What We Can Do
About Milk Cost
by Alvaine Hamilton
for Labor Press Associates

What do you pay for that quart of milk that every
of your growing youngsters sohuld drink today? It's high
and it's big slice of the famys food BILL if you live in
most US communities Milk delivered to the door in cities
the US Agriculture Dept says average of 23c at the
end of 1948 26c in Jacksonville Fla Lowest prices
the 19c charged in Cleveland Milwaukee, Minneapolis
and Salt Lake City
At the depth of the depression milk cost 1910 quart
in the last prewar year, 1860 But today the price
almost doubled.
AS for 1949 Agriculture Dept experts predict the price
will stay at about the present level higher
get another shot of initiation.
We're drinking less milk than during the war,
using less butter bread and eating of the milk
after it's processed cheese and dry whole milk We're
eating less than did during the in the form of ice
Assuming want to get much of the milk posi-
BILE to every family that needs it, we'll have do
thing about milk prices And that's where the most
powerful unions and consumers organizations have often
up against stone wall.
The dairy products industry is big business It's retail
sales for 1947 the last year for which figures available
totaled $622 billions Of this, farmers were paid S377
billion and the other $245 paid to marketers

You Can Cut Milk Bills

To cut milk bills, without cut
ting out any of the nutrients that
you and the children ought to
have, here are some suggestions:
/. Compare bottled milk
prices to see if you can save by
buying at store. Homogenized
milk, which commands a pre-
MUM price in some cities, is no
more nutritious and you can
homogenize your own simply by
shaking the bottle for a few
seconds. Find out if any dairy
sells in half-gallon or gallon
containers. In a modern refrig-
orator, milk will keep a week.
Experiment with dry whole
milk. This is exactly as nutri-
tious as bottled milk, and several
cents a quart cheaper, plus be-
ing easier to keep. If your fam
lily is prejudiced, give them the
"blindfold test" to compare.
Check prices for dry whole milk
in several stores-differences as
high as soc a pound have been
found.
3-Dry skim milk is a real
money-saver. 1t costs about &c
for enough to make a quart; if
it's not carried in your local
stores, you can order by mail at
S1.24 plus postage for a four
pound package from Eastern Co.
operatives, Inc, "A w. 143rd ST.,
New York 80, N. Y.
The dry skim milk is as nu-
tritious as whole milk, except it
lacks the butter fat. Fortified
margarine and leafy, green and
yellow vegetables can make up
that shortage. It's more convent
ent for many cooking uses
cream soups and sauces, baking,
puddings-and smart house

Mail Order Price Cuts

For shoppers who compare
prices before buying there are
some sharp price cuts on dress
shirts and other items in the
midwinter mail order catalogs of
Sears, Roebuck and Montgomery
Ward. You can look thru cata-
log at local retail outlet (which
does not have the same merchan-
disc as the catalog in many
lines) or at the local mail order
center. These are good sources
for comparisons with sales adj
vertised by local department
stores. Sears is selling white
dress shirts, formerly S2.29 and
S2.98 for S1.75 (lots of 81. 1t has
cut prices 1919 on chambray and
covert work shirts, and cut
prices for mems worsted suits,
cotton and broadcloth and flan-
nelette pajamas. Ward also has
cut dress shirt prices, and fea-
lures 10Fo cuts under regular
catalog prices for bed linen and
20% for mattresses.

tn Repeal
Fiqhf On

WASHINGTON (LPA) -
While President Trunan's speech
to Congress called for quick re-
peal Of the t-Hartley law and
reenactment of the Wagner act,
the chairmen of the two Con-
gressional labor committees
shocked the unions when they
announced legislative plans.
One thought the labor law shift
should wait until his committee
had disposed of "uncotroversial"
measures. The other suggested
that the Wagner act be amend
ed at the same time it is REIN
stated. Union spokesmen who
want quick repeal of TIL, and
enough time to draft sound Wag-
ner act changes after it is back
on the books, hope, however,
that they can make the chair
men see the light.

for all except table use.
Good recipe suggestions come

As the dairy men know 50
well, you'll save q lot, and
nourish your family as well, if
you substitute oleomargarine for
butter. In recent weeks, mar

maintain its position relative to
the higher priced butter.

