profeering that they have monopo of the market
These concsons fair and just matters OF serious con-

but 10 every citizen Of our country,
The figures given on profits are misleading and the state

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 industries
Anv citizen who would aniIarize himself with its details
must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits Of four large
hackers were ST. 100000 for the three years.
This sum is compared with $l9000000 the average
annual profit for the three years before the making 1t

the pr.:war profit.
This compares thrceyear profit with oneyear pr0fta
u7ancsty unfair method Of comparison Ii not only mis-

made mistake in the figures themselves.

about three cents on each dollar Of sae-or fraction
of a cent per pound of product.
