Milk price plan clashes amid producer controversy
At a hearing Commission Chairman John McRae heard claims that the milk system has bankrupted producers and failed. Opponents urged cancellation of the summer reduction led by H B Steele and H Logan Buckwalter while Harry Bastow pressed for protecting consumers against high prices. Proposals included maintaining the No 1 class price at 2 80 per 300 pounds of 3 5 percent butterfat, merging classes 1 2, creating a surplus class, and a basic surplus program tied to three year averages to stabilize prices. The decision was urged to be speedy.
