of Angleton as a candidate for the p<>- the famous Ford Factories, and free
affiliated with the South Texas
relation in Houston,
to produce and sell

butterfat, the distributors to take all
milk produced and this price to re
i main indefinitely or until such time
i .is the distributors declare a surplus,
when the price will be raised to
$2.80.
The decision to retain the price
for the present was reached at a
meeting of the South Terns Produc-
ers Association held at Civil Courts
Building in Houston, Wednesday
night. It came in the form of a
motion which wn- adopted unani-
■ mously by a vote of the 329 mem-
bers of the a-soclation.
The vote came after s- .oral hour.*

Price Stebiliced
Speakers favoring the motion to
retain the pn-sent price of $2 40 for
raw milk pointed out that for the
first time
Industry in Houston the price of mi’k
to both distributor and consumer had i
been stabilized. That through the
effort* of the association the di tri
butors had been able to reach ami-
cable agreement on the price of milk
to consumers and to retailers of milk
That to advance the price at the
present timt would upset the price
structures and cause a surplus of1
milk on the market which eventually t
would lead to the most dinstrous milk
war ever experienced in the city. It
was further pointed out that it would
induce the practice of "bootlegging''
of raw milk into the city, according
to some of the speakers, and the
consequent inability of the associa-
tion to control th- inevitubh surplus
of raw milk which would be thrown
on the market
