MILK PRICE

Members Of the Washington
Consumers Council will hold a pro
test meeting against a proposed
increase Of 2 cents q gallon in the
price charged by milk producers,
at the Ouray Building at 4:30
p. m. tomorrow.
Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman
Of the council, said plans for a
campaign against a price boost to
distributors or consumers will be
mapped out.
Frank S. Walker, president o.
the association, as well as Of
ficials Of the AAA, who say they
are without authority to enter
the controversy, said they believed
the proposed increase could be alb.
sorbed by the dairieS without ef-
feet on consumers.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, a mem.
ber Of the Consumers Council ex-
ecutive board, took issue with Mrs.
Boyle and championed the farmers
in their request of an increase.
Mrs. Wiley, who said she had dis.
cuSsed details of production costs
