Thls litigation Is only another
development in the protracted wrang
ling between the dairymen and dis
tributors, which dates from the or
ganisation of the Oregon Dairymen s
League last August. The league was
organised bv the producing dairymen
aa a central agency for handling their
milk and cream. Today the organisa
tion haa a membership that represents
80 per cent of the output of these
dairy products in this community.
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. They

Says Alleged Embezzler.

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.
