creameries today, will place an absolute blockade on all
milk which creameries attempt to buy tomorrow, it, was an-
nounced this afternoon.
The committee handling the producers' strike for a
flat price of $2.50 a hundred pounds which opened this
morning, claimed their efforts on the first day had resulted
a "substantial victory."

A meeting of the creamery officials was in progress
at the Safe Milk Institute, Neil P. Anderson Building, at
noon. Whether creamery men were discussing the ques-
tion of importation of milk could not be learned.

of the strike. Both occurred at the Dairyland Products
Company dock, where police were called early this morning.

The suggestion to accept

Dr. Flickwir also an-
nounced that firms or per-

milk restrictions would be
prosecuted. Maximum pun-
ishment is a $200 fine.
The wholesale supply be-
ing withheld from creamer-
ies by the strike is Grade A

but he warned the public
against buying from stands
outside the city limits which,

announced they intend to
