ARMOUR SCORES
U. S. CONTROL OF
MEAT INDUSTRY
Leading Packer Fears Pend,
ing Legislation win "ThrOw
Monkey Wrench Into
Business Gears"

Washington, Jan. 2l.-J. Ogden
Armour told the house interstate
commerce committee today that the
pending legislation to regulate the
meat packing industry was "reac-
tionary" and part of it probably un-
constitutional and warned congress
that If a monkey wrench is thrown
into the gears of this business" its
effects would be felt In many other
lines of industry.
IF the ability of the packing in
dustry to function properly is inn
paired" said Mr.. Armour, 1T will
affect the livestock industry and it IN
turn will affect corn prices. Wheat
will then be drawn in and so will
bread and so will labor and so will
everything that has for its basis the
wealth produced by agriculture.
Would Disrupt Business,
THE theory on which pending
legislation is based would disrupt
the great manufacturing and mar
keting machines which half cen-
fury Of enterprise has evolved and
the results would be detrimental not
alone to the leading industry of this
nation, but even more so to that por-
ton OF the public which produces,
and to the entire public which con-
sumes food"
Profits Negligible.
Profits made by Armour & Co.,
Mr.. Armour declared, were negligi-
bic insofar as either the producer
or the eonsumet was concerned.
ION our total volume of business,
he said, they represent a return Of
less than 2 cents on every dollar OF
sales. The margin of profit in the
packing industry is the smallest en-
joyed by any industry of national
consequence"
The 400 per cent stock dividend in
1916. whereby the capital stock was
raised from $20000,000 to 100000
600. was said by Mr.. Armour to
have been made possible by reinvest-
ment during preceding years Of n
per cent of the aggregate earnings,
so tnal tie increase ftpfcschteu not
war, but money actually spent in
development.
Why Bacon Is High.
Charges by the commission of
collision among the five big pack
ing firms were denied categorically
hy the witness for his firm as fol-
lows;
Discussing the increased prices OF
meats, Mr.. Armour said the reason
why bacon now costs 20 cents a
pound against Is to 80 cents four
years ago could be readily UNDER
stood. Prices of live hogs had in
creased 24S per cent in that time, he
declared, while costs Of labor and
fuel had doubled. The market prices
1T by-products had not increased in
the same ratio as live hogs, he as
serted, and this necessity put a
greater price burden on the edible
PARTS of the animal.

deny the rumors that they said were
being circulated by union men, that
their organization was being used to
break strikes. The committee read
their constitution to the delegates and
also branded reports of them being
used as strike breakers as lie. Nat
urally after the committee had finish
ed several of the delegates cited diff
ferent cities where strikes had occur
ed and where discharged Service men
were used as police to break strikes.
Winnepeg, Toledo and other places
were cited where Service men were
used for this purpose. The commit
tee held that they should not be held
responsible for the acts of individ-
uals as their organization did not
stand for that purpose.
Speaking to some of the committee
the writer was told that the reports
of the Service men being organized
for the purpose Of breaking strikes
was being circulated by union men
who were connected with the central
body, and that the council had the
matter before several of its meetings.
In reply to this we can earnestly say
that NEVER has anything been
brought before the central body con-
cerning the new organization known
SIS the Association of Service Men of
Hamilton, Ohio. If any union man or
union men are circulating reports
about the new organization the central
body knows nothing of it and like the
new organization known as the Asso-
citation of Service Men the central
body or any labor union should not
be held responsible for what any in
dividual says or does.
