' the profits of the packers have been, j jj limited by the Food : Administration , ii , since November 1, 1917. For this pur- ! ! yr j j pose, the business of Swift & Company I .V; jj -:' is now divided into three classes: ! - - ' . Class 1 includes such products as beef, : - jj pork, mutton, oleomargarine and 'jiii - others that" are essentially animal ii . products. Profits are limited to 9 r ,h , ! ' per cent of the capital employed in ( I II .-- J ; - these departments, (including 8ur ; 1 j ! j ' plus and borrowed money), or not " I v "' , ' b ' to exceed two and a half cents on . 'il l .. ' v each dollar of sales. ii ' ' ' ' n r v ' ' ' I'll ' yr Ii:' Class 2 includes the soap, glue, ml . Jj fertilizer, and other departments ; - . more or less associated with the i v , meat business. Many of these de- : .'. jji! . " partments are in competition with jlj' " . ' outside businesses whose profits j l j ' ' , are not limited. Profits in this class ;; j I n are restricted to IS per cent of the . f-. , 'I I ' capital employed. ; pi Qass 3 includes outside investments, - j such as those in stock yards, and ;i m( - j the operation of packing plants in jil j! ; j 1 1 foreign countries. Profits in this - . ; , li j' j class are not limited. ! jj : - Total profits for all departments . j v ' j together in 1918 will probably be j; j h'j : between three and four per cent on jj j j j : an increased volume of sales. jij L . ti The restrictions absolutely guar- Hi I , antee a reasonable relation between - ' live stock prices and wholesale meat j !; ; prices, because the packer's profit can- i not possibly average more . than a I fraction of a cent per pound of product jl Since the profits on meat (Class 1) - jj jj are running only about 2 cents on each jj I dollar of sales, we have to depend on I j ! the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer , j j 3 f I (Class 2, also limited) and other depart- '"!
