The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits
stated that the five large meat packers have been profteerng and
that they have a monopoly of the market.
These conclusions, if fair and just, are 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 statement
that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported 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 industries. Any
prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers
were $40, O0O 900 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with $4,000 900 as the average annual
profit for the three years before the war, making it appear that
the war profit was $121, 100000 greater than the pre-war profit.
This compares a three-year profit with a one-year proft-a man.
ifestly unfair method of comparison. 1t is not only misleading,
but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mis-
take in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit of S14O.O 100000 was earned on
sales of over four and half billion dollars. 1t means about three
cents on each dollar of sales-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 conducted upon such small
margins of profit.
Furthermore-and this is very important-onIy a small portion
of this profit has been paid in dividends. The balance has been
put back into the business. 1t had to be, as you realize when you
consider the problems the packers have had to solve-and solve
quickly-during 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 working capital. The additional profit makes only a
fair return on this, and as has been stated, the larger portion of
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-07-13
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

the profits earned has been used to finance huge stocks of goods
the enormous demands of our army and navy and the Allies.
If you are a business man you will appreciate the significance of
these facts. If you are unacquainted with business, talk this mat
ter over with some business acquaintance-with your banker, say
and ask him to compare profits of the packing industry with
those of any large industry at the present time.
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in sup
port of the statement that the large packers have a monopoly.
The Commissions own report shows the large number and impor-
lance 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 one-third of the
meat business of the country.
They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their
business. Of how, for instance, they an 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 distribu-
ton 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 a big job for your government in its
time of need; they have met all war time demands promptly and
completely and they are willing to trust their case to the fair
mindedness of the American people with the facts before them.
