Safeway in Virginia
Increases Milk Price
! Cent Under Protest

Safeway stores raised the price
of Lucerne milk a half cent a
quart in nearby Virginia stores
today under protest, and limited
that legal battle might be
forthcoming against the new
higher price.
The price increase was forced
by new retail minimum milk
prices ordered by the Virginia
State Milk Commission yeSter-
day: 22.5 cents a quart for milk
sold in stores. and 24.5 cents
a quart for milk delivered at
home.
Only Lucerne Affected.
The new minimum prices are
a half cent above the old min
imums. Most dairies have been
selling milk a half cent above
the old minimums in nearby
Virginia since mid-June. Only
Lucerne had continued to sell at
the old minimum of % cents a
quart.
Virginia law permits the sale
of milk above minimum prices,
but not below them.
The higher minimums were
requested by a majority of the
Washington area dairies to Off
set the effects of wage increases
recently awarded drivers. Safe
way Stores. however, had asked
that the minimum price for milk
sold in stores remain unchanged.
Arthur B. Hanson, attorney
for Safeway, advised the milk
commission by letter last night
that Safeway would comply with
the new higher prices under
protest"
CriticiZes Commission.
"The economics of this order
are so patiently invalid that it is
difficult for us to understand
how the commission could have
reached its conclusions" said
Mr.. Hanson. I'VE are taking
this entire matter under advise
ment with a view toward future
action"
MIR. Hanson said he was writ
ing the milk commission on in
Structions of Edgar Balshaw,
division manager of Safeway
Stores here. He said Mr.. Bal
shaw asked him to protest 'in
the strongest terms possible this
inequitable situation which has
forced the company to raise its
prices in the face of irrefutable
evidence pointing out that this
price increase was not necessary
in store sales"

conscience that I had kept him
Gov. Warren) off the Supreme
