Public education' is advocated BY
Doctor Krusen in his weekly health
letter as a means of cutting down the
number of industrial accidents resulting
in blindness
Doctor Krusen said in PENNSYLVANIA
alone there are reported 10000 eye
accidents annually, resulting in total
blindness of 300 cases. He said fully
one half of all blindness can be pre-.
vented and the other half be made at
least partially self supporting through
vocational training.

stated the packers handle rs to so per
cent of all cheese produced in Wis
consin alone, were 500 per cent of the
entire country's cheese was made at
the time of the last manufacturing
census in 1914. All of the big five
are distributors of cheese and all ex-
cept Wilson d Co. own and control
large cheese companies.
1.-The packers are also important
factors in condensed milk, and are
rapidly increasing their production.
Wisconsin is covered by their cream
cries, condenseries and buying sta
tions, and similar process of concen-
tration and control is already evident
in the other principal dairy states.
Swift & Co. is the largest single but
ter distributor in the United States,
handling in 1915 approximately 50,-
100000 pounds, or nearly as much as
the combined sales of the two largest
non-packer organizations, and the but
ter department was pushing for a rs
per cent increase in 1918 over 1917.
The big five, the report shows, sold
in 1916 through their branch houses
alone, nearly 100,000,000 pounds of
butter, 100000 pounds of cheese
and over 1a5,000,0O0 dozen eggs.
"Fruit and vegetable canning are
remote from slaughtering and meat
packing, but the big packers, through
their branch house system of distri-
button possess special advantages in
this field Of industry" the report says.
"The big five's advantage rests not so
much on their ownership of canning
factories, although in some branches
their output amounts to more than a
quarter of the total for the United
States, as upon their rapidly growing
control of the wholesale distributor of
canned goods. Armour & Co. in
creased its canned goods sales from
about $6,500,000 in 1916 to $4,000
600 in 1917. Armour, Wilson and
Morris have likewise entered the
manufacturing phase of the canning

mour owns Ga per cent of the stock
and other members of the Armour
family 22.9 per cent, directly or
through its subsidiaries operates over
80 country grain elevators. Its eight
terminal elevators at Chicago and it's
two at Kansas City constitute 25 per
cent of the total elevator capacity of
those cities. In 1917 its sales were
74,847 900 bushels, or 22.6 per cent of
all grain receipts at Chicago, the
worlds greatest market; and its bus
mess is growing rapidly. In connec-
ton with it's chain of country elevat-
ors, the Armour Grain Company mer-
chandises fertilizer, feed, coal, fence
posts, wire fencing, builders hard
ware, binding Irvine, lumber, mill
work, cement, lime, plaster, brick, sand
and gravel and roofing.
In the manufacture of breakfast
foods, and stock and chicken feeds,
the Armour Grain CO., says the report,
sis expanding especially in the line of
producing retail brands. Within four
years it has undertaken the manu-
facture of Armour's Oats, has taken
over the Buffalo Cereal Co. with it's
many brands of cereal foods and ami
NAL feeds, and in 1917 took over the
Mapl-Flake Mills of Battle Creek,
Mich"
"The reason why the packers are
seeking control of the substitutes for
meat-the foods that compete with
meats.-are obvious" says the report
"If the prices of substitutes for meats
are once brought under packer control,
the consumer will have little to gain
in turning to them for relief from ex-
cessive meat prices"
Judged conservatively by trade
estimates, the big five handle at least
half of the poultry, eggs and cheese in
the main channels of interstate COM
merce," the report states. Most es-
Inmates place the total production in
dressed poultry and eggs controlled
by the packers at a higher percentage.
Practically all estimates received

HIGH COST OF LIVING
(From Reports of the Federal
Trade Commission.)

