York's daily milk supply of 2,25O,OOO
quarts in to town.

A general railway strike will throw
more than half a million Chicago
people out of work, a conservative
estimate.
In addition to 100000 Chicago
railway workers who. would walk out
if a strike is ordered, a half million
other workers would be at once di-
rectly affected. If the strike contin-
ued, mills and factories would soon
have to shut down for lack of ma
terial.
With a general railroad strike
called, Chicago would face a prob
lem in getting food, fuel and ice. If
the passenger and express train serv-
ice do not become involved, and it
seems they will not, express ship
ments can afford some relief, but not
sufficient to- provide food for any
great length of time. .-
A comparatively large stock of live
cattle and butehered meat is always
here, because of the stock yards, and
unless the seamen strike, ice, late
fruits and vegetables can be shipped
in by boat from Western Michigan.

THE TOURIST TRAFFIC

1t is time to begin to think about
the visit of the summer resident and
tourist Vermont, considering its at
fractions, is not getting its proper
tional share of business in this direc-
ton as compared to Maine and New
Hampshire There are two phases of
the summer recreation business-the
person who simply comes to the state
for brief vacation and the one who
invests in property for a summer
home, on which he will pay taxes, and
to which his family will come for a
period of two to six months. 1t is
rather surprising to know that six
years ago Maine property used solely
for recreation urposes-summer cot
tages, hotels, clubhouses and camps
paid taxes on a total valuation Of
$60,0O0,O00. Of course the amount
has greatly increased since then, but
later figures are not available. The
average income in Maine from sum-
mer residents and tourists is fully
$25, 100000. This great sum is
brought into the state and spent free
ly, in many instances lavishly, in order
that the spenders may be well housed
and well fed and entertained
