sPINELEss MILK PRODUCERS
Slump the Second Day in the Fight
 Against the Contractors.

The spirit of '76 that proved to be such a mighty asset of the farmers of old Windham county seems to have petered out in this later day of milk wars. and on Monday smorning, the second day of the campaign against the Boston milk barons and the star vation prices that they are insisting on paying for summer shipments, there was wavering and a breaking in the solid front absolutely necessary that the producers present to bring the grasping contractors to an equit- able basis of agreement. There will be no shortage of milk in Boston and there will be no higher prices for the farmers unless they make a better showing elsewhere in this part of New England than they have made to date in this section of the county. Their cause is lost from the start unless they get together. That they have not done that as yet was demonstrated when they all did not stay away from the train with their milk Monday. They made a fairly good showing Sunday, but this getting of higher prices is not a matter of one days fighting. The combination against them is too strong. Monday many of those who failed to ship on the day previous sent out their usual supply.
 Not all the farmers are retreating so easily from the position that they have taken. There are those among them who have the nerve to see this contention for better prices through to a finish. but the weak -kneed ones are falling down even on the skir- mish line As James F. Page, who ships from Wauregan. said Monday, and emphasized it by stating that he would stand back of it in print: There are those among us who are willing to take a higher price if somebody fights the battle for them" And that is the situation in a nutshell. MT. Page characterized the conduct of some of the farmers relative to holding to- gether as mulish to an eXasperating degree, and he said it positively.
 About f0 large cans were sent to Boston from Wauregan Monday The usual shipment is between 60 and 70 from that station. Nearly 20 large station. These shipments are regard ed by the stalwarts as entirely too large if victory is to be expected. A solid organization must be effected by the producers and that at once; other wise failure is inevitable. A few of the farmers who shipped Monday say they did so on the strength of reports that the contractors had agreed to pay the winter schedule of prices.
