The first step toward investigating
and settling the controversy between
milk producers and milk distributors J
of this city was taken yesterday,
when the milk commission appointed
by Mayor Baker effected organiza
tion at a meeting In the mayor's
office.
Inability of directors of the Oregori
Dairymen's league to procure a rep
resentative willing to serve on the
commission lea A. M. Work, president
of the Portland Damascus Milk com
pany and distributors' representative :
on the commission to volunteer ma
resignation, leaving a commission of
three, Dr. E H. Fence, William Corn
ioot and J. Y. Richardson.
Data to Be Presented.
Representatives of both producers
and distributors were instructed to
prepare and present all data apper
taining to the controversy to the com
mission" at 1 o'clock today, when the
commission will meet In the city hall.
The commission also instructed both
(actions to name representatives on
whom the commission could call if
desirous of obtaining information not
contained in the presentation to be
made today.
Dr. Pence was elected chairman.
Prior to the organization meeting.
Mayor Baker explained that the pro
ducers and distributors after nu
merous conferences could not agree
upon the future price of milk and be
cause of the unsettled condition of
the industry the consumers were the
heavy losers.
"In appointing this commission."
explained the mayor, "it should be
understood that both sides are ready
to present their claims. The con
sideration of the matter should not
be a long-drawn-out affair, but should
be speedy. 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.

NEWPORT. Or.. March 29. (Spe
cial. The run of herring in Yaquina
Bay this month has been so great
that the fisherm-jn have been fishing
only two or three days a week. The
berrinff are frozen and stored to be
used later in the year for halibut bait
and are not canned or pickled for eat
inr purposes. m
The capacity of the two ice plants
n Yaquina bay totals about 100 tens,
but It is possible to freeze only nine
tons a day. The fishermen work in
pairs and receive IVi cents a pound
for their catch. The halibut fisher
men buy these fish later for 3 cents,
the plants doin the work only to
protect the halibut industry later.
George Harvtg, a lifelong fisherman
of two continents, states that Yaquina
bay herrings -ire known as the flat
variety, hav.ins less fat than the Nor
way herrinK. which cannot De frpzen.
He says' that Yaquina bav herring
could be pickled or canned and that
when he was at San Pedro, Ca.. he
watched them canning small herring
and labeling them sardines.
The largest catth by any pair of
fishermen in one night has been ten
tons, netting $300 to them. Catches
of five tons are common.
