IN 1919
MAKE 600 MILLIONS
"Biu Five" Earned | 1-2 Cents
on Each Dollar Of Sales,
Saws Association Head.

ATLANTIC CITY, sept lo.-hd-
dressing the opening session or the
convention OF tho American Meat
Packers here yesterday. Thomas II.
Wilson, OF Chicago. president OF the
association, said that none OF the big
ave" hackers received as much as
ca nt and a half OF profit on each dol
lar of sales made in 1919.
Mr.. Wilson made public the pronts
and sales OF eighty-one corporations.
"These eighty one corporations,
with an invested capital and surplus
OF about five and two-thirds bllllons
of dollars, handled about nine and a
ouarter billions OF dollars worth OF
business during 1919. which netted
nearly six hundred millions OF dollars
in profits" said Mr.. Wilson. rhe
combined business of the five packers
was about three an done-half billion
dollars, with an aggregate net pront
of a little more than $34.Oooooo. Ths
combined. business OF the other sew
enty-six corporations was about six
billions, or double that OF the fve
hackers on which they received aggre
gate net profits of 1855, 100000 as com
pared with S34,320,47l for the nVe
packers.
None of the packers received as
much as a cent and a half OF proflt on
each dollar of sales that year. One
packer eanerd only an eighth OF
cent per dollar OF sales. while the
average of the five was less than
cent (0.S3).
In speaking OF the relations be-
tween meat packing companies and
their employees, Mr.. Wilson said:
THE problem OF reduction In the
cost OF living rests largely with
those who produce. Our labor is re-
ceiving the highest wage in tn his
tory OF industry, and IT is up to the
workers to produce enough TO In
crease the purchasing power OF the
money which has been added to their
pay envelopes"
Mr.. Wilson stated that the restric-
ton OF credit and general financial
stringency have forced many pro
ducers to market their live stock
prematurely, with resulting losses in
money and in production.

far as he is personally concerned com
pared to what may be done along the
line OF restoration while he is de-
prived OF his liberty. The man should
forget the day he came 10 do "time"
and hail his coming out" with a de-
gree OF pride, based upon the feeling
that the days and nights were not re-

full thing.
INCREASE IN POPULATION.
During the last nscal year the num-
Der Of prisoners transferred to the
workhouse was S33, a decrease OF
,67s over the preceding year. The
average daily population here In 1919
was 433.05. and In the last fiscal year
534.O3, a decrease OF 23 per cent.
Husbands. judged by non-support
statistics. are finding homelife more
inviting. Five years ago 100 recreant
husbands were sent to occoquan for
non-support The opening of the
world war round 13f worthless nus
bands here. In 1915 the number was
l30, and in 1918 the total was 0S. In
1919 the number dropped to 25, and in
the last fiscal year to 1s. Two nom
support husbands violated paroles In
1919. and in 1920 only one.
BEACON LIGHT.
The Workhouse school. as antic-
ipated. is affording inmates op-
portunities surprising and helpful.
A school In a penal institution Is one
OF it's chief assets-an outward
symbol OF an inward grace-and
through II any man or any woman
may lose the scales from eyes blind
to the right way OF seeing. The
school drives ignorance out and
ignorance is that which drives people
into prison.
Many additional volumes have been
added to the library by persons who
reside in Washington and New York.
The gross cost for each inmate dur
ing the past fiscal year was S334.7O.
This includes males and females.
This is an increase OF S63.59 over the
previous fiscal year.
The net cost for sustenance for
each inmate each day was .326 as
against .2S09.
The mounting variation in prices
and higher wages paid to employees
explains the cause of increase.
