Three Months Following January
1, 1917.

New York, Oct. 6..Representatives
of milk distributing companies handl-
ing virtually the entire supply OF the
city except that dispensed by the Bor-
den, Sheffield Farms and Mutual-Mc-
Dermott companies, agreed at CON
ference late to night to meet the de-
mands of the Dairymen's league for
an increased price and six months
contracts under certain conditions.
President Brill of the Dairymen's
league favored the committee prop
osition, it was stated, but before any
contracts were signed insisted on a
conference with John j. Dillon, state
commissioner of foods and markets,
and with members of the executive
committee of the league. The con
ferees were in session late tonight.
The proposed agreement would be
predicated on the stipulation that the
price be paid without question for Oc-
tober, November and December, but
that for January, February and
March the surplus milk they must
take from the farmers be paid for on
the basis of cheese and butter prices,
or as much as they can get for it af-
ter turning it into butter and cheese.
1t was explained that the dealers, in
making contracts with farmers,
agreed to take all the milk produced
and felt the producers should share
their loss on the part that could not
be sold.

IT would be black crime to let our

and horrible trenches to something
little better than a pig-stay' He had
told a deputation representing the
Housing and Town planning Congress
some time ago that the 10000, 900
pounds asked for BY them should not
represent even an index of what might
be required He emphasized that If
the government came TO the aid of the
local authorities in the matter, it must
be on liberal lines fle also said it was
vital to the future of the race that
there should be provision for as many

TO keep the land occupied
The move is one of many indicating
that in the estimation or the govern
ment, nothing is to be too good for

their return. It is a harbinger Of the
social revolution that has been so fire
quently predicted and which affects
