Plain Facts About the Meat Business

These conclusions if fair just matters of serious

The res given on profits misleading and the statement
that the packers have monompoy unsupported by the facts
The packers mentioned the report stand ready to their

The meat business of the largest American INDUSTRIES
ANY citizen who would faarze himself with its details must
be prepared for large totals
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were s14OOOO0 900 for the three years.
This sum is compared with s19oooOo0 the average annual
profit for the three years before the making appear that
the war profit was s1 greater than the profit
This compares three-year profit with oneyear proa

leading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has
made mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate hreeear profit Of s140O00 was earned on
sales of over four and half billion dollars It about
three each dollar Of saesor mere fraction OF cent
per pound of product
Packers profits are negligible factor prices of live stock
