N. Y. CAN'T
GET MILK


NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-This
city felt the first pangs of a milk
famine today. Only half the usual
supply was served and much of
that was milk stored upstate in
anticipation of the strike.
Meantime the distributors here
the Big Three-sought to have
to have the dairymen's league,
the producers combination, in
vestigated as an organization in
restraint of selling. The dairy
mems representative retorted
with the claim that they merely
formed cooperative society,
while the three was in reality a
vicious trust.
New York had probably only
half of it's customary 100000
quarts this morning.
The Big Three admit that as
matters now stand they can hold
out little hope of anything but
an actual milk famine within the
next four days.
