The Bowman Company would not consider the Milk ~Board, who are the representatives of the producers of the Chicago Zone. They hel® the matter in abeyance until the con-- tract expired and then issued an ui}-- timatum and stood "pat" and refus ed to arbitrate at the request of May: or Dever or the Health Officer of the City of Chicago. Upon reading the many articles in your paper in regard to the milk sit uation throughout what is known as the Chicago milk gone, and being on the firing line for twelve days, per-- haps some of your readers woul4 like to get the facts as they existed during this unpleasant situation It was a lockout pure and simple by the Distributors of Chicago, ol which the Bowman Company is in control. To begin with it was uot a milk strike by the producers. Mr. Editor The distributors wanted to cut the price of milk of the producer fifteen cents per hundred pounds but the consumer was to pay the same as be-- fore. The high cost of living committee made the statement that the distrib utors could pay the producers $2.75 perhundred pounds, sell the milk at 13 cents per quart and then receive a profit of twenty one pér cent. Please read the Examiner dated | Jan. 27th, col. 1, page 7, for milk coni statistics and be convinced as to the | profiteering that the consumer has to ; coutend with. R ' We. have heard a great deal anout a certain bonus that the producer goi from the Bowman Co. This: eight cent bonus was voluntary, given by the Bowman Co., only and: it cwas solely, for their own benefit. This bonus was given to what is known as the inner zone and as an . alibi they said it was the difference in freight rates when the |fact in the matter was, that they did it to keep the milk from being trucked into Chicago and get into the uands of the smaller dealers. _ % f T> HOW TO GET IT ATEMENT OF MILK SITVATION MAIL ORDERS FILLED--SEE COUPON CLIP COUPON FROM ANOTHER PAGE C uty Yours for on cur 998C and only was not to get to the producers un UWI! the Arst month had explired, but Hoping Mr. Editor that it will not take too much of your. _ valuable space and give the consumers the .correct understanding in this mat ter, 1 want to say that this does not apply to the local 'situation. as thé loca} dealers pay over $3.00 per hun-- d@red and sell one cent cheaper than Chicago and are satisfied --with the profit thevy obtain There is much more that could be said about this matter, but 1 do not want to berden with any more at this time. 0.
