Prides of milk advanced, the farmer getting park of the increase and the dist.ribut,v the balance, In ibis age of organizae Liana it is not serpeleing tlla; some groups shoulddtx'ide to organize a strike against the use of milk, with the price as the grievance, The price of a quart of 111 111c In e e Po- tt s 13 u u ., T7 l Taranto now ( t atb tl ()w t 1 er receivesn 2 re' 110,111red• dY11C 5 1 3 1 weight for his milk and it is gener- ally agreed that Caere ate about 39 quarts in one hundred pounds' of 1(1111(, Thus, the producer receives about 0% cents per quart. The question then is being asked: Is 614 cents a fair charge for handling e quart of milk? Sr =v 1' • THE OTHER night we read where the garagemen and aeiwice station opera -tors were going to ask the government to create a code whereby one could not retail gaso- line for lees than four cents per gallon 'refit, Milk and gas are very much in the same class now. Most et us practically consider thew neeeesit.ies of life. For comparison let us see how the two fluids are handled. The oil company's truck delivers the gas to the retailer's tank, end storgs it in tanks which generally are the oil company's property. The retailer Pl11135 it into the tank of his customer's car. There is nate shrinkage it is true, but there 10 110 packaging, On the other hand, the dairy re. quires expensibe equipment, The ' milk must he carefully pasteurized,' bobtled, and then delivered from house to house. Of course the farmer will readily agree that the dairy is getting too much of the consumer's milk dollar, That has been the battle cry of 1 .fanners' co-operatives for years.i But if the dairies can provide this I service for slightly over 6 cents per quart or unit and be called grafi Leers, then what of the gasoline vendors, who have no such expense and yet are anxious to have a law I passed to make compulsory a four- , cent per unit profit? Wilk le one of the essential foods,f There is no satisfactory substituted Milk in its various marketable forms is one of the chief revenue - producers on the farm. The price of milk, be it quoted as whole I milk, cheese or butter, is a re- liable barometer of the economic condition of this country. We are wondering today how many of those Toronto women would protest if the price of admission to their favorite theatre were to advance? Or how many of them spend need- less 1lpneie5 for foots that h•lrl't anywhere near the value of 115111(? L when they secured the eight-hour day. His argument was that, milk wars too high in price. He could not afford it, The only difference.': in his 'wages was that he now Wonted 44 house ,per week whereas seine Years ago he pat. in 50 houra'1)er weep. The hourly age • rate 'WAS exactly the same- Q811o1a1 g'over'n. ment figures p•mve that the rate of wages paid various theses of labor was slightly higher in 1936 than in 1919, but the fanner received $3.03 for a telt, of milk in 1919, compar- ed with 33,52 since the last ad-,. vanes in 1937. Oh, yee, they howled about the high cosi of living in those days. But wasn't prosperity a fine tiling? There is no milk shortage or butter shortage. There is no shortage et feed of any kind, and when the con- sumers begirt to howl about the high cost of living, that is as 1:.11.5111 to the ear, We have heard them at it before and always 15 has meant a little more motley 15 our 310010055, What is more important to the consumer is the foot that while .be was hollering about the high oast of living, he was buying more milk andother farm produce, more furniture, more clothes, more of everything, and his pity eleepue was elastic enough to pay for it all, Those women Sn Toronto may not believe us, butt they are actually in- viting the return of those dark dare now definitely left behind 'when de- preesdon stalked through the laud.'
