Increases in consumer milk prices after that date will depend on the action taken by the varl-; ous provincial milk boardij, to whom price authority will be re turned, but it is believed that the average increase across Canada will be two cents a quart. Prime Minister Mackenzie King made the announcement Wednesday afternoon that the cabi net had reviewed its earlier decision, and had found no reason for reversing Its decision. The subsidy on fluid milk has been 55 cents per hundred pounds, which amounts lo about iy2 cents a quart. The Prime Minister said that the cabinet felt that the contin uance of the subsidy might be justified if it could be instrumental in holding milk prices; at their present levels. However; he added, Indications are that even it the subsidy were maintained, milk prices might increase Comment last night by prov incial agriculture heads arid farm group leaders Indicated that they -felt milk prices would increase from l2 to 2 cents' a quart after September 30. E. C. ,Carr, chairman or tne British Columbia milk board, predicted that milk prices in British Columbia probably would rise about two cents a quart when the subsidy is U.S. ARMY-SLAPS CLAIM ON MEAT WASHINGTON W The Unit ed States Army siariped a claim today on one-fourth of all the meat turned out by. federally-inspected slaughter houses as a pre-election storm over baTe butcher counters mounted in Intensity. jwy&;..tbdm over the issue -or Keeping piux, lids on the rapidly . vanishing commodity, too Democratic party chiefs assembled here for a huddle that appeared certain to take note of the situation.
