GRESHAM. Or.. April 17. (Special.)
Startling Information was given at the
dairymen's meeting held here today for
the purpose of forming a producers pro
tective association. The result cam
near to being a victory for the middle
men who handle the dairy products of
the country tributary to Portland. Con
ditions In the dairies were declared to be
bad and advocates of a stock company
to handle milk obtained only the prom
ise of an association, which means little
except to get the dairymen together for
Improvement of methods and not to
Fifty Dairymen Present.
Fifty dairymen, representing almost
every part of Multnomah County, with
sprinkling from other localities met
in the Granite Hall with C. iC. Frits as
presiding officer and Theodore BUgger
as - secretary. Mr. Frits outlined the
plan In view, with a proposal to organise
co-operative stock company to sell
milk direct to the consumers, eliminat
ing the middleman and conserving all
profits to the members of the associa
tion. His plan was for every member
to become a stockholder and for the
company to rent a building in Portland
and Install a first -class plant. He said
there would be no difficulty in dispos
ing of all the products at good prices
ind sharing the profits among them
selves. He would require milk tickets to
be sold to consumers in advance to avoid
expense of collecting and also to prevent
losses from bad bills. He would place
all employes under bonds and asserted
that under the co-operative plan there
would be no city license to pay and that
nothing but the products of stockhold
ers would be handled. lie estimated the
cost of a plant which would handle 15
tons of milk a day to be about $3000.
Middleman's Idea Prevails.
John Lusher, head of the Portland
Dairy Association, and well-known as a
middleman who handles much of the
milk of Eastern Multnomah Couny. was
an Interested spectator, and. obtaining
permission to address the assembly, he
said he believed that Mr. Frits' ideas
were too far In advance of the require
ments of the dairymen, but he agreed
that the dairymen ahould form an
sociatlon, which soma of the radi
cals designated as a "mutual ad
miration society." Mr. Lusher idea
prevailed and he joined with the -
others in an effort to bring such an
association Into existence and was
elected as one of the committee on organisation.
Chairman Frits endeavored to obtain
contrary action but was oted down, al
though he made the assertion that th
producer now receives only 40 per cent
of the price of milk, while the distribu
ter gets the remaining 60 per cent.
trnest Schwedler. one of the largest
producers of milk In the Gresham dis
trict, favored the stock company plan
and said that fully one-third of the
cost of mill feed could be saved by
organisation. lie favored a big organ
ization and standing together on all
questlona affecting cost of production
and price of products.
If. E. Davis, manager of W. W. Cot
ton's big farm, said th present sys
tem was entirely wrong but he could
not agree to astock company, although
tne aairymen were at tne mercy or the
distributers and dealers to whom they
sold their milk. He agreed that a
saving could be made In purchase of
fee. on the co-operative plan, and
thought that an association could be
formed to remedy existing evils, but
that no change should be made In the
present manner of distribution for a
while at least.
Producer Held to Blame.
He said the producer waa to blame
for present conditions, as there is no
settled price for milk. He said that
nany producers were under obligations
to the dealers and that they could
not go Into a stock company without
violating contracts. Mr. . Davis waa
elected a member of the committee on
organization.
Dr. White, of the State Health De
partment, said that Chairman Frits
was tight in saying that Portland
wanted the best of fresh milk, and
that the dairymen now had a splendid
chance and should co-operate as other
producers are doing. He said the pro
ducer was to blame for existing un
sanitary conditions and that many
dairymen near the city could not or
would not comply with the laws. In
many place the water supply waa In
adequate. The situation was different.
he said, in Eastern Multnomah and
further away from the city in some
other directions. Speaking of tubercu
losis, he said that about 15.000 cows
had been tested from the herds that
supply Portland with milk and that
about 950 head had been killed. He
favored an organization as outlined
by Chairman Fritz, as the present
method was unsanitary and dangerous.
He promised that the State Board of
Health would make examinations of
milk for the association aud help it In
other ways free of cost.
Tuberculous Product Distributed.
C. W. Cochran, a Gresham dairyman.
declared that milk from tuberculous
cows waa going Into the city contin
ually. It waa gathered, he said, by
the collectors who went from house to
house In the employ of the distributers.
He added that he knew of cows being
sold for beef In Portland that had been
condemned under the tuberculin test.
They were killed on the farms and
sold to the small butchers. He made
these statements without qualification
and ssld he had undoubted proof.
Dr. White confirmed Mr. Cochran's
statements and cited an Instance when
a herd of healthy hogs, fed on offal
from slain cows suffering from dis
ease were condemned to the extent that
only nine out of 36 were sold for pork.
Dr. White admitted that he knew
the names of several offenders who
were selling tuburcular milk and dis
eased cows. He said that there was
much disease among cows near the
city and that it grew less in each five
mile circle further away until at a
distance of 25 or 30 miles the disease
was almost negligible.
He made the further statement that
Pasteurised milk in Oregon was a
"humbug of the worst kind."
A committee was then chosen, con
sisting of John Lusher. It. E. Davis.
