cently and conferring, while at

Cattle and Horso Kaisers associa

being hoped for by shippers of tho

at Baker, Mr. Geary gave, tho fol
lowing information nnd opinion:
"Tho final decision in tho live

was - initiated by tho commission
under tho Hoch-Smlth resolution."

livestock shippers of tho Mountain

tho investigation initiated under
the Hoch Smith resolution is a
boomerang. Instead of resulting tu
lower rates it is quite possible to
result in substantially Increased
