encourage beef production
while housewives were propa-
gandized into thinking meat
would be more plentiful - and
cheaper. But wild initiation gave
livestock men the jitters as
yearlings which used to go for
$50 steadily climbed to three
times that figure.
And, reasoning that eventu-
ally the rising prices must drop
kerplunk, many bre eders
shipped their foundation herds
to market hoping to buy in
again when prices came back
to earth. The net result is a
serious eurtailment of the coun-
try's meat potential-much less
meat for the long pull.
Cattle feeders who laid in
youthful steers at the top dol
lar last fall found their mar
gins wiped out when the cattle
market dropped a few bucks
a while back. But the big pack
ers have not suffered. To them
run way initiation simply
means that farmers, consum-
erS' and clearinghouse workers
dollars roll into their big prof
it pile and help make it bigger.
BIG FOUR packer profits in
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1948-04-03

1947 reached the gigantic total
of $144, 100, 900 compared to the
prewar figure of $26, O00.O 900 in
1889, an increase of 480 per
cent. This was the Swift-Ar-
mor-Cudahy-WilSon payoff
leading the Big Business wolf
pack which wrecked OPA as
the first step in running both
farmers and industrial workers
through the wringer.
The meat price story from
June. 1876 TO June ls47 as
taken from the Us. Depart
naent of Agriculture. shows that
while farmers were paid in
creases of az per cent for i've
stock and retailers charged
customers 81 per cent more for
meat over the counter, the
packers whooped their prices
10 retailers 80 per cent.
As a cover-up for their fl
nancial killing packers put on
an advertising campaign to
prove" that for each pound of
meat they turn out they receive
even less than a paltry Il cent
per pound in profit, mere
drop of blood for their efforts.
They don't tell the public that
they reap "a per cent ON net

worth before taxes.
TODAY. as the big packers
still await trial for ''price fix
ing" on charges brought against
them by the Justice Depart
ment in 1941 and 1912. their
needy workers are walking the
pavement.
The farmers are going 10 back
Them too. BY action of the ex-
ecutive board of the National
Farmers Union. full support of
the strike is being given by that
organization. ITO the end that
the worker who packs meat
can also eat meat"
No American with an eye
for just human decency could
fail to back the clearinghouse
workers in their modest de-
mands for more reasonable
pay and security in return for
the tasks they perform
for the n ton. The nine
cents per hour boost the
packers have offered to the
100000 strikers is so far short
OF needs that any informed
cltlzen-after a glance at the
profit record-would reject it
as an insult to human en-
deavor.

ployed at wage rates of less than
$1.10 an hourAat least 25 to 80
per cent of the workers are en-
ployed at the rate of $1.O2 or
less" Helstein said:
We are not concerned with
what company attorney called
the mythical average working
house worker. The men and
women employed in the industry
are of real flesh and bones
they have families on their in

"a recent study by the u. S.
Department of Labor reveals that
a worker needs an income of $1.39
an hour to maintain bare mini

child. This is 20 cents more than
what two-thirdS of the packing
