MILK PRICES HERE

BYA.A.A.L|CENSE
Consumers to Pay More if
Marketing Plan Is Put
in Effect.
DAIRY COMPANIES PLAN
TO PASS ON INCREASES
Public Hearings to Be Held Fol
lowing Publication by Farm
Administration.

washington consumers will have
to pay more for their milk If mar
keting license now being drafted by
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration is placed in effect. it was
learned today.
The license in its present rough
form is understood to call for in
creased farm prices for milk and If
these are incorporated in the final
draft the dairy companies expect to
pass them on to the consumers.
Frequent Parieys Held.
Frank w. Walker, president of the
Maryland q Virginia Milk Producers
Association: M v. Dawson OF the
Chestnut Farms Chevy Chase Dairy,
Isaac w. Heaps. president of the
Eastern States Milk Marketing As
sociation, and John McGill, jr., for
mer manager of the producers or
sanization and now an official of the
dairy division of the A. A. A., have
held frequent conferences over the
proposed license.
McGill resigned from the cooper
ative after his administration OF the
associations affairs had been critl-
cized before the Senate Milk Invest-
eating Committee last year. He has
been called into consultation on the
marketing license for this area be-
cause of his knowledge of peculiar
problems" affecting this milk shed, 1t
was said at the A. A. A. However, he
does not have complete charge OF the
license formulation, it was said.
Just how soon the license will be
ready for publication could not be
foreseen by officials of the Farm Ad-
ministration. After its publication 10
days must elapse in which protests
may be filed and then public hear
ings held for the purpose of hearing
the objeetors.
Prices Already Assailed.
Milk prices here already have been
assailed by DIR. Frederic C. Howe, con-
sumers' counsel of the A. A. A., as too
high in view of the prices paid pro-
ducers. 1t is expected that Dr. Howe's
division and the Consumers Advisory
Council of Washington, headed by Mrs.
John Boyle, jr., will register formal
protests against the license.
A previous attempt to boost retail
milk prices within the last year failed
when the proposed local milk market
ing ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to the
present licensing syStem-was junked,
During the controversy over that
agreement" two-price plan, under
which the dairy companies would buy
milk from the farmers, was substituted
for the old three price plan, which
had been attacked before the Senate
investigating committee. This gave
most producers a slight increase in
income
Plan to Renew Fight.
The Independent Milk Distributors
Association, which was organized
during the milk inquiry, filed a mar
keting agreement with the A. A. A.
when those codes were being pro-
mulgated, calling for only one price
to the farmers Members of the as
sociation are expected to renew their
fight for this plan of milk purchase
at the license hearings.
However, Seton Darr, attorney for
the distributors organization, said
none of the independent dairies had
been advised that a license was be-
ing prepared.

A. +. Of L. Head Denies
National Significance
of Coast Strike.
Rr The Assnclated Pres.

BY The Associated Press
CHICAGO. July I8-William A.
Green, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, today asserted
that the general strike at San Fran
cisco was neither ordered nor author
ized by the A. F. OF L. and has no ma
tionsl significance, as far as organized
labor was concerned
Green explained that there had
been some confusion In the public
mind. and he believed some explana-
tion from him to clear up the situa-
tion was in order.
The text of his statement follows:
The strike In San Francisco is local
in character, possessing no national
significance. 1t originated with the
workers directly involved. Through
an assumption Of authority growing
out of certain autonomous rights con-
ferred upon local organizations. their
representatives ordered the strike and
must accept full responsibility for this
action.
Hopes for Settlement.
THE American Federation of Labor
neither ordered the strike nor author
lied it, At no time has its counsel
or advice been solicited or its services
requested But even though the Amer
lean Federation of Labor is not direct
ly involved. its officers and members
are deeply concerned over the existing
situation and are hoping for speedy
While, unfortunately, the public
mind is confused regarding the issues
involved in this strike, labor generally
knows and understands that II the
workers who are engaged in the
purely sympathetic strike win. they
gain a moral victory, but if they
lose they lose all.
Fairness UppermOSt.
When working people are engaged
in an economic life or death struggle,
it does not seem appropriate for their
friends to engage in comment which
might be used against them by their
enemies. At the moment, therefore,
when the intense struggle is approach
ing a climax, 1t is not so much
question of the wisdom or the un-
wisdom of the action taken. Instead
an honorable settlement of the in
dustrial conflict upon an equitable
basis should be the question of su-
preme concern to all fair, just and
social minded people"
Green was in Chicago on his way
to Racine. Wis, where he will address
the convention of the Wisconsin State
Federation of Labor tonight. He
planned to return to Washington to-
morrow.

