Washington, ID. c. Especially -
by officers of the Washington Milk
Dealers Association that a multi
millionaire milk trust" is seeking to
control the milk supply of the large
cities in order to establish monop-
oily for the manufacture of pasteur-
izing machinery, Attorney General
Wickersham ordered an investiga-
tion. The charges we're made at a
hearing before the District commits
sioners, held in connection with a
campaign that is being waged by the
milk producers against pasteuriza-
ton and the turerculin test.
At this hearing Corbin Thompson,
the vice-president of the dealers as
ISOLATION, and A. s. Trundle, chair
man of the executive committee,
charged that an alleged gigantic
trust, headed by Levi p. Morton,
Thomas +. Ryan and Anthony Brady
and including a number of the fore
most financiers of the country, sought
to control tho milk supply in order
to sell their pasteurizing machines,
and to this end were bringing pres
sure to bear on the health officers of
large cities.

scientists from the various govern
mCnt departments in Washington and

directly or indirectly influenced by
the trust. 1t was stated that the chief
Of the New York City Health Depart
. ment was removed and an ardent
disciple of pasteurization was sub
stituted in the interest of the alleged
trust. At the hearing Mr.. Rudolph,

charges and to call upon Messrs.
Thompson and Trundle for any in
formation they may possess to sub
stantiate their charges. The situa-
tion in Chicago will be first investi-
gated and after that the question of
the milk supply IL every other large
city will be taken up.
1t was further charged that the
milk inspectors of Washington were
incompetent and ignorant Dealers
said that they could prove that tests
made at Union Station by local in
specJors of milk brought to Wash
ington from Maryland were wholly
unsatisfactory and unreliable. The
charges against the local inspectors
will be taken up by the District Com
missioners after tie government has
