MILK DEALERS FEAR
BLOW TO INDUSTRY
Oppose D%airymen's League
Plan to Have N. Y. State
Distribute Product.
CONSUMER TO PAY MORE
II. n. HallOck Of Borden Com.
pany Says Present System
Is Economical.

Public announcement OF the plan OF
the Dairymen's League to make the
State a selling agent for milk In the
event that big New York milk concerns
persist in their refusal to pay the farm
ers . higher price occas oned much d
verse comment among the dealers yes
terday.
Henry n. Hailock. vice-president of
Borden's Condensed Milk Company, ex-
pressed the belief that the project would
disrupt and disorganiss present highly
ehicient methods Of distribution. and in
stead Of proving . service to the public
would result in . decrease Of efficiency.
and possibly in further increased cost
to the consumer.
II am not acquainted with the details
Of the plan adopted by the Dairymen's
League In Albany yesterday said MIR.
Hallock. but I am convinced that any
interruption Of the present system OF
distribution would be a serious thing.
and II quite certainly would mean an in
tcrruption II the project is carried gu,
to have the milk sold through the State
Commissioner Of Foods and Markets.
II am not speaking for the Borden
company alone when I say that the
present methods OF distribution have
been built up n improved over a Ions
period OF years. We have an intimate
acquaintance with the wants and re.
Quirements OF our thousands Of custom
ers. and we feel that we distribute the
milk more economically than any o,he,
agency possibly could.
Any attempt TO supplant the presen,
system with some other radically dif.
ferent. I think. would have at least tho
temporary erec; OF bringing a sort OF
chaos into the industry and I doubt IL Il
finally would result In any economies oi
any substantial benefits.
II do not say that the present system
may not gradually be improved. 1t /,
being mad more efficient from yea,
20 year. But the improvement. in m,
opinion. nno come through the sub,
stitution OF totally d!ssimiiar methods
but rather through the perfection OF tn.
present Methods
Mr.. Hallock added that he was not op
posed to a brief trial OF the proposed plai
Of distribution through the Commissions
% Food. ard Markets. Ger nc though:
he said. that II the public could b'
served more eficiently and satisfactory,
In this way h a through the established
milk concerns the new way should b,
adopted. lie said his company was sup
plying milk to the public at a profit mar
gin Of only two and six-tenths mills
quart.
Mrs. Julian Heath. head Of the House,
wives League. was Interested in the new
plan of distribution devised at the meet
ing OF dairymen Monday in Albany anC
thought It might prove the solution OF
the two evils. high prices to the con
sumner and low prices to the producer.
John J. Dillon. Commissioner Of Foods
and Markets. at whose suggestion IN,
plan was adopted. had not returned yes,
terday from Albany. Joseph Hartigan

The increasing severity OF the cases
