Trust-Want Uniform Scale of
Prices.

a meeting of a number of the milk
producers of Utah who furnish milk for
consumption in Salt Lake was held in

of the Cottonwood district-the McMil-
lans are associated with Mr. Moss; A.
Nj. Holloway and \. L. SmOOt of Lake
View and ]. H. Swartz and the Corn
well brothers of Salt Lake county. The
discussion was informal and covered
the situation fully. The decision was
beneficial to producers and dealers
alike. Cooperation was the object
sought, but all disclaim any intention OF
forming a trust.
This meeting was the first definite
move in the matter. 1t will be followed
up by others AL all interested antici
pate much ben-it from the Corpora
ton. No officers were elected yesterday
and no date fixed for another meeting.
but it was understood that another
meeting would soon be called by George

leading spirit in the movement.
Nothing would be given out as to
whether or not a scale of prices was
agreed upon by those present at this
meeting.
