Plain Facts About the Meat Business j !The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits, stated that the five large meat packers have been profiteering and that they have a monopoly of the market. These conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of serious concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing business but to every other citizen of our country. The figures given on profits are misleading and the statement state-ment that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by the facts. The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove their profits reasonable and necessary. The meat business is one of the largest American industries. indus-tries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with its details must be prepared for large totals. Tha report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers were $140,000,000 for the three war years. This sum is compared with $19,000,000 as the average (annual profit for the three years before the war, making it appear that the war profit was $121,000,000 greater than the pre-war profit. This compares a three-year profit with a one-year profit a manifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not only misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mistake in the figures themselves. I The aggregate three-year profits of $140,000,000 was earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It means about three cents on each dollar of sales or a mere fraction of a cent per pound of product. Packers' profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit. Furthermore and this is very important only a small I portion of this profit has been paid in dividends. The balance ha been put back into the businesses. It had to be, as you realize when you consider the problems the packers have had to solve and solve quickly during these war years. To conduct this business in war times, with higher costs and the necessity of paying two or three times the former prices for live stock, has required the use of two or three time the ordinary amount of working capital. The addi- tional profit makes only a fair return on this, and as haa ; been stated, the larger portion of the profits earned haa 1 been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to provida additions and improvements made necessary by the eno ! mous demands of our army and navy and the allies. If you are a business man you will appreciate the significance signifi-cance of these facts. If you are unacquainted with business, busi-ness, talk this matter over with some business acquaintance acquaint-ance with your banker, say and ask him to compare profits of the packing industry with those of any other ' large industry at the present time. i I i i i No evidence is offered by the Federal Tradt Commission in support of the statement that the large packers have a j " monopoly. The Commission's own report shows the larga number and importance of other packers. j - S The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to -prove to any fair-minded person that they are in keen competition with each other, and that they have no power to manipulate prices. i j I . If this were not true they would not dare to make thii H positive statement. 5 Furthermore, government figures show that the five large 9 packers mentioned in the report account for only about 3 one-third of the meat business of the country. S They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their business. Of how, for instance, they can sell dressed beef for less than the cost of the live animal, owing to j utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful story of the methods of distribution throughout this broad land, as j well as in other countries. ! The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operating I with each other to the extent of together presenting thii , public statement. t ' . I They have been able to do a big job for your government J in its time of need; they have met all war time demands I promptly and completely and they are willing to trust their : case to the fairmindedness of the American people with the facts before them.
