"Open price associations" which
operate within the law to keep the r

modities tnn come bacK to normal.

"It should bo said," tho report
concluded, "that following tho dis
ordered condition of tho world's af

ho tho more quickly restored If thn
producer, the laborer, tho manu
facturer, tho Jobber, und the retailer,

effort by any element to place Us
sharo of the common loss on the
shoulders of others, and particularly
of tho consumer, can but result In
a continuation of the conditions un
der which tho country Is now Buffer

modities to the consumer has not
broadly speaking, been reduced In
proper proportion to tho decline In
agricultural and other raw materials,
I he committee sets forth Us belief

back In increasing production, which
would reduce the production cost
and relievo to somo extent tho check
upon the manufacturer and by In
creasing the demand for raw materi
als would react upon the producer.
Thn report also makes note of the
Influence of torelgn combinations of
capital In determining the price of

I adds that among domestic combina
tions ono of the newest and most
widespread agencies for affecting
