ing under his direction would make
check of prices charged customers of
all Washington dairies on all of their
routes. Evidence already obtained shows
that one dairy had a preferred list OF
cut-rate customers.
All of this information together with
other evidence regarding milk business
here will be laid before special group
of the Senate District Committee by
Mr.. Seal.
The investigator for the Senate sub
committee reported today that auditors
have checked out Of 109 routes of
one Washington dairy and found there
were 48 customers who are given the
cut-rate of IL or II cents a quart. in
stead of the l3 cents charged to other
customers. For this reason, Seal said,
the investigation would be extended to
all Washington dairy routes.
Probes Surplus Fund.
Seal yesterday went to Orange and
Richmond, Va, to determine how the
SAT- 900 surplus fund of the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Association was
invested. Records in banks there
checked with records Of the associa-
tion, showing the money was invested
in various stocks and bonds and none
of it in local dairy concerns, Seal said.
Seal therefore denied an intimation
given in one published report that he
had said evidence had been uncovered
that National Diaries Corporation
brought into being the milk producers
organization and dominated its per-
sonnel and policies.
Seal said the investigation SO far
failed to show that the dairies domi-
mated the milk producers body. He
added however, that this phase of the
investigation would be looked into fur
ther before the study is completed.
Seal said another phase Of the inves-
tigation would be a study of charge
lied with him by one dairy company
driver that such workmen were not get
ting a fair deal in wages.

But, to the surprise of the police, an
