The reader can imagine how
naiiiful it must lie to tin; dairy
men to lir wagged about by tin
tail end of the industry, with tin
aliove results.
Tu produce lit sueh n loss as
the dairymen are now taring is
ruinous. No other industry enuld
absorb sueh a loss. The dairy
man alisnrliH it by working lunger
hours, by working every memlier
uf the family long hours without
eoiiipensatiuii, nml by disregard
iug interest mi invest incut.
Itelief is possible here nml else
where, as it w as made possible in
Tillamook by organization. The
Oregon Dairymen's League pro
vides sueh tin organization. It
has already produced results in
the market milk situation. The
machinery is in motion, and it re
mains for the dairymen to dem
onstrate their ability to organize
NiiHieienlly to demand fair play.
If ilairymen are prosperous all
the numerous lines dependent, up
on it will prosper. The league
deserves the moral support of ev

minutes later another crew tried

We followed the Huns until the
10th when wc were strongly lo

we again drove tlu in out in the
attack that I wrote about in the
first part of the letter.
In this attack, myself and an
other man were nil that came thru
