MILK PRODUCERS TO
CONSIDER SITUATION

A meeting of the Worcester Milk
Producers Association has been called
for Wednesday at 1870 a. m, in Hor-
tfcultural Hall. The call was issued
yesterday by President J. Lewis Els
worth and Secretary Albert FIagg
One of the prime movers in the call
ing of the meeting is Alderman Louis
]. Kendall. Mr.. Kendall called at Hor-
ticultural Hall Friday and talked with
Secretary A. A. Hixon about gather
ing of milk producers to discuss the
situation. Mr.. HiXon reminded him Of
the existence of the association and
suggested that the secretary and presi-
dent be asked to call a meeting and
revive the activity of the organization.
This fact partially accounts for the
summons issued yesterday.
There has been, however, a general
demand for some time now that the
milk producers and sellers in the city
get together and do something to rem
der their affairs more prosperous
with grain at S1.55 a bag, at which fig
ure a raise of five cents a bag yester-
day put the price, the farmers cannot
affird to produce milk and sell it at
the current rates. Unless the farmers
who sell their milk to wholesalers or
retail dealers can get 80 cents a can
at their farms they viii send their milk
to Boston for the Boston contractors
nave just IlldUe a raise OF TOUR cents
per can in the price they offer and now
give 30 cents can, collecting the milk
at the farms.
The producers. the retailers and the
grain dealers are all anxious to come
TO some agreement to raise the retail
price of milk to at least seven cents
quart The grain dealers are inter-
ested because the farmers are not buy
ing grain for their cattle at the pres
ent high price saying that they cannot
afford 1t. If the grain dealers can in
duce the milk dealers to get a cent
q quart more out of the public they
think they can sell more grain.
Another consequence of the little
grain that is being used by the farmers
Is that the COWS do not give as much
milk and the supply is in consequence
short.
This is the situation which the meet
ing Wednesday will consider. AS one
dealer pointed out to The Spy report
er, if anything is to be done, it must
be done at once, because in about a
month the supply of milk will be more
abundant from actual causes, and it
will be very hard then to get the
retailers to combine.

Episcopal Church Wants Them
For Its Mission Work at Home
and Abroad to Keep Up the
Present High Standard
MONEY ALSO WANTED
TO BUILD HOSPITALS
Episcopal Missionary Conference
Which Has Been in Session at
Rochester During Past Week
Closes and Its Needs Are Made
Known to the World

Rochester, N. Y, Dec THE Epis-
copal missionary conference which has
been in session here during the past
week closed tonight. In the opinion of
some Of those who were in closest
touch with it the convention has
brought out distinctly the following
things:
First, the Episcopal Church has pre-
eminent call to mission work in Latin
American lands.
Second, it sadly needs young men for
its mission work both at home and
abroad
Third, it's present supply Of funds for
prosecuting its present mission work
and for entering upon its larger OPP
portunties is utterly inadequate.
Fourth, the laity and even some Of
tins bishops and clergy are responsible
for the apathy which prevails through
out the church toward missions and
the nigardly pittances which are given
in the name of the missions
Fifth, the church at large needs a
revival, d fresh baptism Of the Holy
Spirit and systematic instruction in
order that zeal for mission work may
be aroused, stimulated and sustained.
Sixth the men Of the church should
be systematically organized for the
purpose of coming to the aid of the
missionary cause and sharing the bur
dens which have so long rested upon
the women and children.
Right Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe, D.
D., bishop of Alaska, in an interview
today, said:
I'VE sadly need money for hospitals,
for schools and for native helpers. We
are the only denomination in Alaska
who train the natives to help us in our
mission work. They are content to la
Dor for 800 year, which we pay them
in grub. We have three hospitals In
Alaska. They are alievating untold
misery, but we want to build more, es-
pecially one at Nome. The others are
at Rampant, Circle City and Skagway
"Our native schools could be planted
everywhere, but we have not the
money 10 plant them. DR.. Sheldon
Jackson, the commissioner Of schools
for Alaska, is a Presbyterian and he
has helped. the schools Of his own de-
nomination with government money
but our schools receive not a penny
from the government"

POLITICIANS ADD TO
POST OFFICE WORK

Postmaster j. Evarts Greene reports
that the week which ended last night
has been the mmost trying since he
took charge Of the Worcester post
office. Nearly every voter in Worcester
has received at least half dozen let
tiers during the past week as the may
orally campaign committees and the
aldermanic candidates have made free
use Of the mails to get their candi-
dacy before the voters. This meant a
pile of work for the post office clerks
and carriers, and Postmaster Green has
had every available man at work. Some
Of the men were new to the work, so
the bulk of it fell on the old men, who
were kept on the jump until the last
delivery yesterday afternoon. At that,
there is a lot Of the political stuff to
be delivered tomorrow.

