There will be no strike of milk wagon
drivers, according to Max ]. Scharf,
secretary-treasurer of local 5S4. Inter-
national Brotherhood OF Transfers. He
asserted yesterday that such rurnors
were false, that It was n foregone con-
cIusion the new scale Of time and wages
proposed by the union to the New
York City Milk Conference Board to be-
come effective November 1, when the
present contract will expire, would be
amioably adjusted by conference.
Judging by tho experience of the last
two years In dealing with the Milk Con-
ference Board. which represents all OF
the milk companies In New York city.
we do not believe there will be any ne
cessity for a strike in the next ten
years." he said.
The possibility thatsth rank and file
of the union might kick over the traces
and strike in sympathy with the ex-
pressnen or for other reasons was dis
credited by Mr.. Scharf. He said
Members of the organization are in
perfect accord with the officials as to
living up to their contract. which does
not expire until October 81"
Conferences between the union and
the board over the new scale. which was

FALLING BIRTH RATE
ALARMS HAGGARD
Urges Drastic La.Ds to Pre-
serUe Western Nations.

LONDON, Oct. 1s.--Sir Henry Rider
Haggard, giving evidence before the Ma
tional Birthrate. Commission. dwelt on
the dangers of artifcially keeping down
births, which is now widespread in every
western nation, he said. except, perhaps.
Russia and Germany.
He was of the opinion that unless a
startling change occurred the western
races within the next two centuries
would be submerged beneath a great new
influx from the teeming myriads of the
East.
Sir Henry doubted the effectiveness OF
appealing to the conscience OF the en-
pire TO stop this race suicide. but
thought that the State might stamp out
diseases which were seriously affecting
the race. and also substitute motherhood.
And as a last desperate resort the
State, he urged. could directly or indi-
rectly bring up all children. even hold
ing out kind hand to those not borr
in Wedlock.
