The debate broke over the report of the school committee by Mrs. Gladys C.

W. AL impson of Washington, one of the largest distributors of milk from Frederick county, has served notice on all of his shippers, from whom he is deducting brokerage for the Mary- land and Virginia association, that after May 1, he will make no more brokerage deductions. impson's agreement to deduct brokerage was made last fall, at the close of one of the most spectacular fights ever con- ducted among farmers of this Section over the sale and distribuiton of farm products Although there has been an- nouncement of plans the Frederick ('ullnl_v branch of the Maryland and _\rrcvnm Milk Producers' Association is preparing to renew its fight to compel all_dlfllnbumrfl of milk to renew their agreement to deduct brokerage from the checks of dairy- men, members of the milk association, who are shipping through Washing. ton distributors. Without the brok- emgp_dpdu\:v.lun the association will be without funds to operate, it i declared. Although no. the association is well organized in Frederick County, it does not by any means control the entire milk production of the county. Some dissatisfaction has developed among members, who have signed association contracts, relative to the deduction of brokerage. Their con- tention is that dairymen not members of the association and not under con- tract to pay brokerage, receive checks in full, and are enjoying a financial advantage which is not given the association. The -brokerage charge of the association is 10 per cent of the monthly check, collected by the distributor, and paid to the associa- tion treasuver. Lutherans Here for Meeting.