Edward F. Fletcher and Leaders
in the Republican City Com
mittee Confident of Success
Tuesday
CHAIRMAN AVER CAUTIONS
AGAINST OVER CONFIDENCE
Rally of CoIored Republicans to
Be Held This Afternoon and
Several Meetings Scheduled to
Close the Campaign Tomorrow
Night

There was general feeling last
night at Republican Headquarters that
all indications promised a Republican
victory on Tuesday. However, Daniel
c. Aver chairman of the Republican
City Committee, said that perhaps 1t
had been unwise to express too much
assurance of success as many good Re-
publicans would think that their ticket
would be elected without their indi-
vidual vote and not take the trouble
to go to the polls.
Other conservative men felt that re-
ports which emanated from Republic
can or Democratic headquarters We're
not to be relied on by either party. Re-
publicans and Democrats alike claim
certain factions and the votes of the
colored people, the French and Swedish
vote
Last night was a busy one at head
quarters. Voters of Wards two, four
and eight had meetings and went over
the check lists very carefully. Com
mittees reported good progress and
said that they had pledges of big
vote in every precinct. The City Com
mittee was busy planning for the
check list in each precinct, for car
riages, etc.
Edward F. Fletcher was in his office
all the evening meeting the workers
from different wards, and talking over
the situation, making plans to hold the
votes which have been pledged. Some
think that eight Republican aldermen
may be elected. Six Republican alder
men to three Democratic seems a big
enough majority to even the most
partisan leaders
Tie City Committee desires every
Republican voter to remember to vote
for six aldermen and six only. In times
past much confusion has been caused
by the long list Of aldermanic candi-
dates, and some would vote for two or
three and sometimes for more than
six, regardless of Instructions.
There will be a meeting of colored
Republican voters this afternoon at
| o'clock at 274 Main Street. Raymond
Jones will preside. There will be
speaking, and songs by a male quartet
Monday night there will be four rail-
lies, one in Ste Famillie Hall; one at
Station 2; one in Good Templar Hall.
Quinsigamond one at English Social
Club. Every effort will be made 10
bring out a large Republican vote in
Ward five.
Monday there will be a meeting OF
Ward seven Republicans and also the
closing work of the City Committee
will be done, and everything put in
readiness for Tuesdays election.

George Slosson in a 4O0-point game to-
night in the International championship
billiard match which is now in progress
at the Madison Square Garden Concert
Hall, but Schaefer was laid up with a
cold. Louis Barutel the French expert
took Schaefer's place and played an ex-
cellent game against Slosson. At times
it looked as if the Frenchman would win
but the student was always equal to the
occasion, and won by a narrow margin
In order TO ill the schedule OF games.
Schaefer will have to play in the last
three contests of the tournament. Should
he be capable to WELD his cue, he will
have to play on Monday afternoon, on
Monday night and on Tuesday afternoon.

he was confident he would gain the
championship. Following is the score Of

high runs, IS, 3d. q; average, Z Isl.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE
TO MEET TUESDAY NIGHT

The committee on street lighting
which was ordered to make a report
on the advisability Of municipal own
ership Of lighting plants meets Tues
day night despite the election.
Alderman Edward ]. Mcmahon in
troduced an order at a meeting OF City
Council some time ago directing an in
Vestigation. Just what the committee
report will be is, of course, uncertain
but it was said at City Hall yesterday
that while many of the City Council
believe in municipal ownership of cleo
trio lighting plants, nevertheless the
cost of obtaining the same was a great
drawback. The report may be sent in
in time for some action at the next
city Council meeting, Dec. 16.
