New York, Oct. 6.--The milk war
was carried today to the point of

city.
With a steadily dwindling supply,
giving every indication that the farm

tributors stubborniy adhered to their
refusal TO brush aside the one OBJ.

This hinges upon the question
whether the companies. having grant.

the dairymen's league, shall follow
their custom Of years and sign six
months contracts with the producers.
After the directors Of the Borden
Company. keystone OF the so-called

They offered advantageous contracts
to the small dealers and guaranteed
them direct and unlimited deliveries

The milk shortage was 90 serious
today that 1t aroused approximations
of the health officials and city Of

seemed far worse than yesterday.
