EIGHT MILK COMPANIES
CUT PRICES IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan. 25.-Eight big milk COM
panies in the greater city have followed
the lead Of the Alexander Campbell con-
Germ in deciding to reduce the price Of
milk from 10 s cents quart. Some Of
these companies announce that the re-
duct!on will go into effect at once. in
stead Of on February l, the date on which
the Campbell COmpany's cut will become
operative. The action Of these nine COM
panies probably means that New York
will again have Scent milk all around.
New York, like most Of the other cities
OF the country, also was blessed to-day
with reductions in the prices Of other
foodstufs that recently have been soar
ing skyward.
The most of these drops were in the
wholesale market, but they are bound 10

Thursday. Lamb went off from u to II
cents wholesale. and pork loins, which
we're quoted at l6 cents on Saturday,
dropped about cents. In Manhattan the
wholesale price of beef was not much
affected. but over in Brooklyn the whole

WILEY, AT HEARING,
TELLS OF SINISTER
WORK IN DISTRICT

Dr.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief Of the Bu-
reau Of Chemistry Of the Department Of
Agriculture, yesterday threw out some
dark hints at the hearing before the spe-
cial committee which is investigating the
high prices OF the necessities of life IN
the District. concerning the sinister infiu-
ences that had resulted IN repeating the
provisions for the efficiency Of cold
storage in the preservation Of food prod
ucts.
Dr. Wiley was certain the cold storage
people themselves had nothing 10 DO with
IL: OF course. the consumer was innocent
Declined TO De Led.
But there he stopped. He declined to
be led by members Of the committee any
further into the process Of elimination.
All lie would say as that the provision,
which had been carried in one Of the ap-
preparation bills for the last eight or ten
years. was eliminated last year, and that
the fact had hampered the work OF the
Bureau OF Chemistry in protecting the
public from deleterious food products.
Aside from this bit OF an intimatton
that large interests had been at work IN
der cover with great success. yesterday s
hearing had TO do with the great Ameri-
can hen-in fact. Dr. Wiley delivered a
monoIogue on the hen, with few inter-
ruptions and verbal interlineations by
members Of the special committee.
DR.. Wiley then briefly reviewed the
methods Of the department IN conducting
inquiries
Some Of the most grievous evils OF
cold storage" he declared, ARE due &c
the advanced state OF decomposition OF
the article when placed in cold storage
II is not fair to take the condition OF
such articles when removed from cold
storage as an example Of the effects OF
cold storage upon them"
Not Yet Certain.
AS a matter Of fact. the doctor said, Il
had not yet been determined just how
long perishable food products, which had
been placed In cold storage while perfect
ly fresh, could be kept there. He though
limit Of six months on eggs would bt
too short and year too long, because
that would permit eggs of one season Z

off-haad, would fulfill all objections.
He was not able to answer q question
by Representative Godfrey as TO whether
the commission men OF the District wert

subject, he said.

DISTRICT JANIT0RS
JOIN FOOD MOVEMENT

Interest in the fight against high prices
OF meats and other food supplies develop
ed yesterday In a new and unexpected
quarter among the employees OF the Dis
trict government. The result is that the
products OF the meat trusts have been
placed on the weldon -patronize" list by
janitors Of the Municipal Building.
While this addition to the ranks Of the
army Of men and women Of the country
who are fighting the high prices numer-
lcaIly is less than a score. 1t indicates the
masses are waking Up TO the importance
.of the issue.
When the day force at the Municipal
Building left their work yesterday at
noon 10 eat their lunches. it was to enjoy
a modest repast composed OF baked beans.
without the usual pork, bread, without
butter, preserves or syrup being used in
stead. Not single lunch-box or dinner
pail contained a particle OF meat Some
Of the men brought with them either
fresh or sailed fish
This movement among the colored en-
ployes Of the big building was started by
Ed Allen. chief cleaner. He said ysster-
day that the prices of meat for the men
Of mis- class were practically prohibitIve.
He said every man Of the force that had
entered into the agreement had kept faith
and were now out Of the intoxicating
class. Allen said he would make an effort
to extend the movement to every janitor.

service.
