ALL MILK PRICES

Food Administrator Calls
HaSty Conference and Re-
stores Situation.

The price Of Is cents a quart for
milk, recently fixed by Charles Ar
thur Carlisle, county food admins
traitor, was rescinded and the milk
situation restored as it existed prior
10 the recent price fixing meeting,
il was announced Wednesday noon
by Carlisle.
This action was taken at hastily
called conference Of the food admin
istrator with some OF the milk pro-
ducers and distributors. What fu-
ture action will be taken looking to-
ward the fixing of a price was not
indicated, although it was made
clear that the food administrator
will not take the initiative in raising
the price nor will that official again
attempt to maintain the fixed price
with threats Of fines
The meeting Wednesday followed
the positive statement by State Food
Administrator Harry r. Barnard
declaring that Carlisle had clearly
exceeded his authority in attempt
ing to maintain any minimum price
on milk or any other commodity, the
statement which was printed in The
News-Times Of Tuesday evening
Thinks is Cents Reasonable.
Earlier in the day Carlisle had is
sued a statement in which he de-
clared that Is cents would be a rea-
sonable price per quart for milk and
indicated that under certain cir
cumstances even 20 cents might be
charged with fairness.
The food administrator in this
statement reiterated his plea for
cooperation" in raising the quality
of milk rather than reducing the
price.
The closeness with which the fed
eral food administration watches at
tempts at profteering and seeks TO
safeguard the consumer against eN-
cessive prices. in marked contrast
with the recent rulings of the coUn-
~ administrator. is revealed in the
information made public by State
Administrator Barnard in which he
declares the soaring price of butter
is TO be probed.
Probe Butter Prices.
