DUMPING MILK
To INFLUENCE
PR|CESDEN|ED
Attorney for Producers Ex-
plains Destruction at Con-
gressionaI Hearing.

With charges and counter-charges
flying thick and fast, the Congress
sional subcommittee investigating
Washington milk prices today re-
sumed it's hearing. with representa-
tives of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association on the
stand.
John s. Barbour. attorney for the
producers. fatty denied the accuracy
OF statements OF milk dealers that
1000 gallons OF milk were dumped
into sewers in an effort to keep up
milk prices in Washington.
1T was not a frank and full
charge, nor was II made in good
faith" Barbour declared.
SKINNED Milk Destroyed.
The milk that was dumped into
the sewers was SKINNED milk and
OF little or no value. To ship this
milk from Washington back 10 the
producers would cost cents a gal
lon, and the milk was only worth
cent a gallon.
Even at this low price there was
no market for the SKINNED milk,
and in order to provide room for
fresher milk we dumped the other
into the gutter"
Barbour and other representatives
OF the association declared there
was no boycott OF dealers who didn I
pay the association prices.
The producers are now and al
ways have been ready to arbitrate
where II is felt their prices are not
fair" Barbour said.
Outlines Recent Strike.
Barbour outlined the alleged milk
strike several months ago. He said
that the milk was diverted from GER
tain Washington dealers because
those dealers refused to contract for
milk with the association, the asso'
citation being the agent OF the pro
ducers.
Thomas r. Mclaughlin, former
secretary of the association. was
called to the stand and told the
history of the association.

FRENCH COMPANY PLAYS WELL
IN BERNSTEIN'S LA RAFALE'
Drama Familiar Here in English as 'Baccarat' and The

A new series of performances in
French. under the direction of Charles

brief past has afforded shelter to the

is not so new to local audiences as the
director apparently thinks, was the play

the leading role. Nine. Simone acted
II later at the same theater as THE
Whirlpool" The program credited the
players of the new company with former
membership in the companies Of various
noted theaters in Paris and Brussels.
The season OF the organization is for
the present brief. as the actors are on
the way to Montreal for an extended
stay. II there is a desire on the part OF
the public to see them a return engage

Tho company showed itself capable, OF
giving an admirable representation OF
Bernstein's highly emotonalized drama.
Incredible as THE whirlpool is tc
any but Latin sympathies, the play
seems vastly more plausible in French
than in the vernacular. But 1t was well
acted last night.
Charles Schauten in particular dis

finished and spirited performance of the
gambling hero, who is. of all the exotic
figures in the play. the least to be UNI
