positive statement. us Furthermore, governrient figures show'that the five large packers mentioned in the report account for only about one-third'of the meat business of the country, : They wish it were possible to interest'you in the details of their business. Of how, for instance, they edn sell dressed beef for less than the cost of the live animal, owing to utilization of by-products, and of the wonder- ful story of the methods of distribution throughout this‘ bread land, as well as in ‘other countries.
