BALL
PLAYERS HOLD
fine BANQUET

Last night one Of the finest gather
ings of the season was held at the
local Y. M. C. A. Physical Director
Harold Jenkins had arranged fine
program for the reception of the win
ming team which came out victorious
after defeating the noon hour Bust
ness Mems class and the P. M. class
at volley ball.
The four different groups were rep
resented and seated at separate tables.
At the winning teams table was the
cup hidden under a large flower
which each member held with ribbon
which was attached to one of the
petals. At a given notice the team
pulled the flower apart and the cup
made it's appearance. The tail end
team also received a prize. Strings
were pulled out of a box placed in the
center of the table and at a given sig
nal they all pulled a lollypop.
Speeches were made by the differ
ent teams. DR.. Walter Brown of the
Health Dept. and member of Thine
noon hour Business Mems class told
with his usual good humor how the
volley ball bug made his appearance
this season at the "Y" and will stay
there for many months to come. II
must be said that the noon hour Bus
mess Mems class has in a few months
time produced fine team.
Lawrence Green was the following
speaker. He is a member of the
p. M. class. He told in an eloquent
address how the members should keep
up their interest especially now in wal
times in order to represent the one
hundred per cent Americanism. He
has fine qualities as a public speaker
and made a good impression.

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in its report
profits stated that the five large packers have been
prohteerng and that they have monopoly Of the market
These conclusions if fair and just matters Of serious
concern only those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country.
The figures given profits misleading and the state
ent that the packers have monopoly unsupported by
the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American indus
tries Any citizen who would famarze himself with it's
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were $14OOO0O0O for the three war years
This sum is compared with S190OOOOO as the average
annual profit for the three years before the war; making
appear that the profit $12 100000 greater than
the pre-war profit.
This compares threeyear profit with oneyear proht-a
manestly unfair method of comparison. 1t is only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made mistake in the figures themselves,
The aggregate threeyear profit of was earned
sales of over four and half billion dollars 1t
about three each dollar Of saes-or fraction
of cent per pound of product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices of live stock
and No other large business conducted upon such
small margins of profit.
Furthermore-and this is very inportant-ony small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The bal
ance has been put back into the businesses 1t had be- as
you realize when you consider the problems the packers
have to solveand solve quckyduring these years
To conduct this business in war times with higher costs
and the necessity of paying three times the former
prices for live stock has required the Of two three
times the ordinary of working capital The add
tonal profit makes only fair return this, and has
been stated the larger portion of the profits earned has
been used finance huge stocks of goods and 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 sgnih-
Of these facts If you unacquanted with bust
ness talk this matter with business acquant
ance-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 Commission
in support of the 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 any fair minded person that they in keen
petition with each other and that they have power
manipulate prices.
this they would not dare to make this posi-
tive statement.
Furthermore government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
third Of the meat business of the country.
They wish possible interest you the details of
their business Of how for instance they sell dressed
beef for less than the cost of the live animal owing u
cation of byproducts and of the wonderful story of the
methods of distribution throughout this broad land as we'll
as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other the of together presenting this
public statement
They have been able do big job for your government
in its time of need they have all time demands
promptly and completely and they willing their

facts before them
