HINT AT PROSECUTION
TO PREVENT MOVE

The price of milk, Wholesale. will he
6 cents a quart, beginning December 1.
This was decided ON at meeting of the
Milk Producers Association Saturday
afternoon in the Irish American Hall,
after lengthy debate. This is the second
advance within a month. the last adj
vance in the Wholesale price being from
cents to ) - cents quart As a
result of this advance in the wholesale
price. il is likely there will now he a
definite advance of the retail price to 10
cents a quart.
The action taken by the producers
in raising the price Of milk was pass
ed by only one vote, and in the ma
iority of cases it was the Younger
men who voted for the raise and the
older men who counselled that the
milk should be sold at the same price
it has been sold during the present
month. John F. O'Neal vice-presi-
dent of the association and chairman
of the meeting. said he did not think
that they would be able to sell their
milk at the advanced prices. Mr.
O'Neal also resigned as chairman of
the committee which had to do with
the selling of the farmers products,
should the price be raised
According to Charles Burris, sec
rotary OF the Retail Milk Dealers
Association. this advance by the farm
ers would not actually necessitate the
raising of the price Of quart OF milk
to ten cents. but il was possible that
if the producers sustained their ac-
ton Wilmington consumers would
have to pay dime According to a
statement he made, he feels that the
farmers were a little too high-handed
in the whole affair and he said that il
the worst came to the worst they (the
retailers) could invoke the Sherman
antitrust law. He told how he had
made and kept his contracts with
farmers for their milk when there
was plenty OF il, although he had lost
money by doing so. and then related
how when the milk was scarce. as il
is at present. the farmers mad not
