To Our Dairymen Patrons
Referring to our announcement posted
at the plants of our Farm Products Division
on the 18th instant, we have been asked by
some of our patrons to clarity our position
in respect to two points:
l. We have been asked why we are unwilling to
deal with the Dairymen's League.
2. Will the diaries in any district be Disseminated
against in the manufacture of the surplus milk into but
ter or cheese?
We answer the first question as follows:
We have not, and will not, oppose the organization
of milk producers to protect their interests and promote
their welfare in any lawful manner they may devise,
may lawfully select. We have had no opportunity to
meet any such condition. We have been advised that the
ton as to whether it has any legal right to exist, and that
question is now the subject of a court inquiry: If the
why we should not deal with it. Aside from that que..
ton, however, we have been Influenced in our attitude
League have not acted in harmony, and the authority of
one faction to bind the League i denied by the other fac
dation of farmers, local trade.men and other. as prac-
ticed by some of the agents of the League, are methods
they supported by public sentiment. We would welcome
an opportunity of doing business with a { farmers organi-
minded men, who are willing to take into account selling
conditions so that the whole industry may be placed on
sound and lasting basis. With such an organization

price to be paid for milk in the various localities or coun-
ties to be determined by committees representing the
farmers in the diferent: localities acting with represen.
tatives of our plant: in those localities. If the Dairy
mems League is willing to abandon so much of its pres.
ent methods as are not in accord with the law, public
sentiment and reasonable business practices, we see no
reason why it could not be the fundamentally through
which the dairymen might work with us in bringing
about the plan we have briefly touched upon, and we be.
lieve to the mutual satisfaction of all. And could be put
into operation in time to consider the prices for January
and subsequent months, and as a substitute for the arbi-
tration plan proposed for those months.
In expressing the foregoing views we have no in.
tention of debating to the producer how he shall organ
ize, the methods he adopts, or who will represent him.
On the other hand we expect him to recognize our right
to decline to sanction unlawful methods or to deal with
individuals whose attitude offers no hope for continuing
satisfactory relations.
Our answer to the second inquiry is as
follows:
In paying for surplus milk on the basis already an.
nounced, it is our intention to discriminate against no
one and against no district. but to pro rate the "surplus
milk prices over the whole supply purchased for the
Farm Products Division.
