THE MILK ACT
Sir, —Is it not a fact that tho Labour members of the present City Council are in favour of most of the Milk Council's amendments, especially consolidation and zoning? Are not Labour members supposed to represent the worker, help create work, and not deprive its own to give to those who are already, quite well enough off? If zoning does come and rounds are worked under the block system, who will reap the benefit? Not the worker, nor the consumer. Jt will cost the farmer just as much to produce and some excuse will be found why the price to the public caunot be lowered. More than one-third of the men now delivering milk will not be required. This is rather a strange thing for a Labour member of a council to be in favour of. I am a Labour man, working hard to keep my wife and family, and I cannot understand one of my own, a council Labour member, wishing to put me out of my job to increase the wealth of others. Anti-Bi.ock.
