NEW YORK MILK COMMITTEE 199 



New York City ; Ira S. Wile, M.D., New York City ; Stephen 

 G. Williams, New York City." 



THE CHAIRMAN: You have heard the reading of the resolu- 

 tion, are there any remarks? 



(On motion, duly seconded, the resolution was adopted.) 

 DR. WILE: Mr. Chairman, the next is as follows: 



"Resolved, That all resolutions adopted at all sessions of the 

 conference be referred to the Committee just formed, with

(On motion, duly seconded, the resolution was adopted.)

 consumers, in a given locality, and the minimum price that shall 

 be paid by dealers to producers of milk, in a given locality, 

 and no dealer should be allowed to engage in the milk business 

 without obtaining a license from the Commission, these licenses 

 to be revocable by the Commission for violation by the dealers, 

 of the prices established." 



(The resolution was duly seconded.) 



MR. WILLIAMS: I would like to say a word on that. If I un- 

 derstand that resolution rightly, and I am not sure that I do 

 it would bind this Conference to the aproval of a law authorizing 

 a State Commission to set the minimum price at which a man 

 might sell his produce, and he could not sell it for anything lower 

 than that price. Therefore, if no one wished to purchase it at the
