UP GOES THE
 PRICE OF MILK Dealers Vote Unanimously to Make It Eight Cents Quart Beginning
 Sept. 1.
DECISIVE ACTION
 TAKEN AT MEETING
Increase Made to Meet the Extra Expense of Produc- tion Through Vari-
 ous Causes.

When forty milkmen stood up yes terday afternoon in the rooms of the New Haven Business Mems association they unanimously agreed to raise the price of milk to eight cents per quart beginning September 1, claiming that the cost of supplying milk requires this advance of one cent.
 The meeting was called by James l. Webb, secretary of the licensed milk dealers of ewHaven, butthe invitation extended to milkmen outside of the exchange. Half of the forty present were not members, but showed hearty sympathy with the spirit of the meet ing.
 Vice President w. M. Russell pre- sided in the absence of Wilson H. Lee. President Charles G. Morris of the New England Dairy company was act ing secretary, The matter of increase cost of getting milk was strongly put forth at the meeting, 1s it has been threshed out before.
 It was argued that the farmers are asking more for their milk, that hay costs twice as much as 1t used to, grain one-third to a half more, and that the health board has issued strict rules as to the care of the milk at the farm. In justifying the producer for asking a better price for milk, the milkmen justified their action in rais- | ing their price to eight cents It was stated at the meeting that nine milkmen are already asking eight cents per quart for their product and would continue to do so regard less of any action of the exchange. Their view of the situation was adopt ed by the forty present at the meeting | yesterday.
 As Charles G. Morris put It, within eight years the milk business has been revolutionized. The first item of ex- pense adopted to give better milk was the bottles, adding also the expense of breakage of bottles and the loss of same, besides time spent in washing and filling bottles contrasted with the 40-quart can
 Unscrupulous competition which re- sorted to watering has been reduced by the W6JcnIulnSSS Ol IIl6 HStiIH pOdIui and the tests of the agricultural sta- ton, which has published the names of offenders. The result has been that the demand for real milk has be- come stronger because the supply of substitutes is less. Moreover, people who formerly took one quart have in- creased their orders, and this with the increase of population tends to the same extra cost of mix.
 Land near the city formerly used for grazing became too valuable, con sequently the bulk of milk has to be hauled from greater distances, and that adds fraction of cent to the cost of each quart.
 By this reasoning the milkmen ex- plained why the summer price of siz cents was not dropped back to from the winter charge of seven and in stead cent was added or will be or the first of September.

KAUFMAN BEATS sCHRECK
Cincinnati Boys Claim That He Was
 Fouled Overruled.

 San Francisco Aug. 29.-A Kauf- man tonight defeated Mike Schreck, of Cincinnati, in the seventh round. Kaufman in that round struck Schreck a low blow, and the easterner fell to the floor. He claimed he had been fouled, but Referee Roche refused to allow the claim, and as Schreck was not on his feet in ten seconds the fight was given to Kaufman. A physician who at once examined Schreck decid- ed that there was no evidence that a foul blow had been struck Kaufman had a slight lead up to the time the fight ended.

CLUBS
In A BIG TRADE

NEW YORK. Dec. 14.-One of the
biggest baseball deals in history was
put through at the Waldorf Astoria
last night when seven players figured
in dicker between the New York
and Boston clubs of the National Lea
gue.
New York gave up Catcher Bower
man, Shortstop Dahlen, First Baseman
McGann and Outhelder Browne for
First Baseman Tenney, Shortstop
Bridwell and Catcher Needham, of
Boston.
The deal was a big disappointment to
President Shettsline and Manager
Murray, of the Phillies, for they had
hoped 10 land Tenney This was inn
possible. though. for President Dovey.
of Boston, had declared that while he
would let Tenney go ne must get a
seasoned catcher in return. The Phil
lies had no man they were willing to
part with. for Manager Murray be-
lieves that Charley Doom is too good
a backstop TO let go
The lack of good catcher 70 trade
blocked the Phillies' chances for Ten
ney. Manager McGraw of New York
has been very anxious to make a trade,
for he realizes that he must get some
now blood on his Giants He tried TO
make a dickor with Cincinnati, in
which Browne and Dahlen figured with
Catcher Bresnahan, but for some rea-
son or other this could not be accom-
plished.

Ash colleotions.


Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
AS q regular subscriber to your
paper ] thought perhaps you would
allow me space to register my pro-
test against the manner in which our
Street and Sewer Department collects
the ashes Last Monday morning I
had occasion to pass down Market
street on my way TO my place of busi-
ness. and in passing Fourth and Mar
ket streets I was compelled TO get in
the way of the ash collectors. who
were gathering the ashes at that point.
Any one who has had any experience
knows what happened. A dark suit
of clothing which / had on looked like
a pepper ard salt suit after / had man
aged to escape.
Mr.. Editor, I think IL IS a shame TO
compel our people to run such a gaunt-
let while passing along the main busi-
ness street of our city. Why not coll
lect the ashes at night when people
are not compelled to he on the street.
IL (and street cleaning, tool is done at
night in other cities why not here.
Yours,
