IF It can be shown at Washington that
this district is essentially a war zone
district or one in which munitions and
war supplies largely are being manu-
featured. government aid will be given
70 these public service corporations up
on the application of their officials for
such assistance.
This matter will be taken UP by city

sary financial aid for the erection of
filtration plant but also for the exten-
sion Of such gas and electric service

Are the Packers PrOfiteerS?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report
profits stated that the five large meat packers have been
prohteenng and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions if fair and just matters of serious
not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but every other citizen of country.
The figures gwen on profits misleading and the state
ment that the packers have monopoly is unsupported
by the facts.
The packers mentioned the report stand ready to prove
their profits reasonable and necessary
The business of the largest American indus
Any citizen who would famarize himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers $140000000 for the three years.
This is compared with $19O00000 the average
annual profit for the three years before the war making
appear that the profit 1921 100000 greater than
the pre-war profit.
This compares threeyear profit with oneyear profit
manfestly 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 $14OO00OOO
earned on sales of four and half billion dollars 1t
means about three cents each dollar of saes-or
fraction of a cent per pound OF product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices of live
and meats No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit
Furthermore and this is very important-ony small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the business 1t had to
be- you realize when you consider the proboems the
packers have had to solye-and solve quickly-during
these years
To conduct this business in times with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two three times the former
prices live stock has required the of three
times the ordinary amount of working capital The adj
ditiona profit makes only fair return this and has
been stated the larger portion of the profits earned has
