duction has been forwarded to the
District Food Administration by the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-

of an increase of 81 cents q gallon
for milk, to take effect October 1.

the reasons why milk producers
want more money for their product

turned to the city. and until he can
give his consideration to the report,
the attitude of the administration
toward the increase asked by the
producers who serve the dealers in
the District cannot be stated.
concerted effort probably will
be made to bring to the attention Of
the Federal Food Administrator the
increases asked by milk producers
and dealers. This Is the plan of
some of the organizations interested
in obtaining milk at reasonable
prices for consumers in the District.
Miss Estelle Wheeler, superin-
tendent of the Washington Diet Kit
chen Association. said today that
their efforts would probably take
this form.
"If it is true that members OF the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-

unwarranted increase for their milk,
you may rest assured that we will
fight it to the last ditch" she said
