LEAGUE IS INCORPORATED
18
Meeting Is Called for September
2 2, When New Members Will Be
Admitted Co-operative Buy
ing and Selling Planned.
Milk and butterfat producers In the
territory adjacent to Portland have or
ganized to obtain better prices for their
products. Articles of Incorporation of
th Oregon Dairymen's League were
filed at Salem yesterday. Officers of
the organization will be elected at a
meeting of producers September 22, at
the Public Library in Portland, to
which meeting all persons actually en
gaged In producing milk and butterfat
aje Invited.
The organization Is the outgrowth
of a mass meeting of producers held
recently at the Imperial Hotel, at which
the reasons for bo many dairymen quit
ting business and so many others re
ducing their herds, were gone into and
& committee appointed to Investigate
and recommend remedies.
It Is this committee, comprising Alma
Katz, Whitney L. Boise. H. Thlessen,
J W. Pomroy and W. K. Newell, that
has brought about the new organiza
tion, which is intended to correct many
evils, . according to Mr. Katz, who is
spokesman for the committee. Mr.
Newell, who is a member of the com
tWttee. is assistant to W. B. Ayer, local
representative of Food Administrator
Hoover.
Higher Prices Declared Needed.
Mr. Katz declared last night that the
purposes of the organization are en
tirely altruistic, being to rescue the
dairy Industry and not being for the
purpose of boosting prices unnecessar
ily. "Of course," saldi Mr. Katz, "the
dairymen will have to get better prices
for their milk and butterfat. If they
were getting prices commensurate with
the cost of production there would be
no occasion to organize at this time."
Mr. Katz says the organization will
take in all actual producers who wish
to Join. "We hope," he says, "to solve
a good deal of the trouble and expense
by all buying our supplies of various
kinds together through one buying
manager and by marketing together.
This should cut out a great deal of
waste which will lessen the present
burdens.
"We expect to Improve conditions for
dairymen by educating them to produce
better milk, which will enable them to
get better prices for the amount of
money expended In the production. Ed
ucation along improved, methods Is to
be one of the essentials of the organ
ization. Feed Price Is Factor.
"We have no fight with the buyers
of milk and butterfat. The only thing
is the dairymen are not getting a
living price for their product and the
prices must be Increased to them.
Otherwise Portland and vicinity will
have no dairy industry. With the
producers organized they will be In
position to protect themselves.
"The first thing for the organization
Is to ascertain what the cost of pro
duction is or should be on the basis of
the price of feed and other things en
tering into milk production. When
this is determined the price to be paid
for the milk can be fixed. The price
of course will depend on many condi
tions which may differ in different
localities. Quality will be the main con
sideration, the same as It is at pres
ent." The organization will have a board
of directors of 25 members so selected
that each dairying district will have
one or two representatives. This
board will select an executive commit
tee of five members who will run the
affairs of the organization.
GAS CHANGE OPPOSED
COMMISSIONER MANN WANTS CITY
' TO PROTEST DETERIORATION.
Mr. La Roche, After Hurried Ira-r-eati Ra
tion, Declares Plan of Company
I Equivalent to Higher Rate.
' The city probably will interpose ob
jections to the request of the Portland
Oas & Coke Company for permission
from the Public Service Commission to
reduce the standard of- oil gas supplied
by the company to consumers in Port
land. . City Commissioner Mann will ask
the City Council this morning for the
appointment of himself and City Attor
ney LaRoche to appear in the hearing.
City Attorney - LaRoche completed a
quick investigation yesterday and gave
Commissioner Mann a report in which
he says the proposal of the company
to reduce the quality of the gas Is
equivalent to increasing the price. Mr.
LaRoche urges the City Council to
Interpose objections to the proposal.
He says in part:
"As the time fixed for the filing of
objections, if any there shall be, to the
modification of the above stated rules
is short we have consulted with the
Bureau of Standards and report as fol
lows: 'A British thermal unit is that
quantity of heat which Is sufficient to
raise the temperature of one pound of
water one degree Fahrenheit."
"City Chemist Dulin informs us that
a reduction In the B. T. U's can only
be compensated for by a reduction in
price, as the consumer who is using
gas for fuel pays for the heat units,
and when they are reduced and the
price maintained he is receiving less
for the price."
