On duty and the regulars augmented

cally la state OF siege. Following
the bloody rioting of yesterday. street
nshlng was resumed when the street
car company, whose employees are ON
strike. attempted To run its cars today.
because many of the workmen were
forced TO resume their regular en-
ployment today, the rioting was not
so severe as yesterday and the police
managed TO break up all OF the fights
without serious damage being done.

NEW YORK MILK
TRUST IS PR0BED
Investigators Discover How Big
Dealers of Eastern Metropolis
Hold Up Prices.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2l.-It's delight
ful to hear them say what they're go
Ing 10 do with the milk trust in New
York.
Wipe out the milk trust WHITTIER
It's legal or not, is the cry in New
York. Babies are worth more than
dividends.
The cry was begun when the trust
raised the price of milk from cents
to 9 cents "A bottle.
The attorney general Immediately
appointed j. &. Coleman. an attorney
TO investigate the trust.
In addition TO this the grand jury
also began an investigation, under the
district attorney
This Is how the trust is operated:
There are three big milk companies
I'm New York; in addition TO this there
is the Consolidated MIX Exchange.
which Il made up of about so dealers.
The milk exchange has board OF
directors which met every six weeks
20 fix the value" OF milk-that is, the
price To be paid the man who pro-
duces IL.
So the dairymen around New York
had to take what the milkmen would
pay for milk. which was, on the aver
age. about 3l-3 cents a quart--mark
1t. ) IL cents a quart.
Now. any farmer will tell you that
economic as he Till. after the cost
ca feed. stabling and care of his cows
has beer deducted. there is little or
nothing left to the dairy owner who
must sell his milk for 3 l-3 cents a
quart. And then II state inspector
comes along and orders cement floors
In the stable and other costly improve
ments. the ordinary farmer throws up
his hands and quits the business
And don't think for minute that
the hundreds OF deserted dairy farms
in New York state have made the milk
trust weep
Last October the trust was paying
only l-3 cents quart for milk. but
II raised the price in New York /
cent to 3 cents a quart
This meant that the trust. for sim
ply handling the milk was receiving
3 2-S cents quart. while the farmer
received only little more than 3
cents
But the best plan OF all was the
MIX Dealers Protective association
Many Of the members OF the Consoli-
dated Exchange, which fixed the price
TO farmers. belong 10 the protective
association. And this association
voted to always charge 3S cents more
a can than the Consolidated Exchange
paid for milk
The trust thought that by this ar
rangement they could escape the law
that prevents them from fixing prices
to consumers.
