mission finds it the one loglcal anu
practical way, whether in time Oh

commends:
"I. That the government acquire

such ownership be declared a gov
eminent monopoly.
"2. That the government acquire
through the railroad administrators

under such conditions as will insure
open, competitive markets, with uni
form sale of charges for all services

"3. That, the government acquire

all privately owned refrigerator cars
and all necessary equipment for
their proper operation, and that sucn
ownership be declared a government
monopoly.
az. That the federal government
acquire such of the branch houses,

as are necessary to provide facili-
ties for the competitive marketing

ated by the government as public

If the president and congress act
favorably upon this recommendation
which is the judgment of the best
investigators and stock and meat ex-
perts in America, who have been
employed upon the study for the
past year-then the Big Five will be

To force upon these periodicals
