Reasons Given for Pro-

Tho milk Gealers Of Washington will
meet tomorrow night to take up the
question of ar advance in the retail
price Of milk in the District OF Column
bia- following the recent action of the
Milk Producers Association in raising
the wholesale price cents a gallon.
The dealers will meet at So Ninth
street at 7:S0 o clock and the meeting
will probably be attended by many rep
resentative milk dealers of the city. As
published IA The Times, II Is confidently
expected by those who are in touch
with the situation that the price Of milk
will advance 2 cents per quart Novem-
Der 1. and II IS practically assured that
the dealers Will take such action by a
strong vote.
Executive Session.
The session OF tho MIX Dealers Asp
citation will probably be private. but it is
stated by an officer OF the association
today that its deliberations will be made
public later.
There IS nothing inconsistent in the
proposed increase OF ? cents per quart
in the retail price OF milk" said a
large dealer today Il see the argument
advanced that because the producers
have or will increase the cost butt cent
TO the dealers, a cent Increase should
prevail all along the line. This argu-
thought will prove.
Eight Cents Twenty Years.
"For twenty years now, according TO
my memory and understanding. the re-
laii price OF milk in washington has re-
manned at cents per quart Name
some other commodity that has shown
no increase. Dealers have made but
little money for two years past as labor
and feed and other accessories have
Jumped skyward. The farmer is paying
just twice as much for corn and hay
and cats and for COW food as he did
some years ago. An increase in the
price OF his milk IS natural
But the public expects the dealer
not to be affected by these things He
forgets that 1t costs me double the
amount 20 run my eight teams as il
formerly did. Labor is higher. feed is
higher, wagons and horses are higher,
and our living expenses are increasing.
too.
Another Expense.
Years ago we delivered milk by
pouring It in bucket or can the con-
sUmer left on the back-door stoop. Now,
we use glass bottles. and we must have
men to clean them. IN addition we
break and lose several thousand each
year Yet milk has remained at cents.
An increase is bound to come. The
dealer cannot help It II he desires to
