TO 11 CENTS
So-Called 'DeVlers Trust' Struck
Blow by Cooperative Dairymen,
Whcr Will Sell Direct to the
Consumer at Grocery Stores.
Despairing of an adjustment fa
vorable fo Portland consumers
through -what they call the "milk
dealers' trust," the board of direc
tors of the Oregon Dairymen's Co
operative league will go direct to the
people with their product.
Milk supplied by the league will be 11
cents a quart retail at grocery stores
end local milk stations, beginning Tues
day, It was announced this morning. "Ten
thousand quarts of milk bottled will be
offered at the new price. This 'amount
will be increased to meet demand, it was
said. ' .
The dealer price, effective '. April 1,
is 13 and 14 cents a quart. 'Last month

14 and 15 cents a quart, the variation
In price being governed by whether milk
is paid for in advance or at the end of
the month.
The dairymen's complaint is that when,
on account of-the "grass season" the
dealers concertedly and without the permission-
of the milk commission, re
duced to 6 .cents a quart the amount
paid producers, no corresponding cut
was made to the people of Portland. " The
proportionate amounts received by the
dairymen and the dealers last, month and
this are, reduced by the" dairymen's
league officials to the following brief
tablet
March. Anrll.
Dealer ...... 6.8 7.4
producer 7.2 6
"In other words." explained Albert S.
Hall, manager of the Dairyman's Co
operative league, "when the price of
milk was reduced to the producers on
account of the "grass season," the deal
era simply took advantage of the oppor
tunity to widen their own margin.

"Dealers should be able to deliver milk
In Portland for 6 cents - a quart. When
they pay us 8 cents a guart the people

11 cents' a quart. "
"We do not possess wagons and equip
, raent -f or retail milk distribution. The
corner grocery and Its frequent commu

however, a chance to get r around the
dealer combination to the public.

"M. S. Sides With Her Allies in
Holding Berlin Responsible for
War and Morally Bound for
Reparation," Von Simons Told.
By A. I. Bradford '
Washington, April 4. (LT. P.)
The United States stands with the
governments of the allies in ' holding
Germany morally responsible for the
war and obligated to pay full repara
tions, Secretary of State Hughes de
clared in the communication pre
sented to the German government.
The text" of the communication from
the United States to the German gov
ernment was made public at the state
department today confirming the ex
clusive United Press dispatch of Sat
urday that Germany had been notified
cf the position of the United States.
The communication to Germany was
in direct reply to one handed by the
German foreign minister. Dr. Simons,
to American , Commissioner Dresel in
Berlin. This was on March 23 and the
American reply was dated March 2D.
NOTE SOT lOBJUL
The state department today specifical
ly denied, that the communication from
the United j States . was considered a
formal note. ','
The stale department issued the fol
lowing statement :
"The secretary of state instructed the
American commissioner at Berlin to
make the following statement to the
German minister for foreign affairs:
"The American government Is pleased
in the informal memorandum of Dr.
Simons at the unequivocal expression on
the part of the German government of
tts desire -to afford reparation up to
the limit of German ability lo pay. This
government stands with the govern
ments of the allies in holding Germany
responsible for the war and therefore
morally bound , to make reparations so
far as may be.; possible. s t : , -05U
SOISD BASIS - J
The - recognition of' this "obligation,
TmplletL Xn the memorandum of. "Dr." i
mons, seems to the government of the
United States theronly sound basis on
which can be bjfilt a firm and just
peace -under which the various nations
of Kurope can. achieve once more eco
nomic Independence and stability. This
government believes that it recognizes in
the memorandum of Dr. Simons a sin
cere desire on the part of the German
government- to reopen negotiations with
the allies on a new basis and hopes that
such negotiations once resumed may lead
to a prompt settlement which will at
the -same time satisfy the just claims of
the allies and permit Germany hope
fully to renew activities.

