Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in its, recent report on war
profits, Stated that the five large meat packers have he.n
proateering and that they have a monopolv of the mark-+
these conditions, if fair and just, are matters of serious con-
Germ 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 state
ment that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by
the facts. Ng
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 citizen who would farn1iarize himself with its details
must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were $l40,00o,000 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with SIS, 100000 as the average an
nual proht:for the three years before the war, making it an
pear that the war profit was $121,0ooooo greater than the
pre-war profit.
This compares a %three-year profit with a one-year proft-a
nnanifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not only
misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made a mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate ~threeyear profit Of $4,000 900 was earned
on sales OF over four and a half billion dollars. It 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 businessis conducted upon such
small margins of profit.

Furthermofe-and this is very im~portant-only a small por-
ton OF this profit has been paid in dividends. The balance

WATER SYSTEM
At FORT CROOK
AGAIN HELD Up
Connection with Omaha Sys'
tenn Slips After Hitchcock
Thought He Had Every.
thing Sewed Up.

Washington Bureau. Omaha Bee, 1911 G
street.
The complications growing out OF
providing a suitable water supply
for Fort Crook are, to say the
least, most embarrassing, especially
10 Senator Hitchcock, who supposed
he had everything sewed up when he
received Assistant Secretary Gro
wells letter stating that the depart
ment had decided to connect Fort
Crook with the Omaha water
system, but the construction division
OF the War department, presided
over by General Marshall, resur-
rected an old report favoring the
building of wells at Fort Crook and
estimating such cost at $4,000.
Congressman Lobeck today took
a hand in the water supply situation,
in view OF strong kilograms from the
Chamber of Commerce and other
business interests. and outlined to
General Marshall the futility OF at
tempting to get enough water to
supply Fort Crook through system
of wells. He told the general that
even if the wells were finally decided
upon. they could not be built and a
filtration plant provided. for any
thing like $4,000, and emphatically
protested against the we'll idea sug-
costing that Fort Crook would be
hitched up with the Omaha water
system before the matter was
finally decided.
Working for Peace Committee.
Senator Hitchcock, who is busy
these days laying his wires to be
one of the peace commissioners
from the United States, has not
moved in the matter, but has ar
ranged for a conference with As
sistant Secretary Crowell, and, if
need be, Secretary Baker on Satur-
day, when the water supply ques-
ton for Fort Crook NAY be de-
cided once for all.
To an onlooker il would appear
as if army policies had something
to do with the backing and filling
over Fort Crooks water supply, as
il is known some of the junior army
officers do not fancy living at Fort
Crook when Fort Omaha is so
much more accessible and really de-
iightful billet. The fact remains,
however, the army bill carried an
appropriation of $4,000 for Fort
Crooks water system, and Senator
Hitchcock is next to the chairman
on that committee. 1t would seem,
therefore, that a little pressure is
all that is needed to get the system
best adapted to Fort Crooks use.

known in this end of the county, and
in the south end as well, and is well
informed and conservative person.
We understand that Judge H. N.
Shaw will not be candidate for re-
nomination as side judge at the COM

heard Of two avowed candidates, J. H..
Eadeau Of East Dorset and NJ. b. Rob-
erts of Rupert. Mr. Roberts was APP
pointed some years since TO fill out
the time Of the late Judge Kent but
was not chosen for the full term later.
Mr.. Nadeau is one Of Dorset's sub
stantial business men and has been
prominent in the affairs of his home
town for many years, having been
selectman and school commissioner
and at the present time is one of the
eelectmen Of the town. A man Of dig
