Uhe elimination of the book abuse alone material-

opposed because there was not accurate information

The Dupont plant charges 70 cents a pound, and al-
so requires the government to furnish the alcohol,
which runs the price up to about 75 cents.
From these figures, the Trust plant is making a
profit of 10 cents a pound; but it must be considered
that tin outside plant is put to great expense in
keeping its property insured, and when numerous
other expenses are kept in mind the profit of the
Trust plant is not exorbitant. •
