Disincli1led to Talk.

Distributors today showed an indis-
position to talk pending the negotia- =
tions, but it was evident that they will
resist strenuously any efforts to make
them meet an increase OF II cents a
gallon. which would mean a retail price
OF not less than cents pint and 10
cents a quart.
Our margin of profit will be less If
we buy milk at 80 cents a gallon and
sell it at IA cents a quart than if we
paid 35 cents a gallon and sold it at IS
cents a quart" said one retailer today.
But we depend on the consumer for
our living, and We are not going to
make him pay any more than condi-
tions demand. AS for myself, l have
been losing money steadily since the
lst of last May, and there VIII have to
be some readjustment October l. But
do not believe the retailers will pay
the 35 cents a gallon demanded by the
producers, come what may"
