PORTLAND MILK
WAR ARBITER'S
DECISION MADE
Portland, Jan. 1 JPt Distributor
of milk In the Portland area will
buy their supply from the Dairy
Co-operative association on a slid
ing scale in 1932 but at no time
shall the price go below $2.10
hundred pounds or above $2.25
hundred pounds.
This decision was announced Fri
day by Rabbi Henry J. Berkowitz,
arbiter In the milk controversy,
alter he had completed a study of
the evidence presented at his two
tlay hearing on the arguments be
tween the distributors and the cooperative.
The present price is $2.174 cents
a Hundred pounds. It was set last
August by the arbitration commit
tee In the mlllc war after the two
sides could not reach an under
standing. That price was a com
promise between the $2.10 offer by
the distributors and $2.25 asked by
the co-operative.
Rabbi Berkowitz announced that
the price would be on 92 score but
ter on the Los Angeles market plus
a differential of 22 cents. He said hr
.was satisfied that the Portland
market could not be taken as I
basis for quotations but that the evt
dence disclosed the Los Angeles
market to be the most reliable on
the coast.
The Rabbi also reserved the right
to open up the price question for
consideration July 1, 1932. He hand
ed down three requirements In his
decision. Namely that all milk be
bought from the co-operative; that
any Increase to the consumer shall
be equally divided with the co
operative: and that the co-operative
at Its option shall be paid weekly.
Neither side scored a victory In
the decision of the arbiter. The
distributors gained some ground
when they secured the butter print
basis but lost it when the arbiter
ruled on the range of price. The
distributors had sought a price of
tijjz on weir ngures.
The cooperative had contended
that a price of $2.30 was not out of
line with conditions. When the
Rabbi suggested a price of $2.28
three weeks gao, the co-operative
Kreea 10 mis ngure. m the hear
ings It fought for a flat price and
opposed the sliding scale Idea on
ouiter quotations.

MARKET QUOTATIONS
tatements "dergoatory to the courts
and very antagonistic to the prose
cution." Judge Prewltt, In the contempt of
court proceedings, held that a spe
cial article Mini ton x had written for
the News-8entlnel, following the re
cent trial of W. B. Jones on charges
similar to those against Hightower,
which criticised the conduct of
Hamilton, was not contempt.
He held an editorial published In
the paper w in contempt, however,
and ruled that no representative of
the News-Sentinel could "take notes"
tn his court room until the newspa
per apologized. In an editorial yes
terday, the Ncwa-Sentlnel said it
had no apology to make.
Judge Prewltt gave Moutoux per
mission to remain and report the
trial as a special correspondent for
the United Press, on condition that
he not write anything for the News-
Sentinel. It was when he returned to
the courtroom In this capacity that
the prosecution motion to exclude
him was made.

the time to earnest prayer."
The viceroy said he would receive
Gandhi for an Interview but would
not discuss recent ordinances de
signed to quel! terrorism which the
nationalists consider repressive and
wnicn uandhi demands be revoked.
Gandhi published a second re
quest for discussion of the ordin
ances. He told the viceroy that If
he Is permitted to make a tour of
the provinces to determine public
opinion, he Is willing to advise the
congress to suspend the declaration
of war. The viceroy's response was
expected to determine whether the
war declaration becomes effective
immediately.
The government la prepared, if
the opposition campaign Is renewed,
to Institute a whole series of new
ordinances throughout the country,
making civil disobedience, boycot
ting, picket I nir or the collection of
salt all punishable offenses.
if the situation becomes acute
the authorities may decide to de
clare martial law which, indeed, al
ready exists In modified form In
some districts. In the shape of
sweeping ordinances giving the of
ficials the power of life or death.
Officials said the government forces
were never before better prepared
to squelch the nationalists' cam-
pa inn.
Besides the resolution declaring
for a utilities boycott on telegraphs,
courts and railways which. It Is
agreed, would paralyze the country,

Most of the cons it leaders have

Dowcver. unless they are prevented.,
extensive precautions are being
aken by the police to preserve or-1

Gandhi and the other nationalist
traders, which Is expected within

tions to send representatives to the

tual Interest concerning highway
matters.
Mr. Bailey states that replies re
ceived indicate that "all sections of
the state will be represented at the

mott important from the standpoint
of shaping public opinion on the
nighway program that has been

sociation. Tne meeting will start

CONGRESS FACES
NEW PROBLEMS
(Continued from page 1)
reached the senate too late for ac
tion before the holidays.
Democrats have not worked out
their tax program to be offered as a
substitute for that of Secretary of
tne iTeasury Mellon, but they have
completed the broad outlines of the
bill.
They have decided hev must In-
elude certain luxury and semi-luxury
articles to meet revenue needs,
but they will limit this lLst as far as
possible. Determination of what ar
ticles of this character to tax is now
their chief problem. Party tax ex
perts are working with Speaker Gar
ner on a program to be presented
alter tne holidays.
Indications are now that it will be
designed to raise almost as much
revenue as that suggested by Mellon.
who asked Increases calculated to
bring to the treasury about a billion
dollars more annually. The bill will
call for higher taxes on large In
comes, Increased Inheritance taxes, a
gut tax and one on selected lux
uries and ecml -luxuries. There will
be no Increase on small incomes.
Democrats generally are swinging
around also to Mc lion's Idea that
the increases should be retroactive,
which means they will be effective
