mes to point west of Montddier. The
Paris communique may indicate that
additional British forces have been
thrown into the line here--enough to
prepondelate over the French. The
fact that the Americans were not men
toned in this attack or in previous ad
vances around Montdidier may mean
that they have been drawn out of the
line to participate in the Marine fight
ing. Further allied success in Flanders
was reported by Field Marshal Hag
last night.
He announced that British troops ad-
vanced their lines more than half a
mile on a five mile front between the
Clarence and the Lave rivers.

MOVING TO BREAK
HOLDOF ALLEGED
PACKERS TRUST
Would Take Control OF Stock
yards Storage and Ware
houses.
ALSO REFRIGERATOR
CARS and ice PLANTS
Commission Says Trust Con
trolls Industry And Many
Unrelated Ones.
B BY Robert j. Bender.

(Unlted Press starr correspondent
Washington, Aug. SHOWING to break
the power of the eo-called "paekers
trust" the federal trade commission has
recommended to President Wilson that
the rail administration be given a mo-
nopoly in transportation and distribu-
tion of meats.
The report Of the commission made
public by President Wilson today, urges
that the far reaching packers influence
on American business can be emaseulat-
ed by transferring from the packers to
the railroad administration the follow
ing:
Il stock yards in the country; all So
called branch houses, storage, houses and
warehouses of the packers, used in the
refrigerator cars now owned by the pack
Refrigerator ears now owned by the pack
ers and all icing plants located along
the railroads throughout the country.
This would leave the packers the lone
business Of slaughtering and skinning.
Through control of the transportation,
storage and distributing facilities, the
railroad administration would break the
alleged priorities the packers ttrust =
grants its members now in all phases of
the business. Incidentally the control
Of refrigerator cars constitutes side
swipe at the California Gamers
Crust.
The federal trade commission in its
report to the president" made at his
written request last year, leaves it
up to congress to pass the necessary
legislation which will enable the rail.
road administration to take over the
packers facilities.
The commission charges in its report
that the five great packing concerns in
this country-Swift, Armour. Morris.
Cudahy, and Wilson--"have attained
such dominant position that tney con
troll at will the market in which they
buy their supplies, the market in which
they sell their products and hold the
fortunes of their competitors in their
hands. -
To break this power, the commission
chose what it regarded as a simple and
non-speetacular remedy. It holds that
since cattle cars are a necessary part of
the equipment of railroad, sucn cars
should be under federal ownership and
operation and available to all alike
1t holds that stock yard is nothing
more than depot for cattle the same
as a passenger or freight depot for pco-
pie and there fore should be a part of
the railroad facilities, subject to the use
of all alike.
Declaring that the ownership BY tic
five great packing interests of refriger-
ator cars furnishes one of the most
powerful means for control, manipula-
tion and restraint" the commission re-
commends that these cars be taken over
by the railroad administration.
Like All Other Freight.

Like All other Freight.

Branch houses, cold storage houses and

Having acquired these facilities, the
