Con Lower Milk
Cost, Powers Saws

All consumers should interest
themselves in political action so
that they can resist initiation, save
$9,000,000 annually in the cost of
milk, and give greater balance to
our democratic system, Senator
John E. Powers stated at a meet
ing of the Fourth Degree Con-
clave of the knights of Colum-
bus of the Western District of
Massachusetts in Greenfield last
night.
Senator Powers pointed out
that business and labor are
effectively representing their in
terestS during an infationary
period, but that no sizable group
is representing the consumer.
Every time your wife buys
quart of milk" said Senator
Powers, she is helping to subsi-
die the manufacturer of butter,
cheese, ice cream and other milk
products"
The big dairy companies turn
the farmers" " milk into butter and
dry skim milk, and sell these
manufactured products for one
third less than they claim is
necessary to charge for fluid
milk. Some low-income fami-
lies with many children are now
paying as much for milk as they
do for rent" said Senator
Powers.
Investigations in New York
City have proved that the high
profit in milk does not go to the
farmer. Competing dairy COM
panies have given sizable dis
counts to large retailers and in
stitutions despite a Supre G
Court decision in 1949 which
stated that any discount is Illegal
unless the seller can prove that
the full amount of the discount
is based on his actual savings in
cost"
Senator Powers added: eat
the present time on Beacon Hill,
/ have initiated legislation which.
if it becomes law, will save ap-
proximately $9,OOO,OO0 a year to
the consumer in the purchase of
milk by the individual buyer. At
every legislative hearing I have
attended on this matter l have
been badgered and misquoted as
The architect of a plan to destroy
the business man in the milk in
dustry; milk producers jam Bea-
con Hill to an oyerflowinF ca
pacity, yet the consumer is con-
spicuous for his absence.

does not end when you cast your
