Under the plan of operation each mem ber delivers bis milk to the league and by contract authorises the league to sell the product to distributors or otherwise in the market and make all collections. ' .... x The members of the league oined In the agitation for the appointment of a special commission by the Mayor to investigate and determine the cost of production of milk and at the same time fix the rates at which it should be retailed to the consumer. This commission established prices which gave the dairyman more than he had been receiving. This had the effect of reducing the margin under which the distributor had been operating. The league accepted" the findings of the commission and has undertaken to maintain those prices. - "Ever since," said Mr. Katz. president of the Oregon Dairymen's League, "some of the distributors have done everything within their power to disrupt our organisation.

JITNEY ELOPEMENT FORD IS SUBMISSIVE 'Played Cards and Lost," Says Alleged Embezzler. OTHER CHARGES MAY COME Man Brought Back From New Slex ico May Bo Held for Violation of White Slave Act and for Being; Slacker, Report . Says. "I played my cards in my own way and lost, so here I am; It's a great life If you don't weaken.". With this "devil-may-care" attitude. Homer P. Ford, alleged embezzler of $10,U00 from his former employer, the Peninsula Lumber Company, shrugged his shoulders significantly, smiled through the steel grating of a County Jail cell and announced his readiness to meet whatever charges might be made against him. In the custody of Deputy Sheriff Rodney Hurlburt, Ford was brought back yesterday morning from Socorro, New Mexico, where he was apprehended two weeks ago after being a fugitive from justice for more than 11 months. It was early last February that he fled from the state after his alleged de falcation of 10,000 from the Peninsula Lumber Company through the medium of two alleged forged checks. It was learned yesterday that the charge of embezzlement or forgery is not the only one that young Ford will be compelled to face, as the Government is investigating one or two serious accusations, including an alleged in fraction of the Mann white slave act and a charge of being a slacker. Ford admits that he failed to register for the selective draft although he is Just 30 years old. He expressed a keen desire to register as quickly as pos sible. In fact, according to the Deputy Sheriffs, he showed more concern over the Federal matter than the state charge on which he was returned to Portland. Ford is said to have deserted his wife and small child and eloped with a pretty young woman when he left Port land last February. neT'" " cuss the defalcation charge, merely saying that he "guessed" the state knew what it was doing. 3 NAVAL SAILORS -PERISH Men Lost Overboard From Battle ships During Recent Gale. wiCWTVrtTnV. .Tan.
