81. Joseph the Center

st. Joseph is the real center of the
meat-p packing industry OF Missouri
when it comes to total worth and
quantity of products turned out an
nualy since this leading industry first
invaded the commonwealth. The
1919 preliminary information, which
Is subject to slight revision before it
appears in the 1920 Red Book Of the
Missouri Bureau Of Labor Statistics
indicates that the total worth of
packing products, not includ-
ing dressed poultry, turned out there
in 1919, was S157,5S3,2t9 rs compare
to s155.5S3.113 for the year 19lS;
$ll7.5SS,927 for 1917, sS3,493,999 for
1916, $55,164,0O0 for 1915. and S5e,-
| 795 900 for 1914. The worth of all
wholesale sausage making and of
packing house by-products are in
cluded in this array Of wealth.
The St. Joseph packing houses in
1919 paid out s7,5i2,S46 to 6,237 toll
ers, consisting Of 5,699 members Of
the masculine sex and sos women
and girls. For 1914 the st. Joseph
packing establishments paid out
$2.S92.OOO to 3.752 workers, the same
consisting Of 3,492 of the sterner sex
and 26O women and girls.
When it comes to number OF pack
ing establishments St. Louis easily ex-
cells st. Joseph and the balance Of
the state combined. Preliminary 1919
information from twenty-seven st.
Louis meat packing and sausage
making plants Indicate according to
the compilations of Supervisor Of Sta
tistics A. T. Edmonston OF the Mis-

955.62I for 1915, Ss6,s55,3l4 for 1915
and Ss6.6S4.OOO for 1914,
The ST. Louis packing and sausage
making plants, including stock on
hand January !, 1870, represented a
total investment Of Sl2,6zasSs as
compared to shsgs.Sl4 for 1914.
/ The 1919 St Louis army of wage
earners and salaried persons consisted
of 4.0Ss divided between 3.771 men
and youths and Sls women and girls.
The expansion Of this industry in five
years is shown by that in 1914 the
st. Louis plants considered only en-
ployed 2.32s workers, consisting OF
2.235 men and youths and 81 women
and girls. The 1919 army of toilers

The constant growth in importance
