Food Fight Test Now On.

New York, Feb. 8.-With extreme
cold weather tending to drive quota
tions up and the first wave of enthus-
iasm in the crusade against the high
food prices receding, the campaign in
metropolitan territory settled down to-
day to something like an endurance
contest.
The week opened, however, with
prospects of trouble for the combines
alleged to be illegally keeping up rates
for necessaries of life through misuse
of cold storage and other means.
New York and New Jersey erewed
activities in the campaign. Attorney
General O'Malley, of New York state,
is credited with the intention to in
woke an old injunction against the
packing companies granted in the Su-
preme court in 1902 and forbiddine
them from fixing meat prices and pre-
venting competition by agreement as
to rates and supply.
Regulative ordinances introduced in
the New York board of aldermen anc
aimed practically at cold storage evils
are to be pressed for passage.

BLAST BLOWS SEVEN TO ATOMS
Prominent Arizona Mining Men Die
on Private Motor Car.

Prominent Arizona Mining Men Die
on Private Motor Car.
Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. S.-Heedless vf
the warning of foreman in charge of
the big excavating operation along the
lire of the private motor road from
Kelvin to the Ray copper mines, the
motorman of gasoline car containing
six passengers, ran close to the exca-
walton just as sputtering fuse burned
to heavy charge of dynamite this af-
ternoon, and the car and its seven oc-
cupants were blown to atoms.
The foreman had discovered missed
shot in the excavation at noon and be-
fore the motor car came in sight he had
relighted the fuse.
AS the car approached he signaled
the motorman and warned him of the
impending explosion. Motorman Ly-
all, evidently believing he could take
his car past the charge to safety, be-
fore the explosion, paid no heed to the
warning and started again at full
speed.
Just as the car was passing the
charge, the explosion came, and the
car with its load of human freight was
blown high in the air amid a great
cloud of debris. The lives of all those
inside the car were snuffed out in an
instant. The dead men were all prom.
inent in Arizona mining affairs.

Chicago, Feb. 8.-"The farmers are
not respor sible for the high prices of
food," was the statement today of C.
o. Drayton, of Indianapolis, president
of the National Union, American So
ciety of Equity.
'The farmer receives little more
than be did before the prices Of food
stuffs scared to the skies From hogs
to apples this is true. In every par
ticular is the farmer taking all the
risk of producing and getting only a
moderate price for his output
"The dealers are the ones who are
responsible for the high cost of living
and we propose 10 show that it cannot
be laid at the door of the farmer" said
Mr.. Drayton before the convention of
the Milk Producers as soc alton. The
delegates are meeting with the determ-
nation to form national organizs-
tion for the protection Of the farmer in
his dairy and other products.

Drayton. "Let the responsibility rest
where it belongs, but it doesn't belong
on the farmers shoulders.

Senator w. F. Rondebrison, repre-
senting the Tri-State Dairy association
of Indiana, Kentucy and Ohio, told the
delegates how the organization which
he represents managed to bring
dealers into line.
"We found" said Mr.. Rondebrison.
"that the producers of this territory
were getting but or 10 cents a gallon
for milk that the dealers were selling
for cents quart, and it looked as if
it we time to go to work, and 30 we
did. We formed our association and
these dealers paid no attention to our
demands, 80 we didn't send any milk tc
market.
"We kept this up all during the
month of August, until the buyers saw
that we meant business and they offer
ed US from IL to l6 cents q gallon, SC
we began marketing cur milk again.
81 find that the average producer al
over the country now gets ID cents in
the winter and IL cents in the summer,
so you can see for yourselves who gets
the profit at 8 cents quart to the con
sumer."
