ON MILK CODE .
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Proposed marketing agreements
Tor a score of metropolitan milk
sheds" were affected today by
the effort of Chicago independent
milk dealers to invalidate i'm.
portant sections of the farm re-
covery act.
Legal experts Of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
who have been helping to shape
these agreements were assigned
to prepare the Governments
case in the hearing slated for
Monday before Federal District
Judge Wilkerson at Chicago.
There was a tendency among
Administration officials to mark
time on the milk marketing pro-
gram until the Chicago case Is
presented in court.
It was declared, however, that
o marketing agreement for the
Philadelphia area may be placed
in operation within a few days.
The plea of the Chicago indie
pendents for an injunction against
enforcement of the milk market
ing agreement revived talk Of
Washington concerning Wilker-
sons record in the granting Of
writs.
This record, which included the
famous "Dougherty' injunction
of 1922 against striking railway
shopmen throughout tn e United
States, was assailed bitterly by
Senate progressives when t h e
judge was nominated by President
Hoover for a circuit court posi-
ton.
The Seventy-second Congress
failed to act on the nomination.
