attacks held the occupied ground
which was strewn with enemy corpses.

No doubt whatever was expressed
here that the bolsheviki would carry

Germans would accept Such a move,
however, was not regarded as likely

Statement of Brotherhoods.
The statement OF the brotherhoods,
signed by the four chairmen,
Messrs. Stone, Lee, Carter and Gar

THE men who comprise the railway
brotherhoods are thorough Americans,
therefore they believe in American
standards Of living and in consequence
of this realize that standards of pay
that were established in 1912 and 1913
are inadequate to meet present day
prices for commodities and for that
reason are demanding an increase in
present rates that will meet half at
least of the increase In cost of those
things which they are compelled to
purchase.
They want to cooperate in every
way possible i'm successful prosecution
of the war and thess fully realize that
the most serious thing that could
occur during the conduct of the war
would be any interruption of railway
transportation and they in common
with the great body of the people are
determined to do everything within
the bounds of reason to avoid such in.
terruption.
Being fully conversant with their
attitude and desire in this matter, we
arc In posit' give the assurance
that If situation should arise which
threatens interruption of transporta.

more than willing to discuss and con.
slider any solution of the difficulty

spirit OF patriotic cooperation, and
would undoubtedly cooperate with

as patriotic, conclusion"

Higher Price for Milk
Hope to Increase Dairying

During the months of August and
September farmers will get an increase
OF practically cent per quart for milk
over the prices announced for those
months at the spring price making
time.
This will mean from 5 , to cents
for milk at the country stations de.
pending on distance to market. Con-
sumers in the large cities are paying
from L to Il cents per quart.
The increased price to the farmers
will be largely absorbed by the add.
tional price of grain which has risen
rapidly within the past few weeks.
Some relief from continually rising
grain and labor costs will have to be
found, according to Secretary Pattee of
the New England Milk Producers
Association.
"Dairying," said Mr.. Pattee in an
nouncing the increased price to farm
ers for August and September milk,
"has been a declining industry in New
England for some time. Our associa-
ton tackled the job of improving con-
ditions through increased farm price
and the introduction of economies in
marketing methods. Every advance
we have made has been practically alb
sorbed by the feed and labor costs. The
fact that prices have risen has encour-
aged farmers to keep their cows. But
with costs soaring and good prices for
beef it will be hard to keep cows on
the farms this winter and sell milk at
anything like the old prices. The pub
lie when it pays an increased price for
milk is simply buying grain and labor
for the farmer and the milk dealer at
higher price"
The summer decrease in milk supply
has set in and some of the southern
New England cities are beginning to
feel the shortage Whether it becomes
acute depends largely on the costs OF
production which by rising rapidly as
| Is now indicated may drive thousands
OF cows from the farms and result In
serious situation later.
