The report of the Investigation of Lionel Mackay, deputy city attorney," into Portland milk prices was yesterday given by Mayor Baker to F. W. Humphreys, United States district attorney, who will, if the facts warrant, take the case before the federal grand Jury. , Aftei careful perusal, of the report, the mayor, on finding that the Oregon Co-operative Dairymens league charg ed with diverting milk from the Port-' land market in order to keep prices to the consumer and distributor as high as possible, laid all facts before Mr. Humphreys, who has arranged for a conference with Mr. Mackay for 9 o'clock this morning. " Mr. Mackay embodied as part of his report a letter written by "C. Douglas Tyler, secretary," of the Oregon Dairy men's Co-operative league to J. C. Mar tinazzl, former league member and milk producer of Tualtln, Or., which explains that "at this season of the year nearly every dairyman has more cows giving milk than at other seasons and it is also a fact that nearly all cows give more milk at this season of the year. The result of this is that milk pours into Portland in tremenduous quantities and if we allow this extra milk to run loose on the market the price would be broken very quickly." Milk Declared Diverted. It Is then pointed out by Mr. Mac kay that it is not the league's policy to let supply and demand govern the price of milk, but Instead, rather than lower the price to Portland consumers the milk is diverted at a loss in order that the league may maintain its price. Commenting on the serious discrep ancy ln price which exists between that milk sold by the league to con tainers and that sold to Portland dis tributors. Mr. Mackay in his report says that 40 percent of Oregon pro duced milk is manufactured into but ter; that for this milk the producer receives $2.68 a hundred-weight, and then asks If milk sold to butter pro ducing firms Is disposed of at a loss. "It must be," says the investigator, "if the producer loses money on that sold for $3.20 a hundred-weight" About 270,000 pounds of milk are daily sold at the condensaries, accord ing to the report, at $2.80 a hundred weight. This milk, argues Mr. Mackay that sold 20 is sold- Nomination of Candidate Is Again Delayed Chicago, July 13.

' During its separate session, - the committee of 48 voted to recommend a platform plank for "public owner ship and democratic control of trans portation, including stockyards, laraa abbattoirs,- grain - elevators;- terminal warehouses, pipe lines and tanks." The "democratic control" by work ers and their representatives, was a labor party demand. - Meeting Adjourns With the 48 contention on record. as agreeing to amalgamate this af ternoon, the labor party convention. with non-partisan, leaguers and some single taxers officially participating' went ahead hearing reports for ' short time .and then adjourned until this afternoon to hold the first Joint meeting with the forty eightersv Before adjourning the labor party- session indicated, that the new party planned to nominate a presidential candidate possibly tonight, and that there .may be state tickets in some sections. v.

Then there was a counter demonstra tion In favor of LaFollette.' Record read some of the ptanks agreed to by the forty eighteers and the labor men. Many delegates beld -a Jubilee when it appeared that the agreement included planks declaring; for recognition by the United States.' of Russian and Irish governments, and carried the demonstration fur ther when a plank declaring for . referendum before war ' "except af ter an act of actual invasion." No Mexican Intervention Other agreed planks advocated "refusal to go to war with Mexico at the behest of Wall street" and a pro posal for "Americanization of the federal courts by electing federal judges for four years, subject to re- . call." . When Record read the capital levy plank of the labor platform, provid ing for "graduated taxation upon fortunes over $25,000" there was a round of applause. There was laugh ter when he said,, that .the forty elghters had not "assented" to this. Record's report was Interrupted by a notification give ft to the conven tion that the laboK' party gathering had also decided for amalgamation. Arrangements were made Immediate ly to parade in sight seeing auto bus es to the other convention. . "Immediate repeal of 'fhe Esch Gumming transportation act " read by Record as another agreed plank, got cheers from the forty elghters. Principles st Variance. The eommittee of 48 conferees yield ed to the labor party on the question of nationalization of banks and credit facilities and the "democratic control" of essential industries. It wSs stated. Three proposals of the labor group, however, stand in the way of an agree ment on party principles. They were; proposal for a capital tax levy; nation alization of mines and the Plumb plan for tripartite railroad control. Evidence of the labor Convention's conciliatory mood was given by several motion to "give the conference com mittee a free hand" and to "bend every , effort" ln the direction of agreement. Labor spokesmen SrtfUed it could do their cause no harm to continue the) negotiations since the forty-eighters had shown "a genuiMSisposition ana desire to gt together. Delegates Seated. The convention was thrown Into am uproar when Robert M.
