 DISC JsS MILK PRICES
 GLOBE-Dairymen who are supply ing milk to Globe and vicinity unite in the assertion that enforcement of the recent order of the local office of the department of justice reducing the re- tail price of the product from 20 to IS cents a quart will force them out of business, thus necessitating the i'm portation of the local supply from the upper Gila valley district at an ex- pense higher than the existing price.
 The dairymen further declare the ob- taining price affords them practically no profit. They point out that. preced- ing the war, they were able to realize a profit at the price of 10 cents then charged, when alfalfa was selling at s7 to $S a ton. However, the cost of hay, delivered. now costs five times as much, they say, whereas th. price of milk has only been doubled. They firmly deny the correctness of re- port they were planning on increasing the price of milk here to 25 cents a quart.
 The dairymen say they received let ters Sunday directing them to put into effect the IS cent rate yesterday. Since many milk tickets, sold at the 20 cent rate, were outstanding. they said com pliance would have entailed much diff ficultv.-Record.
