PROFITEERING
MEAT PACKERS
UNRESTRAINED

CHICAGO, July 13.-The leading
American meat packers have beer
increasing their capitalization at &
great rate lately. Within the last
month or so they have projected
new financing to the extent of $3.50,
100000. This dwarfs their capita
stocks on the breaking out of the
European war. The advances ir
capitalization are not without pur.
pose. Whatever their ultimate eff.
feet may be is not now plainly dis
cernable. but without doubt they
have bearing on the public during
the war and probably greater there
after.
Swift & Co., briefly to mention the
financing of the last few weeks
voted on May 13 to issue $50,000,-
900 of new stok, half of which was
stock dividend. Armour & Co. fol
lowed a couple of weeks ago with
the sale of $60,000,00O of deben-
ture bonds convertible into PREFER
ed stock, and almost simultaneously
made announcement of a forthcom-
ing issue of $50,000,O00 of common
stock. Manner of its disposition
was not disclosed.
The Swift capitalization now stands
at $15O,OOO 900. The new issue of
$50,000,000 common by Armour will
bring its capitalization to $15O,0O0,-
900. In ad jition, Armour will have
out the de1entures which may be
turned into $6O,OOO,OO more stock,
and if all are converted, Armour will
then have capital stock of $210,000,-
900.
Dividends must be paid on all
this stock.
These are great days for its pack
ers. Sales are totally unprecedented.
Huge as were the Armour & Co.
sales for 1917, the company reports
this year exceeds the same period
that its sales for the first part of
of last year by Alb per cent. The
packers are making tremendous pro-
fits from these hundreds of millions
of dollars of sales. They are putting
back much of their war profits into
the business and capitalizing them.
What will be the effect of this
huge capitalization, much of it based
on war profits, when days of peace
come and war sales fall off? Will
or will not the public of this and
other countries be asked to pay
extra prices for food in order that
dividends may be earned on the great
peace profits and the greater war
profits that the packers have gath
cred in and put back into their bust
ness and now are capitalizing?

THE POLICE HAVE
RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

In Vancouver Chief of Police Nc
Rae discharged few of his force
for joining a union and affiliating
with the Trades and Labor Council
The latter body, together with sew
eral prominent citizens took the
matter up with the commissioners
and Chief McRae and threshed the
matter out.
The chief, McRae, didn't think the
police had a right to form union
and thought the majority of them
didn't wish to, anyway.
The police commissioners were
worried over the affair.
The Trades and Labor Council
were sure the police have the right
to organize into union and the
citizens who interested themselves
in the controversy determined to
find out, and they did, by letting the
policemen decide the question for
themselves.
The British Columbia Federation
list says that throughout the entire
proceedings Chief of Police McRae
held firmly to the belief that only
minority of the force desired to
organize. The fact that ninety
odd men were initiated and had
become members did not swerve the
chief because, as he informed the
commissioners, he had reason to be-
lieve that great persuasion was
brought to bear upon from forty to
fifty of the men. In this positive
stand the chief was "bucked" strong
ly, it being asserted that the major
ity did want organization and af-
filiation.
Placed squarely before the threat
ened crisis, the chief ultimately sig
nified his willingness to put his
belief to the test, when urged to
do so by the mayor and commits
sloners. AS result three polls were
provided for. The ballots submitted
to the policemen called for a vote
on the following issues:
"Are you in favor of Police
mems Union? ?"
Are you in favor of affiliating
this union with the Trades and La
Dor Council ?"
The result of the ballot is as
follows:
Question No. l. Are you in ia
vor of forming a Policemens' Union i?
Voting in favor 100, against II,
spoilt ballots G.
Question No. 2. If so, are you
in favor of having said union affili
ated with the Trades and Labor
Council?
Voting in favor 92, against 35.
spoilt ballots 5.
The result of the ballot removes
any doubts that may have existed
as to the desire of the men to re-
main in affiliation with the Trades
Council, and proves that Chief Nc
Rae did not gauge the situation
rightly.
The final conference was held on
Thursday afternoon, at the close of
which the men who were discharged
were ordered reinstated by the po-
lice commissioners and the police
men have after long waiting es-
tablished their right to organize
and to associate with whom they
will.

able to take care of all expenses.
Dawson made an unusual showing in
this respect. The crowd Friday even
ing was the largest ever assembled
in the school auditorium.

The association will meet in Fitz-
gerald next year. Officers were elect
ed as follows: President, Superin-

DIR. j. S. Stewart, state high school

meet and made short address at

The faculty deserve much credit
for the able manner in which they
conducted the meet. Every detail
was thoroughly systematized and al
though numerous changes of one
kind and another had to be made
the entire program went off without
a hitch.
Dawson is glad to have entertain
ed the association. Such a meeting
is of inestimable value both to the
school and to the town.
The school gratefully acknowledges
and sincerely appreciates the hearty
cooperation of it's patrons and
friends in making the meet such a
success.
