Plain Facts About The Meat Business
The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on
war profits, stated that the five large meat packers have
been profiteering and that they have a monopoly of the
market.
t
These conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of serious
concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the state
ment that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported
by the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove
their profits reasonable and necessary. "
The meat business is one of the largest American indus
tries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals.
The 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
j-.nnual profits for the three years before the war, making
it appear that the war profit was $121,000,000 greater than
the pre-war profit.
This compares a three-year profit. with a one-year profit
a manifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not only
misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission 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 s conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermoreand 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 problems the
packers have had to solve and solve quickly during
these war years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two or three times the form
er prices for live stock, has required the use of two or
three times the ordinary amount of working capital. The
additional profit makes only a fair return on this, and as
has been stated, the larger portion of the profits earned
1 as been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to
provide additions and improvements made necessary by
the enormous demands of our army and navy and the
Allies. "
If you are a business man you will appreciate the signifi
cance of these facts. If you are unacquainted with busi
ness, talk this matter over with some business acquaint
ancewith your banker, say and ask him to compare
profits of the packing industry with those of any other
large industry at the present time.
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the statement that the large packers have a
monopoly. The Commission's own report shows the large
number and importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove to any fair minded person that they are in keen
competition with each other, and thai they have no power
to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore, government 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 can sell dressed
beef for less than the cost of the live animal, owing to
utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful story of
4.he methods of distribution throughout this broad land,
as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
They have been able to do a big job for your goverment
in its time of need; they have met .-ill war time demands
promptly and completely and they are, willing to trust
their case to the f airmindedness of the American people
with the facts before them.

devastated Serbia, Belgium and north

siuih a degree of iunomousuem that
they could not pnasihly recover in a

would have fought the next war and
won it and Serbia and these other
countries would have 'become German

not iblie conquering of these occupied

cannot rise again for itwo generations,
"Wo can pee again her deep set

and satnnio .means of increasing the
male population of Germany. The first

Germany, to form pnit of' the' future

portatiou of the men of Belgium, men
who will never return if Gernmny can
prevent it. is another phase. It is cal
culated that they will either volun
tarily ir through eompnlsinn form some
sort of liasou with the surplus women
of Gernmny aud produce offspring
which in twenty years will be avail
able fodder for powder. There ar al
,so hundred of thousands of young wo
men .in Germany who are at present
unattached Ibocause of the absence of
their huailwnds t the front. To Ger

is to Lust until a child is Oorn, when
it Automatically is to fcaso, the child
being either retained by the mother
or gent to an institution to be reared
that he may form a unit in tho future
Dint tonal dtfense.
"The next development," wid the
speaker, "concerns the women wha
have been widowed through the war
and tho men who have been crippled
as to ibe no further use in the war
area. It is somewhat difficult for us
to conceive how, in this enlightened
age, a supposedly civilized nation can
so foul the beauty of motherhood, so
depreciate the great moral value ot
womanhood, as to turn tho whole com
munity iuto an official human stock
farm by making simply brood animals
out of it women.
"But will these diabolical schemes
nwkt Will the kaiser ever realize thru
this war or the next his dream of
world empire? The wisdom and knowl
edge of this world fails as it strives to
pierce the future but the (ith verse of
our text tells us in the revised version
that there shall be an abundance of
wisdom and knowledge in these times.
And in our enrch after some, glimpse
of light wo turn to the sacred word of
God ' prophecies.
"The prophet Ianiel tells us of a
n-omteiful vision in his second chap
ter a vision which gives us the history
ef tho world over S.'iOO years and tells
us of the next, world kingdom. In just
eight short verses the prophet ex
plains the great image which Nebiich
adnezzar the king of Babylon saw in
vision. The image was great in stature
land had a head male of pure gold,
his ibrea-st and arms were of silver and
his thighs of brass, his legs 'iron and
his feet part of iron and part of clay.
The prophet reveals the hed to repre
iseirt. the great Babylonian kingdom
which ru'ed tho entire world in its day,
and held ui'mited sway over -all peo
ples in the earth. The great goldea
kingdom of a golden age. The silver
breast and arms represented the next
great woria power which wrenched its
Kwer from th hands of the Babylon
ians, aud this kingdom was followed by
the one represented by the brass thighs
which every school boy knows was the
kingidom of Grecia, which gained con
trol of the world in a few short years
under the hand of Alexander the
Grent. Then came Rome, .the iron mon
archy, as Gibbon refers to it, represent
ed .by the .legs of iron in the image
which the king saw. Then come the
feet part of potters clay and rart of
iron which the prophet interpreted as
representing the disintegration of the
great Roman empire. This breaking up
is shown in history by the barbarian
hordes coming down upon Rome from
the north, and .they make up the na
tions which ar now ruling the world
and which re now at each other's
throats striving for fhesupremacy.
"In the 43rd verse we read, 'Anl
whereas, thou sawest iron mixed with
miry clay, they shall mingle themselv
es with the seed of men; but they shall
not cleave one to another, even as iron
is not mixed with clay.' All through
the history of Kurape from the down
fall of the last great world empire of
Rwue aimbitious men have tried to
cement together this broken kingdom.
Charlemagne tried it, Charles V tried
U, Louis XIV tried it . and Napoleon
tried it but only to meet his Water
loo. And now Kaiser Wilhelm is trying
it trying the impossible which so
many have failed in achieving before
him, but none having giwen the Satan
ic, preparation to it that 'he has. But
the fiat of the Almighty is against
him. 'They (shall not cleave one to the
other.' The drea.m is smashed at every
trial- Men have tried to cement them
selves together through marriage, un
til ;he crowned heads of Kurcpc are but
one large family, tmt this too has failed
as the prophet said it would fail.
"What then is to become of thes?
scattered kingdoms as we find them to
day. The folrbwing verse, the' 4-Uh
versfl. gives us the lilit of heaven up
on the question befoie us. We read,
'And in the days of these kings shall
the God of heaven set up a" kingdom,
which shall never be destroyed; and
the kingdom shall not be left to other
people, but it shall break in pieces
and "consume all these kingdoms, and
it shall stand forever.' No where is it
said that the Hun shall set up a world
kingdom," said Mr. Dickson. "No.
my f riaods, it doesn 't say that. It
takes more than the word of any kais
er, more than the teaching of 1000
years of kultur, to ibring that to pass.
But it doeg say 'In the days of these
kings shall the God of heaven set up a
kingdom which shall never be destroy
ed.' While tho present nations of Eu
rope are still rilling the world Jbhs.
will come and set up His Majestia king
dom. Let us prepare to meet ifim."

might and the public is invited to at

vital themes beforo men today is giv
