Federal Trade Commission
Recommends That Rail

Packers Of Power.
- TNIrEp PEEss-


WASHINGTON. Aug. SHOWING 70
break the power of the so-caued packer
trust. the federal trade commission has
recommended TO President Wilson that
the railroad administration be given a
monopoly In the sportation and dis
tribution Of meats.
The report OF the commission made
public by the president today urges
that the far-reaching packer-influence
on American business can be changed
by transferring from the packers to
the railroad administration the follow
ing;
All stock yards in the country. all So
called packs. houses of the packers used
in the distribution of meat. all stock
cars and refrigerator cars used by the
packers, and all ice plants.
This would leave the packers the lone
business OF slau ghtering and skinning
Through control of the storehouses the
railroad would break UP the alleged pri-
GRITTY that the alleged packer trust
grants its members. The control of
the refrigerator cars is a sideswipe at
the California Gamers trust
The report leaves it up to congress to
pass thrs Necessary legislation which
viii enable the railroad administration
to take ossf the packers facilities.
Rhe commission charges in its report
that the five great packing concerns Of
the country-Swift. Armour Morris
Cudahy and Wilson-have attained such
dominate positions that they control at
Will the markets In which they buy
their supplies. the markets in which
they sell their products. and hold the
fortunes OF their competitors in their
hands.
The commission holds that since cat
tie cars are a necessary part OF the
equipment of a railroad such cars
should be under federal control and op-
Grafton and available 10 all alike. 1t
holds that a stock yard is nothing but
depot for cattle.
The commission recommends that all
refrigerator cars be taken over by the
government They also recommend that
all packers warehouses should come
under railroad operation. The commits
sion shows there exists "monopolies
trusts. conspirators and restraint Of
trade out Of harmony with the law and
public interest"
The combination has not stopped at
the most minute integration but has
gone into a state of conglomeration so
that unrelated enterprises are brought
under their control according to the
commission.
