Are the Packers PrOfiteerS?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report
on war profits, stated that five large meat packers
have been profiteering and that they have a monop-
oily of the market.
These conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of Sc
riOuS concern not only to those engaged IN the meat
packing business but to every other citizen of our
country.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have a monopoly is I'M
supported by 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 in
dustries. Any citizen who would famiiarize himself
with its details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four
large packers were Sl40y000,OOO for three war years.
This sum is compared with S19,000,000 as the aver
age annual profit for the three years before the war,
making it appear that the war profit was Sill, 100000
greater than the pre-War protlt.
This compares a threeyear profit with a oneyear
%proft-a m~anifestly unfair method of comparison. 1t
is not only misleading, but the Federal Trade Com
mission apparently has made a mistake in the figures
themselves.
The aggregate t~hreeyear profit of $14O,0O0,O00 was
earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars.
1t means about three cents on each dollar of saes-or
a mere fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Packers profits are a negligible factor in prices OF live
stock and meats. No other large business is conduct
ed upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore--and this is very important-only va small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends: The
balance has been put back into the businesses. lthad
to be, as you realize when you consider the problems
the packers have had to s~olve-and solve quickly-dur-
ing these war years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher
costs and the necessity of paying two or three times
the former prices for live stock, has required the use
of two or three times the ordinary amount of work
ing capital. The additional profit makes only a fair

return on this, and as has been stated, the larger poi
ton of the profits earned has been! USED TO rnance
huge stocks of goods and to provide additions and
improvements made necessary by the enormous de-
mandS of our army and navy and the Allies.
If YOU are a business man you will appreciate the sig
~nifCance of these facts. If you are unacqualnted with
business, talk this matter over with some business
aCquaintanCe-With your banker, Say--and 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 Commits
sion in support of the statement that the large pack
ers have a monopoly. The Commissions own report
shows the large number and the Importance OF other
packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready
to prove to any fair minded person that they are in
keen competition with each other, and that they have
no power to manipulate prices.
If this were 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 onethird of the meat business of the
country.
They wish it were possible to interest you in the de-
tails of their business. Of how, for instance, they can
sell dressed beef for less than the cost of the live an
imal, owing to utilization of by-prOduCtS, and of the
wonderful story of the methods of distribution
throughoutthis broad lane, as well as in other countries
The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operat-
ing with each other to the extent of together present
ing this public statement.
They have been able to do a big job for your govern
ment in its time of need; they have met all war time
demands promptly and completely and they are will
ing to trust their case to the fairmindedneSS of the
American people with the facts before them.
