3 1 6 BIBLIOGRAPHY 



Industrial Commission. Report. Washington, 1900-02. 19 vols. Deals 

 mainly with a later period; but parts of the report throw light also on 

 the earlier conditions in agriculture, transportation, and the grain eleva- 

 tor business. 



STATE 



The official publications of the several states are listed in Richard R. 

 Bowker, State Publications (New York, 1899-1908. i vol. in 4 parts), and 

 it will be unnecessary to do more here than to indicate the classes of docu- 

 ments in which material on the subject is found. The Index of Economic 

 Material in the Documents of the States, now being published by the Carnegie 

 Institution is useful in locating material in the Journals and Collected Docu- 

 ments. Volumes are out for Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu- 

 setts, Rhode Island, New York, Delaware, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, and 

 California. 



Senate and House or Assembly Journals. The official sources for the legis- 

 lative history of the Granger laws. They frequently contain also the 

 ,messages of the governors and reports of committees which deal with the 

 railroad question. 



Collected Documents. Under various titles, as Reports, Executive documents, 

 Legislative documents, etc., each state publishes a set of collected docu- 

 ments. They contain reports of committees, governors' messages, 

 and special communications on the railroad question. 



Session Laws. Under various titles, as Laws, Public Laws, General Laws, 

 etc., each state publishes the acts of a general nature enacted at each 

 session of the legislature. These are, therefore, the official sources for 

 the Granger laws. 



Revised Statutes. Some of the Granger acts can be found in the various 

 compilations or codes of laws published by the states from time to time. 

 The Revised Statutes of Illinois for 1874 contain the Illinois railroad law 

 of 1873 which was omitted from the Public Laws of that year. These 

 railroad laws can sometimes be found in the reports of railroad com- 

 missions or in special collections. 



Supreme Court Reports. Those of Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin 

 contain decisions of Granger cases. 



State Railroad Commissions. Reports. These are the most valuable 

 sources for the workings of the Granger railroad laws and the litigation 

 over them. The most pertinent are: Illinois, 1871 + ; Wisconsin, 

 1874 + ; Minnesota, 1871 + ; Iowa, 1878 + ; Missouri, 1875 + ; Cali- 

 fornia, 1878 + ; Michigan, 1872 + ; Massachusetts, 1870+. 



State Boards of Agriculture or Agricultural Societies. Proceedings, Trans- 

 actions, or Reports. These frequently contain material which throws 

 light upon the agricultural situation. In some cases, as Wisconsin, they 

 contain proceedings of agricultural conventions. 



State Labor Bureaus. Reports. Occasionally contain material on the 

 cooperative phase of the Granger movement. Some of this is listed 

 below under " Cooperation."
