N. Y. MILK STRIKE LOOMS CANTON, N. Y., May 26.— Possibility of another statewide milk strike faced upstate New York today after 800 members of the Dairy Farmers Union voted to demand higher prices for their June and July milk. Unless metropolitan dealers meet the price demands, Archie Wright, Ogdensburg, chairman of the general organization committee, said union members will use a strike as an enforcing agency to secure the base price of .50 for June milk, and .75 per hundred for July milk, which they voted at their meeting last night. The union members passed a resolution, declaring: "The milk dealers are unable or unwilling to end the present price war and chaotic conditions in the New York milk market. The milk prices are now unnecessarily and unbearably low. It seems these conditions will continue as the farmers permit."