Broker Hale and Hearty
After 100000 Miles
of Wandering.
(Story on Page BID

Trim and fit after a fifteenth dose
Of his fsvorite medicine-round the
world travel-Julius Brittlebank re-
turned to Washington yesterday and
pitched his nomadic tent in q
downtown hotel. How long he is to
remain will be governed by the only
inf1exible rule of Brittlebank trans
ience, until further notice"
Known as 'the American Marco
Polo" bon vivant, reconteur and a
globe trotter who believes his amuSe-
ment the very eXilir of life, Mr. Brit
tlebank is still hale and hearty after
rs years of living and about 1000, coo
miles of wandering.
Notes Economic Improvement.
He came back from his latest jaunt
with no particular adventures to re-
late, other than his delight in noting
economic improvement in every
country he visited The ship he took
across the Pacific was about 80 per
cent full. A couple of years ago, the
stewards from first class used to
hang around and talk to cattle in the
hold, to keep from getting lonely.
Before he left this country, the
genial Mr.. Brittlebank added another
to the list OF uprisings he has wit
messed over the world He had a
look at the San Francisco strike, an
impressive sight even for a man who
was on hand for the Russo japanese
War, the Chinese Revolution of 1911,
the. Balkan Wars of 1912, the Per-
uvian Revolt and left Germany on
the last train of the last safe day in
1914. Despite the fact he was within
cannon shot of some of these fracases,
he never saw a gun fired or heard a
bullet whiz bv his ear.
40 Transatlantic Trips.
In the 26 years since he retired
from the brokerage business in Charles
ton, S. c., and seriously set about
the diversion Of travel, Mr.. Brittle
banks has made about 40 trans-Atlan-
tic voyages, gone around the world Is
times Cheading always in a westerly
direction, which makes him is days
older than he Isl and has seen every
country except Iceland and Siberia.
Marco Polo never saw those either. He
intends to get look at those yet and
keep on travelling until he dies.
Although at least half his mileage
has been covered on the sea, he never
has been in a shipwreck or seen one.
Summing up his general impressions
of this and past years, Mr. Brittlebank
expressed the conviction the world Is
getting to be a better place all the
time, said he thinks there is real world
recovery in progress and SCOTS at the
talk of war between the United States
and any country of the Far East.
Comic Opera War.
He thinks Japan's activities in Man
churia have been overpubliciZed. Says
the much-discussed invasion OF
Shanghai, for example, was sort Of
comic opera war. The fighters were
told to stay out of the city, and jap
anese guns were trained on suburbs,

"immeasurably better since they were
rebuilt
Meanwhile the perturbation of for
eign residents in the enclosure went
something like this, says Mr.. Brittle
bank:
What time is the bombardment
this afternoon"
"Oh, about 3 o'clock"
Meet you at the hotel roof garden
for cocktails. Three o'clock sharp
don't forget. And bring your aunt
if you think she'd enjoy it."
Mr.. Brittlebank admits there is
the usual war talk in Italy and
France, but thinks their recent in
ternational loan negotiations will
preclude the possibility Of any action
currently. He says no one mentions
war in England. Too busy talking
about cricket and horse racing.
When he leaves here Mr.. Brittle
bank probably will go to Charleston
for a while, Winter either there or
somewhere else in the South, and
next Spring set forth on another ven
ture, whittier he will not decide until
the time comes. Iceland, perhaps.

EASING OF COTTON
RESTRICTIONS DUE
A. A. A. Heads ParIey Has
100000 to 1900, 600
Bales Yield Aim.
BY the Associated Press.

Despite an upward revision in the
cotton crop forecast. Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration officials yes
terday conferred to draft q program
for next year which will probably
have as its aim a yield of between
100000 and 100000 bales.
This would approach normal crop
and would mean q loosening Of re-
strictions which resulted in an acreage
of around 100000 this year, al
though some reduction in planting
below the normal Of 10000, 900 acres
is looked for in 1895.
A crop of 9.433 900 bales was fore
cast yesterday, an increase of 19I 900
bales above the September estimates,
but 1t had been discounted in ad-
vance, apparently both by the A. A. A.
and private trade.
The anticipated yield is still the
lowest since 1899, with the exception
of the abnormally low harvest Of
1884, 900 bales in 1921. Drought and
acreage curtailment combined this
year in causing a production drop
of approximately 1904 900 below 1888
and 5,233,000 under the average har-
vest in the 1928-1932 period.