Why not set up our own
milk businesses = the way
you would a grocery coop?
It takes $125,0O0 at least to
set up a milk collection sys-
tenn to operate in a large
city. At least another $4,000
would 60 into a pasteurizing
plant. And even the experts
won't guess the cost of dis
tributing the bottles of milk
and cream and poun d S of
butter to retail stores and
homes.
Ask how milk prices are
set, and you run into an in
volved story. For the pro-
ducers - the farmers who
own the cows - milk prices
are set in 80 major milk
sheds" by the US Agricul-
ture Dept. However, there's
not just one price for milk.
If the companies that buy the
milk intend to use it for bot
tling and sale as whole fluid
milk, the farmer gets one
price. If the professor intends
to make it into butter, cheese,
dry skim milk, casein paint
in fact, anything but whole
fluid milk - the farmer re-
ceives another price. It's all
the same milk, from the same
cows.
The Agriculture Dept. holds
hearings when a petition is made
for change in producers prices.
Public and consumer representa-
tives are welcome to attend and
testify - but it takes a highly
skilled economist, with technical
knowledge of the dairy industry,
to have any tangible effect. You
can still kick about high prices,
and ask embarrassing question,
tho. And in a few cities, con-
sumers return year after year,
and by now they're really know
ledgeable.
Health department regulations
about milk production, supris-
ingly enough are a field where
unions and consumers can really
do some good. Most of the city
ordinances covering inspection of
farmers dairies were written in
the days when milk was not pas
teurized, when farmers peddled
milk from their carts, door to
door. Times have changed, and
these outmoded rules are Sc
rious hindrance to any reason
able flexible distribution of milk.
Smart distributors in city after
city have put their hands on the
city health departments, and use
the health" rules to keep sur
plus milk from other areas out
of the local market in times of
local shortage thus holding

Housing Segregation
Forbidden

NEWARK (LPA) - Attempts
to discriminate against Negro
veterans in a city housing de-
velopment were restrained by
court order last week. The city
has attempted to place all Negro
vote in one building, but was de-
feated by court judgment that
"since there is no segregation in
civic duty and sacrifice, there
should be none in the realm of
human dignity and equality"

Compare Food Ads

A&P food chain President
John A. Hartford announced
last week that his stores will
spend more money than ever be-
fore on newspaper advertising
this year. Housewives who pay
for the ads in the prices of foods
can use them as one of the shoe
leather-saving methods of COM
parison shopping. Watch espe-
cially for weekend meat specials
which can save dollars each
week, with a little planning for
the days ahead.

NOV THAT we have started
~ the New Year, we hope to
bring you the column as you like
it. We have heard that some peo-
pie are dissatisfied the way it is
printed, if that is so why not
give us some ideas as to how you
would like it. We are always
open for suggestions and as a
matter of fact we would appre-
ciate news and things of interest.
1t seems that Dick Armitage
of Dept. 2 doesn't like our COM
pany any longer because last
week he was seen using the
foremans rest room. Maybe 1t
was one of those urgent calls,
but we doubt it.
The fellows of Dept. 2 wonder
just whether Mike or Tony is
their foreman. Better watch II
Tony, our guess is that Mike is
out to get your place.
Flash: Mr.. Martin, foreman of
Dept. 10 would like to see the
contract thrown in the waste
basket. Go ahead Mr.. Martin
throw yours away, but don't for
get we will still hold on to ours
and abide by it. We think that
is more then you do.
Since the last column was
printed a lot of birthdays has
passed so as not to over look
anybody, we take the opportu-
nifty at this time to wish all of
you a very happy birthday and
many more to come.
Who was the Irish man that
went to a German bakery and
asked for punckie? Not to men
ton any names but we think this
person has suffered long enough
so no further ribbing will be
necessary.
Boy, were the fellows blinded
last month when they entered
the machine shop. Reason the
old dark hole was given a new
coat of paint during inventory
and it looks like something. Of
course it will save lot on the
electric bill. The floor also was
given a new look to make the
trucking little easier, since the
conveyor is at stand still as
yet.
With all the new changes be-
ing made at the shop it is kind
of hard to keep up with the
times. This Dept. being moved,
that Dept. being moved only
one thing though, they haven't
moved any Dept's. out of the
door, even though some have
been cut way down but there
still remains little spark. Lets
hope the future is a little bright
er.
Well it is about time we give
a small plug to these prospective
brides and grooms, don't forget,
still time to call itooff, but if
it happens let the bell ring to
the high heavens because it will
happen only once. To those that
dood it over the holidays we
wish you all the luck in the
world.
Once again we ask you if any
news of interest passes your way
don't hesitate to turn it in at
the union desk or give it to your
reporter. With your help we can
make this column to your liking.
Make sure it is turned in before
Friday night.
