NEW YORK MILK STRIKE on
HALF SUPPLY RECEIVED
New York, Oct. 2.-This city felt
first, pangs of milk famine today.
Only half usual supply was- served
and much of that was milk stored up
state in anticipation of the strike. -
Meantime distributors here - the
big three-sOught to have the dairy
mems league, the producers combi-
nation, investigated as an Organi-
zatiOn in restrain of selling. Dairy
mems representatives .TetOTted with
claim that they formed merely CO.
operative organization and that the
big three was in reality a vicious
trust. Albany authorities started
probing both questions.
Grown-Ups took milk famine phil
osophicaIly. At restaurants at
breakfast they abstained from &C.
reals needing milk or cream and
took their coffee straight. This was
in keeping with advertised appeals of
''big three that patrons consume
just as little as they could in order
that hospitals and babies might not
suffer Distributors arranged care
fully that these two groups should
get first consideration.
Upstate the farmers did picket
duty. Reports from number of points
told of raids on milk teams bound
for creameries Of big three. The
league has supply virtually cornered. |
To meet shortage partly the big
three has ordered shipments from as
far away as Canada and Illinois.
But they admit that they can hold
out little hope of anything but an &C

days. They are particularly bitter |

police against mobs, Mayor Fiske of
Mt. Vernon today called special al

Fiske's Sunday was most thrilling
he ever passed. Crowds, angered at
company's attempt to break strike
after several weeks of inactivity, at
tackled cars, spiked switches and
gave 200 police force an aH-day fight,
Motorcycle police, like cavalry,
charged strikers. Union heads

In city proper, cars ran normally,
but expected formal calling off of the

PROBE SHOOTING AFFRAY


The police today are investigating
a new angle of the Burr Oak inn
shooting ARRAY which cost the life of
one man last night. RUmors that
the shooting was the result of a feud
and not robbery, as Sam Harris, the
innkeeper, claimed, furnished the
motive for the quiz. Harris says he
was warned by telephone that a rob-
berry was coming off and that he and
his employees prepared. Shortly af-
terward an auto drove up and the
shooting commenced.
A man known to the police as
Peggy was killed. They are search
ing for Dan Hartman in the belief
that he was a member of the auto
party.
