CHANGE OF MILK.
SHIPPING LAWS.
WeSterners Call Plan
Harsh and Monopoly
BY PAUL A. CONLIN

Proposals to tighten regulations
on milk and cream shipped into
the District for ice cream manu-
facture drew the fire of Congress
men from Wisconsin and Michi-
gan today at a public hearing in
the District Building.
The CongreSSmen focused their
attack on the "monopoliStic and
unreasonable" proposal to require
milk and cream be delivered and
manufactured into ice cream
within 96 hours after its first pas
teurization.
FIGURE NOT ARBITRARY
On the suggestion Of Commis-
sioner George e. Allen, Health OF
ficer George c. Rutland, who de
MED the 96 hours was an "arbl-
trary figure" said he was willing
to make the figure 10 days.
Representative Frank E. Hook
Cd Of Michigan, led the con-
gressional opposition by serving
notice on the Commissioners Con-
greSs has the power to restify
inequities and that the Michigan
and Wisconsin delegations would
rally other Midwestern Solons to
wipe unreasonable" restrictions
from the books.
District consumers now paying
stop prices" for dairy products
were cited by Representative Gard
ner r. Winthrow Of Wisconsin,
as "the ones who will suffer" II
the proposals become effective.
BACTERIA COUNT ASKED
Concurring, Representative Mar
lin Hull CD of Wisconsin, brought
a proposed limitation of bacteria
count to 100000 per cubic centre
meter into the debate. He said
Mid-Western dairymen ship to
New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Baltimore the same quality
milk and cream which they con-
sign to Washington. In those
cities, he stated, the proposed bas-
terra count and time limit on
manufacture do not obtain.
Kenneth Owens, president Of
the Wisconsin Farm Federation,
and authorized to represent
Charles Hill, the Wisconsin secre-
tary Of Agriculture, described the
proposals as "just another ex-
ample Of what monopolistic con-
troll has tried to impose on the
small farmers of Wisconsin"
RULE 'PREPOSTEROUS"
He said the 96.hour rule is "pre.
poSterious on its face" It's effect,
he said, would be to shut mid
West diary products out of the
District, an eventuality, which
would not stand up before any
just court"
Owens charged the proposals
were "bugaboos' put into the regu-
lations' to concentrate production
in the hands of monopoliStic in
tereStS, and gobble up small pro-
ducers. What's behind this pro- i
poSal is more than what's in it."
