No damage was done, and the police

POLICE ACT AS MILKMEN
Sell to Jersey City Mothers and In
valids.

Municipal authorities in Jersey City
began distributing milk through the
police stations yesterday morning. To
break even" on cost and overhead
charges they were forced to charge 10
cents quart. AT this prioe between
$50 and 200 quarts, all that had been
sent in. were sold to mothers of nurs-
ing children and to invslids.
Frank Edssll, Superintendent OF
Health, has arranged with dairymen in
Sussex County, n. j., for supply that
may run as high as 5000 quarts day,
although he believes that $500 quarts
will prove sufficient.
The municipality, to make certain OF
the quality OF the milk it sells, has
established its own pssteurization
plant at Schwartzwood.

Dairy Monopoly Charged.
There has been much talk of a
milk trust" declared William +.
Berg, president Of the Standard Dairy
Company, of Gil East Twelfth street.
Let any lawyer or layman read a copy
Of the agreement farmers have been
talked into signing with the Dairy
mems League and then ask where this
trust is. The Dsirymen's League has
a monopoly on the milk situation in
New York City, the natural result OF
which will be to raise and not lower
the cost OF milk. The farmers have
been sold out body and soul to the
Dairymen's League and its agent. John
J. Dillon.
1--WE are standing a loss Of from $500
TO $500 a day. which will give you an
idea what this means to some con-
Germs. Such firms as ours, which sell
dip milk or wholesale the product to
grocers in cans, who in turn retail It
for five and six cents a quart, enable
the poor to get cheap milk.
Suppose we should be wiped out
and the big dealers. those who sell
their milk in bottles. take oyr places

is doing"
c. II. c. Beakes. head of the Beakes
Dairy Company. at 206 East Twelfth
Street, and who has sold milk in New
York for forty-eight years, asserted
the Dairymen's League "is not COM
