in some instances, an extra supply was
given TO insure against shortage to-
day.
No particular uneasiness was felt py
any of the hospital authorities over
possible shortage. The dealers had
promised these institutions when the
first indication of milk famine be-
came apparent that they, above all con-
sumers. would receive first considera-
ton. Thus far the promises have been
kept.

Back Milk from N. Y
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Olean, n. Y. Oct. 1.-The dairymen
of this county, organized by the Dairy
mems League, are holding tight to-
night, confident of success in sheir de-
mand for higher prices. Cheese and
butter factories are working overtime
handling the influx of milk that came
to-day. 1t is estimated that only Is
per cent of the normal amount was
delivered to-day to the local plants of
the Borden, the Sheffield and the
Merrell-Soule Company.
More than 1900 empty milk cans
were shipped from this county this
morning by the Sheffield concern to
Cleveland and western points, showing
that an effort is being made to get
milk in those districts for New York.

Dillon Issues Challenge.

my proposition in this fight is this
Mr.. Dillon continued. 81 promise to
take milk, if it is pasteurized, and dis
tribute it, after paying the farmer a
fair price. with reduced price to the
consumer"
A chorus of dissenting opinions an
swered this challenge.
- don't mean that the man in a
small dairy business is making too
much money" Mr.. Dillon added. Il
say the whole system OF distribution
of milk in New York is wrong and UNI
economic. The companies in charge of
this distribution have fallen down in
their duties to the public. Mr.. Hallock,
of the Borden company, has admitted
to me a dozen times that the system
is wrong. He's a good authority. A
year ago last July the Sheffield Farms
Company announced in the newspapers
that it was paying As per cent on its
common stock"
One dealer interrupted to tell Mr.
Dillon he would sell his entire dairy
plant to the Dairymen's League at a
price to be determined by an impartial
committee. F. W. Jensen, of the Jensen
Company, said he would sell for 10
cents on the dollar. Both were informed
by Mr.. Dillon that he was not trying to
get control of their plants.

Mr.. HUGHES AND THE CIVIL SERVICE

1t grieves and shocks Mr. Hughes as a 100 per cent candidate that
Republicans in office should have been replaced with Democrats under
a Democratic administration
Albert de Roodc, for six years assistant secretary Of the Civil Ser
vice Reform association and low its counsel, shows from the records that
Mr.. Hughes a governor ordered 2S civil service exemptions in less
than four years, as against 1872 exemptions in OdeIs four years and
sixty-two in Higgins two years. In addition, under the Hughes admin
istraton there we're 45 special exemptions with $lO76249SS compen-
saion, where appointments were made to competitive positions without
examinations. The Public Service commissions. created under Governor
Hughes, served as dispensers OF I'VE $lMONU in spois. During the
first year of the operation Of the law sixty-seven positions were exempt
ed by Mr.. Hughes.
"As a matter OF fact says Mr.. deRoode, those interested in civil
service reform made repeated efforts during the Hughes administration
to have him appoint a vigorous commission in full sympathy with the
merit system, but without success-New York World.

Raymond Robins. chairman OF the recent Progressive National con-

in the city of Chicago October 10. 1914:

The following, from the Stockton Mail, needs n O explanation:
Stockton, Cal, Sept. 4, 1916.
Editor Mail: At the regular meeting of Stockton Typographical
union, No. So, Sunday, the candidacy of Hon. Woodrow Wilson for re-
election as PRESIDENT of the United States ws unanimously indorsed.
At the same time the candidacy of Governor Hiram w. Johnson
for the United States senatorshp vas unanimously Endorsed.
Respectfully,
H. S. HOMAGE,
Secretary Stockton Typographical Union No. 500.
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-09-16

The above is self-exp1anatory.
The Typographical union is, as a rule, extremely conservative in
its attitude toward candidates.
When endorsement is made. it is because the sentiment of the mem
bership is pronounced and the issue quite clear.
The action of the local union in indorsng President Wilson reflects
the sentiment OF typographical unions elsewhere. 1t is especially signih-
an of the drift OF sentiment among craftsmen and of the increasing
scope Of the presidents popularity.
