Says Laws Are Violated.

These excessive prices and profits
We're apparently being artiacially
maintained by combinations and un-
derstandings in violation of the Sher-
man and Clayton antitrust laws.
"A huge merger or series of merg-
ers of baking corporations were then
in process of formation with the pur-
pose of creating colossal nationwide
bread trust
Several commissioners some time
ago expressed doubt that they had
authority under the last appropriation
act to make such inquiries when not
requested by both chambers of Con-
gress or when not aimed clearly at
determining law. violations. Some
members also held that the investiga-
ton called for in the bread resolution
was solely economic in character, since
it made no specific charges of anti
trust law violation.

the Anacostia area.
The association is TO ask for water
mains to the District line along Ala

for larger service main across the
