Of the directors Of the New England
Milk Producers association at the Of
flee here to-day proposition OF H. p.
Hood & Sons, the largest Boston milk
contracting firm. to accept the de-
mands Of the association on August
was granted. This means there will
be no Withholding Of milk shipments
by producers next Monday as had been
feared. The concession means furth-
err that there will be a distinct change
in the buying system and that spirit
of harmony and cooperation will pre-
vail, which is bound to work to the
advantage Of the association In the
campaign for better milk and the
establishment Of public confidence.
Negotiations are in progress with the
other Boston dealers and they are ex-
pected to fall into line.
The price demand Of the association
was for cents per quart (. o. b. Bos-
ton. This was granted.
Secretary Richard Pattee Of the associa-
ton stated this evening that the situation
marked a definite forward step in the
effort to improve conditions in the dairy
industry Of New England.
THE acceptance OF the new price sched-
ule," he said, ''means that eventually
there will be established throughout New
England. and particularly the larger cities
like Boston. Providence, Worcester and
Springfield. uniform price for the pro-
ducers of milk. This will draw milk to its
nearest market and insure advantages
to producers and consumers alike. The
new arrangement will lead to a system of
selling milk on a quality basis. The slo-
gan Of the association. Better price for
better milk will mean as much to the
consumer as to the producer. The policy
Of the dealers in negotiating with the as
citation for a supply will enable the assocta-
ton to carry on important cooperative
plans for reducing cost in production and
other reforms in New England's greatest
industry which can be effected only
through the tremendous pressure Of
