MILK STRIKE SETTLED
DaIrymen Gather to Learn Details of
 Final Settle ment.

Final Settlement.
 Odd Fellows hall was filled Saturday night with dairymen from all over this section eager to hear about the final settlement of the strike that has been on for the past two weeks.
 Persistent rumors of a settlement followed by a denial, had been rife since Thursday. To settle the matter, the Executive Committee had sent out bulletins all over the districts denouc. ing the action of President Brill, of the League, declaring:
 Beware of advices of such an agree ment. We fear treachery. President Brill has not been working with the rest of the Executive Committee, and MT. Dillon, and has prolonged the settlement of the milk fight. The Board of Directors has delegated to the Execu. tive Committee full power to release milk. Now is the time to show your spirit. Stick! Back up the Executive Committees at every step''.
 Several of those present had attended the meeting in Millerton Friday night where the action of President Brill was roundly denounced. MT. Dubois came out from Poughkeepsie to present the presidents side and was introduced after Frank Sherman, one of the Execu. tive committee, had spoken. He was listened to without interruption till he asked for any questions. At this point a visitor from Orange county got up and told MT. Dubois that a certain statement he had made during his re. marks was lie. This challenge brought forth burst of applause. Mir. Sherman also challenged the truth of other state ments of Dubois. MT. Dubois retired to the rear of the room and there was an angry buzz in his immediate vicinity for some minutes. He was simulta- neously invited to leave unless he wanted help and to remain and hear the perfidy of the president exposed. He stayed few minutes and then departed. In his address he assumed full respon- sibility for any mistake Mir. Brill had made, stating that he had advised the action but the members were inclined to visit the consequences of MT. Brill's actions on his own head and said so.
