"DoCToRED" MILK
Rule Of Chicago Milkmen's Union
Causes Trouble.

Chicago, May ,2O.-Infants and children
Of the rich as well as the poor of Chicago
are suffering from what practically
amounts to milk famine. With the ap-
proach of hot weather it is predicted that
there will be numerous deaths unless the
milk dealers arrange to make at least two
daily deliveries.
& There is plenty of milk, but owing to the
milk drivers union but one delivery can
be made each day. This did not matter
in the winter, but the advent Of warm
weather has placed a serious aspect upon
the ruling of the union.
It is charged that the milk is being doc
tored by the dealers so that it will keep
for at least forty-eight hours. The
chemicals used are said to be injurious
to the stomach.

an alleged attack on Mrs. Patterson al

is no foundation in fact for these stories
1t was all a mistake. This is all that

Wakefield Republican: Omaha has a

It's a safe bet, however, that the repub-
lican candidate, Mayor Moores, will be re-
elected by a rouslng majority.
Plainview Republican; Politics in
Omaha are considerably muddled. The
three-eornered contest for mayor is going
to be interesting. Rosewater has taken

for Moores. The opposition lie divided and
It looks as though Moores will be sue
ceeded by Moores.,
