The Times called the attention OF
the public and the state and federal
authorities to the fact that the milk
supply OF northwestern Indiana was
being kept off the Chicago market by
the IfFoducers' company which con-
troIs the supply Of three states. The

vealed the amazing crime of the de-
struction Of the milk which was pour
ed into the sewer after the butter fat
had been removed.
The Milk Producers Cooperative
Marketing Company took the attitude
that the skinned milk was worth
less
