u. S. Renews Fight to Smash
ALLEGED Milk Monopoly Here

Leahy If the Intervention of the
Government did not prevent the
conspirators in Chicago from con-
trolling the milk supply. When
Mr.. Leahy responded affirmatively,
Judge Edgerton asked:
Haven't these people here sue
ceeded?"
mo, your honor" Mr.. Leahy re-
sponded. 80 per cent of the supply
is still outside our agreement. But
even If we had succeeded in con-
trolling the total supply we would
have had a right to do so under
the acts Of Congress"
Mr.. Leahy said the Government
based its whole attack upon the
fact the cooperative bargained
collectively with the distributors
instead Of presenting its proposed
contract to each dairyssingularly.
Attacks Reactionary Position.
"The Government contends we
cannot bargain collectively al
though labor does it every day."
Mr.. Leahy said. I'VE just read
where John L. Lewis is preparing
to sit down with the coal mine
operators to bargain collectively
but the Government says that
should not be permitted insofar
as the farmers are concerned. -
The Government, Mr.. Leahy
added, is attempting to force a
"reactionary position" on the
courts by assaulting the collective
bargaining rights Of farmer CO.
operatives.
The Maryland-Virg Milk
Producers Association. Mr.. Leahy
said, does not control milk pro-
duction in this area. "aH we do
is establish rules and regulations
over our own members. We don't
force farmers in our association
and we don't intimidate or
threaten those who stay out"
Notes Decrease IN Price.
Mr.. Leahy said competition still
prevails In this milk marketing
area, despite the contentious Of
the Department Of Justice. and
cited the recent decrease In the
price Of milk to consumers to sup
port his contention.
In rebuttal Mr.. Bergson said
the courts have held that the COLI
lective bargaining rights Of labor
cannot be used to shield anti
trust violations by employers.
The protection the law gives
co-operatives. likewise. cannot be
used to pull the milk distributors
chestnuts out Of the fire." Mr..
Bergson said.
