U. S. MIDDLEMEN E E
They Get o. Cents Of Consumera'
Dollar, Only 90 Cents Abroad.

Commissioner John J. Dillon, head OF
the State Department Of Foods and Mar
kets. told the wicks committee at its
session yesterday that 60 cents
out Of every dollar paid by the

while abroad the middleman Is content to
take only 20 cents out Of a dollar.
He talked about eggs. milk, hay and
apples. and said there In no good market
for New York State apples In this city
because apple spectators advance money
to Western apple growers to send theft
products to this market. New York State
apples took first prize at the Panama
Pacific Exposition. too.
Mr.. Dillon believed the state should
instruct its farmers as to the best way
to get their products on the market. He
insisted that when there IL "A surplus OF
! products here. the price to the farmer is
low He said II was a crying sin" that
the price seldom gets lower to the con-
sumner.
mot only is there no attempt to in
| crease the consumption" he added. but
there is "A deliberate attempt made mo- to
do It,"
The Commissioned charged that the
system of food distribution in this city
is all wrong. and hat An honest mar
must conform to the rules or go out OF
business.
THE trouble he said. lis that ths
food dealers make as little return as they
can to the producer or charge the con

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - Decline OF

the effect Of this condition on the devel-

OF the Newlands commission to-day.
Members Of the commission apparently

Mr.. Thorn said he thought Govern

under private ownership were provided.
He pointed out that under Government
ownership State control of rates would
necessarily cease altogether. while under
the proposals for an amendment OF ex-
listing laws and conditions partial State
control would be maintained.
Mr.. Sims supplemented this discussion
OF Government ownership by expressing
