They all agreed to sti k by the association and not to pay the Increased price longer than is absolutely necessary. Special pains ware taken to correct the false impression that the South Hend Sanitary .Milk o. is the only retailer in the ity that is objecting to the hU'h price. The whole association, it was asserted, had joined in tl.f protest ami many of the members were pajinir a pric as low as 17 cents under old contracts. Speaking for the producers. County Arent John Hordner declared, however, that all of the distributors of the city with the exception of the Smith I'.end Sanitary .Milk Co. had willingly signed contracts with producers to furnish milk at the price demanded through the Organization. Fie 5a hi that some of them had agreed to pay the increased amount and that others had asked lor a long time contract at that price with a money surety. Hogers Mill Defiant. Hogers, who is manager of the Sanitary AT ilk Co.. maintained that he wa.s securing all of the milk that he needed at 1! cents per gallon and urther claimed that at least two members of the Producers' imion had signed contracts with him personally to furnish milk at the reduced price. He renewed his statement that should any difficulty arise making it impossible for him tu secure milk in this county, that he corld lind more than enough to

dneiay. no one in his employ
had received any word in the matter, according to advices received late Wednesday night from Indianapolis. It is not known whether or not he is out of the civ and all attempts to lind him resulted in nothi n g. It was understood that the retailers found it necessary to charge members of the producers union with restraint of interstate trade. It was claimed that when haulers wished to enter the state with milk they were threatened though it has not been definitely learned that any one of them was attacked or forcibly restrained from transporting the milk. Following the meeting of the retailers. .Mr. Hogers denied that any appeal had been made on the merits of this case. Not liiflurirtl Sujs lionlner. "From my Investigation of the neuter." declared Mr. IJordner, "I lmd that such shipment does not fall

only articles that were shipped in common carriers and not in a milk wauon or private vehicle of a farmer
or na uier.
.Mr. Hordner admitted that the Sanitary Milk Co. might collect enouirh milk in the country to satisfy its needs, hut declared that not more than one of the members of the union had violated his agrement nnd thus forfeited his membership in the organization. He pertinently stated that a number of the other distributors of the city who have agreed to the demands of the farmers, have since the opening of the Ji'ht asked for more milk than they have ever before used. He said that he was sure that a large number of the wagons that were hauling milk to the Sanitary Co. were loaded at less than half capacity.