Warning of an approaching domina-
ton of the nations food supply by the
big five Chicago meat packers, the
Federal Trade Commission made pub
lie part of it's report to the president
on its investigation of the meat indus
try, bearing on Extent and Growth
of Power of the Five Packers in
Meat and Other Industries"
"An approaching packer domination
of all important foods in this country
and an international control of meat
products with foreign companies
seems certainty unless fundamental
action is taken to prevent it," the re-
port says.
"a fair consideration of the course
the five packers have followed and the
position they have already reached
must lead to the conclusion that they
threaten the freedom of the market of
the country's food industries and of
the by-product industries linked there
with.
"The meat packer control of other
foods will not require long in devel-
oping," says the report. "The history
of the packers growth is interviewer
with illegal combinations and rebates
and with undisclosed control of cor
porations."
Pointing out that the big five pack
ers jointly or separately WELD con-
trolling interest in STA companies, mi
nority interest in 95 others--a total
of 1852 companies--and that they pro-
duce or deal in some IT'S commodities,
largely food products, the report
gives this picture of growing packer
invasion into related and unrelated in
duStries:
an addition to meat foods, they
produce or deal in such divers commo-
dities as fresh tomatoes and banjo
strings, leather and cotton seed oil,
breakfast foods, win fiz, curled hair,
pepsin and washing powders. Their
branch houses are not only stations
for the distribution of meat and poul-
try, but take on the character Of
wholesale grocery stores, dealers in
various kinds of produce and jobbers
to special lines of trade.
"They have interests large enough
to be a dominating inuuence in most
of the services connected with the
production and distribution Of animal
foods and their by -products, and are
reaching out for control, not only of
substitutes of animal food, but of sub
stitutes for other lines into which the

them. They are factors in cattle loan
companies making the necessary loans
to growers and feeders of live stock;
are interested in railways and private
car lines transporting live stock and
manufactured animal products in most

of the important stock yards COM
rely for market news.
"They are interested in banks from
which their competitor packing houses
borrow money; in companies supply
ing machinery, ice, salt, materials,
boxes, etc, to themselves and their
competitors; they are principal deal
ers on the provision exchanges where
future prices in standard cured ami
NAL products are determined; they or
their subsidiary companies deal in
hides, oleo, fertilizer material and
other crude animal by-products; pur-
chase from other packers these crude
by-products, and themselves carry the
manufacture thereof to further
stage than most Of their competitors.
They are important factors in the
leather industry, in oleomargerine and
lard substitutes, in cotton seed oil, in
fertilizer, in soap, in glue, etc. Their
vast distributing system, with the adj
vantages arising from the control of
private cars, cold storage and net
work of branch houses, has enabled
them to extend their activities on a
large scale into poultry, eggs, cheese,
butter, rice, breakfast foods, canned
vegetables, soda fountain supplies
and other lines. From rendering edi-
BILE fats from what would otherwise be
wasted in their own factories, they
have reached out to secure for rem
dering the waste fat and bones of To-
cal butchers in large sections of the
country, and in some instances are in
terested in companies contracting for
the disposal of garbage of large cities.

Some of Swift & Co.'S subsidiarys are

trail America are slaughtered by or for
some of the big packers at Mobile and
Jacksonville. In England, France,
Italy, Holland and other European
countries large Notwithstanding COM
panies have been organized by the
packers to sell the meats from their
plants in the United States, Argentina,
Uruguay, Brazil and Australia"
The big five, the report shows, have
control of or interest in public utility
corporations in Sioux City, Kansas
City, South st. Paul, Portland, Ore,
South San Francisco, South st. Joseph,
Mo-, Hill City, Mimi, Fort Worth,
Texas, and Chicago.
As to financial power, the report in
part says: "The packer has drawn to
marked degree upon the banks of
the country for funds. He could not
operate on the scale he does without
the very large loans furnished by the
banks. To assure himself loans ample
to his purpose, the big packer has Sc
cured affiliation through stock owner
ship, representation on directorates
and in other ways, with numerous
banks and trust companies. Mr.. Ar
mour, Mr.. Swift, Mr.. Morris and Mr..
Wilson are directors in banks affiliat-
ed closely with those who are strong
at the sources of credit in the United
States. Being thus allied with the
powerful interests at the sources of
credit, the packers power is great, not
/ only for financing their own national
and international operations, but for
affecting, for good or i'll, the credit of
cattle producers and of competitors or
customers in any line"
The packer invasion of the leather
industry is shown n the report to have
reached the following point at the
| close of 1917: Armour, Swift, Morris
and Wilson--Cudahy not being en-
gagged in tanning until the close of
19l7-produced A per cent of the
country total output of sheep and
lamb shoe stock; II per cent of sheep
and lamb gloves and other stock; IL
per cent Of shoe stock tanned from
calf, kip and all skins other than
sheep and lamb and goat and kid, and
