Dairymen Plan Reprisals Against Big Three Milks
The Dairymen's League has perfected plans to reprisals on New York City's Big Three milk distributors for resisting milk war demands. Co operatives would pasteurize milk upstate and sell in the city at 8 cents a quart, with most city distributors signing, except Borden, Sheffield Farms, Mutual-McDermott and St F Stevens. Commissioner Dillon says 70 percent of normal supply expected today as farmers move toward owning pasteurizing plants. plans include expanding to serve New York City retail and allowing farmers to buy shares to operate plants. Eight cents per quart pricing would undercut current 10 to 11 cent rates, with farmers earning profits at 25 cents per quart-equivalent. The state Health department backs feasibility. Dillon notes willingness to supply Borden at cost if needed. An Attorney General probe continues, with charges against Loton Horton to be examined. Also, 22 horses perished in a New York fire that destroyed Bernstein & Laske stables.
