The raid was made by Federal Agents
E. Wolf and M. T. Burnett . and
Sheriff Wilson and deputies :f

name of Wiley Knlgtaten and a woman
aid to be Mrs. Beulah. Knighten

and woman who. are known to have been
at the place .for some weeks had disap
peared. Knighten said they had gone on

"(July H at this place. Shipping bills
: were found for shipments to Spokane,

location of the Smoke house Is about
half way between the Oswego public

The stills had a capacity of three gal

BOOMED TO FAILURE

California- Dairymen's association is
stronger than ever despite the efforts of
Glass and his, employers.; i" v -

the organisation of ' farmers marketing
organisations." - i; 1 "
The letter of Colonel Welnstock In full
follows: . . j .
Walter K. Pierce,! President, I State
Taxpayers' League, Portland : It,
I have been afforded an opportunity
to review the conditions In your city in
connection with the milk situation. .
I .note that a Sitter war is being
waged against the Dairymen's associa
tion by the Portland: milk distributors
and the owners of private creameries.
I also note that Frank, Glass has
seemingly been imported from California
to conduct such anti-dairymen's war.
It seems to be simply a case of Cali
fornia milk history repeating Itself in
Oregon.
Glass is Quoted in one of your local
papers' as savin that the creamery
concern he represents in Oregon id very
willing to deal with individual dairymen,
but not with the Dairymen's association.
This is not an unnatural attitude, - The
milk distributor and the private cream
ery owner feel that : they can drive a
better bargain with the individual
dairyman than with a dairyman's asso
ciation. So the association Is fought
accordingly.
WHICH IS PREFERRED I
The question arises, which system Is
more in interest of milk consumer.. indi
vidual or collective selling on the part
of the dairyman? -14 in the. long run,
the consumer is as well off under the
one system as under the other, then he
is not concerned in the issue and it be
comes to . him a matter of Indifference
how the dairyman markets his milk,
whether he does so Individually or col
lectively through an association, i i
- Experience, hower,:in. California and
elsewhere, has shown that the consumer
is much concerned in this marketing
question. He is much concerned' be
cause it is of the highest importance to
him as a consumer that the producer
shall be kept producing. He will go on
doing so only when he can make a liv
ing. If production becomes unprofitable,
the producer quits producing and the
consumer either goes hungry orpaye
prohibitive prices, because of greatly
reduced production. Some people have
a notion, and the private interests leave
nothing undone to spread such a notion,
that when farmers get together they can
combine' and name any. old price they
please for their product; which the con
sumer must pay. There are two things,
however, which make such monopolistic
policy not oly. Impossible on the part of
the farmer, but unprofitable as - well.
Dairymen, for example, cannot control
the price of milk unless they own all
the cows in the country, and practically
all the- land as well. Otherwise, the
moment it becomes known that the Ore
gon dairymen, for example, were getting
rich quickly, numbers would rush into
Oregon dairying from -everywhere and
the greatly increased milk production
would soon lower prices and reduce pro
ductive profits.' Furthermore, , If the
dairymen in their 4 greed ; for i excess
profits were to force prices up ab
normally, - it. would react in lessening
consumption, and in thus increasing sur
plus milk, which would In turn, kill
profits.
HATCBAL LAWS BULB :i f
The law of supply and demand works
out in dairying precisely as It does in
other activities. If the producer fails
to receive living prices, he quits pro
ducing, the supply is lessened, and the
price of the lessened supply to thus
forced upward at the eexpense.of the
consumer. ' If the producer tries to be
a monopllst and force prices up, so as
to make a big profit, others Jump Into
the game, production is increased, prices
lower, and the attempted monopoly is
defeated. . --a-... ., -, "
- Supply and demand make the price to
the consumer. It is, therefore, in the
interest of the consumer that there shall
always be a good supply. In the long
run, it makes a big difference to the
Consumer whether the dairyman gets
the most or the least out of .the con
sumer s dollar. If the producer gets the
least out of the -consumer's dollar and
the distributor rets the most, it makes
Jt harder for the producer to, live, and
?.r,r. "J!?' i..lf th Produoar gets the
.Possible share of the consumer's

standarda. . and thus, without putting
the 4east burden on the consumer, re
ceive the largest possible share of he
consumer's dollar, f thus more nearly in
suring continued-production. ,
PROGRESS OPPOSED , , , '
The milk distributors and the private
creameries are not more to be blamed
for trying to 'kill off fanners "market
ing associations than the cab drivers
were to be blamed "for trying to keep
the modern taxi out of the market, or
tr-.e old-time - compositors were to be

toes, and that particular somebody will
naturally try to stop such progress. In
this particular instance, -progress is
treading on the toes of the mlik dis
tributor and the private creamery
owner, and they are going ot tight to
tne limit to postpone sucn progress
loner as Dossible. S
as
r Frank Glass tried to stop such prog
ress in California in connection with
the Dairymen's association. He did it
as the . paid agent of the private in-
terests, not for the welfare of the con
sumer; Glass' first attempt was to have
the. California marketing law repealed,
thus, discouraging cooperative market
ing. ' In -this he utterly and completely
failed. The measure which he fathered
with such end in view received in the
California t state senate only nine votes
out of 40. He then tried to arouse
public sentiment against the Dairymen's
association by incitnlg California house
wives through their leagues to denounce
the Dairymen's association as stinging
the consumers. He did this by imposing
on the lack of information on the part
of the housewives on the milk question
and by filling them with misinformation.
As a. con sequence, there was great agi
tation against the Dairymen's associ
ation, which, however, ended In smoke
because it had no foundation. ,
(COURTS APPEALED TO
Then Glass resorted to the authorities.
He managed to get the officials of the
Dairymen s association in Modesto, Cal..
arrested on some, alleged law breaking
charge, and also the Dairymen's as
sociation officials in San Francisco ar
rested on some other alleged law break
ing' charge. In-both Instances the juries
promptly declared the officials innocent
,of wrongdoing, and the efforts of Glass
came to naught. i .
Today the California DalrvmenV as
sociation is stronger than ever and be-?
coming . stronger every oay, despite the
strenuous efforts of Glass .and his em
ployers to harass and annoy them in
every possible way. ? ;
Due to the high cost of production
which has grown faster ' than the in
crease in price oi mtik, numerous dairy
men in California have within the past
year been obliged to dispose of their
cows, many or them to the butcher.
All this ia against the interest of the
consumer, -whose welfare deoenrfn on
the dairyman keeping on maintaining
production. Had it not bn for the
California Dairymen's association, which
r.as cut out waste in the cost of mar
keting and aided in securing for the
producer the largest possible share of
tne consumer s aonar, many more Cali
fornia dairymen would-have been forced
out of the business, to the decided. in
jury of the consumer. :--
