No Hope For Cheaper Beef


Lueien II Swift, president Of Swift
& Co., the great Chicago packing con
Germ, taxes public ereduIitY by his state
ment that there is no combination
among the packers to control either the
purchase Of livestock or the sale Of
packing house products. The evidence
produced at the various so-called beef
trust hearings at Chicago with respect
to the harmonious policy Of the packers
suggests either that the managers Of
the packing plants are mind readers or
that there is some kind of at least in
formal agreement for limitation Of
competition. The remarkable eoinci-
dence OF action as to both buying and
selling is otherwise inexplicable.
But as to another phase Of the con-
troyersy President Swift makes most
effective point This is his statement
that the margin Of profit on sales DUR
ing the last year was only / 1-2 per
cent. The earnings Of the Swift Com
panv for the year were $4,200,000, and
Hi this were only i-2 per cent Of the
gross business, the sales Of the company
last year were S250,000,000. II these
figures are correct no considerable in
crease in the sum paid for live stock q
decrease in the price charged for meat
seems possible.
If by the government action or other
wise the whole profits Of the company
we're confscated and the amount dIvid.
ed equally among live stock raiseFs and
consumers, The one would receive and
the other would pay only three-fourth'
of / per cent more than at present
This difference il not appreciable anc
suggests that II the price for live stock
IS unduly low and for meat unduly higl
the cause must be sought elsewhere
than among the packers. Prom the New

G. A. Peck of East Middlebury has
been in Middlebury for the past few
DAYS and has been looking over the
ground for possibilities of locating a
box factory in the village. Several
places have been inspected and Mr.
Peck seems most fayorably impressed
with the upper floor of the Emerson
mill and propositions for locating there
are being considered. If the factory
should be located in these quarters the
power for running the same would be
furnished by the Emerson mill, and
when running would employ from IS to
20 men.
