UTI SING O P VI MARKET -IS OPEN TO ALL Free Space Provided for Producers or Both City and Country; City Creameries Will Xot Sell, Say ; ing It Is Unfair to Retailer. A 'butter fight- between city cream tries and country creameries Is to be staged at the Municipal Fish Market on Fourth street if either or both sides wish to avail themselves of the oppor tunity to deal direct with the- con sumer. An aitangement to this effect was made yesterday by Mayor Baker, when lie announced that the two sides of the present butter fight may have free space at the fish market, where they could meet on common . ground. - The country creameries had asked the. city to go into the butter business and buy from them. They contended the city creameries were resorting to Jneans of putting them out of business. The Mayor, not being convinced that the country creameries are entirely Iblameless in the controversy, refused to put the city in the business at pres-. nt. but agreed that the country cream eries could .have free space in the fish market - where they could sell di rect to the consumer, provided all sani tary requirements were . met. same of fer ' was extended to the (creameries. ' : City Creameries Object. The city The country creameries said would put butter on the market terday afternoon. They failed, may do so tomorrow or Tuesday. they yea hut The city creameries' say they will not ac cept the offer, because to do so would iho'.-unfair to grocery stores handling -utter legitimately. The country creameries also sell to stores. In the meantime Mayor Baker has asked the City Milk Commission to make an investigation and determine nvhere blame lies and make suggestions In the est Interest of the public. The Milk Commission comprises Jlenry K. Xteed, W. I- Brewster and Mrs. W. B. Ayer. In the controversy -the contention of f he . country creameries as organized Under the name of the Oregon Co-operative Dairy Exchange, is that the eity creameries are attempting to put them out of business by refusing to liandle prices in such manner as will enable them to buy butterfat from the farmers. The farmers, they contend, ere being offered ever increasing prices for butterfat by condensaries as well as by city plants without correspond ing increases in butter prices and un less country creameries are able to ray more for butterfat they will be put out of business finally by loss of their source of butterfat supply. They con tend the city creameries are forcing the Issue by importing butter from outside states and refusing to buy locally. Advance 3"ot "Justified. The city creameries on the other hand contend they are looking after the interests of the butter business by re fusing to advance prices to the con sumer. They say an advance is not Justified and that it would place Port land's market in advance of any other market in the United States. An ad vance to 60 cents a pound retail would, they contend, drive thousands of users to butter substitutes or to non-use of liutter,nd would disrupt the business. The city plants lay the blame to brokers who buy -from the country creameries and sell to the city plants. The -city creameries say that a short tVtue ago the brokers demanded an ad vance to 47 cents a pound for country creamery butter unwrapped. Other ad vances had been met, but the city creameries balked at the 47-cent de mand and this started the trouble. The interest of the brokers, the city plans say, is to increase their brokerage fees. Country Hatter In Storagre. , The country creameries have. .not sold butter v to the city plants since,, the brokers holding for 47 cents and the oity creameries refusing to" pay it. Country, butter is said to have gone into oold storage as a result. The city plants say the brokers have stirred up ii agitation and are trying through he city's prestige to get a new outlet for the country butter, which is rapidly accumulating in storage. The city plants have been importing butter from outside states to make up the eupply withdrawn from the coun try. They have been placing thi3 In Portland, it is said, for 45 cents a pound and selling for 48 cents. This, along with the butter made by the plants from butterfat they receive direct from farmers, has been sold to the trade, for 4S cents. They say con riitions do not warrant increases and they refuse to handle the country creamery butter at 47 cents, leaving only 1 cent a pound for haidling iButterfat Is cheaper in outside states because of over supply. l'nrmcr Gets (iood Prices. Since the fight started the farmer lias been getting rapidly increasing prices for his butterfat. The price 1aa been jumping up because not only the country creameries and city cream eries but also the condenseries are fighting for the supply. The price -?i&id bv the citv creameries is 51 cents a. pound, while the country planfs have iTone to 52 cents. The city plants -say they have reached the limit. The price of butterfat in September. 1916, was Tl cents.. One hundred pounds of butterfat makes approximately 120 pounds of butter. This was sold for S:t cents a pound In 1K16. Now, the " city, creameries say they are paying 61 cents a pound for butterfat and selling butter at 48 cents a pound. The 1916 rate left them a margin of Jl.tO per 100 pounds of butterfat, while the present margin is $6.60. Jn the meantime, they say, cost of han dling has jumped by reason of ad vanced wages and materials. Mayor Baker says he has taken neu tral ground in the fight, giving both sides a chance to use the city's space and prestige and giving the public the benefit.. ENGINEERS RECEIVE ADVICE Professor C.
