violation OF the act. The President Is
also authorized TO promulgate regula-
tions governing licenses. One OF these

charge for feeding live stock
The Secretary. after hearing,
found that the licensees were charg-
ing shippers for feed purchased for,

tribution among the shippers OF the
fund which had accumulated in the
