Th& Quality" Store or- Portland ALMA D. KATZ WITNESS Creameries Said to Itcmove Part or Cream, Leaving Enough to Comply With Law. The difference between "cows' milk" distributed in the city by pro ducers and "wagon milk" delivered by Portland creameries lies in the fact that in one case the butter fat content is left In the milk and in the other cream is removed by a process of standardization which leaves the butter fat percentage above city re quirements, but less than the average of milk not standardized, declared Alma D. Katz. president of the Oregon Dairymen's Co-operative league, tes tifvinsr before Circuit Judge McCourt voKtprdav In the injunction suit brought against local distributors by the league. Testimony had shown that producer-distributors, many of them league members, operated 132 wagons In Portland and the large creamery distributors only 60 wagons. In most Instances the -former received me highest prices. It waa said. Asked why this should be true, Mr. Katz replied. "I don't believe the consumer would pay 2 or 3 cents more for his milk If there -was not a anierence in the milk. I know that In my own house -we pay 18 cents for milk from a producer-distributor, whereas we could get milk from large distribu tors for 15 cents. But there is a dir lerence. Part of Cream Removed. "In the large distributing plants or creameries, the milk goes into a standardization plant and part -of the cream is removed and sold as sweet cream on the market. I am not criti cising the value ai pasteurizing the milk or the necessity of standardlz ing it by mixing milk rich in butter tat with, milk of slight butter fat content, yet, the fact remains that analyses I had made during the war when I was on the food commission showed that the butter fat in the distributors' milk averaged 3.4 or 3.5 per cent and that of the producers over 4 per cent. "The statute requires a minimum of 3.3 per cent butter fat In the milk. I believe the average percentage In milk delivered to the distributor by the producer Is at least 4 per cent. Milk from my own herd, approximat ing a ton a day, runs 4.5 to 4.6 per cent butter fat. When the average butter fat in milk delivered by dis tributors Is far under 4 per cent, cream must have been removed while the milk was in the hands of the middleman." Mr. Katz testified that the dairy men in the league did not desire to enter the Portland field as distribu tors and duplicate the routes now established by the creameries. Not All Facts Known. "Then you are not really interested. as you have claimed. In shortening the route between the producer and consumer?" asked Chriss Bell, at torney for the defense. "Oh. yes I am," responded Mr. Katz, "but I do not believe that- a duplica tion of work at this time would shorten it." Mr. Katz admitted that several as ertions in advertisements published by the league early in the campaign did not square up with the facts, saying that he did not know all angles of the situation as thoroughly then as he does now. "Then you didn't know all the facts in the case when these statements were made In the newspapers?" he was asked. "Evidently not," he conceded. Mr. Katz asserted that he did not favor all the dairvmen nt.rinr .k league, saying that he did not want B anything savoring of a monopoly. Should such a monopoly result, he maid, he would approve of it only if public body was appointed to fix xnilk prices justified by conditions. He testified, that he had always favored permanent milk commission to regu late the milk supply and distribu tion. In the course of the hearing, a ruestion as to the accuracy of some information presented elicited mark from Judge McCourt to the miiecr. mat neither side came into ' court :with all facts straight. Lawyen Have Tilt ""Well, we started In Ma !, Jionor, by saying that the pot -was wuing tne Kettle black," commented .a-norney xseu. "I'm glad you admit you ar la.iir retorted Dan J. Malarkey. attorney lor th dairymen. ." couldn't help it from associa tion witn you, replied Mr. Bell. This was one of numerous m k tween attorneys which have marked me progress oi the hearing. F L.

W. Pomeroy, manager of the Ore ron Dairymen's By-Prodn tlon. controlled by the league, testi fied that the league had never poured out surplus milk to keen nr. The hearing, by which the league seeks to prevent the distributors from continuing a campaign to persuade v. .v , "reaK tne'r contracts with the league, adjourned yesterday unt.l Tuesday morning. MOONSHINERS FINED $250 Prisoners Intimate They Were Only Working for Wages. Bob Yugan and Mike Basovich, ar rested in connection with the large till discovered at Newberg some time ago and destroyed by federal agents were fined 250 each by Federal Judge Bean yesterday.
