PACKERS PROFITS
REAL ISSUE, CLAIM

CHICAGO, Aug. 2T.-Edward Nor
ris, president of Morris & Co, today
issued the following statement:
"A matter far more important than
the stale and inaccurate report con-
cerning privately owned, and effici-
emily operated, freight cars, is Chair
man Colver's attempt, in his statement
before the Senate Committee on Agri-
culture and Forestry, TO becloud the
chief issue concerning the packing
industry, now before Congress and
the American people.
Mr.. Colver chairman of the Fed
eral Trade Commission. knowing the
correctness OF the packers assertions
that their profit is but q fraction
OF q cent a pound. tried 10 dodge the
issue By saying the profit is not the
big question. 1t Is the big question.
Profit. vital Issue.
Even in normal times and par
ticularly now when the cost OF liv-
ing is exceedingly high, the most inn
pbrtant question involved in the
pending legislation is the rate Of the
packers profits. The public should
not allow trade commissioners or
propagandists of special interests TO
obscure the fact that the packing in
dustry, as at present organized, is
functioning efficiently at an amaz-
fnRly small rate OF profit, and tina.
such interference as now proposed at
washington would, by disturbing this
efficient operating, appreciably in
crease the cost OF living.
$50 far as refrigerator cars and
ether privately owned cars are con-
eerned, ] am content to ask the pub
lie to choose between the conclusions
Of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. which made an investigation eX-
tending over many years, and 8
biased publicity report OF the Federal
Trade Commission, a body without
special training in railroad problems.
Packers Pay Same Rate.
"The packers who ship in their own
cars pay the same rate of freight IN
these cars as in railroad owned cars,
and have no advantage over other
shippers in this way. Our cars travel
in the same train as railFoad-owDed
cars, and arrive at destination as the
same time.
'sThe packer owned car, however,
IS unloaded Immediately upon are
rivals by our own employees and re.
turned at once; while the railroad
owned car may stand on the track
days before unloading, and with ne
one to follow 1t up, loses several days
before returning.

owned cars, for we never allow our
