first day s fighting was favorable to
the allies, who lost no ground of con
sequence anywhere. The • Ameri-
cans carried off the honors of the
day with the capture of prisoners.
The allies were victorious also in Al-
bania and Asia durng the day.
At Vaux. near Chateau Thierry, the
Germans gained some ground in tr.e
first attack, but the Americans on
guard here promptly drove them bac k
700 yards beyond their original lines
and captured some prisoners
Fast of Chateau Thierry, along the
Marne for a distance of apparently
10 miles, the Germans succeeded in
crossing the river in the face of mu
chine gun attacks by the Americans,
and advanced about five miles to
Conde. The Americans here, with a
whir.wind counterattack, burled the
Germans back to the Marne and cap
lured prisoners estimated at between
1,000 and 1.500, Including an entire
brigade staff. It Is commented on a-

by the French and British for slop
ping the German drive, which, in the
Vaux region, was directed at Parts
and east of Vaux, to cutting the al

From the Marne eastward the Ger
mans gained some ground, but very
little, the gains being toward the
southeast, which is away from and
not toward Paris Further German
attacks are expected, but dispatches
indicate that the a lies are more than

Are the Packers Profiteers?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business
The Federal Trade Commission in it* recent report on war
profits, stated that the five large meat packers have hern
profiteering and that they have a monopoly of the market.
These conclusions, if fair ami just, are matter* of serious
concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other > itizen of our country.
tional profit make* only a lair return on this, and a* haa
been slated, the largir portion of the profita earned haa
been used to finance huge stock* of goods and to provide
additions and improvement* made necessary by the enor-
mous demands of our army and navy and the alhea.
The figures given on profit* are misleading and the state-
ment that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by
the facts.
If von are a hnsines* man you will appreciate the aignifi-
can.-e of lhe*e fact*. If von are unacquainted with busi-
ness. talk this matter over with some bnsmeaa acqnaint-
—w,th Jour banker, sav and ask him to compare
The packers mentioned in the report siend reedy to prove
their profit* reasonable snd necessary.
profits of the packing industry with those of any other
large industry at the present time.
The meat business is one of the largest American indus-
tries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with iU
details must he prepared for large totals.
No evidence ia offered by the Federal Trade Commissio*
in support of the statement that the large packer, hav. a
monopoly. The Commission's own report shows the large
number and importance of other packers.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were $110,000,000 for the three war .'ears.
This sum is compared with $19,000,000 as the average
annual profit for the three .tears before the war, making it
appear that the war profit was $121,000,000 grea.er than
the pre-war profit.
The packer* mentioned in the statement stand ready to
proie to anv fair-minded person that they are in keen
competition with each other, and that they have no power
to manipulate price*.
This compares a three-year profit with a one-year profit a
manifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not on y
misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made a mistake in the figures themselve*.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one-third of the meat business of the country.
The aggregate three-year profits of $140,000,000 was
earned oil sales of over four and a half billion dollars,
oilans about three cents on each doUar of aalea—or a mere
fraction of a cent per pound of product.
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
utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful story of
the methods of distribution throughout this broad land, as
well as iu other countries.
@
Packe's’ profits are a negligible factor in price, of live
,lo k and meats. No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in eo-u|Wfaiu»g
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
Furthermore^and this is very important -only a small
portion of tins profit has been paid in dividends. I he
balance has been put back into the businesses. It had to
