Gents Wholesale
Producers Also Suggest That
Retail Price be Increased
to 10 Cents
COMMITTEE NAMED
TO SEE GOVERNOR

At a meeting Of the recently organ
lied New Castle County Milk Produc-
ers Association Saturday afternoon.
the wholesale price of milk was in
creased from to 1-2 cents a quart,
starting November 1. The association,
which has for its members most of the
producers in this section. two weeks
ago jumped the price to cents a
quart for October and this additional
increase will go into effect next month
The association also attempted to
start a movement to have retailers in

quart.
A resolution to have a committee
appointed to confer with the retailers
regarding a price of 10 cents quart,
retail, was voted down only to be sue
ceeded by another that the association
go on record as favoring 10 cent milk.
Both resolutions were lost, but there
appeared to be a strong sentiment in
favor Of having the retail price boost
ed. 1t is said to have been suggested
that an increase to cents quart
wholesale may be made later
The proposition to organize a milk
dealers bureau for the purpose of ia
cilitating the distribution of milk TO the
consumer in this city and providing for
disposal Of the surplus on making up
any shortage in supply, was also dis
cussed at some length, but no definite
action was taken by the association. 1t
is said, however, that such bureau is
a possibility.
with a view TO extending the sphere
of influence of the association. a COM
mittee was appointed of members of the
association from Middletown to arrange
for a meeting there next Friday night
when it is expected milk producers from
Middletown will organize a branch as.
ISOLATION to cooperate with the central
association here. Arthur Davis and w
J. Bryson are members of the commit
tee.
Charles p. Dickey, who presided at
the meeting, was authorized to appoint
a committee to confer with Governor
Charles r. Miller regarding the milk
situation and designated George l..
Medill, ]. A. Weldin and J. F. O'Neal.
]. B. Boyce of Bear was elected chair
man of the committee to take up the
matter of prosecuting all dealers who
sell their product by dry measure and
10 confer with the attorney-generaPs
office. A proposition to engage de-
tectives to secure evidence on this
matter was voted down. officers of
the milk dealers association of Rising
Sun and other localities were present
and discussed with association mem
! bers what should be done to improve
the milk situation.
The next meeting will be held Octo-

OUT OF POSSIBLE los

First Sergeant Frederick Manion, OF
Company f. Of the First Delaware In

MANY RAILROAD MEN
OPPOSE ADAMSON Law
lcnntlnned from Flrst Poo

Continued from First Pagel
about town, calling upon the voters
NOT 10 support Colonel Henry A. du-
pont for United States Senator at the
coming election. These 'stickers'
belch forth the remarkable statement
that he Is labor's enemy and that he
voted against the 'gold-brick' eight
hour bill. or in other words he voted
against a bill which was saturated
with the finest essence of lemon juice.
AS we all know this bill has injured
labors Just cause, and injured II only
because OF political profit, which the
Democratic party had in mind. This
bin has done nothing beneficial TO the
railroad men concerned. but Just TO ex-
tend the strike, which Is inevitable
because eight hours is what the rail-
road men want: not a selected few,
but all OF them.
III is pretty hard for rs to con
ceive why anyone interested In the
cause Of labor should vote against a
man who upheld his convictions JUST
because this man voted against Dill
hat was nothing but a 'him-ham' jim
lam don't give-a-damn' bill.
eRut we are inclined to think tha'
these 'stickers are not the work OF tn
real laboring man, but the work O
men. who in the vernacular OF polt
clans are called 'sore-heads,' or other
wise known as 'party-wreckers.' II
these few 'sore-heads' had cleansec
themselves before getting into this po
htical FIGHT, there would be no Obiec'
tions TO a third party. But they term
themselves Independent Republicans.
They are mot Republicans or else they
would be working in the interest of the
party, instead Of trying TO wreck 1t.
ut seems TO me that if We Republi-
cans stand idly by and watch man
Whose brains went fiat on him during
a family feud where dollars were con

his dirty linen, we ought to be defeated
and defeated proper.

colors and to work for Hughes, du-
Pont and the whole Republican tick
ct" Mr.. Hoffecker said.
what the chairman has said is
true" said Harry /. ellis. Il would
like to have been the nominee of the
party for clerk of the peace but Mr..
Wright was the successful candidate.
All have to say is that if his friends
will work as hard for his election as
will my friends ana myself we will
roll up the grandest majority ever
seen in this county for the whole Re
publican ticket.
John L. Wright candidate for clerk
of the peace. said the Republicans
have but one duty to perform. Get
together and vote the Republican tick
ct from top to bottom and let victory
perch on Republican banners in Del

the campaign and said The first duty
Of every Republ' can is to see that SEN
ator Henri, A. DUPONT is re elected.
Even though Hughes might be Presi-
dent the vote OF Delaware's Senator
would be needed to pass the legisla-
ton advocated by a Republican Presi-
dent
Members of the committee were
pleased to report brighter prospects
than ever in their districts. All that
is needed is to get every Republican
registered on Saturday next and to do
his full duty and vote the whole Re
