Both sides are willing to sdhere to the findings of the com mission and the members of the com mission as representing the people of j the city of Portland should aim to bring report and recommendations for an equitable settlement, which will not tend to ruin the Industry and which will be fair to the public.' Distributor Write to Major. In a letter received by the mayor yesterday from the distributors, it nas agreed that any reduction gained in the. price of milk from the producer would be transferred to the consumer. This letter was referred to the com mission. The meeting was of short duration. but with facts presented today it is expected the commission will begin active work. Both the producers and distributors are anxious to have a re port prior to April 1. when it is hoped to put a new price of milk into effect. If the commission finds it impossible to report by this date, it is probable that the recommended price, if a de crease, will be retroactive to April 1. On Account of the Death of & W.
