DA1RYMEN TO QUIT BUSINESS.
Milk Producers in Maryland Coun-

,cial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BOYDS, Md, August 26.-Many dairy
men in this part of Montgomery county,
and others in Frederick, Allegany
and Washington counties, who ship
milk to Washington and Baltimore
have announced their intention of 60
ing out of the dairy business because
of the low price paid for milk. Several
in this locality assert they intend to
dispose of their cows. turn their pas
lures under and raise corn and wheat,
as 1t is expected the present high prices
of these grains will continue for sew
eral years.
Increased taxes in this and other
counties in Maryland are given as an
other reason why dairymen, must go
out of the business and devote their
land to other uses. Increasing scarcity
of labor and high wages that must be
paid for labor on dairy farms are still
other reasons, while there is every
prospect of material advances in
freight rates on the railroads serving
this section
In the four counties mentioned it is
stated more than 100 dairy farms are
in operation, practically their entire
product being shipped daily to Wash
ington and Baltimore. Dairymen have
for some time complained of largely In
creased cost of feed and forage of all
kinds. with no increase in the price OBJ
tanned for their product.

ELECTION FRAUDS CHARGED.
Twenty Men Indicted by Federal
Grand Jury in West Virginia.

CHARLESTON. W. Va. August 20
Twenty men. including Edward o'Toole,
representative of United States Steel
coal interests in West Virginia, were
today indicted by federal grand jury
at Websfer Springs for alleged election
frauds IN Mcdowell county, this state.
The indictments cover only one election
district. An investigation will be made
in every county where frauds have
been reported.
O'Tooie., who is member of the gov
ernor's stan, is specifically charged
with having brought 200 voters into
the state and that they were used as
repeaters TO bring about the nomina-
ton of William F. Hite candidate for
United States Senate. The nomination
for United States Senate was used as
the basis for the indictment of O'Toole
and others because IL involves the cleo
ton of federal office holders. Immediate
trials will be sought and probably held
at Huntington. W. Va.

E|GHT-HOUR DAY FAILED
IN CALIFORNIA ELECTION
Railroad officials Point to Result In
That State, Commenting on
Presidents Statement.

Railroad officials assert that on the
only occasion when the question of the
eight-hour day was submitted to the
public for a decision it was defeated
almost exactly two to one. This is
offered in an attempt to controvert the
Presidents statement that society
sanctions the eight-hour day, and his
further comment that his plan for ad-
justing the strike controversy pro
poses that nothing be conceded ex-
cept the eight-hour day, to which the
whole economic movement of the times
seems to point"
Only Test of Public Opinion.
1t is pointed out that the California
voters passed upon the question of limit
ing the hours of employment in all occu-
pations to eight in an election held No
vember 8, 1914. The railroad may say this
Is the only actual test that ever has been
made of American public opinion on the
question. The result was 56o.SS1 against
and 2S2 $50 for the eight-hour day. OF
the fifty-eight counties in California the
eight-hour day failed to carry one. In
San Francisco the adverse majority was
smallest, being 1e,909 against to 49,t29 Tor.
In Los Angeles the vote was 133,iof

Women worked actively throughout
the campaign and cast more than 40 per-
