public Wednesday, and 1t Is saio tnas
the report is by far the most senss'
tional ever put out by the commission.
II is stated that the cowmission mas
found that railroad competition mas

equal to one-third Of the United

man is absolute master; that Harrl.

that the purchase of the shares OF one
railroad by another was bad practice
that ought to be stopped by law; tnat
there should be new and effective
laws to prevent imitation of securities
like that in the Alton organization;
that the profits Of the great railroads
OF the far west are being used to BUY
stock and control systems IN the east
instead Of building more roads for the
development of the west. ,a.
Attorneys Frank B. Kellogg ana
Charles A. Severance, who wrote the
report for the commission. find that
the Hartman reorganization OF the Al.
