The greater city is threatened with
another milk strike"
The producers have fixed a price to
the distributors Of $4.01 per 100 pounds
Of 3 per cent. milk in the country for
January, ana the distributors refuse to
pay II.
The distributors have offered to pay
$3.50, a reduction OF 1 cent per quart
10 the producers and the Dairymens
League. the organization of $4,000
farmers, stands pat on its fixed price
Unless the producers receive the
fague price, officials of the league
say the milk will not be sold. If 1t Is
not sold the great volume Of milk con-
trolled by league members will not
come to the city and serious milk
shortage will result.
Say League is Jmperilled.
The league sent out last night an
oficial bulletin to its branches declaring
that the fight ia on and urging MEM
bers mot to resort to violence"
The league officials profess to see
in the stand taken by the distributors
what they call an organized effort to
break up the farmers organization.
The distributes resent the fact thai
the last Legislature passed a law eX-
empting all dairy and agricultural as
sociations from the operation OF the
Ilponnelly antitrust act. which prohibits
Combinations In restraint of trade. and
also from prosecution for violations Of
,the penal code. They fought the pas
sage of the law. but couldn't make
any impression on the legislators who
were backing Me farmers.
Farmers also say they see in the
challenge of the distributors an effort
to secure legislation that will repeal this
law and put the Dairymens League on
athe same basis with the New Lork
Ipink Conference =. Board. composed of
Representatives Of the distributing con-
Germs and milk manufacturers.
The milk dealers made their first pub
lie move in resisting the League and
It's right to fix the producers price
for milk when a committee waited
upon Mayor Hylan at the City Hall
Yesterday and made known to him the
details of their plan to refuse to pay
the farmers the price OF Si.01 per 100
rounds demanded and to continue their
offer OF $3.50
The committee told the Mayor that
the distributors would give consumers
the entire benefit of the reduction.
which would be equivalent to one cent
quart. Mayor Hylan approved OF
their plan and told them TO go to 1t,
or words to that effect. The committee
