Federal Trade Commission
Recommends as at Present
Operated They Be De-
clared Monopoly.
BIG PACKERS NOW
OWN 90 PER CENT
Commissions Special Report
to President Reveals Some
Startling Facts Concern
ing Meat Distribution.

| Washington, Aug. 26.-Declaring thai
the step is necessary to control the
business of the five largest packing
companies. the federal trade commits
sion in a special report to President
Wilson recommends that operation OF
refrigerator cars and cars used for
transportation of meat animals be de-
clared a government monopoly. 1t
recommends further that the property
concerned, including icing stations and
other facilities as well as the cars, be
acquired by the government and rail-
roads thereafter be licensed to own
and operate them. The big packers, the
report says, now own 90 per cent. of
all the refrigerator equipment in the
country suitable for the transporta-
tion of fresh meat.
'The present country wide system
Of distribution by the five big packers
has grown up from their control of re-
frigerator car lines in conjunction with
various pools" the report says in part.
TN turn the volume of traffice of the
five packers has enabled them to Sc
cure from the railroads advantages
over competing shippers. Formerly in
the shape of direct rebates, these ad-
vantages are now usually in expedited
service to the big packer cars; in fav-
orable mixing rules which include all
their diversified products and eve1
many articles not related to the pack
ing industry; by allowances paid to
scme of the big packers by carriers for
a part of the transportation service;
by favorable arrangements and lease
of stock yards by the railroad to some
of the big packers; and by the sale
to the railroads of humping posts
of the big five.
The small independent packers cars
are misused and diverted. frequently
being out of his service for extended
periods. in several instances as long as
SIX months. In 1917. the cars of the
big five and their subsidiary compa-
nies maintained an average of sos
miles per car per day. while the aver
age for cars of their competitors. the
independent packing companies was
only 54.5 miles"
The commissions investigation of
the private car ownership has develop
ed the fact that while packers claim
losses. the report says. "a proper re-
vision of their car accounts" shows the
car operation has netted some profit
This amounted to 6.S per cent i'm 1912
3-4 per cent in 1914 and 4.3 per cent
In 1917.
'sThe prompt and efficient handling
of the traffic in meats and other per-
ishable foods is of great public con-
Germ" the report says in making the
recommendations. 'and it is also i'm
portant that all shippers should have
equal and adequate service The rec
concentrations are made TO correct
present inequalities of service and rates
as well as to prevent the dangers OF
monopolistic advantagess'

STRIKE VOTE|OUIET REICNSCENTENNIAL
TO BE TAKEN|AFTER RIOTINCCITY MAY NOT
BY SHOPMEN AT CHARLOTTE BE NAMED YET
Object of Action Will Be to
Determine Attitude of the
Workers Toward Presi-
dents Wage Proposals.

Washington, Aug. 2s. Railroad
shopmen throughout the country will
begin voting Immediately on whether
to accept the presidents wage pro-
posals or strike for their original de-
mands. If shopmen accede to the pres
ident's decision that there shall be no
general wage advance until the gov
ernment shows what is possible to
control high costs of living, it is prob
able that some time will elapse before
other unions will press their demands
for more money.
The committee of one hundred rep
resenting the railroad shopmen in
formed Director General Hines today
they could not accept as basis of
settlement of their demands the rates
submitted to them yesterday by Pres
ident Wilson.
Results of the negotiations were
communicated to the union locals
throughout the country with instruc-
tions for a strike vote to be taken
Immediately to ascertain if the presi-
dents proposals should be accepted.
Pending the result of the strike vote
the workmen were instructed to re-
main at work.
Director General Hines today re-
quested the board of railway wages
and working conditions to take up
promptly any claims that have been
made or may be made by railroad en-
ployes for readjustment that Ought
to be made in order to make sure that
equal treatment is done on the basis
of the general principles of wage ad-
justment which the railroad admins
tration has already established"
The decision announced yesterday
by which shopmen will receive an in
crease of 4 cents an hour was said to
have been one step in carrying out
this policy. a Though it has been
deemed contrary to the public interest
to make general increases in wage lev
els to meet present circumstances
which are believed to be temporary.
Mr.. Hines explained that the advance
to shopmen was to give them the full
benefit of the principle of ten hours
pay for eight hours work on which the
wages of other railroad employees are
computed.

Pensacola Boosters Are Pre-
pairing Strong Arguments
Before Commission at the
Meeting september 8.

The naming of the centennial city

from the two factions, the Jackson

who are working for centennial hon.

tire day and probably the greater part
CT the evening. This will leave little
time for consideration OF the claims
