men should be directed to pay no
more than these agreed ceilings

The packers and commission men
can be protected against gluts by
the government purchasing.
9. The packers should be given
an overriding "mark-up" over
their cost of animals to cover their
costs and a proper profit.

wholesale dealers should be given
their usual trade commissions for
'rnark-up'' over prices paid by
them.

probably be averaged over one

ers and the legitimate trades.
They have the know how" Hoover
said. 1.-The trades do not want black
markets.
To bring this about they should
be asked to create from their
own organizations:
A. A national war committee of
livestock growers; B. A national
war committee of packers; C.. A
national war committee of commits

There should be assurance given
to these committees that so long
as they follow the directions of the
secretary Of agriculture they will
be immune from prosecution I'M
der the antitrust laws. For in
stance, by combined action they
can secure distribution which will
stop local fanines.''
6. If not already done, all of
the legitimate packers, commits
sion men, and retailers should be
licensed and be required under that
license to deal only with other IL
censed dealers and to carry out
certain other policies. The railroads
and trucking concerns should be
required to transport these pro-
ducts only for licensed professors
and dealers.
7. "The Secretary of Agriculture
by agreement with the livestock
war committee should set ceiling
and floor prices, with some toler-
ances, upon various grades of cat
tie, hogs, poultry, eggs and dairy
products to be paid to the farmers
at the nearest point to production.
That is, for instance, for hogs,
