decline in the price Of bread.
Wheat" the report said, "is only
one of several bread ingredients. In
addition to the cost of ingredients
there are many other costs that in the
aggregate make up the total price. In

The committee made the point, how

wheat costs had fallen, and recon-

MILK MEN WARNED
AGAINST INCREASES
Co Administrator Opposes
High Rates That Would
Hurt Consumers.
BY the Associated Press.

Representatives of milk producers.
professors and distributors were warned
today against boosting prices at a rate
which would greatly increase living costs
for consumers.
Charles ]. Brand, co-administrator of
the farm act, told dairy men at the
opening Of a meeting to explore the
possibilities Of applying the measure to
that industry, that "if we take advan-
tage Of the consuming public, it is GER
tain that Congress will repeal this act"
Avoid Licensing Power.
Brand said administrators desired to
avoid use of their licensing power to
enforce trade agreements. Dairy men
will consider drafting these to cover the
distribution of butter, cheese and other
products sold on national basis. Ad
mtniStratorS have power to require
licenses of all professors and distribu-
tors in food industry and to refuse
them to those who fail to observe agree
ments.
I'VE are not opposed to licenses and
believe that they will be necessary in
some cases." Brand said. I'VE feel that
the citizen, however. is first entitled to
chance to play fair If there is an
element that will not play fair-then I
will not. for my part, hesitate to re-
quire licenses"
Brand said farm administrators would
work in close cooperation with admin
istrators Of the national recovery act,
but that distinct separation of the
fields Of the two Government organiza-
tions In the case of food industries has
not been established.
He said farm administrators very
likely would not concern themselves
with wage scales and hours of labor and
that agreements covering that phase
would be handled by the other organi-
zation. The farm administrators will
concern themselves principally with
agreements covering the marketing of
farm commodities aimed to increase the
returns to producers.
Planned to Divide.
The dairy group planned to divide
into sections representing different
branches Of the industry and to dis
cuss plans for applying the farm act
to each commodity including ice cream
manufacturing.
Later the conference will seek to CO.
ordinate the proposals advanced by each
branch and consider the drafting of
trade agreement which would cover the
entire industry with the exception of
fluid milk.
Regional and municipal agreements
covering the processing and distribution
Of fluid milk are being worked out
Three Of them, covering the Chicago,
Atlanta and Philadelphia fields have al
