Prices !.
Up or Down?

High prices for livestock in
crease the producers ircome.
Low prices decrease it and even
result in losses. Similarly, high
prices for meat increase con-
sumers expenses.
But SWif & Company as a
middleman does not benefit by
high or lou prices. Our income
depends not on high level of
prices or low level, but rather
on the margin between the live
stock price and the meat and
by-products price.
The company's only concern,
in whether prices should be
high or low, is that they should
be high enough to satisfy pro-
ducers and low enough to please
consumers; but over the move
ment of these prices Swift &
Company has no control.
Swift & Company is compelled
by competition to pay hlgh
enough prices for livestock to
secure an adequate supply. We
must sell meat at price low
enough to make it move. We
endeavor also, between the two
prices, to secure margin large
enough to pay all expenses and
yield fair profit.
Our profitfor 1919 averagedless
than two cents on each dollar of
sales, or 6ls per cent on money
invested.

AN OUTSTANDING CONGRESS-
MAN

One speech in the House debate
stands almost in class by itself
that of Representative Huddleston of
Alabama. He is quiet, clear-headed,
courageous, hard-working member,
who has more than once given proof
of his independence and ability to
think for himself A consistent anti
militarist and real democrat, he
came through the trying times of the
war with a reputation for courage
and with the thorough respect even
of those who disagreed with him.
On this occasion, he once more
broke with his party colleagues and
supported the peace resolution on
grounds that must appeal to all
Americans, even if they do not share
the Alabama Congressman's judge
ment A few sentences ofhis address
follow:
"There is no hope that either Sen
ate or President will yield. They are
immovably deadlocked. 1t cannot be
hoped that two-thirds of the Senators
will vote to approve the treaty in any
form acceptable to the President. We
can go neither backward nor for
ward. The treaty is dead. Let Us
recognize that fact and deal with it
accordingly.
America wants peace. Unrest
and discomfort are universal. The
rich are dissatisfied with their taxes.
Labor cries out against profteering
end exploitation. Suspicion and dis
trust are everywhere. The faith of
the people in their officials is shaken.
Officers of the Government are sus-
picious of the loyalty and fidelity of
our citizens. The masses point to
the vast accumulations of profiteers
denounced as "reds" and radicals"
"Good citizens are yet afraid to
express their honest opinions. The
explosives act, the trading -with-the-
enemy act, and other oppressive war
laws are yet in effect. Workingmen
dare not insist upon adequate wages
and fair conditions because of laws
passed to help win the war. The
people are heartily weary of the
harsh war laws and the conditions
arising from the war status. They
are tired and cry for relief"

NEWARK COMMUNITY CHEST
The Governing Committee Meets and
Elects Permanent Officers

The first meeting of the governing
committee of the Newark Community
Chest met last Friday evening at the
Chamber of Commerce. On a motion
by VIM. M. Morgan, the election of
officers was entered into, and the re-
suit was: Chairman, Rev. Geo. Bohon
Schmitt; vice chairman Gus Wei
gand; secretary, H. A. Atherton.
Following this constitution was
adopted. In effect this constitution
provides for the control of all the
matters of the Chest being vested in
a committee Of twelve representative
citizens, which shall hold office one
year. This committee is to be chosen
each year by an assembly Of dele
gates from the various organizations
which have helped in the work of the
Chest. The secretary was empowered
to employ an assistant on part time,
to do the immense work attending
such an enterprise. Working COM
mittees will be selected by a COM
mittee on committees, and it is ex-
pected that this committee will get
busy at once Every organization
which applies to the Chest for help
must do so at the beginning of the
fiscal year of the Chest, and must
accompany its application with a
budget of its proposed expenditures.
The Chest Committee was exhorted
to take the attitude of wanting to put
Newark's charities on adequate foot
ings, rather than to pare and crimp
the work of the various organizations
which it was created to serve; but
that no organization may take ad-
vantage of the public, an Auditing
Committee will be appointed to care
fully scan each budget presented.
The constitution provides for monthly
collections and disbursement; for
bonding the Treasurer; and for max
ing this organization as business-like
and economical as such an organiza-
ton may be made.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-04-30

The Governing Committee of the
Community Chest held a short meet
ing Monday evening, added an article
to the Constitution, and appointed
DR.. c. L. Wyeth as chairman of the
Committee on Committees. This COM
mittee will go into session immediate
ly, and it is expected that sometime
next week the public will be apprised
Of the personnel of the many COM
mittees who will carry forward the
work of the Chest. A. C. Krug, of
the Park National Bank, was ap-
pointed Treasurer; the public has
been accustomed for many months to
paying the War Chest payments at
this bank, also the Salvation Army
pledges, and it seems to be the logical
place to lodge this part of the work
of the Chest.
