OF more than S100,000,00O. The magn

"ln the statement of the Fedefal
ooc COMMISSION as 10 tne pf0ntS Of
Morris & CO., the figures given are mis-
Leading and are absolutely incorrect
The profit of 1851 per cent for the
three-year war period is evidently fe-
ured on nominal capital of sS,o0O,o 900
and not on the capital invested, while
the pre-war profit of &c per cent was
figured on the total investment. During
1917 our investment was in excess Of
S38,OO0,O00 and our profit was IAN per

for the last three years was 1925 per

Meat Packers Accused :.


The meat packers are accused Of
quadrupling their profits on an increase
OF 150 per cent in volume. This ap-
plies to the four firms Of Armour,
Swift, Cudahy and Morris, Wilson being
omitted Their total profits for the
three war years, 1915-1917, are given
as s140,000,O00, Of which $121, ,O0O,0 900
represents excess over pre-war profits.
Based on net worth, however, 1917
pared with 7.3 for the average Of three
years before the outbreak of the war in
Europe.
In the leather business it Is found
that large proportion of the tanners
made unusual profits in 1917. In 1916
profits were as much as six times as
large as in 1914. Prices were advanced
rapidly during 1917, though great sup
plies of hides were withheld from the
public Shoe wholesalers and retailers
obtained larger margins Of profit in
1917 than in 1916, the retailer more
than the wholesaler
ain this connection some interesting
intra- company correspondence Of Ar
mour & Co. and Swift & Co. concern
ing their leather business is published
to show the immense size Of the profits
end the attitude of the latter company
in regard to the suggested government
regulation Of profits.
Notwithstanding price regulation in
the latter part of 1917, the price Of
-four was exorbitant in 1917. the profit
to the miller being 45 cents barrel,
as against the government margin Of
25 cents. The former was three times
the normal. Flour jobbers realized
nearly SO cents barrel in the first
half Of 1917, as against is cents a
barrel prior to 1915.

Prosperity Running High
Before submitting its findings in de-
tail regarding certain industries, the
commission says:
I'm submitting the subjoined MEM
oranda on the industries under con-
the opinion that general trade, as the
commission has opportunity to view it.,
is in high state of prosperity. With
some exceptions that condition has con-
tinued for several years. Many Of the
industries are making unusual profits,
some are showing outrageous ones. In
an hour Of national service and self
sacrifice, profiteering may be defined
not only as the taking of an exorbitant
profit, but should include refusal to
share in bearing the burdens of war in
the form Of reduction in profits when
the profits have been large in pre-war
times"
Concerning the steel industry, the
report says:
"ln 1917 the steel companies made
abnormal profits in the period prior to
the government e-ffxing policy, and
8 number have continued to make un-
usually heavy profits since that pol
icy was inaugurated. In finding costs
IN this industry for the War Industries
Board the commission divided the steel
makers into four groups: (D The
fully integrated mills; (2) the mills
that start with the manufacture of
pig iron; [3) the mills that start with
steel furnaces, and (4) the mills that
make rolled products from purchased
semi-dnished steel. The United States
Steel Corporation is included in class
one. Its profits, expressed in terms of
the total amount invested in the busi-
ness, shows net earnings as follows:
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30


ished steel and convert it into the more
highly developed steel products, have
enjoyed substantial profits.
Large Copper Earnings
The findings rs to the other indus
tries reviewed are in part as follows:
VERY large earnings are found to
try, partly due to the unusually heavy
demand almost exclusively for war put-
poses. The average profit in 1917 on
Investment was 24.4, the highest being
107 per cent. Seventy per cent of the
companies made better than 20 per
cent, as against an average profit or
1T in 1918. These are net profits
after paying excess profit taxes. There
was no concerted action in this indus
among the Allies being the original
cause. Strong interests, however have
taken steps to maintain prices at high
levels"
The American Smelling and Refining
Company is charged with continuing to
hold in force certain deductions for the
risk of carrying copper bought from the
mines, though the risks have ceased
since prices were fixed. Their present
maintenance is held to be profiteering.
On the other hand, some of the large
companies are operating at loss on
account of long term contracts, which
vantageous to them.
AS to zinc, most of the evidence be-
fore the commission indicates no un-
usual profits, though they are very
large, being for the New Jersey Zinc
per cent in 1917. This company is
forced by circumstances to take large
profits. 1t has the monopoly of GER
tain high grade ores, but it connot
sell for less than the price Of its lean
ore competitors.
In nickel the International Nickel
Company being the dominating factor,
the commission finds that prices have
been maintained on pre-war level. The
increased demand and output are re-
sponsble for the company's increased
earnings, which are given as 80 per
cent in 1917.
Sulphur Prices Raised
The two companies that produce all
the sulphur in the United States are
the Freeport and the Union. They are
making $1S to $25 ton profit. The
Freeport company made a profit for
eleven months of 236 per cent on the
investment. These companies "have
taken advantage OF the exlStlng Sltua-
ton to raise their prices"
The commission finds no unusual or
excessive profits in the lumber in
dustry, whether on the Pacific Coast or
in the South, though the margin Of
profit for 1000 board feet was $4.83 in
1917, as against a fair ordinary profit
of So.
The bituminous coal operators, gen.
orally speaking, had much larger mar
gins in previous years. Twentythree
typical companies of the central Penn
sylvania field made 20 cents a ton in
1915 and 80 cents in 1917. The high
est margin was $1.85. Most of the coal
was sold under contract before the gov
ernment fixed the price and averaged
much better than that price.
Anthracite coal prices at the mine
increased g. cents ton between 1914
and 1918, but as against this are in
creased costs of production.
The average profit on the investment
in the oil industry is 21 per cent, which
is a considerable increase over pre-
war profits. Estimated profits for this
year range from AZ to 7O4 per cent, as
