 Some of these nerl-American cit izens like you and L-7had been so utterly enserfed that they dared not even consider joining with the others in a Justified revolt. They were afraid. to say or do a thing, to lift a voice or a finger in their own defence They had been changed from men to paci- fists, from independent farmers to mere puppy dogs who didn't even hark if their masters said, Hush, Towser.''
 But the great majority of Chicago milk producers were at last aroused and they stuck together. That last Is the notable thing to observe They not only got mad. but they stayed mad long enough to carry the others trenches. They not only got togetfl- er,'' but they stuck together" which is something the farmers critics have long said farmers would never, new CT do
 They didn't ask much-just enough advance to enable them to pay ex- penses and stop the freShet of bank ruptcy auctions which was sweeping over the dairying districts. Their whilom over-lords came back at them with smashing teeth and swing ing slave-whips. They tried bluffing and bulldozing and bribery: they hir- ed lawyers and got ouEr iniunctions: they fought yiciously and concerted- ly and without regard to moral prin- ciples or human rights

In stead of attempting by a campaign of education to- increase the use of i milk, thereby enlarging their sbusi- ness and enabling them to do 1t al lover rates they have spent their whole thought solely on schemes to beat the producers and rob the con sumers.
 The dairyren Fave also found that all ..he millz-ha ndlers Of big Chicago have invested but $25.o00, GOO in their pla--i md employ but 1000 men while the milk producers have about 1 s950-ee0.0o9 invested in their farms their herds. their buildings and other plant. and regularly employ almost 40-fh0 men to make the milk and feed
 Simply because the grangers o1 the smaller capital have been closely spizeds have they been able to bull " the unorganized owners of the larger capital.
 Now that the latter have found tha; that they can organize and can stick ] together, they are seriously aslxins whether the tail shall continue tc weg the dog, or vice versa
 Naturally. they are turning their ] minds to the idea of cooperation l Which is right where the final test ol 4ieir common sense is going to de velope.
