TRAINERS WANT

Under Three-Heat Plan
HOLD SESSIONS ! HERE

one of tn" most important topic
which is expected to come in for wide
discussion in the two-day meeting of the
Grand Circuit moguls, which opened this
morning in this city, Is the three-hca'
plan of staging the races
The three-hcat plan dominated at the
majority of the tracks last season but
there s;il are few who decline to
break away from their old-fashionod
custom and follow suit. When the Lex
ington track officials approved of the
three-heat plan it was like putting the
national .. k stamp on it. for the Ken
tuckians long were wont to change
Gn'ess the officials get together and
decide to adopt a uniform system the
trainers will have to labor under the
same difficulties which confronted them
last srasou-that Of getting a horse
prmed for a two-In-t thrcc-hoat plan one
week, Il ree-iu-iivc-h"at race the next
and perhaps one Of the three best plans

his main protest.
"When will you raise the block

PACKERS PROFITS
WERE TREbLED'
big Five" Made $685.
600 in Year.
HUGE SALARIES WERE PAID

Witness Tells Senators Huge Profits
Were Made Despite United States
Oversight.
Washington, Jan. 1S-Food admin
istration regulations neither regulated
profits Of the meat packers nor bene-
flied, the public or the consumers,
Stuart Chase, an expert accountant
employed by the federal trade COM
mission, told the senate agriculture
committee, in presenting figures to
show that profits Of the five big pack
ing concerns had doubled and trebled
during the war.
Mr.. Chase, who was testifying at
hearings on the Kendrick bill pro-
vding for government supervision OF
the meat industry, said no one knows
accurately what the packers earnings
are because Of their methods Of book
keeping have the effect Of covering
up their profits. He declared, how
ever, that examinations by the COM
mission of the books Of Armour 4
Co, Morris & Co., Swift & Co., Will
son & Co. and the Cudahy company
showed their aggregate profits in 1912
were $1S,715,OOO, and in 1917, $96,639,-
OOO
Based on capital stock, Mr.. Chase
said Morris & Co.'S profits in 1917
were 27.7 per cent and that on the
same basis Armour & Cos profits in
1916 were 114.2 per cent. Because OF
a later increase in capital stock, the
percentage for Armour & Co, dropped
to 27.1 in 1917. Swift & Co.'S profits
in 1917 on the same basis were 81
per cent while those of the Cudahy
company in 1917 were $50 per cent
based on capital stock and surplus.
Wilson & Sons earnings for the same
year were 296 per cent on the COM
bined capital and surplus
The witness said Thomas Wilson,
president of Wilson & Co. receives an
annual salary of >125nc0, while Vice
President Valentine. of Armour & o.,
receives $4,000 salary annually. with
a bonus of So 600 He said he
thought wee res 'ltiil w IlliC ttiSo IL
cieved the same amount. while Presl-
dent Morris. of Norris & Co, is paid
$4,000 salary. with $4,000 addition
al for being president Of a stockyards
company.
Senator Norris. of Nebraska, sought
to ascertain from Mr. Chase as to
whether the packers books showed
any expenditures made for the purpose
of influencing legislation. The wit
ness said he recalled seeing entries
in Armour & Co.'S books showing the
payment of legal fee to attorneys prin-
cipally in state capitals for services
in introducing bills and watching leg
iSlatureS. He said he did not believe
the whole amount would exceed $780,
600
Hugh McIsaac, an investigator for
the federal trade commission In its
meatpacking inquiry, told the senate
committee what he found ~ hin
ing papers from a private vault Of
Henry Veeder, attorney for Swift &
Company, which the courts declined
to allow the commission to make pub
lie.
