NEW YORK, March 22--Dairy prod
ucts valued at between $4,000. 100000
and $3,ooO,0o0,oOo will be sold by the
farmers of the country in 1928. The
dairy industry today is passing through
severe period Of readjustment In order
that these products may be produced
and sold more economically. with in
creased profits to producers, distributors
and retailers.
The Industry is undergoing an extern
sive series of consultations IN every
department. except the producing end.
The objects sought are stabilized mar

scores The Ave largest concerns, oper-
ating in widely scattered sections OF the
country. are described as expanding
raniilv. with a continued absorption OF
smaller units.
! All OF these concerns are extensively
engaged In handling products other
| than raw milk. The trend toward
mergers IA apparent. however, among
concerns which handle raw milk only,
In Chicago. for example, only lew
years ago there were 300 concerns SO
employed. Now there are barely 100
Recently two Of the largest distributors
consolidated. In Milwaukee seven dairy
/ concerns have shr1ink to three. In Phil
adelnhia Eve concerns, financed to-
gether do most OF the business. Sixty
per cent OF the Pittsburgh distribution
Is through one concern.
Associations Mostly Local.
Small cooperative diaries and pro-
| ducers' associations have not been In
volved to any extraordinary extent IN
mergers The dairymen actually pro-
| cucine the milk which goes into the
manufacture of various dairy products

atoms are local concerns In most cases.
Small cooperative cheese producers
! are also localized. but in the package

with large units In the industry It Is
easier for producing concerns to turn

Of milk at present.
Formerly producers had to turn their
milk into cheese or butter right at
the local market. and If there was an
oversupply Of those products In the To-
cal market the prices suffered. Now it
is possible to ship any surplus milk to
ice cream factories or the larger cream
cries, or to cities for regular distribu-
ton. City milk prices have changed
little recently ana there Is no prospect
that they viii alter violently In spite
of the numerous mergers.

ALCOHOL DIVERSION
SEEN IN RUM PROBE.
100000 Gallons Given to
Philadelphia Cover Houses,
Monaghan Says.
BIZ the Associated Press.

BIZ the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, October 4.-DeciHr-
ing that more than 100000 gallons OF
alcohol had been illegally diverted here
yearly, District Attorney Monaghan sRid
today that the grand jury investigation
of rum runners had exposed the meth
DDS of diversion.
I'VE have developed information"
said the prosecutor. showing that in
one year cover houses, pretending TO
manufacture preparations containing al
col1ol. or dealing with pretended manu-
facturers, illegally diverted more than
100000 gallons of alcohol
THE methods of such diversion are
being exposed. The participation Of po-
lice officials and others in systems OF
protection is being exposed. 1t will be
a long time before anything like the
huge system back of bootle2ging can be
re-established.
"The reflection of the present Situa-
ton is seen In closed saloons and speak
essies; closed particularly because the
source of supply has actually been
broken up.
There is no doubt that huge amounts
of alcohol intended legally for manu-
featuring purposes found an easy pain
into the hands of bootleggers who we're
mate the denaturing poisons the alco-
hol contained, but used the stuff to
manufacture what they called good
whisky.
III is obvious that some legislation,
State and Federal, is needed to elm
mate the evils attendant upon the in
adequate regulations now applying to
cover houses"
Indictments against Charles w.
Schoenleber, suspended police captain,
