SWIFT CHARGES REPORT
JUGGlES REAL FIGURES

president Of swift l. Co, today de-
clhred that the latest report Of the
federal trade commission contained no
new facts and was an evident effort
TO influence at this time proposed radi-
cal legislation.
Mr., Swift said:
This latest report Of the federal
trade commission Is merely an attack
upon large and successful business or
gani2ations and should be resented by
all Americans who are proud OF the
Industrial progress Of the nation, II
contains nothing new and is an out
growth of the former discredited Heney
eS parte investigation. This report, so
far as l am informed, contains abso-
lutely no evidence OF collision among
the five largest packers and / say
for Swift & Co. as, | have said many
any kind with any other packer TO
effect the prices of live stock or meats.
The manner In which the trade COM
mission jugBles figures and resorts to
s~ensationalism betrays the insincerity
OF the commission.
We are living UP to both the spirit
and the letter of the law and want to
cooperate with the government in
every helpful and constructive way
DDS used by this important branch of
the government.
Y say. that the large packers and
their individual businesses are a public
benefit and a decided factor in keen
ing down the spread between live
stock and meat price. This report Is
put out now as n part OF the propa-
sanda In which the trade commission
with others is engaged in seeking to

subject the packing industry and other
lines of business to the arbitrary on
troll of subordinate government off,
Gals through a license system.
1T Is to be regretted that In these
days when the public feels keenly the
pressure Of high prices a government
body does not give out facts respecting
prices and profits, This has never been
done fairly by the federal trade commits
sion as regards the packing industry
although the commission has constant
ly a the most complete information in
Its possession. Nc disputes that
OF the total receipts the packers de-
rived from the products OF animals
about SIS per cent is paid out for the
live animals themselves. About 13 per
cent is paid out for wages, t~ransporta-
ton and other such expenses and about
2 per cent on this turnover is earned
by the packer as net profit n no one
disputes that this amount is but a small
fraction of a cent per pound and that
to effect the price which the consumer
pays for meats.
THE report just issued by the trade
commission and its discussion of the
number of subsidiary companies and
It's calculation Of percentages Of tho
classes Of business handled by the
packers are not only but are
entirely immaterial to the real ques-
tion In which the public Ia interested,
viz. Why are prices hight I do not be-
lieve that the findings Of such a pre-
JUDGED and unfair report should be
used to influence public opinion or as
a basis for the radical legislation that
has been introduced at Washington"

AS TO financial power. the report in
part said:
The packer has drawn to a marked
degree upon the banks OF the county
for liquid 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 pur-
the big packer has secured affili-
alton through stock ownership, repre-
sentation on directorates, and In other
ways, with numerous banks and trust
companies"
After reviewing the interest Of the
packers in the leather, fertilizer. cotton
seed oil, grain and breakfast food in
dustries, the report said;
The reason why packers are seeking
control of the substitutes for meat
the foods han compete with meats-are
obvious. II the prices Of substitutes
for meats are once brought under pack
err control, the consumer will have lit
tie to gain In turning to them for re-
lief from excessive meat prices"
Judged conserVatively by trade esti-
mates, the big five handle at least half
OF the poultry, eggs and cheese in the
main channels Of Interstate commerce,
Most estimates place the total produc-
ton in dressed poultry and eggs con-
trolled by the packers at a higher per-
centage.
Recently the big packers began
dealing in various staple groceries and
vegetables, such as rice, potatoes, beans
and coffee. and Increased their sales
at such a rate that In certain lines they
have become factors of great moment"
Referring to the packers activities In
South America the report said that
from establishment of a single plant In
Argentina in 1907 by Swift and com
pany, the American packers, Swift, Ar
mour, Morris and Wilson. had developed
by 1917 until for that year they ex-
ported 57.4 per cent of all exports OF
frozen and chilled beef quarters from
Argentina and Uruguay.

UnskiIled Service Men Can
Learn Ship-BuiIding Industry

Splendid opportunities are now op-
en- to disabled service men 10 obtain
vocational training in the shipbuild-
ing industry at the same time that
they are earning excellent incomes, it
is announced today by Colonel Ar
thur Woods, Assistant to the Secre-
tary of War, who is in charge of the
unemployment of ex-service men.
Men who are interested in these
opportunities should communicate
with the office of the Assistant to the
Secretary of War, which will provide
them with further information on
this point. The chief opportunity is
with the Submarine Boat Corpora
tion in Newark, N. j., which offers
from acc. to SEC. per hour to men
who are learning the trade at the
same time that it teaches them any
of the following trades in its school:
Riveters, holders-on, heaters, chip
pers and caulkers, reamers and drill
ers, boilers, regulators, painters, line
men, shipitters, pipefitting, marine
plumbers, pipe coverers, pipe hang
ers. erection machinists and electric
welders.
A man can become a proficient
ship worker within six weeks to two
months, depending upon the trade,
and his personal application, when he
is put on production. He IS taught
right on the job and is producing at
the same time that he is learning.
The records Of this school show that
many graduates are earning SIS to
800 a week as riveters, and very
substantial wages in other related
occupations.
This is typical of the manner in
which large industrial concerns are
responding to the request OF the War
Department for the training Of un-
skilled discharged service men who
are ambitious to become skilled
workers, but must at the same time
be earning enough to support them
selves.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE Is
NOT POPULAR HERE

That is, if Figures Voice The Real
Sentiment-Poll is Made by The
Antis-Of $4,000 Voters Inter-
viewed, 29,461 Opposed Suffrage
For Women; Only 2,1ti0 Were in
Favor of il.
Woman suffrage in Maryland is
not a very popular thing if figures
gathered by the Maryland Associa-
ton Opposed 10 Woman Suffrage
means anything. The result of a
poll in Baltimore and nine other
cities of Maryland was communicat-
ed to Mayor Broening yesterday by
Mrs. H. C. Griffin, executive seere-
tary of the association. 1t showed
that out of $4,000 voters who were
questioned about woman suffrage,
29,461 were opposed, 2,169 IN favor
of granting women the right to vote,
and 470 were neutral-htey didn't
give a huckleberry whether the wo-
men voted or not.
According to the poll Baltimoreans
are so overwhelmingly opposed to
suffrage for women that the fair
ones who are interested in obtaining
a voice at the polls had better stop
right now and go back to looking af-
ter the home and the babies. Here
are the figures for Baltimore, where
approximately $4,000 voters were ap
preached: Neutral, 337; in favor OF
suffrage, 1,410; opposed, 21, ,562.
And conditions in the nine other
cities are equally as bad. The re-
turns 'flom Cumberland showed that
2.444 persons opposed suffrage,
while only 100 favored it and % OF
those approached were neutral; in
Frederick, 916 were opposed, 81 in
favor and IA neutral on the subject.
The other returns follow:
Annapolis, 21 neutral, SO in favor
and 731 opposed; Belair, 10 neutral,
