as it is In most large cities. As a re-
suit Of move made by the United
Stores association and following the
plan proposed by it Of bringing to-
Eether producer and retailer, u meet
ing was recently held that threw a
scare into the milk trust and brought a
ray Of light to thousands of conslm-
ers. Following is a partial account Of
the meeting given by n New York
newspaper:
"A secret session of the Dairymen's
league, Incorporated, was held at the
United States hotel, Newburg, N. Y,
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 cooperative as
ISOLATION composed Of producers and
distributors and thereby eliminate the
middlemen. Definite action on the
proposition was deferred pending an
by committee headed
by the league president, John Y. Ger
row of Washingtonville.
1.-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
that they control 500 distrib-
lting points. Their plan is to deliver
he products of the farm and dairy

'ible to the consumer.

creased. The percentage of decrease,
the promoters said, would permit them
TO reduce the price to the consumers
and yet enable the farmers to get more
for their output.
Control Milk In Five States.
"The members of the Dairymen's
league are interested principally in
milk. 1t developed that the New York

Members Of the league say they

py 8 cents quart for milk and the
pducers get only cents quart
tHlS DliuSc NIL NtTEOW,
psident of the league, said:
The farmer is not getting enough
fo his products, and the consumer is
ping too much. The farmer has got
toet more. and the consumer should
nobe compelled to pay more and, in
fa cannot afford to pay more; hence
it up to us to reduce the cost to the
CONNER and increase the receipts Of

"'e Dairymen's league represents

same articles and service differ, far less
because OF any difference in actual cost
than because Of the absence or operation
OF regulative custom and law. But
wherever the way is left open for extor-
Tomato charges to be wrung from people,
when least capable of protecting them
selves either because Of their ignorance

generosity of grief, there prices rise and
exploitation levies the heaviest toll that
the distraught heart or strangely common

Western Casket company advertised its
