Moreover. the big Five stand in
real financial relationship with 100
odd corporations, whose extortionate
profiteering has contributed largely
to the present financial distress
among the working people of the ma
ton"
Propaganda Misleading.
Mr.. .Lauck characterized as mis-
leading the widely published adver-
tisements and propaganda of the
packers. conveying the impression
that their profits amounted to less
than cents on each dollar of sales,
equivalent to a return of 26h per
cent on net worth of capital stock
and surplus combined"
Mr.. Lauck directed attention to the
wartime abuses of the packers with
respect to cost plus contracts.
Costs were wantonly inflated" he
said. in order that n lower. per cent
on costs might give a larger profit in
dollars. The packers have been actu-
ally guilty of pushing up costs to
serve their own ends. Again, Ameri-
ca, the chief cattle producing coun-
try OF the world. sets the price for
the world markets. SO, the cost of
live stock in America in deliberately
increased, because a high world mar
ket means enormous profits for the
packers in the South American and
Australian business, The American
consumer must bear the burden OF
high prices so that the packers may
continue to reap fabulous profits in
their foreign undertakings"
Not So. Says Packer Swift.
L. L. Swift, president of Swift &
Co, said regarding the LAUGH state
ment:
swift 81 Co. has no part in the
present controversy in which Mr.
Lauck is engaged. However. his
statement unfortunately recites GER
tain inaccuracies from the federal
trade commissions reports. which we
feel called on to correct
~ rate of . per cent on sales does
not yield 261s per cent on net worth
as claimed by Mr.. Lauck. 1t has yield :
ed Swift e. Co. only about II per cent
on capital employed. This is not pro-
fitenring.>
"lIr. Lauck says that we control
canned goods and other grocery pro-
ducts. He ignores the fact that the
larre packers. in competition with
each other, handled only or 4 per
cent of the groceries of the country
and even this small percentage has
now been taken away by court de-
cree.
I'VE control the price Of no COM
modities. Swift & Co. is in open
competition with everv other packer
anil we handle less than Is per cent
even Of the meat supply of the ma
tfon."

Washington. May 31.-One- sixth
of the income of the average con-
sumer in the United States in the
present period of high prices and
profiteerins goes for products con-
trolled either directly or indirectly
by the big packing interests.
This statement is made by w. Jett
Lauck, consulting economists for the
railroad labor organizations, in a
survey OF profiteering in the packing
industry submitted to the United
States railroad labor board.
The average American family"
said Mr.. Lauck, has been contrib
uting during and since the war pc
Rod from $500 to $500 year to swell
the gross returns of the Big Five
meat packers, namely the Swift. Ar
mour, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy
companies.
Big Increase in Profits.
While wages paid by these con-
Germs increased Is per cent, and the
value OF products only 100 per cent
the profits increased from 500 to 400
per cent, not only in dollars, but al
so In rates of return on investment
during and since the war.
The precise amount which the ra-
pacity of these big interests is cost
ing the American public is not ascer-
tainable, but they now have under
their control meat products. poultry
fish. eggs. milk. butter. cheese, can
ned vegetables. canned fruits, canned
fish. cotton seed oil, soap. leather
sugar, and other necessaries of daily
life, while their grip Is fastening up
