John Williams Is Underselling' the Milkmen's Organization. Some time ago the milk dealers in this city, inspired with the prevailing fashion of organization which was go ing on all through the valley, decided to form a union of their own. Tlie plan met with great favor among all the dealers and a. meeting was held and a. tariff of prices drawn up. Among the most radical of the results was a change in the price of milk for the summer months. Hitherto tho price has been 5 cents a. quart, after April 1. This year the: new organization de cided to maintain a price of 6 cents after that date. All dealers In the. city, but one, have steadfastly stuck to this price for the past two weeks, The exception is John Williams, who, besides owning a large farm outside tlie city limits, Is also part owner of the Hotel American here. He has kept his price at S cents and has thereby made himself disliked by the organization. A member of the latter body said yesterday afternoon that, although It was true that the price of milk has been advanced this spring beyond the rate of former years, yet Ihi! members of the association derived no benefit from the advance: it was the farmers who got the bene fit, and if tho price was lowered to meet Mr. Williams' figures it would be the fanner who would have, to sustain tlie loss. While he would not say what action would be taken by the milk dealers1 ho intimated that unless Mr. AVIlllams quit selling below the union price measures might lie taken soon to bring public sentiment to 'bear on the question. Storm Doors Removed. All the people who had occasion to visit the postolllco and city building after a o'clock yesterday afternoon had cause for rejoicing.
