EUG TO MAKE COMPLAINT Distributors Get Big Part Of Retail Increase, They Allege Milk producers of Lane county who sell to Eugene creameriea are not re ceiving their proportionate increase for their milk since the retail price in Eugene was advanced a cent a quart, ,it was declared Monday by a committee from the producers, con sisting of M. G. Viles of Creswell and R. E. Hill of Mohawk. While the creameriea are receiving 47 cents a hundred pounds more than they received at retail prior to July 1 the farmers are getting but an in crease of 15 -to 20 cents a hundred' pounds, it was stated. "The creameriea raised the retail price of milk a cent a quart or 47 cents A hundred pounds July 1 and we understood that the producers were to get. most of the increase but our checks for July show that we are get ting only a small part of it," Mr. Hill eaid. "We cannot see why the producers are not getting a larger in crease for their milk. We did not ex pect the entire 47 cents a hundred but figured that we would get at least two-thirds the increase." " Eugene creameries are now paying the producers from $1.30 to (1.60 a hundred pounds for their, milk, Reid's and the Medoland meeting the Port land price of $1.60 and the Farmers Creamery somewhat lower. It Is on a pool basis at the last named plant and the price paid fluctuates. "We are psying the farmers all we can afford to pay, and continue to do business." said Ray Smith, manager of the Medoland creamery. "The far. mera do not aeem to realize the loss, es we are compelled to take at times, In the past we have been compelled to dump hundreds of gallons of milk a month and this, of course, is a dead loss. I appreciate the position of the farmer but there are two aides to the question and I am conversant with both sides as I was engaged in farm ing before entering the creamery bus-Inees." A. A. Reld of the Hold Creamery said that no matter what the pro ducers are receiving at the present time, It will doubtless all be changed when the NRA code goes into effect in the near future. He pointed ont that the creameries will be compelled to pay Just what the code says and no more or no less.
