The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report
war profits stated that the five large meat packers have
been profteering and that they have monopoly Of the
market.
These conclusions if fair and just matters of serious
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 state
ment that the packers have monopoly is 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
1res Any citizen who would familarze himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits Of four large
packers were $14O0OO,0OO for the three war years
This sum is compared with S19OOOOOO as the average
annual profits 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 a one-year profit
manfesty unfair method of comparison 1t is not only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit of $14OOOO00O was
earned on sales of over four and half billion dollars 1t
means about three cents each dollar of saesor
fraction of cent per pound of product.
Packers profits 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 small

balance has been put back into the businesses 1t had to
be- as you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solveand solve quickly-during
these war years
To conduct this business in times with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two three times the form
er prices for live Stock has required the use of two or
three times the ordinary amount of working capital The
additional profit makes only fair eturn this and as

has been stated the larger portion of the profits earned
as beer used to finance huge stocks of goods and to
the enormous demands Of our army and navy and the
Allies.

canoe of these facts. you unacquanted with bust

profits of the packing industry with those of any other

Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1918-07-09

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 are in keen
competition with each oher and that they have no 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
onethird of the meat business of the country.
They wish it were possible to 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 to
utilization of byproducs and of the wonderful story of
the methods of distribution throughout this broad land
as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
They have been able to do big job for your government
in its time of need; they have met al time demands
promptly and completely and they are willing to trust
their case to the fandedness Of the American people
with the facts before them.

COMMEND. FRENCH.

French Front, Dec. 14.-(Corres- ,pondence) e)-General Ludendorff re- garded by the Entente Allies as the master-mind of the German army, pays an unintential compliment to the accuracy of French artillerymen in memorandum issued to the troops on October 4th, which has just been made available to the correspondent of the Associated Press.
 In this document he admits that the French gunners by their counter battery fire destroyed in one German army alone in the course of month eighty-three German field guns and seventy-two heavy cannon, while they seriously damaged and put out of ac ton also 282 field-guns and 213 heavy cannon, as well as ninety-one field guns and fifty-nine heavy cannon slightly injured but capable of being repaired and used again in short time.
 To these imposing figures of artil- lery losses caused by the French gum ners the same German army in the same period of time had the mortifi- cation of adding an almost equally large number of losses brought about by the wearing out or bursting of guns. In this way seventy three field-guns and twenty-one heavy can- non were destroyed; 164 field-guns and 129 heavy guns seriously dam- aged and TIT field-guns and ninety one heavy guns slightly disabled.
 The memorandum was issued to the German army by General Ludendorff because his artillery officers had ar gued repeatedly in favor of making counter battery work secondary to attacks on infantry and communica- tions. They asserted the French ar tillery directed their guns more gen. erally against the German infantry than against the artillery batteries. The figures collated by the Ger man general demonstrate the falsity of this argument and show the French determination to prevent the German guns, as far as possible, from being used against the French infantry and lines of communication and supply, and that they do this successfully.
 General Ludendorff in concluding his memorandum points out that by counter-battery work not only is the enemy's artillery destroyed or put out of action, but the opponent is forced to considerable extent to turn his attention away from the doings of the enemy's infantry which is thus able to manoeuvre with greater ease.

 FOR BIRDS IN THE FIELD

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-At the office of the Game and Fish Commission it is said that the game wardens over the state are now being kept almost constantly in the woods to enforce the game laws.

He sug- gested that the farmers who know where quail feed in their fields and woods nearby scatter small grain for the birds to feed on.

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-03-21

Recently while in Bamberg during
the Christmas season, went to the
church when the weather was un-
usually cold; no service had been
planned and when I later saw Daddy
John l asked him how it was that
there was no fire in the furnace and
no bells rung. He proudly explained
that he was there ready but had
orders not to as the furnace was out
of commission.
This was characteristic of the old
man. He was not always as careful
in his work as we might have de-
sired; he was not as we'll trained as
we could have wished. But come
rain or shine, cold or hot, I never
knew Daddy John to fail to do not
