Profits made by the big meat-packing com panies in' the first three years, of .the war, 1915 to 1917, "doubled, trebled and quadrupled," according to a spe cial report of the federal trade com mission made public last night. From 1912 to 1914, the report said. the "big five" Morris & Co., Wilson & Co., Cudahy Packing company. Ar mour & Co., and Swift & Co. made average annual profits of 159,500,000, while the next three years their net return averaged Sl-92, 000,000. The commission called attention to I the packers' announcement that profits amounted to only "two or I three cents per dollar of sales," and I said that in an -industry like those I under consideration, which turn over I a product very .rapidly, this is the I "equivalent of a high rate of return on net worth (15 per cent or more).' Rate on investment, not rate on sales, furnishes the correct method whereby the reasonableness of profits may be determined," the report added. Financial statistics used by the packers in their recent advertising campaign "are not based on accepted methods of determining costs and ac cordingly dependence can not be placed upon them." the report said. At the beginning of 1919 the report estimated the combined assets of the I big five, $1,300,000,000, their combined net worth at $535,000,000 and aggre gate sales for the previous year at $3,200,000,000.

The heads of the 17 railroad brotherhoods issuea a statement tonight expressing ap prehension as to the effect of further d-iv in meetincr the workers' re- quest for increased wages. The brotherhood officers arrived in Chi cago for the resumption tomorrow of wage hearings betore tne railway bor. board. The statement in part follows: "The country is face to face with the menace of a breakdown in transpor tation service. Already the efficiency and safety of the service have been eriously impaired by the action of thousands of employes who volun tarily have quit to find higher wages elsewhere. The car shortage now threatening to ston the wheels of all industry in in the country is one of the first ef fects traceable to the failure to pro vide the railway workers with a liv lnr wage. "We have presented our case for a living wage for the workers." Expert opinion, predicated on incontrovert ible facts, indicates that the lowest figure at which a famrly of five can be maintained in health and reason able comfort is $2a00 a year. "We have also submitted evidence proving that- only two and one half oer cent of the whole army ol ran road workers are receiving a living wage today. "More than 600.000 railway em ployes do not earn in a normal work ing year $1075, below which figure nearly three-quarters of the families are undernourished and seven-eighths are underclad. "Here is the entire transportation system of the country, not with rts unskilled labor alone below the level of subsistence but with seven-eighths of its entire working force below this level and a large proportion actually below the starvation wage. :. "The average yearly wage- paid to the entire number of railroad workers in the United States today is $12S0.38 for a normal working year of 30t eight-hour days, allowing nothing for ickne8s. .emergency or irregularity of employment. - "ISo great is the issue that there which means that if you don't like LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes you can get your money back from the dealer.
