Itation Of those handling dairy and louIlrS products. Fifth: The section regarding refrigerator cars is left in .fle new bill. but we are advised by senator kendrick that this section will Dc eliminated, and that an amendment 70 Inc railroad bill will provide Cor adequate refrigerator car service ter those making reasonable request, leaV Ing the packers undiSturbed as far as Hlelr refrigerator cars are concerned. me packers are not subject to fine CT penalty of any kind until they have had full opportunity to be heard in court The supreme court of the nlted States is the final arbiter. Thus fhe principal objections of the pack CTS, namely: Rule by an abitrary die tator and the license feature and the refrigerator car question, have all been met There has been considerable mis- apprehension regarding the certificates of registration. These apply only to those corporations, described in section 2b, who apply foi them, and may be Issued at the discretion of the commiS- sion.
 The time has come for you to de- term1ne your future policy regarding the most important feature of your work. This assoCIation for four years at least has been "a militant organi- zation, fighting for progress. demand ing that vicious and worn-out Sys- tenn be discarded and in its place be substituted a system in harmony with the times, sys-ern O. human fellow ship and equal opportunity. To your zeal and untiring efforts is due the great victory of the attorney gen eral. Without you there would have been no investigation by the federal trade commission, no facts on whicls the attorney general could have based his demands.
 You are facing the supreme crisis in your affairs. It is inconceivable at this turning point that you should not measure up to opportunity and make a half-won victory a complete vic tory. First, you ought to make clear to the attorney general and to the Country, the tremendous interest of the live stock producers in making his de- cree effective. You ought to offer your cooperation in working out it's terms The disposition of the stock yards is a most difficult problem. It demands immediate consideration and requires careful study. The responsibility is yours. Second, you ought, with re neWed Vigor, to continue the fight for legislation. You are most fortunate in having as your president leader in that fight who knows no turning back. He should have not only your moral support, but the advice and help of an active and well-informed market com nittee, who in turn should be provided with sufficient funds to make it's CO., opera tlOn effective.
