MORE MILK COMES,
BUT WAR KEEPS ON
Governors Commission Fails
to Break Deadlock and
Gets a Warning.

The city = receipts OF milk again went
90 quarts. or an increase of 42.o27
quarts over Tuesday. This was the
largest supply received on any one day
since the big milk fuss started The
fact that the distributors are getting
a supply nearer the normal mark means
absolutely nothing in the lives Of the
officials Of the pairymen's League, who
insist that their members will not com.
down one cent in their price for jan
uary. They must have the costs of pro-
duction for January, they say. or the
league members cannot sell. This situa-
ton. tho Milk Conference Board says.
means that distributors must continue
bringing In the surplus milk OF other
cities to prevent a serious shortage, as
they will not pay the leagues January
price.
Gov. Smiths milk commission. of
which Robert T. bowling is chairman,
met as usual at 1GJ broadway yestcr
