Dairy Interests Back Differential For Swiss Cheese
Wisconsin dairy producers and officials urged restoring five grades and five prices for Swiss cheese at a meeting of 22 representatives from the Cheesemakers board and the Wisconsin Swiss and Limberger Producers association. They noted past incentives favored grinders over top quality during OPA and post-OPA periods and argued quality price offsets grinders. State grading began in 1939 with state graders handling evaluations.

Union Advised to Ignore Picket Ban at Allis-Chalmers
Milwaukee reports that Arthur W. Richter, counsel for the CIO United Auto Workers Local 248, said strike leaders should ignore the state employment relations board's limit on picketing at the West Allis plant. The board ordered no more than 20 pickets at once and no more than two at any time, but Richter claimed the ruling has no force of law yet. He indicated the union may seek a circuit court order if the board does not act, while opposing the board's power to cap picketing. W. O. Sonneman echoed the stance, noting the board's attitude before evidence was heard. Picket line disturbances have occurred at plant gates.
