SEEN BY FOWLER
Health Officer Thinks War
Between Dealer and Farmer
May Bring Cut.

A reduction in the retail price of
milk In Washington next month was
suggested today by Health Officer w.
c. Fowler as a possible development
IL the war between distributors and
producers continues.
DR.. Fowler. who has followed the
controversy closely. pointed out today
that If both sides carry out their an
nounced plans there is likely to be a
surplus of milk in this territory after
October /. He admitted that he had
mo Information of a proposed cut in
price, but he cited this aspect of the
situation.
"The local distributors. who are un-
willing to buy through the producers
association. say they have other
sources from which to get an ample
supply of milk. The producers say
that they are prepared to deliver their
milk in Washington, anyhow. if the
local dealers do not take it.
IF such a situation should develop
competition would be keen and might
lead to a change in prices"
Dealers Are silent,
Neither the local dealers nor the
Maryland and Virginia producers,
who are at loggerheads over a new
contract, have as yet given any in
timation of a lower price.
- There were no outstanding new
developments in the controversy to-
day. The distributors are said to be
going forward with their plans to
get milk from farms outside the
producers association.
Although the health department
has not yet issued temporary per-
mits to new producers to ship to
Washington, a large number of ap-
plication blanks have been called
