The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report
profits stated that the five large meat packers have been
proteerng and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions 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 profits misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly is unsrp-
ported 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 indus
tries Any citizen who would famiiarze himself with It's
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were $140000,000 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with $19000000 as the average
annual profit for the three years before the making It

canoe of these facts If you unacquaned with bust
ness talk this matter with some business acquant-
ance-Wh 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 statement that the large packers have
monopoly. The Commissions report shows the
large number and Importance Of other packers.
The hackers 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 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
one third of the meat business of the country.
They wish 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 by-products and Of the wonderful story of
the methods of distribution throughout this broad land,
we'll 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 your government
in its time Of need they have met all time demands
promptly and completely and they willing to trust
their case TO the famnedness of the American people

THIS story comes from the Eagle Hut
in London, as famous on the other
side as its Bryant Park counterpart is
here
a woman, one of 10000 British work
ing for the Y. N. C. A, was assigned to
scrubbing the Eagle Hut floor. She ac-
cepted the job without protest and went
down on her knees with pail of hot
water cloth and 2 cake of soap. Soon
the water in the pail was black. A man
in uniform passed. The woman looked
up and asked if he would mind emptyinp
the pail and refilling it with clean water
There was theatrical pause. then

government has also cavalierly treated an
interpolation of certain members of Par
Lament with regard to recent loans, reply
ing that as the Audit Bureau is inspecting
them it is not Parliament's business. None
of the recent farreaching financial trans
actions has been submitted to Parliament,
nor will any now Under negotiation come
before the people before signature.
"The most hopeful feature of the present
situation and the most remarkable develop
ment of recent times is the fact that the
opposition to the mlitarists is managed
by Chou Tzuch, the former Minister Of
Finance; Chu Chi-chien, the former Min
ister Of the interior and member of
party headed by Liang Shh-yi, now presi-
dent Of the Senate and at one time the
most powerful man IN China All were
very stanch supporters of Yuan Shih-kai
through thick and thin, but the depths to
which Yuan's old military henchmen have
sunk, the travail into which they have
plunged the country and the criminal man
ner in which they are greediy pledglng
the nations assets for money to keep 1t
convulsed have converted them not only
into strong opponents of miltarism, but
into advocates of foreign financial control
as the only means Of suppressing the
Tuchuns (mlitary governors) and saving
the country
Against these men the mlitarists will
now be ranged. They compelled either
to wipe out their opponents or to submit
to the demands for peace The latter con-
tingcncy is unlikely, because it is per-
sonally profitable for them to continue the
unrest.

"The colonel was away at a confer

come in the lowly hut where he was
forced to put up. Maps of the sector
encircled the flag of the state where the
regiment had been organized Attached
to the fir-plank wall, it was the only
decoration to the narrow barrack as it
hugged the shadow of the little knoll
of ground in the rear.
"a tall man, somewhat slender, with
sturdy build, yet carrying himself with
true grace, the colonel had much to say
about the ardor and enthusiasm of his
men. In civil life he had been at the
head of big establishment and a large
number of those in his employ had en-
listed on purpose to go along with him.
With smiling simplicity the colonel con-
