Dairymen Reluctant to
Predict Retail Price
Immediate effect of the suspen

wholesale milk prices, and dairy
men were reluctant to forecast
what It might mean in the way of
retail price reductions.
Will D. Henry, manager of the
Dairy Cooperative association, ad
dressed to the Independent dair
ies Tuesday night a letter reading
as follows:
"A communication from the
Oregon Milk Control board today
informs us that because of an in
junction by the court preventing
the enforcement of their price re
gulations on a substantial portion
of the Salem market, that the re
gulations on the entire Salem
market are suspended beginning
September 1st pending a favorable
decision of the courts.
"Over the past three years the
producers represented by the
Dairy Cooperative association
have complied with the rulings of
the board and have carried the
full surplus burden of the market
with the result that they received
an average of about 38c per pound
butterfat while producers who did
not comply have received approxl
mately 58c per pound fat.
"Since the board has now sus
pended the rules on this market
and since we understand that a
large distributor on this market
is now soliciting milk for the bot
tie and can trade at 40c per pound
tat we propose to meet this com
petltive condition by selling our
milk to distributors at 38c per
pound fat until such time as an
equitable pooling arrangement
can be arrived at or until such
time as the matter is disposed of
by the courts."
The action outlined In this no
tice was endorsed by 100 per
cent vote at the cooperative's
meeting Tuesday night at the.
chamber of commerce.
