mission as the result Of an exhaustive
Investigation. "lnordinate greed and

pressure for heavy production" the
commission reported as the causes.
Requirements Of properties were
made by great concerns when it be-
came evident that the government was
about to fix prices on a basis Of re-
turn on investment, the report says,
and salaries, allowances and expenses
were in many instances padded to
show increased costs Of conducting
business.
The outstanding feature of its in
vestigation, the commission reported,
was the evidence of a tendency to In
crease and maintain prices against the
forces of competition.
OF all the big profits disclosed by
the investigation, the report says, the
profits of the meat packers and those
allied with them, and by the flour mill
