'FRIDAY, " JULY 23. 1S20. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON MILK COHTIlOvEllSY Al'AITQ THFDPTIIIJM OF MAYOR BAKER . Official action to prevent further increases in- the price of milk to Portland consumers awaited Friday the return from Salem of Mayor Ba ker, following Jhe statement of United State Attorney Lester "IV. Humphreys that he had been unable to find sufficient evidence to warrant prosecutions of any ofthe, dairying interests for profiteering or violating he ,antl-tru'nt laws. 'I --. .V ' Just what action can be taken by the city no one around the city hall is pre pared to say. Mayor-Baker had confi dence that the arovernment -would find some way of solving the. difficulty, and last week admitted he did not know which way to turn In the case, should the government decide it could not prose cute. . DAiBTMEJf SEE COMBINE That the Portland 'milk distributors are engaged in a determined effort to smash the Orerron Cooperative Dairy men's league is indicated in an affidavit prepared Friday by Albert S. HaU, gen eral manager of the league, telling of a meeting of dairymen Wednesday night at the Red Rock dairy, near Tigard. , At this meeting, declares Hall. Harry West, one of the owners of the dairy, ad dressing 20 ranchers who sell him milk, said . the Nestles Food . Products com pany. Swift Co. and other big con ' denser were willing -to go the limit financially In smashing the dairymen's organization. i Refuting this was the statement made Friday by C. M. Oregoryj spokesman for 14 of the big Portland milk distributors, as follows:-- " " "We have no quarrel with the dairy men, nor have -we any quarrel with any bona fide producers' association which operates to the mutual ; benefit of all rconysrned and Is not used to further the selfish ends of the promoters.'-- Klaboratlng on .this statement, which ' terminated a long letter addressed to The Journal, Gregory said the distribu i tors were not refusing to accept milk from members of. the league, but they were refusing" to pay the price of $3.60 a hundred . pounds demanded by. the or ganization.", ' i .V i- ..l CITIZESSARE IXMSTEKT, 77 -- Portland, cltlsens, upon whom after all falls the brunt of the fight, areinsist ent that the city do something, as Is evidenced by the numerous telephone calls and letters received by the mayor and the commissioners. The war between the" distributors and producers continues vigorously, with the former refusing to pay the dairymen's league price of $3.60 a hundred pounds and thus shutting out of the market much of the "milk' formerly ..comlnjr through these 'Channels, i With a great surplus on its hands that normally would be sold to the consumers, the league' is preparing to open its own distribution service. . . , 1 - -r- - ' Albert S. Hall, , general manager ' of the dairymen's league, said Friday that delivery of milk and cream direct to the consumers will be started by. the organi sation within three weeks, -. - " "As fast as-we can perfect, our deliv ery organization and get ; trucks started we will institute tur own system of dis tribution," Raid Hall. 'We are already delivering eight , tona of milk a day to the restaurants from- our establishment at Fifth and Couch streets," : Hall also said he had received a report from the Associated Dairymen of Cali fornia describing the activities of Frank Glass, an official of the Nestles epr-' potation, who ia now In Portland, dairy. mAl say,' directing the fight of the dis tributors against the league. . , Glass denies participation in this fight, claiming to be an innocent bystander, but he is to be found daily in room 638 of the Multnomah hotel, where Gregory, representing the distributors, also holds forth.-: - . vr, -'- -.i" .:--' i 1ETECTITES MAKE BEPOBT , - Class is .Identified in. the report as representing the interests lighting' co operative ' movements ' of all : kinds .. in California. The report was made by a detective-agency. ! ' , At the meeting Wednesday 'night of the dairymen at the Ked Rock farm, near Ttgard, Hall charges in his affi davit. Harry West made the statement that the league was run completely by non-producers, that ' no authority In its affairs was extended the members and that, the league had done nothing of value and Its influence was destructive. The affidavit credits West with saying he knew the league would be a failure for three reasons : That the farmers would not stick together in an organiza tion, for one : reason, and that the big packers were working to smash it, for another, : : t - j . - - West further said he desired his ship pers who belonged, to quit the league and he would guarantee to protect any of them against law suits resulting from their breaking of contracts. The dealers In dairy products would aid them in every way in getting free ifrom the league; West ia credited with saying, be cause they realised the league must be broken before it became strong enough to control dairy products prices. ' On the other side of the controversy, Gregory accused the league of getting new members and throwing their prod uct on a Portland market already over loaded. The league had refused to arbi trate, he declares, holding solidly for the price of 33.60 per hundred, with promise of an inciease In 'September. . Officials of the league had approached two Portland distributors, according to Gregory, and offered to supply them milk for not more than 50 cents above the prices paid by the condensors. al though at present the league is1 charging Portland distributors $1 a hundred over condensory. prices. This move was made, says Gregory, in order to cause defection in the ranks of the distributors. War -Time Rule for Sugar Not Necessary, Says U. S. Attorney iFear that the war-time sugar rule will be put into force again has practically been expelled, according? to United, States Attorney Lester Humphreys. , t'Sugar is lowering in price and ap parently becoming more, plentiful, there fore I see no reason why we should re turn' to the wartime rule," he said. About a month ago Special Assistant Attorney General Arnim W. Riley of New - York" vtated that : an acute sugar shortage in the nation necessitated the drastic conservation measure be again employed: Humphreys says he 'has not been requested by the attorney general to make provision for such a measure. JUDGE REFUSES TO GRANT MEN PAROLE II. E. Pennell Better ' Slight improvement In' the condition of Harry E. Pennell, prominent lumberman and, shipbuilder was reported early Fri day afternoon, at his , home, 317 Cornell road. He is reported to be renting easier than on Thursday. Hla condition, how ever, is 'still considered critical. Pennell is president of the Coast - Shipbuilding company and manager of the North Pa cific Lumber company. . SENTENCE FOLLOWS "This thing of granting paroles is getting to be a farce. My experience on the bench in Multnomah ebdnty is that the parole system la "a fail ure and that 75 per cer t- o : these cases cpme back on second offenses.
