Excerpts From Recent
Utterances Made in
the Halls of Congress
(During discussion of meat-packing
industry in t he Seuate.)
Mr. Norris—When the Senator from
North Carolina interrupted me I was
about to go a little further into the
subject of Wilson & Co. Wilson &.Co.
is headed by a verv shrewd man. Mr.
Wilson is a very able man. Wilson &
Cc., as everybody knows, constitute
one of the so-called Big Five. It is not
the biggest, but it has had within the
.last few years a remarkable history. It
was reorganized: some other business
was taken over some years ago, and
Mr. Wilson was placed at the head of
it. He was given a salary os $125,000 a
year. That looks pretty big to a man
who works for $2 or $3 a day and yet
pays 60 cents a pound for bacon. That
salary is what Mr. .Wilson gets now
unless his salary has been increased or
diminished. I have not heard of it
being changed. However, that was
not all he got when the reorganized
company started out. Tney made him
a present when he became president of
the company of $100,000 in cash. That
added a little bit to the price of bacon;
but that was not all; they also gavo
him a bonus of $1,500,000 of the com
mon stock of Wilson & Co.
Mr. Nelson—May I ask tho Senator a
question?
Mr. Norris—I yield to the Senator..
Mr. Nelson—Was he a poor man and
in needy circumstances?
Mr. Norris—I can not inform the
Senator just how poor Mr. WTilson was,
but I do not think there is any occa
sion for bis being poor any longer. He
was also given, as I have atated, a
bonus of $1,500,000 in common stock,
which he himself testified he would not
sell for par, though at that time it was
selling below par. The people have
given the company profits enough in
the price they have paid for meat and
the lower prices that the farmer has
received for his hogs to make that
stock very valuable. But that is not
quite the end of the story: they also
gave him some more besides. In addi
tion to that they gave him an option on
$3,500,000 worth of common stoek at
$10 per share. He took up that option—
it was worth more than that—by sim
ply selling a part of it at a hig^ price
and paving for the remainder at a
lower price. He sold none of it for less
than $50 u share and some of it for $53.
He had purchased the stock at $10 a
share. Of course, the stock did not
originally cost anything. When he got
through he was the owher of 43,000
shares of stock of the par value of
$4,300,000 which bad cost him abso
lutely nothing. In 1917 that stock paid
a little over 16 per cent in dividends.
That will look good to the farmer who
is selling his hogs at less than cost and
to the poor devil who is paying50 cents
a pound for meat. J« addition to that,
Mr Wilson was getting the poor man’s
salary of $125,DOO a year, while he had
$100,000 to spend as he saw fit without
making an explanation as-to his ex-j
penditures.
Mr. Nelson—Mr. President, was he
making any sacrifices when he accept
ed the employment at the salary the
Senator has named? i
Mr. Norris—No; he probablv re
ceived an increase in salary over the
'amount be had theretofore beeo paid.
I am inclined to think he made great
sacrifices working so cheaply and
working so hard at such a small sal
ary; it. probably was a greai sacrifice
so him; but he was patriotic;, he want
ed to help the consumers of meat get
something cheap to eat, and he was
anxious to have the farmer out on the
prairie get a little protit on the hogs
and the cattle that he raised. He made
sacrifices, no doubt.
Mr. Simmons—Mr. President, what
made his services so valuable to this
concern?
Mr. Norris—He is not an exception
to the general rule. I have heard
through the investigaiion what other
packers receive by way of salary, and I
think he averages up with the rest of
them. His services were not particu
larly valuable, but it was possible for
1 this kind of an operation to be carried
on by men who controlled enough of
certain food products to set the prices
both for the producer and the con
sumer. This isoDly one place where
the rake-ott takes place. It starts in
at the stockyards, where the farmer
first sells his cattle and hogs, and it.
runs clear through until the consumer
buys the product.
Mr. Nelson—I should like to ask the
Senator another question.
Mr. Norris—Very well.
Mr. Nelson—After this man has been
s<> successful, has he built any libtaries
or started any collegqjs or sent aoy mis
sionaries to China or to any other for
eign countries?
Mr. Norris—Not tbai I know of. I
suppose he will have to have an in
crease of salary before he can do that
He will have to ask a little more for
meat at one end and pay a little less
for hogs and cattle at the other; then,
no doubt, be will be able to perform
that kind of an operation.
