Agreement Criticized

bers of the Consumers
Council set out today to obtain
thousands of signatures to a pro-
test against the move to estab-
lish a milk Gear" for the Wash
ington area.
At a meeting last night, the
council charged the move was an
attempt to drive low-priced milk
from the District. A marketing
agreement proposed at the re-
quest of organized producers was
attacked by Mrs. John Boyle,
jr., of the council, who declared:
"The council sees in the agree
ment a plan by milk dealers
to prevent the sale of low priced
milk by driving out Of business
those who sell it. 1t declared
the agreement is based on an
unSound merchandising policy
developed during the last 10
years which can end only in
great losses to farmers"
An attempt to raise milk prices
here will be resisted, Donald E.
Montgomery, consumers counsel,
declared. Hearings on the pro-
posed agreement will be started
by the Department Of Agriculture
on Monday.

gates to the Central Labor Union
were instructed to take similar
action.
Doubles Mems Work
Simms is employed as a con-
ductor by the company and has
worked since 1919. He criticized
the one-man cars as doubling the
work of the lone trainmen, limit
ing the opportunities of employ
ment and slowing up the move
ment of other street cars.
At the outset of his testimony
he declared that several other
trainmen wanted to appear before
the commission. but company dis
patchers would not release them
from duty.
High officials of the company
in attendance at the hearing made
arrangements for the other train
men to appear before the commits

of $45 per month.
500 Face Lay-Off
Approximately 500 Of the 1000
workers were scheduled to be
laid off last Monday when it
became known that the original
appropriation for the project had
been virtually exhausted during
the year it has been under way.
It was only the acquisition Of
the temporary WPA funds that
forestalled the lay-off Monday
morning, according to the War
Department spokesman.
Prior to May 81 the Quarter.
master Corps, which is directing
the work, had requested $2oS, 656
and up to that time $133,656 in
Federal funds had been released.
Due principally to differences
over the wage scales which have
been in effect and which may
be in effect on the project, the
exact total of expenditures con-
templated for the work has not
been determined. It is expected,
however, that several million dol.
lars will have been spent when
the project is completed.
Field Level Raised
According to plans. completion
of the work will make Boiling

air termini. In addition to greatly
charging the area of the landing
field proper, the entire level Of the
field will be raised to IL feet
above flood level. This would in
sure against a repetition of the
inundation which made the field
useless during the flood period Of
last spring.
New quarters for commissioned
and non-commiSSioned officers are
to be erected as well as additional
barracks for the enlisted men.
Other construction includes hang
ars, laboratories and machine

POSITION

ises which l can't carry out. And
for that reason I say that I do not
believe it will be possible to do away
with the sales tax altogether by the
time the Legislature meets next
January-unless we do one of four
things.
Those four things are: 1-place
the tax back on the land and home
owners. 2-Make our taxes on
business and industry, from the
country store to the biggest fac
tory, so oppressive as to cripple our
business in its competition with
business in other states. 3-Let
the schools and other agencies OF
the government suffer because OF
continued inadequate support. 4
Fail to provide for old age secu-
rity in compliance with the new.
! social security legislation enacted by
Congress.
And as much as l am opposed to
the sales tax, am more opposed to
doing those four things.
Farmers and home owners have
all the tax load they can bear. Our
taxes in business and industry al
ready is higher than the taxes in our
neghboring states. We would be
