Government transports and not in cluded in the Governments export re- cord may easily bring the grand total up to 100 million dollars.
 The bulk of this large and rapidly increasing exportation of dairy pro ducts goes to the msn in the trenches. Of the 400 million pounds of condensed and evaporated milk exported in the nine months ending with March, for which detailed figures are availab1e, ITS million pounds went to Great Brit ain whence it was presumably passed to the men on the battlefield; 70 mil lion pounds direct to France; IT mil lions to Belgium; II millions to the Netherlands; 20 millions to Cuba; 10 millions to the Philippines; 10 millions to China and Japan and 10 millions to British South Africa.
 Butter and cheese exports in the hs- cal year 1918 show a marked decline when compared with f9f7. while con- denced milk on the other hand shows marked increase. The quantity of butter exported in the nine months ending with March 1918, was but F million pounds against 25 millions in the same month of 1917, and of cheese 12 million pounds against 43 millions in the same months of the preceding year. But of condensed and evapor- ated milk the quantity in the. nine months ending with March 1918 was 401 million pounds against 166 millions in the same months of 1917 and 90 millions in the corresponding months of 1916.

thods in accounting for the collection of money not their own. If the Union letter shown herewith casts no rehec-
 ton on the conductor, surely we can
 not be thus accused when we merely
 quote such good authority. As a mat
 ter of fact it is merely. a frank business
 statement of the mutually unfair work
 ing conditions that are very largely
 avoided by this newer system The
 average thoughtless person ignors
 these vexatious business conditions
 which we must continually exert our
 selves to overcome To many citizens
 the paying of a nickel fare is not
 business transaction at an No obliga-
 tion is felt. Simply hand over the
 money in any way. In the conduct of
 business over his own counter, how
 ever, this same type of person appeals
 to you to Watch the Cash Register
 and Get receipt" for your purchase,
 and would be inclined to call in the
 police should his clerk fail to use the
 cash register.
 Now this tRooke Register is not a new
 device Neither is the fare-box nor
 other types of coin operated auditing
 mechanisns now so generally used by street railways. All these were con- demned by some few thoughtiess per
 sons when they were first used. The highest state courts have upheld this particular collecting system as making
 entirely reasonable demands on both
 passenger and conductor. If the courts
 have not decided and the Garments Un- ion have agreed, surely our Company should be left to determine without
 interference whether or not we are to realize the benefits expected and de- sired. This register is accurate and fair in its financial dealings with our conductors. Years of service by other companies have demonstrated this. Our conductors have been using an ac- counting system less exacting. This has made the new method seem. a bit harsh in comparison. In Providence, R. |, and New Bedford, Mass, hun- dFeds of crowded open cars. pay-as you enter cars, interurban and all other sorts of cars have used this register exclusively for years. It would not be
 used were it unfair or inefficient It has also been used on all types of cars | in many other New England cities, such as Bangor, Lewiston, Augusta, Water vile and Roekland in Maine; used by
 the Boston and Maine Electric R. R., 1 on their street railway properties in and around Portsmouth, Concord and Manchester, Exeter and Dover, N. H. Over in New York state, Roolze Regis ters are not only used on hundreds of the Fifth Avenue Coaches and on a similar system in Chicago but also in the cities of Elmira, Plattsburgh, Wat ertown, Middletown and other cities These are some of the nearby propert-
 ies using and strongly indorsing this ] system.
 If any employe or citizen feels that he has a real grievance against our | new system we will be biased to have
 a talk with him. No citizen, however | is helping himself or his city by
 thoughtlessly falling in with program 1 Resigned to cripple us in our efforts t. continue service on the nickel fare | basis.

THE AMERICAN
 COW IN WAR TIMES
Many Million Dollars Worth of Ex-
 ports Furnished in Past Year.


