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

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

- 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.

"This thing of granting paroles is
getting to be a farce. My experience

DEVELOPMENT OF
ALASKA. DEPENDS
ON CHEAP FREIGHT
Seattle, Waah., July 23.---(I. N. S.)
The primary need for the real de
velopment of Alaska is cheap ocean
transportation ' to take people in and
bring products out said Secretary
of the Interior John B. Payne, who.
with. Secretary: of the Navy Joseph us
"Daniels, is here today after a two
weeks' inspection- trip of Southeast
em and Southwestern Alaska.
, There has been too much conservation
In the northern territory." Secretary
Payne continued- "Conservation In the
states is desirable, hut what Alaska
needs js more men and women and fewer
government- regulations." ,
Speaking of , the proposed coaling sta
tion on the Aleutian Islands, Payne said
the , matter Js now up to the United
States shipping board. Both cabinet
members are enthusiastic over the prog
ress, made on the government: railroad
and over the prospects for further de
velopment i of the great coal fields of
the north, j
Secretary Daniels declared, the soal
deposits v of Matanuska are as good a
the Pocahontas product,; which la-valued
highly for naval purposes.
Secretary Daniels said there is J 1.000,
000 in. the navy!bill for the development
of the "Matanuska fields and that he has
Instructed Commander Dowllng, who Is
now at Chlckaloon, to proceed . actively
with , the .mining , operations. Between
4000 and 5000 tons of this coal already
has been mined,
; "One does not think of Alaska as an
agricultural territory,"- said ; Secretary
Daniels, ' "but I saw wheat growing six
feet tall and fields of fine -potatoes, oats
and other : crops. We had a 10-course
dinner at -Anchorage 'composed almost
entirely of Alaska products. -
