Why?

is true that the packers have many
interests in common but that is true
in every line of industry, and it
does not follow that their mutual
interests make the competition be-
tween them any less keen. The
commission Goes not follow up its
charges of monopoly with facts and
there are none that warrant the
charge.
The truth about the packing in
dustry is that it prospers on the
smallest margin of profit of any
business of national consequence
and that because of it's efficiency
and organization, it has served well
both the producer and the consum-
er in peace times and now that the
nation is at war. it has been able
to meet the unusual demands made
upon it better than has any other
pre-war industry.
These facts will be demonstrated
by any impartial investigation and
they are submitted to offset the
prejudice which might arise from
the unjust charges and misstate-
ments of the federal trade commits

than is enjoyed by any other large
business in the world.
The profit on the actual invested
capital is not out OF accord with
capital invested in other lines of
business and is smaller than is
usual on businesses which deal in
highly perishable products subject
to seasonal fiuctuation.
1t is a perversion of facts when
the commission tells the public that
one OF the packers made as high as
263 per cent profit. The investment
of the packers is not necessarily the
amount at which they are capital
ICED and none OF the five largest
packers is capitalized for the
amount actually invested. Instead
of watering their stock, they have
permitted it to remain at nominal
figures, which fact has been taken
advantage of by the commission.
The public is entitled to know
all the facts regarding packers
profits and methods Of doing bust
ness, but in the present instance
their chief and only concern rests
in the amount of profit which the
packers realize from the sale Of
each pound of their product. The
profit in the aggregate spells moth
ing to the individual; he is affected
Only by the amount of that profit
which comes out of his pocket.
It is a fact which the commission
cannot deny and which government
accountants can verify, that pack

Argus: The charge of protiteering
made against the American pack
ers by the federal trade commits
sion, is not true The fact that
the commission alleges monopoly
does not bear out the charge
The Importance that she attach
to the commissions charges is best
indicated by the tendency of its
members to gain political prefer
ment by attacks on big business.
1t is not surprising that the com
missions charges have been made
with more regard for their effect
upon the public than for the facts
in the case.
The commission says that be
cause the packers profits are large
they are unquestiOnably protiteer-
ing.
Profits are large or small only
when considered in relation to the
size Of the business on which they
are earned In the case OF the five
leading packers. the profits for the
past three years amounted to Sl40,-

five billion dollars That means

BETTER POSITIONS
OFFERED TO WOMEN

Women in industry are today OF
fe-ed better chances to work ad-
vantageously than ever before, ac-
cording to Mrs. Raymond Robins.
president of the National Woman's
Trade Union league
Conditions surrounding women
in industry open greater opportuni'
ties than at any previous time,
said Mrs. Robins Women today
have an opportunity for collective
activity in the matter of standard
iZing industry and wages that they
have never had before. All sorts
of openings are awaiting them.
"One OF the things that bother
women in industry is the absolute
lack of any Standardization Of
wages. We are told that wages
are dependent on skill, as they
ought to be, but they are not. By
way of illustration l would cite the
cases of two young women. ma
chine operators out on strike.
They went to a garment factory
and were offered 81 a week for
running machines. but at another
place they secured positions at SIS
a month for the same work"
Mrs Robins called attention to
the rules which have been mad a
for the protection of women work
ing in railroad and lumber yards.
The limit that women are per-

ers' profits represent approximately
quarter of a cent per pound of
product. In other words. when the
consumer buys a pound of meat
from his retail dealer. a quarter
part of one cent out of the amount
which he pays is profit for the
packer.
Yet by a Camouflage OF figures,
the commission would have the
public believe that the packers are
proving upon the public. No sane
man will contend that a quarter Of
a cent a pound is an unreasonable
profit on a perishable product which
has to be both manufactured and
distributed by the firm which gets
the quarter cent return.
Further. it is a fact seemingly ig-
nored by the federal trade commits
sion, that since last November,
packers have been limited as to
profits They are not permitted to
earn in excess of two and half
cents on each dollars worth of
business transacted and the total
profit on the actual investment in
meat food lines must not exceed
nine per cent per annum.
Government representative have
full access to the packers books
and are in position to know that the
profits have not been greater than
prescribed by the regulations.
The charge of monopoly is as far
from substantiation by the facts
as is the charge of prOfiteering. 1t

Mr.. Baker had elected to remain a
bachelor.
AS an employee of the Government he
earns 800 week Just a bit less than
that, in fact, inasmuch as his salary as
Director of the Mint is $4,000 year.
Even on this pay he might live, all alone
by himself, very decentIy. With the addi-
ton Of his private income he is a well-off
man.
One might infer that much from the way
he lives. He occupies a very handsome
apartment, furnished by himself quite
beautifully, at the BeRedick, a flathouse
for bachelors on / street in Washington
about four blocks from the White House.
At his service at all hours he keeps two
expensive automobiles twin-six touring

Mr.. Baker is no stranger to luxury. But
such luxury as he now enjoys he has
earned for himself He has dug II out of
the ground. Or, more accurately speaking,
he has procured it by showing other folks
where to dig.
Mr.. Baker, as already explained, Is a
specialist in finding things. He has capped
the climax Of his career by finding for him

tiful and altogether the richest unmarried
woman in the world.

HIS chosen occupation? Work. He says
so himself His favorite amusement?
Work, again There are few idle hours
for Ray Baker But such hours as he has
at his disposal are spent out of doors.
He is an outdoor man; one has only to
look at him to see that. Every kind of
sport appeals to him, from golf to base
ball, and when opportunity serves he rides
horseback.
In these tastes Mrs. Vanderbilt sym
pathizes with him. But. since the loss

Of her time to war work, and has been

The honeymoon is to be spent in Ne

the kind of man he Is.

She was married to Mr.. Vanderbilt in
England in 1911. two years and half az
ter he had been divorced by his first wife,
Ellen French Vanderbilt.
Shortly after her second marriage DR..
McKim threatened a suit for the aliena-
ton of Ler affections against Mr.. Van
derbilt and Captain Emerson, but aban-
doned his plan after a settlement had
been reached by which he received $4,000
and an annuity of $500 a year.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was the second son Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt atd was 50 years
old when he lost his life in the sinking
of the Lusitania. He was made his
fathers chief heir, following an estrange-
ment between his father and his elder
brother, Colonel Cornelius Vanderbilt. and
at the fathers death inherited a fortune
estimated at $5OOOO.OOO.
When, after his own death. his will was
offered for probate. his estate was ap-
praised at $17.S6O.522 This allowed for
various deductions, including one Of 81
100000 Shich Mrs. Vanderbilt received
by an ante-nuptial settlement. She re
ceived also an additional 100000. her
husbands estate in the AdirOndacks. realty
valued at 100000, and the income from a
trust fund Of $5.OOO,OOO. with power to
dispose Of the principle by will From
her father Captain Emerson, she will re-
ceNe another enormous fortune.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has two sons as the
result Of her second marriage. One was
8 years old at the time Of his fathers
death and the other was born in Septem-
Der Of the preceding year. Since Mr..
Vanderbilt's death she has given up all
social life and has devoted herself to war
work, principally in connection with the
Red Cross and army cantonment service.
