8-CENT MILK FOR
OCTOBER IS SURE
Distributors Lay the Blame on the
Producers Who Want A
Cents Gallon.

Washington must pay Is cents a
quart for milk during October, al
least. 1t was admitted last night by
DR.. William c. Fowler, District
health officer. following a confer
cree with distributors, at which
was brought out the impossibility
of a lower price unless producers
ask less than ~ cents a gallon.
Distributors who attended the
conference last night placed all
blame for high prices on the pro-
ducers. who steadfastly adhere 10
their plan Of boosting the price
from 80 and 80 cents to A cents a
gallon.
Distributors significantly pointed
to the fact. however. that inside OF
month or SIX weeks conditions
will improve and that there win be
a larger production. At this time
II was asserted. the Distributors
will havs the situation under con.
troll and prices will drop by neces-
sity to a much lower figure, per-
haps below IL cents. DR.. Fowler ID
confident tnat this condition will
occur by November.
DR.. Fowler. who has not given ur
the hght to lower prices Immediately
win make last effort to get the pro.
ducers to drop to what he considers a
reasonable figure. He will confer
with officials OF the executive COM
mittee of the Maryland-Vifginia Milk
Producers Association probably to-
day or tomorrow. Action must be
taken before Wednesday. October 1,
when the new prices go into effect.
I DR.. Fowler will endeavor 10 arrange
a compromise between the producers
and distributors at this time, although
efforts along this line have invariably
been unayailing.
