League Position Defined
statement issued by the Dairy
mems League last night said meetings
Of 1,101 local league branches would
be held late this week at which the
milk situation will be discussed. The
farmers in all sections of the league
territory report they cannot afford to
take less than 1888 100 pounds of 3
per cent milk, or at the rate of cents
a quart.
r. D. Cooper. president of the
league, said last night: "The farme RS
are asking 1888 per 100 pounds for 3
per cent milk. Feed and labor charges
have increased. Unless farmers re-
will be forced out of business. 1t is
this phase of the situation that vitality
interests consumers. If the future
milk supply falls below the require
ments of a growing population, the
public will suffer. Milk producers and
consumers of milk alike are interes tied
in the production and preservation OF
the milk industry"
At the joint conference at the league
headquarters yesterday morning John
D. Miller, vice-presdent and general
counsel Of the league, said to the COM
mittee from the Milk Conference
Board:
"The time is growing late. The
month is nearly ended. The present
contract expires with this month. 1t
becomes necessary to have a price de-
termned. We now therefore inform
you that the league price for June milk
is $2.83 100 pounds for per cent
milk at the 200 to 210 mile freight
zone with the usual freight and butter
fat ditferentials. The time for discus
sion as to the June price is past. It
now remains only to make such price
effective.
eve submit that the duty that both
organizations owe to the public is to
see that there be an uninterrupted
supply Of milk to the cities at a price
as low as is consistent with costs of
production and distribution, and that
no conflict between the organizations
should prevent the performance of a
plain duty"
