OF 1916. The National City Bank, in its
November 1916 bulletin, reports pro-
fits, after taxes, up 20 percent from
the third quarter of 1915 to the third
quarter of 1916 for $50 industrial COM
panies. Corporations not suffering
from material bottlenecks show great
er profits in the third quarter than in
the first and second. Our prediction of
profits for all of 1946-47 is, in part,
based upon trends that are being es-
tablished by these record-breaking pro-
fit reports for the third quarter. Con-
siderable number of production bot
tlenecks were eliminated during the
third quarter and conversion goods
industries began to make profits For
example, many electrical equipment
and automobile manufacturers, with
the elimination of reconversion bottle
necks, made profits in the third
quarter of this year that offset losses
iron and steel companies report pro-
fits for the first nine months of both
1916 and 1915. The majority of the
companies reporting show profit in
creases of up to 300 percent in the
course of the year.
Profits for the fourth quarter Of
1916 will make total profits for the
year even higher than indicated ~
reports for the third quarter These
third quarter reports are significant
because they begin to indicate the
earning ability of corporations for the
year 1947.
Even those industries with recon
version difficulties are beginning to
show profits for the third and fourth
quarters of 1916. AS more and more
production bottlenecks clear, the
heavy goods industries will show
higher and higher profits.
Profits Will Be Much Higher
Decontrols by OPA over most of the
heavy machinery industries, higher
prices for most manufactured pro-
ducts, and increased production ac-
count for the Enthusiastically high pro-
fits in the second half of 1916.
Profits for all corporations, after
taxes, in the fourth quarter will APP
proximate $14 billion. This will bring
profits, for all corporations, after
taxes, to approximately IL billion for
all Of 1916. This is the highest level of
profits in the history of
America.
The estimated 1916 profits are 200
percent higher than average profits in
1869 and about 25 percent higher
han the 1942-45 average of $9.5 bill
ion
In all manufacturing corporations,
1916 profits, after taxes, will be 81
billion, or So billion higher than the
L942-45 average, and $4,5 billion high
81 than the 1868 average.
These record profits clearly vindi-
cate the position taken by the CLIO on
he wage increases in early 1916. The
JIO specifically pointed out that there
vas no need for a price increase to
the wage increase. In
lustries could have paid the 1916
wage increases without increasing
PRICES of their products, and still have
'een left with profits at least equal
o those made during the war years
942-45. But instead of needing the
position of CLIO, American industries
vent ahead to unnecessarily increase
'rices and bring on our present dan
'erOuS 1nflationary situation. - CLIO |

INJURIES STILL TAKE
HEAVY ACCIDENT TOLL

On-the-job accidents in manufactur-
ing still take heavy toll of life and
limb, the Department of Labor report
ed this week.
During the third quarter of 1916, at
least 128,000 workers were disabled
from employment by injuries, the De-
partment said. That's 1880 more than
in the second quarter and 21,300 above
the first.
About 400 of the workers were
known to have died and another 5,400
suffered permanent physical disabiii-
ties, the report disclosed.

ing the coming year, according to
Commissioner Arnold He estimated
that 10000 production credit associa-
ton members have purchased addition
al stock to hasten the day of complete
farmer-ownership.
Commissioner Arnold reported that
credit extended by the production
credit associations in 1916 would total
approximately $500 million, the largest
volume of any year since the system
was established 13 years ago.

National City Bank Bulletin, Aug. '46.
This profit study shows that indus
tries with high-volume operations,
such as processed foods, beverages,
textiles, apparel, drugs, chemicals and
building materials, all had extremely
high profits in the first half of 1916.
AS the heavy industries eliminate
their reconversion problems and begin
moving toward near-capacity produc-
ton levels, they too benefit from the
factors making for unprecedented
profits, after taxes.

The previous discussion dealt with
profits of all corporations, including
mining, public utilities, transportation
and industrial and banking corpora
tions. Limiting ourselves to just manu-
featuring corporations, we have the
same striking increases in profits for
the war years that we had in all cor
porations.
Profits, before taxes, in the base
period 1869, for all manufacturing
corporations, were 1872 billion. In 1913
all-time peak profits, before taxes,
reached $14.9 billion. Average profits
for 1943-45 were $131 billion, or more
than four times the 1869 average.
After taxes, profits of manufacture
ing corporations were $2.5 billion in
1869. This, remember, was the
period on which Congress, in the ex-
cess profits tax bill, determined to
base what was considered an adequate
level of profits. All profits above this
level were to be considered excessive
and subject to the excessive profits tax
However, by 1913, manufacturing pro-
fits, after taxes, were $5,5 billion,
more than twice those of 1869. In
1942-45, the average was $5.1 billion or
double that of 1869
Table number 2 summarizes profits
before and after taxes for all manu-
featuring corporations.
