The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war
profits stated that the FIVE large packers have been
proheerng and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions fair and just OF serious
only those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country.
The figures given profits 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 business is of the largest American industries
Any citizen who would amilarize himself with its details

packers SI4oOooooo for the three war years
This sum is compared with So,oooooo the average

This compares profit with one-year proht-a

If you business you will appreciate the signh-

The packers mentioned stand ready to prove

ANEY RULES IN
FULL CREW CASE
Decides That Mahanoy Plane
Movement Is Not a Train
Movement Within Law

The Pennsylvania railroad is de-
clared to have operated a freight
train over its Sewickley and Boyer
Run branches in violation of the
full crew law" according to a de-
cision handed down to-day by Chair
man w. D. B. Ainey. of the Public
Service Commission. in the complaint
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and George B. Rowand
against the company, one of the Sec
ond series brought by the railroad
mems organization.
1t is found by the chairman that
1t run train of less than thirty
cars with crew smaller than re-
quired by law and he adds, NO ad-
ministrative discretion is lodged with
this commission in enforcing the
full crew law. Under the evidence
presented, we find and determine
that on September 20. 1917, the
respondent operated a freight train
over its road in violation of the law
In discussing the case the chairman
says splitting up train and crew
In the manner evidenced in this
case, separately operating the parts
over the road under the conditions
as disclosed, where neither air, hand
or oral signals were available to the
conductor who accompanied one
part or observable by the members
of the crew who accompanied the
other part, introduces the very ele-
ment of danger which the Legislature
foresaw and attempted to provide
against by requiring train crews to
consist nf rarfpin har nd rI
of employees. To separate a train
crew as in the instant case destroys
the cooperative support and inter
dependent vigilance which lead to
safety of operation. If it can be
lawfully permitted here. why may
not the separate sections of passen-
ger trains be similarly manned with
one conductor in charge of both and
each accompanied by a partial crew.
1t is impossible to escape the con-
clusion that the movement was a
road haul and that it was not
switching movement within the con-
temptation of the law.
The commission in another de-
cision by Chairman Ainey dismisses
the complaints of the same parties
against the Philadelphia and Read
ing, which alleged that a movement
on Mahanoy Plane was in violation
of the law. The chairman says
Under all the evidence we are of
the opinion that these were yard
movements and not made as road
hauls So far as the factor
of safety is concerned there is little
ground for distinction between yard
operations, such as are now under
consideration. and trains engaged in
making road hauls. The Legislature.
however. has esta blished a standard
which has received court and COM
mission consideration"

taught us to obey orders, to respect

same time to love him as our fight
ers in France love him now. His
orders were strict, his discipline un-
yielding. but no one ever felt that
punishment or discipline was given
for personal reasons, but because our
commandant knew the rules of the

cording to rule, and that if neoes-
sary he had the initiative which de-
velopes rules to meet tho occasion
for which no rules have been made.
Necessarily he entered more or
less into the social and athletic life
of the school and I recall distinctly
one occasion when he was invited to
attend boxing exhibition given by
the members of the class, who had
received long course of instructions.
The class had developed Cadet Pol
lard to the point where he seemed a
full-made pugilist. and on this oc-
casion we invited Pershing to enter
the ring against our champion.
Within few seconds after tho bout
began we revamped our ideas OF
Pollard and decided that he was Il
tumble bug" rather than a pugu-
list, for he seemed incompetent to
maintain his equilibrium or to reach
his opponent, and as a result he
gave up his pugilistic dreams and
is to-day respectable electrical en-
gineer.
Our discipline was always OF the
West Point type, but, II possible,
more rigid on tho occasion of dress
parade, and I recall standing In line
of Company D one afternoon In the
fall of the year when the weather
was too cold for the flies out Of
doors, but when tho few remaining
flies in the armory seemed unusu-
ally hungry. With our dark blue
uniforms, our white gloves were in
strict contrast, and this probably ac-
counted for my having been detected
in the effort TO dislodge a fly which
was boring into the corner of my
eye, and as punishment for my ef-
fort, I received three demerit marks,
thereby disqualifying mo for ap-
pointment as a noncommissionedo Of
ficer.
No Time to Laugh
Upon one occasion we were given
quick time back and forth across
the parade ground, when one farmer
boys feet became entangled while at
the head of a column and he fell
down and as a result a number of
those following him fell also. Each
cadet who laughed or broke the
cadence was reported and his stand
ing reduced.
The opportunity was given me to
meet Pershing after his return from
the Philippines and my knowledge
of him was more or less intimate
and l fully agree with the allied
commanders in saying that Pershing
was marked of the gods for big
things and think IL is fitting that
the cause of humanity and that the
cause of the United States should
be championed by one who is so able
and who possesses so many human
virtues.
