ton would decline by many million
pounds below national estimates be-
fore the end of 1913.
The decrease, he said, already is
in evidence in the East and on the

noticeable because of the combina-
ton OF difficult labor problem and
high feed costs.
Mr.. Brandt, president of the Land
OLakes Creameries, reported on the
industry in an address at a confer
ence of Grocery Manufacturers
Sales Executives, Inc, of Chicago, in
cooperation with the Army Quar-
termaster Corps.

dairy production will turn down.

Ing pace unless the country recog-
nlzes what is happening before it is
too late and brings about corrective
measures.
Regardless of how willing the
farmer might be to produce sufi-
| cient supplies of dairy products, it
becomes an economic impossibility
II he cannot afford to hire the labor
even though 1t is available"
The ratio of butterfat prices at
present is completely out of line
with the cost Of production, Mr..
Brandt said, and therefore the price
consideration Is Of paramount i'm

However" the report continues,
"the committee believes that the

therefore, it now seeks to determine

Minor Changes Made.
Only minor amendments were
made to the unemployment COM
pensation bill, principally to elm
mate House provision that would
have subjected to the tax any re-
ligious, charitable or educational
nonproit organization, If it engaged
in activity to influence legislation.
The bill relating to hours of
women was amended to require one
day off in seven, while permitting
women in justiflable cases to work
more than eight hours In any one
day, and up to 81 hours in a week.
The House bill also suspended the
six day limit.
The unemployment compensation
measure substitutes for the present
fat tax rate of 2.7 per cent, a grad
uated scale, ranging downward from
81 to one-tenth of / per cent, ac-
cording to each employers record.
The fat rate has resulted in piling
up a reserve fund of more than
S36 ,000, 900, which congressional
committees found is larger than
Washington needs to meet unem-
ployment benefits.
