BIG TIN" REFORMER.
Wants Senate to Take Up
"White SlaUe" Question.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune !

BY Telegraph to The Tribune
Albany, Jan. Big Tim" Sullivan
sprang forth to-day as an apostle of
purity and light He introduced a bin
for the Incorporation of the Worlds
Bible League. and presented a resolu-
tion demanding an investigation OF the
"white slave" traffic. expressing his
ardent desire TO send any man that has
got guilty knowledge of the subject to
states prison or hell. and l don't care
which" Sullivans introduction of the
resolution brought out much LAUGHTER.
The Bible League bill is a perennial
here. When it was brought to the desk
Big Tim sent with il a resolution,
which he insisted on having read. though
this was out of the proper order Of busi-
ness. The resolution. somewhat tart in
terms called on the Senate Judiciary
Committee TO consider" the subject and
make a report by March l whether
further investigation was necessary or
what laws should be drafted to check
the traffic in women.
If such organized traffic exists any
where within the state. says the resolu-
be uprooted.' and if not true lit is a
shameless SANDER upon the good name
of the city and state" The state should
not wait for federal action, it declares.
but should take such measures as will
punish the offenders and stamp out the
vice II ii exists
Sullivan asked for immediate consider
alton of this resolution. Senator Aids
objected, whereupon Sullivan roared a
protest against delay.
This terrible subject was brought
into the last campaign cunningly and
cIeverly'' said he. "and the finger of
suspicion was pointed at thousands of
decent men in New York. l feel very
badly over this subject because these
articles were brought in by irrespon-
sible speakers on the street corners, and
men mentioned that never dreamed or
heard of such a thing"
The resolution was referred to COM
mittee.
Senator Frawiey introduced bill de-
signed to aid in the suppression of
white slavery" by providing more strin-
gent penalties for those convicted of
carrying on the traffic.

MILK MEN EXPLAIN.
Say Cost of Production Has
Gone Up Considerably.

Several witnesses were heard in the in
vestigation of the alleged milk monopoly
yesterday before Referee R. G. Brown.
Benton r. Howell, Goshen farmer who
owns one share of the Consolidated Milk
Exchange, testified that the exchange and
the Bordens fix the price, but that he had
never heard of any oral or written agree
ment between the dealers. It is now IA
cents quart.
Another Goshen man, Charles f. Johnson
who holds five shares of Consolidated, said
that the fact that farmers were represented
in the exchange gave them a say in fixing
the price which was Is on the average
throughout the year AS to the difference
between the present prices of ~ cents To
farmers and cents TO customers, Brown,
the first witness, did not think the dealers
profit very large. Feed alone costs IA
cents. and labor must also be considered
by the farmer he said.
Alexander Campbell, head of the Brook
Iyn milk firm of that name, had testified
that the profits of the company were S42.-
coo for the entire year of 1908 and $4,000
for the first six months of 1909.
II would like to explain those figures"
said Mr. Campbell "They We're published
in the newspapers ana make us look like d
second Standard Oil. 1t has been assumed
that our profit would be proportionately
large for the second half of the year. The
fact is that we have to make all our profit
in the first six months TO come out ahead"
In October the companys books showed
a loss of $10,169. and the cent price
was then necessary, according to Mr..
Campbell, in order to prevent loss of
$1,000 for November and December. He
estimated the cost of handling milk from
farmer to consumer at cents a quart. A
retail wagon selling less than two hundred
quarts a day would lose money. he said.
He denied emphatically to Special Deputy
Attorney General John b. Coleman, who
conducted the investigation, that he had
discussed with .. II. g Beakes the testimony
to be given, and asserted that he appeared
purely as a voluntary witness.
The last witness was Alfred Ely. counsel
for the exchange and also a milk producer.
Ely testified that the price a quart paid
the farmer had increased from % cents in
1893 to 3.39 cents last year and 4.25 cents at
the present time. despite the fact that the
cost Of feed and labor had almost doubled.
