YELLOW PERIL IS GROWING.
London Spectator Warns Powers
Against Further Hostility.

London, Jan. 26.-The yellow peril. or
more particularly racial prejudice. agra
waited by the immigration of Chinese and
japanese to the Western world continues
to be discussed prominently by the seri-
Gus press. The Spectator to-day takes a
rather alarming view and argues that
the white powers should speedily seek d
definite understanding on the subject with
China and Japan. 1t says, after review
ing the California situation:
The trouble has only Just commenced,
but it may rapidly become serious The
yellow peoples are very proud and very
sensitive. They do not acknowledge. as
for example. the negroes have hitherto
done, that there is any inherent inequality
between themselves and white men. and
in not acknowledging if the weight OF
argument is entirely on their side. They
do not even understand why their intru-
sion is disliked, and they see their way
to reprisals which might in certain con
dngencies, aS for instance. a great Euro.
pean war, develop into active HOSTILE
ties"

HiIk AT Old Prices.

The milk producers who supply Plila-
delphia and the dealers held a meeting
last Saturday i'll the Bourse. Philadel-
phia to discuss the question OF increasing
i the retail price OF milk during August to
1Oc a quart. George Abbot, ST., presid-
ed; Charles S. Atkinson, OF New Hope;
j. Walter Pancoast, of Wcodstown,
n. j., and Robert Cameron, of Norris
town, were prominent representatives OF
the farmers present, and the Milk Elk
change was in full attendance.
The result Of the discussion was to sell
milk during August at the old price Sc a
quart.
Robert Cameron, vice-president OF
the Philadelphia Milk Shippers Union,
with which some OF the local producers
are affiliated has issued a statement,
denying the report that the farmers have
anything to do with fixing the retail
price Of milk.
The conference GA Saturday, he says,
was held for the purpose of considering
the wholesale price, Oh what to be
charged the dealers.
The farmers were demanding 4 cents
per quart for the month OF August, while
the dealers were contending for the -
cents for August, ard an agreement or
some understanding about prices for a
period of II months. 1t was over
these two matters that the long dis
cussion was held, which finally resulted
in the price being agreed upon for August
only. The farmers. refusing to anticipate
the, conditions of the future, said they
would prefer to consider prices for the
balance of the year after they were in a
better position to know the probable cost
OF production.
The farmer not only bears the cost Of
producing the milk, but pays the freight
and furnishes the cans, many of which
are lost. These items OF expense, when
added to the great difficulty of getting
help OIL the farm at any price, makes 4
cents per quart an Improbable price for
milk, he says.
"Let me say as emphatically as pos
sible," he adds, ''that the farmers will
endeavor to keep the wholesale price OF
milk as low as conditions on the farm
will warrant, but will not hesitate to
advance the price when the cost of pro-
6uotiop warraOtS cunb oorion Ac 70 tho
retail price, that is a matter entirely in
the hands OF the dealers, and they must
determine at what price they can afford
to deliver milk to the consumer: the
farmers will take no part in determining
that question:"
wARNED BY ICE TRUST CASE.
A dealer prominently identified with
the milk business, in discussing the
failure of the meeting to have the rate
fixed for the next year, said; "The
very fact that the rate is only to go over
August permits one to predict an adj
vance,, and it will come unless the II
eral public takes up the fight against it.
It's the fear that is inspired by the ice
Trust prosecutions of last summer and
the present agitation against the raise
in the price of coal that is keeping milk
at s cents per quart.
The farmers are too far away to be
severely hurt by the newspaper LASH
ings, but the dealers are right ON the
spot and don't see enough profit il the
advance to brave the storm that would
be sure to break with a possible call fol
action by the District Attorney"