 The American COW is doing her bit in the great war. She has contribut-
 ed one hundred million dollars worth
 of her products to the exports of the
 United States in the last year, near
 ly all of it going to the "boys in the trenches chiefly in the form of con-
 densed milk. A complication by The National City Bank of New York shows that the quantity of condensed milk exported in the fiscal year 1918, ending with the current month, June, will approximate 600 million pounds against 260 millions in the fiscal year 1917, 160 millions in 1916 and but S7 millions in the fiscal year 1915. The stated value of the condensed milk thus exported aggregates for the fiscal year i 1918 about 70 million dollars, and when we add the other contributions of the COW, butter and cheese, the total value which she has contributed to the ex- 1 ports including supplies sent by the | Government, will aggregate in round terms 100 million dollars against 50 millions in 1917, 25 millions in 1916, 13 millions in 1915 and less than millions in the fiscal year 1914, all of which immediately preceded the war
 Thus the American cows contribu- tions to the export trade of the United
 States have jumped from less than
 million dollars in the fiscal year 1914
 to 13 millions in 1915, 25 millions ir 1916, 50 millions in 1917 and 100 mil lions in 1918. These figures are nee
 essari1y in very round terms especial
 ly those for the fiscal year 1918 f,ol
 which the record is not yet complete
 But from the actual figures now avail
 able, covering in detail the Ii month
 ending with May, we may safely sa,
 that the total value of the dairy pro
 ducts sent out of continental Unitet ] States in the year ending with tn
 current month, June 1918, will aggre ; gate in value nearly 100 million dol , lars, of which condensed milk alon l will approximate 70 million dollars
 and of butter and cheese about mil 5 lion dollars each, while the quantitie

that Rieger enlisted in the navy two weeks ago and has been assigned to the position he held before he was ordered under arrest by the draft board. He is petty officer on board a war vessel, and it is stated he will not be called back from there for any other duty.
 When placed under arrest in this city few months ago upon the or ders of the Eleventh Division board Rieger proved he was & regularly en- listed man in the navy, but that ex- planation was not held to be valid He was sent to Camp Devens where he was disqualified because he failed to pass the required physical exam ination. He then returned to his home and was engaged in farming when again called by the Eleventh Division and placed iii class 1. It was then he decided to return to the navy and the officials of that branch of the service say he will be permitted to re- main there.

Shore Line trolley conductors are elking at using the Rooke register lr fares. and those in New London ave served notice on the company kat unless these registers are with fawn, they will not work today (Sat- Eday). The men do not cali it a r1ke; they simply refuse to use the boke register.
 Officials of the trolley company point ] the. fact that the last agreement gned with the trolleymen provided F the arbitration of differences, but he conductors are ignoring this greement. The officials say that the bgisters are to stay, but they do not hpose to employ any strikebreakers, nd if car crews do not report for duty 1s morning, those cars will remain in ke barns.
 Already on Friday night here it was ported that there were about twen-
 conductors who had quit work and 3 the Laurel Hill line some trips gre made with a motorman on each nd.
 An New London the hand registers Eve been in use for about two weeks, Ht in Norwich they were only put to use on Wednesday of this week.
 Tt is not question of extra wages
 a question of the hours of labor, |" Eid the spokesman for the conduc- Es in New London on Friday. is a question of working under Unsatisfactory conditions. The hand gister method of collecting fares is bt satisfactory to the patrons of the rect railway, and it is impossible for le conductor to collect fares by this ethod and give attention to the vari- ls stops on the line. Making change
 another cause of delay. After hand B back the change, the passenger mst, according to the rules of the mpany, insert the nickel in the slot ] the hand register, and many of the lssengers object tc this. This leads ! argument, and, in some cases, the lssenger absolutely refuses to pay his her fare in that manner.
 .''In collecting fare with the hand gister the conductor is not in posi- bn to note the stops along the line hd when the car goes by the stop Iked and desired by a passenger an tgument is on schedule right away. Aside from the trouble in collect lg the fare and the arguments with le passengers" said the conductor ;okesman, i've object to the hand sgisters because the rule virtually hm4s us as thieves. Ever since the and registers have been installed me of the passengers have called 1ention to the lack of confidence on te part of the street railway officials
 their employees. We do not ike that hrt. We will not stand it and if the Ind registers are not called in we Ell not report for work Saturday and Ill seek other and more congenial hployment"

1918 was produced chiefly in the stretch of country fronting upon the Great Lakes; New York, Northern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. The largest part was from the dairy farms and condensed milk factories in New York, next in importance from those Of Wis : consin, but in lesser quantities from the other states above named, while considerable quantities have also been Coast
