Washington, July 22.i (U. P.) A nation-wide roundup of more than 100,000 draft deserters will be started soon by the war department as a final effort to bring to Justice men who failed to apswer the call to America's draft army during the war, Adjutant General Peter O. Har ris said today. : - y The ; war department has been pre paring a mammoth list of names of men who can be classed as actual draft de serters. J This list, expected to be com pleted soon," was estimated to contain names of 100,000 "slackers. :t . ; Operatives of the detection agencies of the federal, state and municipal gov ernments are' to be called on to assist In the round up, it was said. The final list of draft deserters will be published ; as the first step in the round up. .' ' ' : Fifty dollars . reward will be offered for delivery of a deserter. . Every man on the war department's slacker list will be subject to military court martial, Oeneral Harris said. They will be In the same category, as rwln B. Bergdoll,- brother of the more no torious deserter, Grover Cleveland Berg doll, and who surrendered himself yes terday after being a fugitive since 19 IS.

PRODUCERS NOT BOBBED "If there was any Indication of ex cessive profits the distributors could be prosecuted under ? the Lever act, the United States attorney continued, ' "but their profits are not excessive. And on the- other hand I do not think the pro ducers are being robbed. They have al ways got about half of what the con sumer has paid for miHc" : The inference to be gained from Hum phreys' statement is that the producers league. and the producer-distributors. If not exempted under the agricultural classifications of : the federal statutes . governing price fixing, might be open to prosecution. -' -.- - - Humphreys added that he had not made up his imind until Thursday morn ing from the evidence laid before him that the profits of the distributors in Portland were not excessive. r The United States attorney notified Mayor Baker Thursday afternoon of his findings. " , SALXS CUTS PROFITS Evidence gained by government agents showed ; that while the distributors do handle their product to the consumers 'along arbitrary price lines, a considera ble portion of their profit is cut down by sales to grocers, made at 2 cents a quart under the price to the consumers. The investigation was ; conducted in three phases, first as to the situation regarding the distributors, then the."prt ducers and finally the producer-distributors. Among the latter it( was found their prices to the consumers frequently were higher than the prices of the dis tributors who secure their, profit from the producers. The government agents ... found that 196 vehicles are used : for distributing milk in Portland, and of, these the producer-distributors are tn the large ma jority, with 131 wagons and trucks. The distributors employ 65 vehicles. J NEXT STEP AWAITED With the government investigation out of the way and the same conditions In regard to high prices remaining, the next step to be eaken by the city authori ties is awaited with interest. - It has been suggested that the city establish a milk commission and Insti tute its1 own system of delivery, but the idea is not regarded as practicable be cause the ; venture would require - much time to get started and large expense would be involved. The city council has no price 'regulat ing powers. ; Frank Glass of San Francisco, who has been in the city for more than a week In the - interests of the -Alpine Evaporated Cream company, a subsidiary of .the Nestle corporation, has been often men tioned this week as having been brought here to work with the distributors In the war now merrily waging against the producers' organization. t - Glass, however, vigorously protests against any such charges and maintains he is only in-the city In the Interests of his-firm. He is assistant to the presi dent of the Alpine company. CONNECTION DENIED "I am In the position of an innocent bystander, brought Into this discussion against my will," he said Thursday. "I have no connection With the controversy here, nor has my company. Beyond that I have nothing to say at this time." The Alpine company owns condenseries at 'McMinnville and Bandon, and Glass has been out of the city much this week visiting those places. : Glass would not say how long he Intends remaining in Portland, but reiterated the statement that his visit here has nothing to do with the local fight, f He did admit, however, that he had talked with some of the distributors about conditions. Albert S. Hall, general manager of the dairymen's cooperative league, declares that Glass is here to handle the cam paign of the milk dealers ' against the dairymen and that the dealer-condesor interests . are aligned to crush the co operative organization of the producers. BASIS OF CHARGE -y, The basis of Hall's charges was a mes sage received from the associated dairy men of California, which identifies Glass as the general fighting man for a group of milk packers and centrallaers against the dairy organizations of California for the past '- two years. i The position of the dairyman-producer through it all is reflected in a' statement made . Thursday by D. G. Lilly, rancher of Washington county, in which he says : "We dairymen who are up against the real thing can Bee the mistake the city people are now making by kicking about paying a living price for milk. I have been dairying for 12 years and have a herd of ,15 cows. My herd Is the only herd In this part of Washington county that has not been reduced 50 per cent or more since 1916.- Heifer calves are being knocked in the head -as fast as they are born so that calves are almost a curiosity on the farm. 4 "The time is coming, sure as fate, when Portland will go milk hungry. My cost of production is 4 a hundred pounds, and we are forced to sell to the condenser for 2.80. If this keeps up my herdwill be reduced the same as my neighbors" HANDS H.
