BIG PACKERS LOUD IN PROTEST.
Reiterate Old Statements Of "Profts
Fraction of Cent Pound"

Chicago, Aug. l0-Protests against the
recommendations of the federal trade
commission, that the government assume
partial control of the packing industry,
are made by some of the heads of the
concerns in the Union stockyaards
Edward Morris, president of Morris &
Co, said the commission evidently de-
sired to place the entire stockyards and
packing industry in the hands of the
railroad administration. He added that
with profits limited to not over nine per
cent on the capital invested, Eve cannot
see where conditions would be i'm

Louis F. Swift, president of Swift &
Co.. while expressing willingness to CO.
operate with the government, said. I'VE
do not believe that the taking over of
branch houses and storage houses would
be practical. We hope that the general
public will read the report Of the federal
trade commission. 1t contains many sen
sational charges, but careful reading will
reveal few facts to justify them" !"

brief examination "has given no oppor-
tunity Of preparation for formal an
swer, which can be done only after the
full report is before us" issued state
ment covering "a few points which
should be answered in the interest Of in.
formation to the general public" He
said
eIt is recommended that immediate
steps be taken to give the government
a monopoly over such portion of their
business as will restore competition. This
completely ignores the fact that since
Nov. |, 1917, the packing business has
been under the control of the govern.
ment through the agency Of the United
States food administration. Ever since
that time the severest competition has
existed, the same as in the past, except
in so far as the government has deemed
it necessary that the packers cooperate
to provide the enormous quantity of sup
plies necessary for the maintenance Of
our armed forces and those of our allies.

ance rendered by the large number of

experienced in this locality, the farm

stroyed, with all their contents, practi-
cally nothing being saved from either
