milk consuming public the facts in
the case.
He said the farmers are not get
ting the raise recently decided upon
by an outstate arbitrator, and that
creameries now are getting a larger
share of the price paid by the con
sumer than they did before tlie dif
ference arose. Johnson said consum
ers pay nine cents a quajt and farm
ers get sir to nine cents a gallon.

Omaha. Members of the Nebraska-Iowa
Co-Operative Milk Producers
association Monday opened their
house to house canvass in the inter-'
est of their association in its strike
against two Omaha dairies, which re- i
fused to accept an arbitration price
decision.
Earlier .attorneys for one of the
dairies went into court and received
a restraining order preventing the
farmers from interfering with driv
ers of the companies' trucks, inter
fering with producers having con
tracts with the dairy or interfering
with customers. Clinton Brome,
dairy attorney, said he would de
mand the farmers be cited for con
tempt of court if they "use any false
representation, coercion, entirccients
or inducements," in their canvass of
the city.
The dairy's application for an in
junction will be heard Oct. C. In ad
dition to the association officers, de
fendants named in the application
for the restraining order included
the Roberts Dairy of Omaha, and
Emory Samson of Valley, as agent
for the Farmers Holiday association.

HUNT FOR MELLETTE HEIRS
Sacramento. Letters of adminis
tration for the estate of Dorothy Mil-
lette, mystery woman in the life of
Paul Bern. film, executive, were
granted by the superior court nere
to Public Administrator Herman
Koch. Mis Millette committed sui
cide by drowning in the Sacramento
river early thi3 month a day or two
after the husband of Jean Harlow,
film actress, ended his life.
Koch'e petition was uncontested.
Attorney Chester Cannon, who repre
sented Kcch, said the public admin
istrator will proceed to locate Miss
Millette'3 relatives and establish, if
possible, proof of her marriage to
Bern before he wedded Miss Harlow.
New York, Sept. 25. Achieve
ments of the American press in the
past year were pointed out by Carl
W. Aekerman, dean of the Columbia
university school of journalism, as
proof of the "rights of journalism to
full public recognition as a profes
sion." The conduct of newspapers lp
this country "in a year which test
ed the character and resources of ev
ery human activity" had not only es
tablished the right cf recognition as
a profession. Dean Aekerman said,
but had also proved "that journalism
as a business is a public service
unique in American economics."
His findings were contained in a
survey of the press for the past year
as a part of his first annual report on
the school to President Nicholas Mur
ray Butler.
"Journalism is advancing as a pro
fession with a momentum-that is des
tined to continue, despite the prevail
ing stagnation in advertising reve
nue, tne survey declares, ior two
fundamental reasons: First, because
the success ,of journalism as a busi
ness depends upon its progress as a
profession, and second, because jour
nalism is the chief agency of our
present civilization for the advance
ment of human relationships.
As news provides the sinews of
public opinion the newspaper is Indis
pensable in all public affairs, and as
long as the principal functions of the
state, the church, the home, the
school and business are dependent up
on public action, the press will ad
vance as a profession.
"As long as advertising is neces
sary in commerce and industry the
press will grow as a business by serv
ing the basic economic function of
bringing buyers and sellers together
anywhere at any time. Our confidence
in the future of journalism is found
ed upon these fundamentals."
