Gotham, Shy on Milk,
Tries to Make Peace

New York. Jan. with New York
on short milk rations. steps were
taken today to try and bring about
an agreement between the Dairynen' 5
League and the distributors of this
and nearby cities.
1t was reported that if no agree
ment is reached the dairymen will cut
off even the small quantities of milk
still coming into New York. This sup
ply is at present so small that only
families with small children are
served. and they get much less than
they need.
The dispute is over the price the dis
tributers will pay producers.

WINTER DRIVES
MANY TO SOUTH
Golf Bag-laden Travellers
Throng Union Station
on Way to Florida.

Winter vacation holidays were In
the air at Union Station last night.
Many in the throng who pushed
their way through the central walt
ing room there were Southbound.
They clustered around the informa'
ton desk and asked about lower
berths and when will we reach Mi
ami. sir?"
With complacent self-content they
rolled fur collars a little higher as
the cold bursts of wind swept through
the corridors Of the station.
They were not thinking of the ther~
mometer that was registering 23 de-
grees above and creeping downward
Instead they were vizualizing the or
ange groves lying languidly in the
warmth of the Florida sun. Ano
they didn't mind that stay-at-home
Washingtonians know of their de-
parture to warmer places.
Going to "Paradise.,
We're going to be gone three
months" confided one feminine trav-
eler. who was holiday-bound with her
three small children, as happy as II
she were going to Paradise.
A few of the good old sights OF
"'fore the war" of men carrying golf
bags and a valet carrying a bag oil
lemons in one hand and a box oi
crackers in the other in search of
misplaced boss" amused the oflce'
tired commuters, who were patiently
waiting for trains bounds for nearby
suburban homes last night.
That these Southern travellers were
on friendly terms with the weather
man is proved by the reports issued
last night While snow or rain is not
anticipated. it is believed that ''23 de-
grees and under is to be the tempera-
ture for today and tomorrow. Winds
off the Atlantic Coast are also ex'
Dcctcd today.

the Secretary of the Treasury. Sec
retary of War and Secretary of In

which is now paid for rental OF
buildings constructed with private
capital. would within \ few years
pay for a unified system of govern

Thirteen Die of Flu
In Twenty-four Hours

Thirteen deaths from influenza
and 139 new cases were reported
yesterday to the District health Of
flee as compared with thirteen
deaths and $50 new cases the previ-
Gus day. The number of new cases

Four deaths from pneumonia were

Within the past week there has been
considerable falling off in the num-
Der of new influenza cases reported.
and for this reason a decrease in
the mortality rate is expected with
a few weeks, should the number OF
new cases continue TO decline.

awaiting a settlement of the dispute
and that governmental action may be
looked for in at most forty-eight
hours.
Government officials denied last
night that Naval Reserve units were
being employed or were about to be
used in manning ships in New York.
The governments action is based
upon its determination that under no
circumstances will inward bound ships
laden with wounded or returning SOL
diers be permitted to be delayed in
New York harbor. and that outward
bound freights for the soldiers abroad
shall also move on schedule.
Have Full Powers.
The conferees hold to the resolution
that they are vested with full power
to take any action which will aid in
the successful prosecution of a war
which has not ended. In cases of
this nature in the past year the gov
ernment has made an appeal to the
patriotism of the men in dispute.
Failure of the appeal will at once
bring drastic action by Federal
agents.
The statement issued by Regional
Director A. H. Smith in New York
was considered here as indicating
that the employers are preparing to
meet the claims of the men, and that
Mr.. Smith is aiding in bringing about
a settlement. 1t was stated in some

from New York showed clearly that
the boat owners will agree to arbi-
