WASHINGTON, Aug. Showing to
break the power Of the so-called
packers trust" the federal trade
commission has recommended to
President Wilson that the railroad
administration be given a monopoly
in the transportation and distribution
of meats.
The report Of the commission. made
public by President Wilson today.
urges that the far-reachtng packer In
f1uence on American business can be
emasculated by transferring from the
packers to the railroad admintstra-
ton the following:
All stock yards in the country; all
so called branch houses, storage
houses and warehouses Of the pack
ers used in the distribution Of meats;
all stock cars and refrigerator cars
now owned by the packers and all
icing plants located along the rail-
roads throughout the country.
This would leave the packers the
lone business of slaughtering and
skinning. Through control of trans
porta ton, storage and distributing
facilities, the railroad administration
would break the alleged prtortties the
packers trust" grants its members
now in all phases OF the business. In.
cidentally the control of refrigerator
cars constitutes a side sw1pe at the
California Gamers trust.

report to the president-made at bis
