DRAFTING NEW - " ; MILK MEM WOULD LICENSE EVERY .DISTRIBUTOR Illinois Company Pays Wages in Silve| :: federal government has reach«4 an agreement with dairy farmers' representatives of the Chicago milk shed whereby the agricultural adjustment administration is to re-establish a marketing agreement .with the Pure Milk association, composed of 18,000 dairy farmers and proceed at once to license all malk distributors in Chicago and suburbs. This information was made public ^ Tuesday in Chicago after telephone conversations between C. V. Gregory, editor of the Prairie Farmer, and Chester C. Davis, farm administrator of the AAA in Washington. Gregory served on the recent arbitration committee of three formed by Mayor Kelly to settle the farmers' milk strike early in January. To Enforce Farm Price The AAA has agreed to enforce a farm price of $1.75 a hundred pounds (3.76 cemts a quart) for all milk sold in fluid form and $1.25 (2.7 cents a quart) for all milk from which cream is to be "extracted. Such milk is to test 3;6 per cent butterfat and there will be premiums for ail richer milk and deductions for thinner milk. The same price schedule is to be required of everyone purchasing1 milk for cop- "sumption in Chicago and nearby areas, it was reported. The so-called blended price which will be paid to farmers for the total amount of milk sold in the milk ani cream classes under the proposed new AAA license is $1.62 a hundred pounds (3.48 cents a quart) which is within 2 cents a hundredweight, of the blended price fixed by Mayor Kelly's arbitration board. The arbitrators, in their award, set a price of $1.85 a hundred pounds (4 cents a quart) for fluid milk and $1.07% (2.3 cents a quart) for milk from which cream is to be extracted. The new price schedule, if approved by the membership or advisory board of the Pure Milk association, whose members produce more than 75 per cent of the metropolitan milk and cream supply, is to become effective on Feb. 1. The PMA directors were expected to meet Wednesday to dis cuss the proposal, which is understood? to be satisfactory to D. N. Gey^r, manager of the PMA, and three directors who were appointed last ifroek to confer with the officials of the Agricultural Adjustment administration. Blanket License Expected It was understood that the AAA planned to issue a new blanket license covering all buyers of milk and cream in the Chicago milk shed as a means of enforcing the new price schedule. This license is expected to contain a provision that every milk distributor shall" be required to post a bond by Feb. 15 to insure his paying the farmers the new fixed prices. No stipulation as to retail prices of milk and cream is contemplated-by the AAA. The new trade agreement is now being drafted in Washington. The PMA committee hopes to bring it to Chicago today, so that it may be approved by the association, it is understood. No approval of its terms by distributors is contemplated before it is Signed and made effective by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Plan 'Use of Injunction "Rigorous enforcement" of the new license is said to have been promised by the AAA, with thp use of federal injunctions to curb violators or to prevent them from continuing in busi- } [WEEKLY EXCHANGE i HEMS OFJNTLREST TAKEN iFROM COLUMNS OF OUR fcXCHANGM 7 T r lit!i-i;v>x i y nf 1'r.'.'jm>r!, 11!.. ..iv7dyd t.-M'ttj' its .t'liiyl'Ht't-'S iu ail\.er .lVL^iiUi .uud sio.OUU, .or .a ton and a half of the Wliite metal in little canvas sacks was handed to them instead of the customary envelopes, while armed police and factory guards protected them. , , RINGWOOD CITIZEN I DIES AT HOSPITAL Friends in Ringwood and this vicin* ity were shocked and saddened by th<| untimely death of Leon Dodge, 38 years old, of Ringwood, which occurred at the Woodstock hospital at 11:15 o'clock Tuesday night, Jan. 30, 1934. t>eatk resulted from Infection which developed from cuts on his hand from a buzzsaw.

FOUR FIRES IN THIS VICINITY DURING WEEK The Cold weather caused fires in this vicinity the first of the week and the home of John Valenski at Lily Lake was burned to the ground early! where at present there is sufficient Tuesday morning. It thought that room, than it would be for the townthe fire started from an overheated ships or counties to handle them. the four-point rehabilitation- plan adopted by the national convention in Chicago last year. The point where they differ is hospitalization. The government says the township should care for the disabled in connection with hospitalization while the. Legion insists it is the duty of the government. Commander Kapschull pointed out how much cheaper and easier it would be for the government to handle the^e cases in the various U. S. hospitals, chimney. Members of the family were in bed and were awakened by the smoke just in time to escape. They were unable to save any furai ture with the exception of a bed. Having no phone they did not call the fire department. The McHenry fire department was called to the Will Hay home in the -- .north end of town Monday about 6:30 ness. The use of this legal means, by o'clock when a chimney' fire caused which violators of the recent prohibition law were punished, is said to have been held by legal counsel for the AAA to be possible under an interpretation of .the farm adjustment a<& The new step taken Tuesday bv the AAA marks a new effort at regulation ,of the turbulent Chicago milk industry, following the collapse of former attempts at intervals since last May. The trade agreement between organized i>iilk companies, the Pui-e Milk association, and the AAA was abrogated on Jan. 1 by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. This trade agreement sought to fix retail and wholesale milk and cream prices under which the price of a quart of milk rose from 9 to 11 cents, and coffee cream rose to 15 cents a half pint. Since its abrogation and the milk strike competition in the, in*. dustry has forced retail prices down to 7 to 10 cents a quart for milk and 10 to 13 cents a half pint for cream.

Jimmie proved to be a very worthy opponent for Dr. Schwabe's style of play and the two put OTi an exhibition that' brought continued bursts of applause from the interested crowd.
