! Producers Union east Of the Hudson River held a
convention for themselves in the evening at the rdho
Union Hotel These delegates were especially careru
| in procaiming that the objects OF their meeting u
organize themselves In no way antagonlsuc 10 e

ton Corners. accepted by a unanimous vote as tempo
| rarv chairman on the motion also OF Mr. Boucher

Chairman Benton said that they would be entitled to
one delegate from each section Of the sections east OF
the Hudson River Any plans that they might fornu
late could be submitted to the Executive COMMITTEE
! and they in turn would submit IL TO the Advisory
Board who would lay the suggestion before the Central
Union and have It fully discussed before being adopted
The delegates east Of the Hudson River would, OF
course be free to act independently in matters OF local
detail examples OF which could be furnished there and
then bv any Of the delegates present who had sugge
tons to offer.
T. j. Arnold, acting on the idea, offered resolution
TO the effect that committee OF three be appointed TO
wait on the president Of the Harlem Railroad Company
TO request that John Burlison, the freight
agent of the company, be Obliged 10
conhne his business TO that OF milk
Spectator or to that OF agent Of the railroad com
pany. Il make this notion said Mr.. Arnold "be-
cause Mr. Burson's present mode OF procedure Is IN
to anybody who comes along, and the rate at which
he has been able TO sell that milk, and does sell IT,
enables him to undersell the legitimate dealer" The
motion was seconded by several delegates, and was
followed by prolonged debate
Mr. Boucher said that he opposed to the resolu-
ton John B. butcher also spoke vigorously against
the adoption OF any such notion Daniel Kent moved
that the resolution be tabled and this was accordingly
