MILK ADVANCE
TO DEALERS IN
/. EFFECT SUNDAY
New Tariff of 90 Cents q Gallon
May Bring Developments I'm
Controversy.

With the Scott county milk pro-
ducers fixing a 20-cent a gallon
scale tomorrow the controversy
between dealers and producers in
both Scott and Rock Island coun-
ties will enter into an acute stage.
Rock Island county milk produc-
ers take the~ground that the deal
ers will ultimately recede from
their assertion that they will not
pay more than 10 cents a gallon.
Scott county dealers have or
ganized with officers as follows:
president, Milton Hoist; vice pres
ident, Joseph Gaukler; secretary,
Edward Ramm; treasurer, Emil
Born.
Mr.. Hoist said: when the Rock
Island distributors refused to pay
the increased price demanded by
the Rock Island county producers
they came to Davenport to secure
milk. paying a higher price than
was in effect in the hope Of break
ing the Rock Island producers
strike. So the local dealers de-
cided that regardless of the law OF
supply and demand they would get
a higher price here. As a matter
of fact the local supply has been
almost enough for both Davenport
and Rock Island. Include the Rock
Island supply and it can easily be
seen that no raise in price for the
producer is now justified
Rock Island dealers state that
for the most part they have con-
tracts for their milk supplies and
are not worrying about the situa.
ton. No more milk is being i'm.
ported from Aurora and Morrison
they state. this method having beer
abandoned two weeks ago. Outside
supplies, they assert, now come
from Whiteside county, although I
large amount OF milk is secured
from Scott and Rock Island coun
ties.
| May Centrallxe System.
Producers state that they under
stand sort Of combine has beer
effected by the Rock Island dealers
which will result in one or tw,
trucks calling for the milk supply
thus doing away with the old rout,
system, according to which eacl
dealers had his own itinerary.
A meeting Of Rock Island count,
producers will be held early mex
week. A possible outcome IS tn
establishment In Rock Island of
milk depot, producer-controlled, t,
which the strikers will bring thei
milk and effect an arrangement TO
its distribution.
