IN VICTORY FOR OF Better Price Agreed Upon by Portland Distributors Deadlock Broken On Action of City Council PORTLAND, Aug. 6. (AP) As suddenly as It broke before a sur prised city, Portland's milk war came to an abrupt close last night. Alter a, weeH ot bluer siege in which thousands and thousands of gallons ot fresh, pure milk were dumped In streams and roadside ditches, dairy trucks were hi-jaoked by striking farmers, and property damaged by marauders, the end came with the blacklisted distributors meeting the terms advanced by the Dairymen's Co-operative association, representing the striking farmer-dairymen. The distributors agreed to pay a basic price of $3.17' a hundred to the producers. Agree to Co-operative. ' 'Another term of the agreement was that the distributors agreed to the co-operative. An exception Is made where distributors have exist ing contratcs with Independent sources. These contracts may not be renewed at their expiration. A permanent arbiter who will act as final authority in all milk dis putes, will be selected by represen tatives of the distributors and pro ducers, i The strike was called by the farm er-dairymen to force higher prices for their product. They contended . they were receiving between 1 90 and 2.00 per hundred, While on the quart basis the price ran around four cents, with the distributors receiving from 8 to 13 cents from the con sumer. Con noil Credited. Observers agreed that the deadlock which characterized earlier and pro longed discussions In an attempt to break the war, was broken to a larg extent by the action of the city coun cil late yesterday in adopting an emergency ordinance prohibiting the Importation Into the city of any milk no better than grade B. This law alono would have brought an end to the war, It was declared, as It 'would have' forced distributors to use other than the grade O milk which they have been : delivering during tho emergency. All other supplies wore out off by the farmers who success fully blockaded milk trucks dostlncd to the distributors. STORY 1 (Continued From Pns One) rested with the council, and that authority would romaln, no matter how much advisory aid should come iron) oltleens' committee groups, Desire to Help. , "Pop" Gates In outlining the cltl Bens' group solution plan on Tues day night, had mndo it plain In so doing that tho committee's desire was merely to help the council by paving tho way for some action in bringing the sewage disposal ques tion ito tho tore again, following the defeat of tho 1236.000 bonu ; Issue. During last night's dlacuasion Councilman P, M. Kershaw said that In talking with some members of the cltlEens' committee alter Tuesday night's meeting he was in formed that committee had the Idea In view of the council calling lor another bond election this fall. Councilman J. O. Grey precipitated the discussion that followed tho reading of the advisory commitleo elected by the cltlwms' committee. ; saying that while he appreciated the . Interest shown and would welcomo advisory aid, as would the other councilman, he was unalterably op posed to having the city council "tie In" with the oltiaens' committee, or any other group that might bo formed, by granting that body any authority, or aeml-authortty, along with the council In the matter. This feeling was unanimous among the t' other city officials, and theretore ' the city council took no formal ac tion on the cltiaens' committee com munication and plan beyond tiling It, and adopting a resolution along the lines as related above. Hud Much Information. ' During the discussion Chairman W. W. AHen and other members ot 'the council health committee, ana ' some other councllmen expressed the feeling that the cltleens' committee had not appreciated the Immense amount of authorltlve information that committee had gathered during Its six mouths' Investigation of sew age disposal, before renchtng the conclusions placed before the pun lie In the J35.0O0 bond Issue. He said that no member of the eltlaen' committee had even ciufti at the ' city ball and looked over what the health committee had . done. Mr. Allen was not present at Tues day night's meeting and Mayor Wil son hastened to Inform him that the cltleens' committee plau merely suggested a solution and offered aid In an advisory capacity, and there' fore as he understood It the com mltte did not desire to study into details, unless It aid otter was welcome to the council. ' Mr. Allen and other couneiimen stressed the point that the citizens' plan did not suggest anything but what the city council could have done at any time, especially the hir ing of an outside sanitary engineer specialist of wide reputation, ana that the health committee and other councilman always favored this, but could not see their way clear to employ such an engineer before a ' bond Issue was passed, because ot lack of finances. Had Expert Ail vice. However, the health committee went ahead as best It could, he said, and bad sought the advice of sev eral competent engineers and In structed City Superintendent Hcnei lei to make prelintlnrjjr survey ana plans and preliminary estimate ot costs. The state board of health engineer and other officials had also been consulted. When the engineers and the others looked over the survey and other work done by Mr. Hcheflel, Chairman Allen stated that each of them praised it as well and accurately done. Mr. Alien ana some other council men questioned the feasibility and legality of borrowing money from the banks to employ a special salu tary, engineer In advance of a pro posed bond Issue, plae the estimated cost of such employment In tne budget for next year and pay it out of next year's taxes, as suggested in the citizens' committee solution plan, .but others assured them that similar, procedure had been followea by city ' governments sometimes in past years, - Cooperation Imllruted. , Altogether, the outlook, In view ot the citizens' committee solution plan. and the debate on Its reception by the council In last nlgii.' rtlscus slon, seemingly indicates thai tne council and advisory committee ol the citizens' committee may soon be working amicably together in solving the sewage disposal problem. City Buperlntendcnt 8cheffel in rcoaai-ks during the discusilon, de clared that for spine reason to him unknown, he seemed to be the target around which tho disposal bona Issue centers, and said that in all public Improvement work of tne municipality or other eeml-puonc body, it had been the custom lor years to have the regular engineer ing department of that body do the preliminary work . connected witn the Improvement. He also stated that Engineer Schilling of Ashlana. an engineer of wide experience, had been offered a Job by Russia at $15,000 salary annually and ex penses for two years' work In that country, had aided him In the tech nical work In the sewage disposal matter.