By Lloyd Allen f.
Tnited Press staff Correspondent.
(Copyright. 1921. by tnited Pm)
London, April 4. Arthur Hender
son, most powerful labor leader in
Great Britain, today virtually chal
lenged Premier Lloyd George to a
general election on the issues raised
by the threatened industrial revolu
tion in the United Kingdom.
Known throughout the war as a con
servative and a conciliator, ; Henderson
in an exclusive ? interview J with '.the
United Press, indicated his one idea now
is to overthrow the Lloyd George gov
ernment. Radical and conservative laborites, he
said, have been cemented by the crisis.
brought on by the great coal strike. A
vlctorj for labor, with Lloyd George an
outcast and a labor government based
on social Justice, ' will result from the
next election, he declared. ;
Contemptuously referring to the "in
sincerity, inconsistency and Inconstan
cy" of the premier, Henderson declared
Lloyd George's party Is falling to pieces.
'The Labor party will not only ; sur
vive Lloyd George's attack, but will
be strengthened by it," he said. "His
hysterical attacks are not deceiving any
one, not even himself."
Henderson refused to announce the
complete labor platform, but made it
clear that "when . labor wins" it will
"reconstruct society. Impoverished and
disorganized y the long war, on the
principles o socil justice and economic
.'reedom." ' ,.
"The premier is a man who feels that
his force is spent." Henderson asserted.
"He has aligned himself Irrevocably with
party, privilege and property which he
once assailed with a vehemence of tongue

Pomona Is
Voting on
Sunday Law
Pomona, Cal., April 4. (I. N. S.)
Pomona is voting today on the
question of whether the motion pic
ture i theatres and other public
amusements shall remain open on
Sunday and it is expected that a rec
ord vote will be cast.
After a month's active campaign by
the advocates and opponents of the pro
posed measure, the whole city has been
stirred up' to a high pitch of excite
ment and the contest is expected to be
a close one. .
Yesterday the climax of the cam
paign was reached and Sunday was far
from the quiet day that the advocates
of the law hope to institute. Two big
mass meetings were held In the after
noon, one by each faction in the fight.
The advocates of the ordinance, more
than- 2000 of them, crowded into the
open-air Greek theatre, where, in spite
of the . threatening weather, they sat
for two hours and cheered for the Sunday-closing
law. At this meeting Dr.
James A. Franfis of Los Angeles spoke
in favor of the ordinance and a com
pany of negro Jubilee singers gave a
sacred concert.
At the same time another mass meet
ing was held in the business section,
where a number of prominent motion
picture actors and actresses urged the
citizens of vote against the Sunday
closing ordinance. " Rupert Hughes, ; the
novelist, was the principal speaker
against the law. Among the movie stars
present were Charles Murray, Jackie
Coogan, Anita Stewart an Wallace
Reid.

ASKED BY LABOR

Organized, labor today renewed Its
plea for release of political prison
ers. .
Samuel Gompers, head of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, and a delega
tion of labor officials called at the
White House and urged President Har
ding to pardon all persons who were
sentenced because of their views on the
war. '.
The most conspicuous of these Is
Eugene V. Debs, now in Atlanta peni
tentiary, whose case is now under review
by Attorney General Daugherty.
Another delegation, composed largely
it Socialists, is to call at the White
House on the same mission April 13.
The .labor delegation is restricting its
appeal to those who are serving sen
tences because of their opinions regard
ing the war. The draft evaders and
those convicted of activity designed to
hinder the prosecution of the war axe
hot included in the category of political
prisoners, in the opinion of Gompers.
Befoae his election,- Harding expressed
the opinion that all of these cases should
be considered, individually on their
merits, v An impression Is current ia
Washington, without any definite state
ment to bear tt out, that Debs is to be
pardoned shortly. President Harding ap
proved without question the suggestion
of Attorney General Daugherty that
Debs be allowed to come to Washington

a great man : with . the manners ' of a
half clumsy sensitive boy, .sits in a pa;

: He hopes his wife , has brought along
the old green sweater which is so much
more comfortable than a frock coat
And he would like to borrow a fiddle.
This unassuming gentleman, with his
modest- wishes, will probably go down
to posterity as the most gigantic in

is Albert Einstein,, whose relativity
theory has profoundly affected the seri
