Its plan Is to set the entire 100 per cent and thus be able to control the market and name the price." - - To The Journal Monday, Alma y X. Katz, secretary of the league, said the organization officials had: not been asked to give their views on the sltuaUon by Investigator Mackay. - Mackays report ' says i "As - to pro duction costs. July, 1919, to July, 1820. Alma D. Katz left with the writer a statement of whlcn the following Is an exact copy."

"They state there Is a surplus of many gallons a day. They state the law of supply and demand does not enter into the situa tion."

Kats. however, informed The Journal lionday : "The pasturage this year is , worse than it has ever been, and If "our cows were fed only oh pasturage they would be producing- only .one-half as much milk as is now produced. I am about to call a mass meeting of dairymen to dis cuss this, and other points In the milk price debate." MA YOB GETS BE POST ' Mayor Baker received the report just at noon.
