-, II is in most large cities. AS a re-
suit of a move made by the United
Stores association and following the
plan proposed by it of bringing to-
gether producer and retailer, a meet
ing was recently held that threw a
scare into the milk trust and brought
ray of light to thousands Of consum-

the meeting given by New York
newspaper:
"a secret session of the Dairymen's
league, Incorporated. was held at the
United States hotel, Newburg, N. T..
to listen to offers made by some men
from New York. who expressed a de-
sire to cooperate with the members
of the league and handle their entire
product.
The plan that was suggested at the
meeting is to form a cooperative as
ISOLATION composed of producers and
distributors and thereby eliminate the
middlemen. Definite action on the
proposition was deferred pending an
investigation by committee headed
by the league president, John Y. Ger
row of Washingtonville.
''The New York men, who were re-
ferred to as capitalists, asserted that
they had unlimited capital to back
them and were fully able to dispose Of
all the milk produced by the men,
bers of the Dairymen's league. They
asserted that they control 500 distrib-
uting points. Their plan is to deliver
the products of the farm and dairy
from the producer as directly as pos
sible to the consumer.

trusts by the simple expedient Of plac-

those in control of this movement is
that cooperation has previously failed
