Before going ahead with some of the
facts about the relations between the
producers and milk dealers, l feel that
some talk on profits and salaries will
serve to give some light on the remarks
made during the course of the investi-
cation and which have apparently made
a choice morsel of news. ., ...
To begin with, the amount of the
profit shown, when figured at the end
Of the year, is but fraction of a
cent per quart of milk and it is the
volume of business handled that pro-
duces the large amount of profit. We
quote herewith an extract from an edi-
torial on the milk Situation" in The
Washington Post of Saturday last
Speaking of the profits and salaries
revealed, it says:
Now, no one can in reason cavil at
these results, if they are reached by
the evidence so far adduced tends to
and that it is the size of the turnover
words, these firms have done what
every business man is trying to do,
namely, build up wide connection and
a consequent large output, and there is
no denying that this is a perfectly
sound and legitimate policy"
The public should consider that I sell
milk at cent per quart less than other
dealers. How is this? I sell only one
grade of milk and that is good grade
which deliver to homes (since Novem-
Der 1st) at 14c per quart. You can buy
Simpsons milk at practically all grocers
for 13c per quart. The bulk of my
business is wholesale and for this milk
1 do not receive more than 12c per
quart. l have every reason to believe
that my business is run more economi-
cally and with as little waste as any
like business of its size in the city. This
means reduced overhead expense per
quart, therefore l can sell cheaper.
The amount of profit for year will
look large when standing alone, but
when placed beside the number of
quarts of milk handled and the mag
nitude of the equipment involved it
will be seen that the margin is indeed
small Of course, increase of business
will mean increased percentage of
profit with the same overhead, but this
is true up to a certain point only. Be
yond this point, increased expenditure

Deposition in Craham-Humes
Case Describes Heart Con-
quests of Young Plaintiff. :

The bitter feud in the Portner
family over the will of Paul B.
Portner, who left an estate of more
than $1,500,000 may be renewed
n the District Supreme Court next
Monday with the opening of the
100000 alienation suit brought
against Augustus L. Humes, Of
New York, by Lorimer C. Graham,
of Washington, who is now lieu
tenant in the navy.
Case Is Postponed.
Due to another case being tried
today in Justice Stafford's court, the
Graham-Humes case was put over
until next Monday. at which time, 1t
was stated, the trial would start.
The Portner family quarrel reached
8 climax on June s, 1920. when Con-

Congressman Flood then declared
that "no one but a hound would

taliated by striking Barbour oven

brother in law, then jumped from his

and Flood then broke his cane over

with the opening of the Graham

that CONGRESSMAN Flood. his wife

the Hotel Plaza in New York, was
indicated today by the filing OF q
deposition by William Shield Glen
nan. brother OF Michael Glennan,
who is suing Graham for $4,000 for
alienation Of his wife's affections.
Glennan alleges that he accident

on the night of the Armistice, and
that Graham invited him out on a
party with two women, at the same
time showing him a bottle OF cham

party and things began to get rough

Glennan's deposition states that in

of capital is necessary and additional
equipment must be provided.
In Washington there are number Of
"one-wagon" dealers. These milkmen
usually live on the outskirts of the city,
produce their own milk and market it
themselves, with practically no outlay
whatever for equipment except team
and with no delivery man, excepting
perhaps boy. Yet these milkmen ex-
tract from the public the same price
for milk that the large dealers with
thousands of dollars invested get for
their output These smaller dealers are
likewise put to no expense for bottles.
as they use in practically every case
nothing but bottles bought by larger
dealers. might say here that the
larger dealers, myself included, are sup
plying practically all the bottles and
crates for the whole city. Were these
small dealers forced to buy their own
bottles (as they should be) many of
them would probably go out of bust
ness. There should be enacted a law
which would compel every dealer to use
his own bottles and prevent the public
using milk bottles for every other pur
pose under the sun, such as flower
vases, mucilage pots, oil cans, shoe
polish. containers and the like. Nv
bottle loss this year will run $4,000
unelss miracle happens to prevent it.
On the whole the amount of profit is
reasonable and necessary for the main
tenance and safeguarding of so large a
business.
As to salaries paid myself and men,
bers of my family feel that no excuses
or apologies are necessary and l have
none to make. / am merely fortunate
enough to have family enough to take
these executive positions which demand
knowledge acquired of long experience
and a certainty of trustworthiness.
Were to employ executives outside my
own family (and have some) they
would demand good salaries. The mere
fact that have members of my family
in the business with me lends assur-
ance of security, stability, cooperation
and efficiency.
Tomorrow l will take up another
phase of the situation.
If you have not yet read previous an
nouncements see them in former edi-
tions of this paper.
