SWIFT & COMPANY'S PART IN
HELPING TO WIN THE WAR.

Some of the great accomplishments
of American business during the war
are just beginning to creep to the
surface now that the ban of censor
ship has been removed. Every in
dustry devoted great part of its
time and energy to the manufacture
of supplies needed not only by the
United States but by the Allies and
few persons not actively engaged in
the work realize its extent.
The PREPARATION and handling Of
meat food products was, of course,

and it was fortunate flor the coun-
try that the packing industry was al
ready modified for service long be-
fore the Lusitania was sunk
The problem of securing an ade-
quate supply Of meat for the army
and navy caused the government less
worry than any other major problem.
All that was necessary for the gov
eminent to do was to determine the
requirements and need OF the army
and navy, and notify the packers and
they delivered the goods.
The manner in which the packers
met the emergencies which arose DUR
ing the war is well illustrated in the
case OF Swift & Company who in one
week filled government order for
32,OO000O pounds of meat and fat.
This necessitated the dressing Of 49,
900 cattle and 100000 hogs, and re-
quired 1000 freight cars to transport.
Another instance is found in an
order which was received one Sat-
urday afternoon at five o'clock for
100000 pounds of special cut of
dry salt meats. The war department
wanted this shipment of 43 cars box
ed and on the way by the following
Tuesday noon, less that 70 hours dis
4ant Swift & Company had the last
car loaded and rolling an hour be-
.ore noon on Tuesday.
In still another case the govern
tnent could get no one to put up
fresh butter in tins for overseas
shipment. Swift & Company accepted
IN order for 100000 pounds on May
eth. 1918. 1t was necessary to equip
three creameries with machinery and
supplies. and to organize the help to
| do work entirely new to them, but
the first car was rolling eastward in
| 80 days and month later the entire
order was completed.
The tremendous total Of $55O,000,-
| 900 worth of supplies was furnished
by Swift & Company alone to the
American and Allied governments
during the war The peak was reach
ed in December, 1918, when the goods
furnished totaled s35,OOO,0O0 in this
one month
Meats naturally formed the. bulk
| of sales, but considerable quantities
of wool were furnished the United
States government. while the AL
lies purchased large amounts of lard
and lard products.
Even If there had been any inclin-
alton on the part of the packers to
"profiteer," this would have been
out of the question under the rigid
regulations enforced by the Food
administration. With meat prices Of
ficially determined by the govern
ment and with profits limited to a
definite percentage, possibility Of un-
fair dealing was removed.
The packing industry required nc
federal financial aid, and additional
facilities did not have to be con-
structed by the government, such as
shipyards for the ship-builders, and
additional factory units for munition
manufacturers.
Over $500 employees of Swift & Co.
answered the call to the colors and
served in practically every branch Of
the army and navy. They are re-
turning rapidly to civilian life and
the company has adopted the follow
ing broad policy with respect to the
unemployment of these men. Every
returned soldier or sailor will be CIV
en- his old position, or one equally as
good, at salary or wage equal to

sing matters of Official business,

The most important matters be-
fore the President which must be
attended to at once are the approp-

by the recent Congress. Also the
Agricultural Bill, which carrying
rider, the repeal of the daylight
saving clause has provoked some
