The trial of seven dairies and
the Maryland Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association on charges OF
conspiring to restrain milk trade
here entered its second day in
District Court today.
William B. Hooper. Office man
ager of the milk producers
association, was on the stand as
Governments first witness identi-
flying contracts signed since 194C
by the association and the de-
fendant dairies.
Chief Prosecutor Robert H
Winn questioned Mr.. Hooper
about the sales percentages of the
seven distributors under indict-
ment. The witness replied that as
of March. 1947, the dairies showed
this percentage of participation
in first and second class milk
sales in the Washington area:
Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase,
43.7 per cent: Thompson's, 1873
per cent; Lucerne or SafeWay,
1913; Alexandria Dairy. 81; Har-
vey. 81: Wakefield, 81, and Rich
field, is.
Mr.. Winn told Judge Alexander
Holtzoff yesterday the Govern
ment intends to prove that milk
prices in Washington are unduly
high because agreements between
the association and the defendant
dairies tend to stif1e competition.
Mr.. Winn said the District
Health Department co-operates
with the association in maintain
ing a geographical barrier" to

D. {. Group Weighs
Opposing Arguments
On Job|ess Pay Bill
By Don S. Worren

COnIllCJlng preQlCtlOnS were
heard today as to what the SEN
ate District Committee might
recommend as to the proposed
liberalization of the city's unem-
|ployment compensation insurance
law.
Under study was the Nicely bill,
drafted at the request of labor
union spokesmen, calling for an
increase from $6 to So in the
minimum weekly payments tc
| eligible jobless claimants and
from $40 to $33 In the maximum
amount.
The Neely bill also would In
crease from 20 to 26 weeks the
duration Of benefit payments and
raise from Is to Is years the age
of eligible dependents of jobless
benefit claimants.
One spokesman for the Senate
District Committee said the best
hope for legislative action at this
Congress is that labor and bust
ness spokesmen might get together
on compromise bill.
Clash at Hearing.
Major issues were raised at an
all-day hearing yesterday before
a Senate District subcommittee
when labor and management
spokesmen clashed over moves to
increase the benefits.
The principal obstacle to an
increase as voiced by business in
terests. is that the present law
permits "chiseling" by malinger-
ers and that this would be ac-
centuated by the new law.
Spokesman for numerous en-
ployers' groups demanded that
'loopholes" in the present law be
corrected before any move is
made to liberalize it. Otherwise,
their spokesmen said, the costs of
jobless insurance here would in
crease and might even threaten
the economic security Of the Ma
tional Capital.
The Washington Board of
Trade took the lead in urging a
delay in action to allow business
groups more time to calculate the
effects,
Backed by Other Groups.
This body was backed by
numerous groups including the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, the Washington Hotel
Association, the District Truckers
Association, the District Phar.
maceutical Association, the Wash
ington Graphic Arts Association
the Washington Real Estate
Board and the Building Owners
and Managers Association.
Support for the proposal of
Chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee for raising the
maximum of jobless payments
here came from union spokes-
men. including the Central Labor
Union and the AFL.
