Milk Price Battle Moves to State Supreme Court
Howard G. Eisaman, chair of the Milk Control Commission, said he would ask the State Supreme Court for an immediate reversal of a Dauphin County court order cutting nine cents from the price board allowed Western Pennsylvania producers for their milk. Judge Charles C. Greer set a $3.06 per hundred pounds minimum. Eisaman called the decision unfounded and harmful, saying it would burden Western Pennsylvania farmers and could cost more than 10,000 farmers in the region about $26,000 monthly in Pittsburgh milk sales.
