Hylan Appeals to
Wilson i'm Protest
Against Milk Price
Mayor Also Asks Hoover
for Authority to Settle
Question Here

Mayor Uylan declared yesterday he
had taken the question Of the increased
cost Of milk direct to President Wilson.
This announcement was contained in a
letter he wrote to Herbert Hoover,
United States Food administrators
The Mayors letter follows:
"Since the receipt of your last lettes
of November S, we again find that you
have allowed an additional charge OF
one cent per quart for milk, which
makes an increase of two cents per
quart in the last two weeks, making
milk liz this city l9 cents per quart.
Gin your letter you place the blame
on the dalryrlen when the question ia
principally with the distributor. | am
informed on good authority that loose
milk can be distributed protitably at
three cents per quart and bottled milk
at five cents per quart over and above
the price the dairymen demand for the
milk.
"You have allowed The distributor to
charge 19 cents per quart for bottled
milk, which is over nine cents per
quart more than the price paid to the
dairymen.
"You suggest in your letter that it
might be we'll Tor the municipal au-
thorities. dairymen and producers in
terests who supply New York to agree
upon some method or tribunal by which
these problems could be settled with
out interference by the Federal govern
ment.
"If you will designate me as your
representative in this city to determine
whether an excessive price is being
charged by the distributors, AS we'll as
by the dairymen or producers. | shall
be very glad to undertake the task
and report to you my findings. There
Is no question quite so vital TO the
people Of New York as the question
of milk and coal.

portance that I have called it to the
attention of the President"
Arthur Williams, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, on his return from Wash
ington, said the Food Administration
had investigated the milk market and
was satisfied there is 10 profteering.
He said the distributors. even with the
new prices, would subject themselves

seen to begin on Christmas Day On
December %, by expiration of con
tract. William Randolph Hearst and the
Pathe News Weekly will cease TO be
partners, and the next day tho fight
will start.
Hearst has strengthened his position
by buying animated news weeklies ex-
cept the Pathe News, which he could
not buy. Hearst has bought outright
the Animated Weekly, Current Events
and Screen Telegram. The Hearst plan
IS said TO be TO scrap these three
movie weeklies and to issue one under
the title of Hearst International News.
Officials Of the Pathe Exchange, Inc,
have spent no large amount OF money
TO strengthen their position in entici-

Pathe people are counting on patriot
