Washington, May 16.-Preliminary
steps have been taken at the Baptist
anniversaries In session here today
for the organization Of Baptist
unioa, Or general council. Tomorrow
a committee on organization will re-
port, and Prot Shaler Matthews Of
Chicago, will address the meeting on
the functions of the proposed organ
lzation. Final action is then to be
taken, and it Is freely predicted that
then, for the first time In their his
tory, the Baptist churches Of the
north will be united In an organiza-
ton through which matters Of gen.
eral Baptist interest may be consid-

nation on great moral and public
questions be expressed.
But little opposition has developed
to the plan Of organization. notwith-
standing the tact that a similar
movement some years ago met with
such opposition that nothing came OF
1t. The new council or union In not
to be Legislative, but like the Congre-

CHEESEY EXPLANATION BLAMES POOR
FARMER FOR HIGH PRICE OF BUTTER

On July 20 the last jump in the price
OF butter occurred il being boosted
from % TO 80 cents a pound wholesale
This price is. of course cents less than
the retail price. the retailers accepting
the 5-eent margin as their profit. This
is the usual scale of difference between
the prices of wholesaler and retailer.
Following is a table of the change of
prices in butter in Salt Lake. wholesale
price. since May 1, 1907:
May I, % cents pound.
May 8. 20 cents pound.
June 3. u cents pound.
June l., % cents pound.
July L % cents pound
July 26, 80 cents pound.
From May to July the retail price
of butter was % cents a pound. Then
came the raise TO 80 cents and then to
30 cents where it now is
That the Elgin company controls the
price OF butter as well as other dairy
products there is no dispute. There
are but few dealers in Salt Lake who
do not receive their supplies from this
company. The explanation given for
this sudden advance by the represent
atives of the company is that the farm
ers and those from whom the cream is
secured forced the increase. refusing
20 supply the demand at the old prices.
Ascrbed to Cheese.
The reason for this attitude on the
part of the farmers is the high price
being received for cheese. it being
deemed advisable by many to use the
cream in the manufacture of cheese
rather than give it to the butter sup
ply. The general advance in prices of
food products is also ascribed as an
other cause for the increase.
I'VE were forced to raise the price, -
said Manager Parker of the Elgin COM
pany yesterday. I'VE were not able to
get an adequate supply of butter or
cream from the farmers. and in order
to keep up with the demand for cream
cry butter we were forced to offer a
higher price for cream i'm order to get
it. That meant, of course, that the
price of butter would go up. 1t will
probably remain where it is for some
time | do not think that il viii have
dropped any by the time the winter
season sets in: There may be another
increase in price about that, time. due
to the conditions that occur every win
ter and carry the price of butter up.
For some time We We're unable to
get cream at any price. The price of
hay has gone up, and many farmers
simply stopped furnishing cream.
Others thought the cheese making
more profitable That caused the ad-
vance. Even now, with the wholesale
price at 90 cents. we find it hard to
get sufficient supply to fill the de-
mand."
; Two retail places on Market row
were selling creamery butter yester-
day at so cents the mound.

The present price OF butter which
the housewives of Salt Lake are being
forced TO pay will take a decided in
crease before the winter months set
in. At present the household necessity
costs 30 cents pound, 10 cents more
than il did at this time last year. The
summer months are supposed to record
the low price for butter and according
to the wholesalers and retailers this
year viii prove no exception. An in
crease of from 10 to 10 cents in price
from the summer to winter season is
considered usual, therefore when Win
ter sets in the price of butter will be
close to 80 cents a pound.
Retailers place the blame for the in
crease in price to the creamery trust,
saying that conditions are normal and
that there is no special reason for the
arbitrary advance The explanation OF
the trust is that the farmers and dali
rymen have forced the advance by re-
fusing to furnish cream at the former
pri e, ami hat in Order to supply the
demand for creamery. butter the in
crease in price was absolutely neces-
sary. 1t is further alleged the farmers
are diverting their cream TO the manu-
facture If cheese.
Salt Lake Suffers Most.
Creamery products have taken de-
cided increase all over the country
this year. but Salt Lake seems to have
been given more than its share of the
burden 20 shoulder. Both the Chicago
and California markets show prices in
advance of 1906. but they are much
smaller N proportion to the advance
made in Salt Lake during the CORE
spending period.
The Chicago advance from Aug. l,
1906, to Aug.\1. 1907. is about cents.
The California market shows an ad-
vance of about cents. Salt Lakers
are now paying 10 cents a pound more
for creamery butter than they We're
paying year ago. The retailers have
given as their exclamation for the adj
vance in price that they have been
forced 30 accept the prices OF the
creamery trust.
III Utah and Idaho the control of the
creamery produce trade rests largely
with the Elgin Dairy Creamery & Sup
ply company. This company controls
pra ctically the entire output of the
creamerieS- and diaries of the state,
and ;ts prices are set as the standard.
