BLAME NEW TRUST
FOR MILK "SCARES"
Dealers Will Ask Congress to
Probe Methods of Men Who
Sell Machinery.

. Ch:.ses that the "Pasteurization
trust has started 'bad-milk scares''
throughout the country for the pur-
pose of promoting the sale of pasteuriz-
ing machinery and that officials of the
Department of Agriculture are perse-
cutting milk dealers as the result of
these "scares" will be filed with Con-
gress in the near future by representa-
tives Of the dairy interests OF the coun-
try. who will assemble in this city to
demand an invetigation Of the food in
spection service OF the department

OF score or more states are expected
to arrive in Washington the latter part

ton on Congress. on arrival here the
dairymen will go into conference with
Attorney Henry +. Davis and Matthew
f.. O'Brien, of this city, who will rep
resent them before the congressional
committee whose duty It is to hear such
complaints.
Charges Against Doctors.
1t Is charged that the ''pasteuriza-
ton trust" of which certain officials
of the food inspection service of the
department are alleged to have coRni-
zance, has been making a practice OF
paying physicians In different sections
Of the country to start scares on milk
IN this manner. the dairymen believe.
the trust" promotes the pasteuriza ton
OF milk, and starts crusades against
dealers who do not pasteurIze their milk.
The pasteurization machinery can he
bought. the dairymen allege, only from
the trusts factories
Attorneys Davis & OBrien. who ren-
resented the one hundred or more mill
dealers arraigned in the Police Comrt
yesterday on charges of selling milk
containing an excess of bacteria. won
the nrst sklrmish OF the legal battle
which will probably be CARRIED IN the
Supreme Court of the United States to
determine when milk is legally .'uno
wholesome and unfit for food"
Judge Pugh overruled the motions of
attorneys for the defendants To uus sh
the information charging the excess Of
bacteria and the presence OF .baciIII in
milk. but the court granted the hill ~
particulars requested by the defense re-
curing the prosecution to specjfv in
each case what foreign substance each
specimen contained and in what uuan-
tity.
Favoritism Alleged.
Attorney O'Brien, in arguing the mo-
ton to quash the informations. de-
clared that favoritism had been shown
certain milk dealers by the District
health authorities. He declared that
the treatment accorded the milk deal
ers by the Health Department and the
Department of Agriculture was unfair.
The prosecution asked to have the cases
against the milk dealers 70 over until
July 16, to give time for the preparation
of the bill Of particulars in each case.
