lott was formerly connected with the
job printing concerns of this city and
is one Of the best men in the bust

another dry year here and the crops
are pretty slim. 1t certainly is hard
en- US to have two crop failures in
succession and it will take several
years of good crops to put this coun-
try back in shape. The prospects
this spring were excellent and every
body went in heavy to answer the call
for more wheat. 1t cost a great deal
of money to put in the crops this sea-

seed and feed. l wish now I wasn't
tied down here with my outfit-I'd
sure be in France with bells on. I'll

. HATS OFF TO THE TYPO {
Q GRAPHICAL UNION
By THEODORE ROOSEVELT
in Kansas City Star.

Published reports of the Internal
ional Typographical union issued from
Indianapolis, make very remarkable
showing and put that organization
high On the honor roll Of America for
the great war.
Forty-one hundred journeymen
members of the union and 700 appren-
tices are now in the military and ma
val forces Of the United States and
Canada. Seventyfive members have
already paid with their lives for their
devotion to their country. The union
has paid $4,000 mortuary benefits to
the widows, orphans or mothers OF
these men. The union, through it's ex-
ecutive council has invested 100000 in
the Liberty Loans, and subordinate To-
cal unions and Individual members
have invested more than $3,OOO,0OO in
the Liberty Loans.
These are wartime activities. Dur
ing the same period the International
Typographical union has continued al!
its ordinary benefit works. It has paid
over $3.50, 900 to 1900 old age pension.
ers, over 100000 in mortuary bene-
fits, and $4,000 to the Union Print
ers hsne at Colorado Springs. Every

dollar has been paid by the members
Of the organization in the form OF
regular dues and assessments. The
union neither solicits nor accepts con-
tributions to it's benefit funds.
During the same period, the union
has expended only $1,25O for strike
expenses. The union acts in thor
oughgoing patriotic fashion, on the
conviction there should be no strikes
or lockouts during the war. It's Of
ficers regard themselves as volunteers
in the army for the preservation OF
industrial peace, at least for the dur
alton of the war, and hope for long
after the war.
Such conduct offers striking con-
trast to the action Of certain corpora
tions, which, during this war, have re-
fused to permit their employees to or
ganize. Labor has as much right as
capital to organize. It is tyranny to
forbid the exercise of this right, just
as it is tyranny to misuse the power
acquired by organization. The people
of the United States do not believe in
tyranny and do believe in co-opera-
ton.
The International Typographical
union has offered an admirable exam
pie Of Americanism and patriotism.
It's attitude is typical Of the attitude
of organized labor generally. Hats off
to the international Typographical
union. And hats off to the working
men and working women Of the Unit
ed States.

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission it's recent report on war
profits stated that the five large meat packers have been
proteering and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions if fair and just are matters OF serious
not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country.
The figures given profits misleading and the state
men that the packers have monopoly is unsupported
by the facts.
The packers mentioned in 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 amarize himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers $14O, 900, 900 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with So 100000 the average
annual profit for the three before the war; making
appear that the profit was 1924 100000 greater
than the pre-War profit
This compares three year profit with oneyear profit
manifesy unfair method of comparison. 1t is not only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparent
ly has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate tfree-year profit of $14O,0OOOOO was
earned on sales of over and half billion dollars 1t
about three cents each dollar of sales-or mere
fraction of cent per pound of product
Packers profits are negligible factor in prices of live
stock and meats. No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit
Furthermore-and this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the businesses had to
be- as you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to so1ve-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 for live stock has required the use OF two or three
times the ordinary amount of working capital The adj
ditiona profit makes only fair return this and as has
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-07-11

been stated the larger portion of the profits earned has
been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to provide
additions and improvements made necessary by the
nous demands of our army and navy and the Allies
If you business you will appreciate the signi
of these facts If you unacquanted with bust
ness, talk this matter with business acquain
tance-with your banker, sayand 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
monopoly. The COMMISSIONS 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 in keen
competition with each other and that they have power
to manipulate prices.
If this 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 possible to interest you in the details of
their business Of how for instance they sell dressed
beef for less than the cost of the live ANIMAL owing to
utilization of byproducts, and of the wonderful story of
the methods of distribution throughout this broad land,
as we'll as in other countries.
with each other to the extent Of together presenting this
public statement
They have been able to do big job for your government
in it's time of need they have met all war time demands
promptly and completely and they willing to trust
their case to the faindedness of the American people

so to do for several stations, and arrived

The superintendent soon after this ex-
perlence, promulgated orders to run all
trains on the Erie Railroad by Geographic
ORDERS which was carried into effect though
1t received from all the engineers on the
road great opposition.
The telegraph as a means of communica-
ton commenced about this time to increase
IN Influence and importance; and to secure
public favor and patronage; and to be
strung out into all the large towns and
cities and more important business centers
1t not only followed the lines of the rail
roads; but became also one of the essential
outfits of the railroad itself
Cyrus w. Fields, with some English Cap
ltalist whom he had Interested undertook
in 1857 to lay submarine telegraphic cable
between the North American Continent and
Europe This cable parted three hundred
miles from shore and the attempt Of course
was unsuccessful. A second cable was laid
III 1888. "A few messages wereI sent through
this cable, but they were faint, and it soon
failed altogether Finally third cable was
laid in 1865, which proved to be success
Submarine cables have been laid in the
ocean, bed since then in many places.
The telegraph had now been extended not
only into all the larger towns and cities of
the country, but also to many Of the smaller
towns and villages, wherever there was
enough business to maintain telegraph Of
flee The business continued to increase in
large proportions; and the telegraph became
utility of national extent and of national
Importance.
1t was a great misfortune on the part Of
those in authority, and on the part of the
statesmen of the day, and on the part of the
people themselves that they did not under
stand the onward march Of events that was
from time to time taking place in their
midst; that they did not see and know that
the telegraph only a means Of trans
hitting messages though new and different
from the older method of letter writing;
and while one was sent by means OF wire
lines. the other was carried in mail bags by
rail transportation or otherwise; yet they
were essentially one and the same thing,
messages of the people.
1t was so closely allied to all interests;
and so necessary to the various Industries,
and to the many enterprises, and OF such
great Importance to the profession, and to
the daily news and to the general welfare
and concern, that it passes all comprehen-
sion to understand why it was not in the
first instance acknowledged by the people
and the government to be a matter OF ma
tional concern and made, as it should have
been. charge under the direction and con-
troll of the post office department.
