MILK HEARING
GIVES FIGURES

BOSTON. Feb. o0.-The milk business
in New England will yield the Boston
& Maine Railroad an added revenue OF
s147.4s5 annually if the present in
crease in carrying rates, which the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
now investigating. is allowed to go
into effect, according to statement
presented by counsel for the road at
Saturdays hearing.
Practically all of this additional rev.
enue would be collected from this
state and more than half Of it from
milk shipped to this city, the state
ment indicated.
In making these estimates, Charlie
s. Pierce, counsel for the Boston &
Maine road, stated that at present 101,-
54e,621 quarts Of milk We're coming to
Boston annually over that road. This
was said to be approximately so per
cent. Of the total milk supply Of the
city. The road also carries annually
s., 49,, s43 quarts for other cities of
Massachusetts and to other points in
New England 6,S43,52S quarts.
L. E. McIntire. dairyman from
Waterford, Maine, who was examined
as to the cost Of producing milk on his
farm, said that the average cast of
feeding one COW a year increased from
s57 80 in 1907 to sS7.6S in 1918, and that
it dropped in 1914 to $71.S3 Despite the
added cost since 1907 he said that he
was producing milk cheaper today be-
cause Of improved methods. Were it
not for the revenue derived from by
products Of his dairy, McIntire said he
would be urable to continue his BUSH
ness. He added that cows were de.
creasing throughout Maine, but owing
to improved methods the farmers were
unable to make profit on lesser nur--
Der Of animals than previously.

GLAD TO HAVE THE
BOYS IN H 0 M E S,
SAY HOSTESSES

At this point the committee appoint
ed to select the college
At the close of Dr. Phelps address
and just before the final prayer Mr..
Head arose and reminded the boys that
in order not to inconvenience their host
esses they should return Immediately
to their temporary homes at the close
of the evenings meeting. He said that
one or two boys had been thoughtless
enough, the preceding evening, to put
their ftostesses to some trouble by re
manning out late. In sharp contrast
to this comes the many reports from
the entertainers, as to the pleasure de-
rived from having the boys in theI
homes. One hostess while in CONVEX
sation Saturday evening with the Jour-
nal reporter was telling how much she
and her husband enjoyed having the
bows with them. And they make them
selves useful, too" she said AS her
part Of the work in the banquet clear
ing up the dishes borrowed from the
Universalist church kitchen were to he
washed at her house The dishes were
piled up in wild confusion in the SINK
and on the shelves and all about the
kitchen in the narator's home. The
boys. at their own suggestion, wiped
all the dishes. while the host washed
them. That's the kind Of boys to
have" the hostess told the reporter.
And then from various Fairfield and
Benton homes where the boys have
been entertained comes the reports, IT'S
no trouble to have them with US. They
are so quiet and so little trouble" and
other passages of like praise. Surely.
these testimonials ought to be for
warded to prospective hosts as a way
of aiding other entertaining commit
tees. 1t should not be forgotten in
mentioning hospitality of the Fairfield
people that the Benton residents took
their, share There were large num-
Der of the Conference boys entertained
in the homes of these ever cordial
folks. And the Benton entertainers
should receive their share in credit in
the success of that important part Of
the whole local work.

were depicted with wonderful art

COMMISSIONERS
FAIL TO A G R EE
AS TO LOG B00MS
Commission Recommends Build
ing of Reservoirs for Storage
at Head of St. John River

Bangor, Me. Feb 20-The report of
the international commission pertain
ing TO the conditions and uses Of the
St. John river by citizens of Canada
and the United States and the feast
bility of creating storage reservoirs
upon the river and its tributaries to
facilitate the driving Of logs, which
was signed at Fredericton, ~ B., on
Thursday and later forwarded to Of
tawa and Washington, was given out
for publication Saturday
The st. John river, according to the
report is 456 miles long, with q drain
age area of $4,000 square miles, In
1912, when the treaty governing the
boundary between Maine and Canada
was signed, the St. John river territory
was practically virgin forest. This
treaty, known as the Webster Ash
burton treaty, made the southwest
branch Of the St. Francis river and the
ST. John river the boundary between
the two countries.
Up to the time of the building of
railways, the st. John river was the
only outlet to the markets Of the world
for that section, through its mouth, the
port of st. John. Since 1912. great
changes have taken place. The river
has been PARALLEL by several railroads
running from Boundary lake to st,
John and II bridges have been built
across it. The lumber industry has
grown by leaps and strides and log
driving conditions have improved but
little. according to the commissioners.
The st. john Lumber Co., organized
under the laws Of Maine and acting
under permit of the Maine Legislature.
built, between Van Buren, and St.
Anne. piers, booms and sorting works
and still maintains them.
The commissioners in behalf If
Canada assert that such legislation
was contrary to law and that the
piers, booms and sorting gaps are an
obstruction to navigation and in vio-
lation Of the treaty. The American
commissioners take an opposite view.
Mariner G. Teed, X. c.. and John
keeffe of st. John, the Canadian COM
missioners. and 2. G. keegan Of Van
Buren,, Me-, maintain that the diver
sion Of the Chamberlain lake waters.
naturally tributary to the ST. John
river by means of Telos canal and
Chamberlain dam, is an interference
of the existing treaties. and that the
action Of the Maine Legislature in au-
thorizing such diversion is an inter-
ference with national rights. John B.
Madigan of Houlton. Me-, the other
American member. disagrees with the
others on this point.
The commission recommends that
certain dams be built at the outlet of
several lakes at the head Of water of
ST. John river and it's tributaries to
create storage reservoirs: that certain
channel improvements in the river be
made for driving purposes and that
legislation be enacted and enforced in
both countries to prohibit the contin-
uance Of the mill waste nuisance.

BRASS STRIKERS
HOLD VARIOUS
CONFERENCES
No Definite Results Came from
Meetings-P olice Maintain
Close Vigilence - Rumor of
Arms Shipped to Strikers

Ansonia, Conn, Feb. 20.-Various
of the American Brass Co. were held
here today. but no definite results
looking toward settlement were at
tanned. The Italian laborers who are
said to have deserted the main body of
strikers, did not meet as arranged.
The strikers committee, composed OF
delegates from 10 nationalities and
headed by Joseph NJ. Grohol, had Sc
cret meetings. No news was obtain
able.
The general committee intends to
picket the mill property early tOmor-
row morning to prevent any Of the
strikers from returning to work The
city authorities advised the company
not to resume operations.
While the situation was outwardly
quiet today, the police did not relax
their vigilance and tonight 100 special
officers patroIled the mill property. A
report gained credence during the day
that two cases of small arms had been
secretly shipped here to the strikers.
The chief Of police denied knowledge
of the rumor, but other officials ad-
mitted that an investigation was be-
ing made. While Ghohol continues to
be the chief figure among the strikers,
it is reported that his influence over
the men is waning. The police are con :
fident that there will he no disorder
so long as he remains in charge, but
grave fears are expressed for the safe
ty of property should the $500 men get
beyond his control. Tonight Grohol
warned the strikers not to congregate
in bodies on the streets.
