THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26,. 1917. VJDfll FS4I F MFAT PROFITS LIMITED BY GOVERNMENT Head of Meat Division of Food Administration Regu lates Business to Lower Prices, Stabilize Market. Larger Packers1 Allowed Nine v Per Cent on. Average Cap , ital Used, 15 Per Cent on By-Products Temporarily. ion Intends to "abolish speculative profits and to prevent unfair profits." "After investigation and considera tion it has been determined to permit packers (except the five larger ones) to earn an annual profit equal to 2.5 per cent of their total annual sales," says the report. "This profit is to be net after expenses are paid; interest on money borrowed will be treated as an expense, but expenses do not include federal taxes. Two Classes of Packers "Tne five large packers stand in a different class. It has been determined that the meat business of the large packers will be subject to the same re strictions as the smaller packers and to a further and additional restric tion ; that the total annual earnings of the large packer from his 'meat busi ness' shall be limited to 9 per cent on his average capital." The small packers, as a result, prob ably will reap greater rewards from the meat industry than the five larger ones. Their gain is based on "turn over" of sales, probably resulting in 10 per cent profit a year. Meat prices will be cut as a result of the regulations, Cotton' declared. He refused to say to what extent present prices would be reduced. Reductions in by-products also will result, he said. Chicago, Nov. 26. U. P.) Profits ofl the wholesale meat Industry have been cut to ly, per cent on each dollar' of sales, with the five Jarge packers of the country further restricted to a year ly profit of per cent on the average capital used in the business and tempor axy returns of 15 per cent on by-prod ucts. Joseph P. Cotton, head of the meat division of the federal food administra tion, has announced this policy. The restrictions cover the business from No vember 1, 1917. , Packers are prohibited from adjusting the price of one variety of meat at the expense of others. Their business will be the subject of close scrutiny by the administration. They will not be per mitted to conceal or divert the returns by use of other industries. Small pack ers will be protected from the larger ones. ' Details to Come Later The details of how all this Is to be accomplished were not given out in the statement by Cotton. Further regula tions and details of the government con trol will follow. Cotton said. Special orders for particular packers will be announced later. Packers of the nation are divided Into two groups. Armour & Co., Cudahy St Co., Morris & Co., Swift A Co., Wilson A, Co. are in one division and other pack ers are In the second class. The five larger packers are to be charged with the duty of supplying all meats for the allied and United States governments, The others will be. required to furnish meats for domestic consumption, the re port Indicated. Hy-ProdHets Inquiry .to Open Investigations of by-products of the packing Business, consisting of ' hides, wool. fat. bones, offal and tankage, pro duce and feeds not primarily of animal nautre, soap, tanned leather, glue and fertiliser" 1s to be undertaken immeai ately. The regulation of 15 per cent profit in these by-product trades is tem porary, Cotton announced. A permanent profit regulation will be made following the investigation. "The packer should be permitted to earn in these specialty branches a fair profit, but not more than other con cerns in the same lines of business," said Cotton's report. "On the other hand, it is clear that any attempt to . . - .1 -. .V. - Kiol. TeKUlRl UIQ VL "rout uuo- ness must make certain that profits are not diverted or concealed in the spe cialty department."
