The Federal Trade Commission in its report
profits stated that the five large packers have
been profteering and that they have monopoly of the
market
These conclusions, fair and just, of serious
concern only to those engaged in the packing
business but to every other citizen of our country.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly unsup-
ported by the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready
prove their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is of the largest American in
dustries Any citizen who would famiarize himself
with its details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers Sl4O,OOO,OOO for the three war years
This sum is compared with S9OOOOOO as the average
annual profit for the three years before the making
it appear that the profit $l2l 900 600 greater
than the pre-war profit
This compares three-year profit with one-year profit
manfestly unfair method of comparison. 1t is
only mis- eadlng but the Federal rade Commission APP
parenty has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate three-year profit of $40 600 900 was
earned sales of four and half billion dollars 1t
about three cents 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 very mportant---only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the businesses 1t had
be, as you realize when you consider the problems
the packers have had to solve-and solve qucklydur
ing these years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher
former prices for live stock has required the use of
three times the ordinary of working

REDUCTION IN PRICE
OF COTTON PRODUCTS

Washington.-Price for cotton
products showing reductions OF from
90 to 30 per cent as compared with
market prices were approved by
President Wilson. The prices were
agreed upon at conferences between
the price-fxing committee of the war
industries board and a committee rep
resenting cotton goods manufacturers
The new prices affect chiefly cotton
piece goods OF which the government
is heavy purchaser. They apply,
however. 10 civilian as well as gov
ernment purchases. The price-fixing
committees action with regard to fin
ished cotton is believed to be the
forerunner Of price-fxing on virtually
all other commodities OF which the
government Is large purchaser.

PRESIDENT OF ORDER.
CHEERFUlLY GRANT REQUEST
Decision Raises Load Of Care From
Mind Of Officials and the
Country.

Washington. - Indefinite postpone
ment OF the strike Of telegraphers en-
ployed by the Western Union Tele.
graph Company was announced by
Secretary OF Labor Wilson.
Secretary Wilson said that Mr..
Konenkamp, who is in Chicago, had
given him every assurance that the
strike order would not be put into
effect and that any walkout would be
postponed indefinitely. 1t was under.
stood that the union president agreed
to this course because Congress now
is considering a new resolution au.
thorizing the President to take over
and operate during the war all tele-
graph, telephone, cable and radio sys.
TENS.
In final effort to avert the strike.
Mr.. Wilson sent Mr.. Konenkamp a tel
egram urging delay and later called In
Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation OF Labor.
Mr. Wilson's telegram to Mr.. Konen.
kamp said:
II earnestly request. in view OF the
general situation and the imperative
necessity OF avoiding interference with
the prompt transmission OF communi-
cations which may be OF vital import
ance in the prosecution OF the war,
that steps to prevent any strike be
taken until I can have a conference
with you and others The Congress
is now dealing with the subject and
undoubtedly exact justice will be done
all the parties at interest. This re-
quest is made in the interest OF our
country. feel sure 1t will be needed
by you"
Mr.. Gompers' telegram follows:
Secretary Wilson, OF the depart
ment OF labor, invited me to confer
with him in regard to the threatened
telegraphic situation and he showed
me the telegram he sent you. A
strike OF the telegraphers at this time
and while there ia fair chance Of
an early. fair and honorable adjust
ment. would be most unfortunate, and
generally held to be unjustifable and
perhaps defeat it's very objects. To
avoid any hindrance to our govern
ment's war program even in the
slightest is my warrant to urge You
to at once exercise your every power
to postpone the strike for a time"
S. J. Konenkamp sent the follow.
Ing reply to Secretary Of Labor Will
son:
Your telegram has been received
and would say that the commercial
telegraphers have been most anxious
at all times to do everything within
their power to avert a strike and your
request under the circumstances you
have mentioned will be cheerfully
complied with"
