GIANT MILK POOL
WINS DAIRY LEAGUE
Dairymen Vote for Price FiXing-Af-
fects 10000 Farmers Sup
plying New York

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-two thousand
delegates from six states, representing
/ .143 branches of the Dairymen's League.
Inc. voted last night after a bitter meet
ing in Jersey City to scrap the old organ
izatiOn and throw their entire support to
the Dairymen's League Cooperative As
ISOLATION. Inc.
The decision was a victory for the
"pOOlerS," who nave claimed for more
than year that the practice of pool
ing milk and allowing board of di-
rectorS to set the price at which it
which the farmers could get an equitable
price for their product.
The new policy. affecting $4,000
farmers, marks one of the largest at
tempts at cooperative marketing ever
undertaken in this country The farmer
delegates represented branches in New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Con-
necticut. Vermont and Massachusetts.
They are the ones who furnish milk to
the city and state of New York.
Half of the dairymen in the area which
furnishes milk to this city have been
pooling their milk for more than
year. That is, they have paid all the
purchase price into common fund and
distributed it On an equal basis. The
"non-pOolers" disapproyed of this policy,
arguing that it was unfair to dairymen
who gave all their time and money to
producing milk TO get no more than those
who merely produce milk incidentally, or
as Il side line 1t was further argued in
opposition that pooling" gave the di-
rectors great arbitrary powers in fixing
prices
All of the "a directors elected for the
coming year are known as outspoken
''poolers,' Indicating that the new league
will have solid backing. The old contracts
under which milk has been sold will be
terminated by next April.
