The recommendation was embodied

within the last few years the alb
sorption Of independent bakers and
milk distributors by gigantic. nation
wide corporations, holding companies,
mergers, and chain enterprises, has
been carried forward with amazing
rapidity," the report said.
THE committee recommends the

Recommend Legislation
III existing laws are not sufficient
to control these mergers and COM

agencies above named should recon-

Among other findings were:
l. That the retail price Of bread
has not declined proportionately with
the price OF wheat.
2. That there should be an immed-
late reduction Of at least one cent q

4. That the wholesale and retail
prices Of white flour have generally
reflected the decline In the price Of
wheat.
S. That the lower prices paid to
the farmers for milk purchased for
fluid purposes have In general been
reflected in the retail prices charged
to the consumer, but that the distri-
butor has not borne any portion Of
the reduction.
