Washington, Aug. 8.-Eovern-.
ment acquisition and control of
all the principal stOckyarils, cold
storage plapts and warehouses

ahy Packing Company exercise
not only over the meat industry
of the country but other neces-
sary food supplies.
The commissions report is based
upon exhaustive hearings conducted
recently in many cities and was made
public today through the White
House. 1t has been in the hands of
the President since July and it was
explained that it had not previously
been issued. because the President
first wished to be in possession Of
full information"
Basing it's statement upon a great
volume of evidence examined, much
of it taken from the confidential files
of the packing companies, the> COM
mission said the power of the five
packing companies 'has been and is
being unfairly and illegally used,''
to:
Manipulate livestock markets.
Restrict interstate and information.
al supplies of food.
Control the prices of dressed meats
and other foods.
Defraud both the producers OF
food and consumers.
