TACKLE VIOLATIONS

Now York, Aug. 28,-"I am con- Vinced that if there is price-fixing of milk 1t hinges around the Conference Committee of the New York MIX Conference Board.

 This statement was made by District Attorney Swann, He is presenting to the Grand Jury evidence gathered fin the four months inquiry into the ris- %ing prices of milk conducted by As sistant District Attorney Dooling. !. The first witness before the CIrand Jury yesterday was c, A. Weiant. for ne mer President of the New York MlIk Board and President of D Borden's Farm Products Company.

Austin of Nestle's Food Company.
 Mir. Swann thinks ho will call, if necessary, every member of the MIX Conference Board. The Board con- sists of more than one hundred mem bers. comprising distributors in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Asked how he expected to get the evidence of distributors from other re,tates, Mr. Swann said:
 IT HAu that will be necessary to get hthem will be to certify the evidence eve have taken to the Federal au- tthorities, as the distributing industry in this city has assumed Interstate proportions
 Asked if that meant that he hoped prosecution would follow under In ter-State Commerce provisions, Mir. Swann said:
 That possibly is one of the laws which has been violated by the MIX
 Trust We shall tackle them rom every possible angle and if the evil
 dence shows that they are conspired
 to control prices and output prescott tions will also probably result under

Defenders Morale

a rousing welcome will be given the
3S2d Infantry, now in Genoa awaiting
transportation, if the plans Of the Sons
of Italy, now crystalizing, are carried
through. The reception will begin at
Quarantine and extend wherever a
branch of the organization is found,
as testimonial of the gratitude Of all
Italians for the part played by Ameri-
can doughboys on the Italian front.
Thousands of letters have been re-
ceived here by Americans of Italian
birth, bespeaking an enthusiastic well
come for the men who Saved Italy
and the world" AS a mark of re-
spect and appreciation the Sons Of
Italy have asked the privilege of greet
ing the returned heroes.
More than twenty nationaltics
other than Italian have been invited
to take part and more than 200 So
cieties and organizations will be rep
resented. The troops will pass under
a canopy of banners and through a
lane of flags.
According to Stefano Miele, presi-
dent Oh Cne sons or Italy, commit
tee of welcome will proceed down tho

occasion to meet the ship carrying
the 332d and convoy her to the dock.
On this committee will be delegates
from the 800 local lodges of the Sons
of Italy, which has 1000 lodges
throughout the country.
1t is planned to have the men of
the 332d march through an avenue of
banners to some central point, prob
ably Madison Square. where a mass
meeting will be held, at which a prom
inent American and an Italian will
speak.
Among the organizations that will
take part in celebrating the return of
the 332d Infantry will be the Italian
Chamber of Commerce, the Society of
Italia Redenta and the Italian -Ameri-
can Society, Of which Charles e.

Marriage Clerk Expects
Rush After 9th Parade

A rush Of business at the marriage
license bureau is expected to follow
the parade of the 9th Division
Preparations already are being made
by Chief Clerk Scully and his men. who
learned their lesson in preparedness
the day after the parade of Colonel
Hayward's colored troops. On that day
their office was a mecca for dozens of
dusky brides and braves in khaki, and
the marriage license machine broke all
its former speed records.
Until the men of the 27th Division
are actually mustered out of service
few of them will apply for marriage
licenses, it was said by Chief Scully
yesterday.
A honeymoon of twenty-four hours.
he thought, would have few charms for
a soldier, who had waited many months
to be married, and would postpone the
ceremony another week or two for the
sake of nice, leisurely honeymoon.

Plan Is Launched
For Parade Of
The 77th Division

A movement to honor the 77th Divi-
sion-the New York draft contingent
with parade through the city and a
demonstration equal to that planned
for the 9th has been started here. DR..
William T. Manning, of Trinity, chair
man of the Home Association, of the
77th Division, made the announcement
yesterday.
DR.. Manning declared that the asso-
citation, which has Offices at 280 Madi-
son Avenue, had been flooded with re-
quests from the friends and relatives
of drafted men that steps be taken to
properly welcome home the troops
trained at Upton.
at is our desire and determination
that the men Of the 77th Division shall
be accorded every possible honor" said
DR.. Manning. eve will not rest until
we have made the authorities at Wash
ington feel that it is the only right
thing to do.
Certainly, New York is as anxious
to see the 77th Division as the 9th.
1t is right to honor the latter contin-
gent in the best possible manner, and
am heartily in it's favor. But the
9th has men from other parts of the
state, and from other states, while the
77th is of New York City men only
and represents more closely the people
of the city.
"All of the 77ths officers who have
come home, all the men and all their
families, are most earnestly desirous
that there should he a parade OF the
division as unit. They do not want
parts of the contingent to march
they want TO see all of their heroic
sons at the same time.
"Why shouldn't the city arrange and
finance this plan, just as it is doing
for the .7tn? Certainly popular senti-
ment of the great masses of the people
Of the city is back of the project"
number Of prominent New Workers
are backing the 77th parade plans. DR..
Manning stated. He said that Major
Spencer S. Weaver, who returned home
in advance of the division, is men,
Der of the executive committee Of the
association, and has been working tire
lessly to make the parade reality.
| Mrs. Robert Bacon Is vice chairman
Of the association. Other members Of

stantly killed Color Sergeant William
Sheehan. Curtain, who bore the dis
toric banner to-day, succeeded Sheehan.
The stage setting for General Perish
iing's review of the Rainbow, which cx-
poets to start homeward the first week
in April, was magnificent. Thousands
of men were massed by regiments and
occupied great field which sloped
gently toward the Rhine, the opposite
shore of which bore terraces of vine
yards upon a mountainside.
Germans Watch Review
Despite the fact that no German ci-
villains were allowed upon the review
field, tiny figures of hundreds of them
could be observed silhouetted against
the skyline Of the towering hills.
After the divisional review General
Pershing pinned Congressional Medal
OF Honor upon the breast of Corporal
Sidney Manning, of Brewton, Ala, who
stood beside Brigader General Doug
las Macarthur, who received Distin-
guished Service Medal Manning was
wounded eight times at Chateau Thierrv
while rallying the ranks of his deci-
mated company to take and hold an i'm
portant position.
His lip quivered when the commander
in chief grasped his hand and congrat-
ulated him in the name of the American
people on having won the highest
token of appreciation of gallantry, and
he could hardly contain himself when
General Dickman, the commander of
the Sd Army; General Nolan, chief in
telligence officer; General Flagler
commanding the Rainbow Division, and
General Macarthur, his brigade COM
mander, shook hands and offered their
ngratulations.
Later he told me that his ancestors
had won honors under the Stars and
Bars of the Southern Confederacy, and
how proud he was to be in division
which more than any other represented
the whole country in the greatest war
in history.
Four regimental bands participated in
the review, playing in turn for almost
three hours. When the ceremony of
decoration had been concluded the reg
iments of the division. with colors f1ut-
tering, marched past the commander in
chief for the last time, every man cog
infant that in a few days he will be
leaving Europe headed for the United
States Of America.
