LUNCHROoM MILK PRICES.

You are exactly right Ia regards
to prOfteering. But will state that
before the &c raise went into effect
that there is a dairy lunch room on
7th st. N. w., that was charging Zoe
per glass for milk before the Ae
raise, and are still charging it, and
I understand they have their own
dairy farm and raise their own
milk 50 get all the profit. No
middleman has q chance with them.
They are talking about putting
them in Jail for prohteering, but
mat does not mean anything. Why
don't they do it. Also another
help yourself place on 9th st. is
charging 15c for oatmeal. Now.
that was formerly 1Oc, sc more for
the same quantity Of milk with
oatmeal. Some highWayman, be-
leve me. They are really worse
than the hOld-up men.

OHIO CONTRACTING co.
SUED FOR LABOR

The Ohio Contracting Co., which
has the contract for improving the
Barberton- Greenwich road in West
field township and the Wooster -Elyria
road in Litchfield township, was sued
in common pleas court on last Friday
by II. O. Putnam, of Barberton, who
had received the sublet contract for
number Of bridges and who wanted
10 make sure that he would receive
his wages for work done.
Putnam had entered into verbal
agreement with. The Ohio Co. to build
all the bridges on the roads being i'm
proved by the latter concern for a
stated amount. According to law a
company must file affidavits with the
county auditor stating that all labor
and material bills have been paid on
road or bridge before they can re-
ceive any county money in payment
for same.
The Ohio Contracting Co., filed
such an affidavit last week it is al
legged, and had bill for about $500
approved by the county commissioners
and which was to have been paid on
Saturday. The affidavit was filed by
N. Seigel, president of the company.
Putnam, upon learning that the
company was about to draw money
on work for which he had not been
paid, entered suit and asked a tenn
porary injunction enjoining the audi
tor from making tn $500 payment to
the Ohio Co. Putnam claimed there
was duo him something like $4,000
and the Injunction was granted.
On Monday Of this week represen-
tatives of the company met Putnam's
attorneys and the matter was settled
out of court, the latter accepting
something like $1400 as payment in
full.
1t has become common practice
for contracting firms to file affida-
Wits claiming to have paid all their
bills, receive the county payment for
the work and then beat the labor or
material men out of their share by
becoming insolvent. About a year
ago Lodi firm was trimmed to the
extent of about $4,000 by this meth
cd.
