Charge of l6 Cents to Re-
tailers, Equal to That
Paid by Consumers, Is
Declared Unjustifiable
Copeland to Investigate
Dealers Agree to Pass Re-
duction Along to Public
if They Can Obtain 1t

Retail grocers, aided by Dr. Royal S.
Copeland, Health Commissioner, are
launching a campaign to sell bottled
milk to the public at two cents below
the price asked by the distributors, it
was learned yesterday.
1eter H. Amor, president of the New
York Retail Grocers' Association and
a member Of the fair price committee
appointed by Arthur Williams, declared
last night grocers OF the city are pre-
pared to protest against being charged
16 cents a quart for grade B milk by
the distributors. This is the same
price asked of consumers.
Lotion Horton, president of the
She field Farms Company, testified be-
fore the Fair Price Milk Committee that
it cost three cents to distribute a
quart Of milk" Mr.. Amor said. eff
this is true the distributors have no
moral right to make US pay the full
price.
Cost Of Service Questioned
eve pay for our milk on the day Of
delivery. The consumer pays weekly
or monthly. There is no hosting up
dumbwaiters or other labor in deliver
ing our milk. The milk men merely
places the cases OH the floor Of the
store and we pay him. We honestly
believe that this service only costs the
distributors a cent or less.
Mr.. Anor said retailers add one
cent to the price charged by the dis
tibuters and their bottled milk bust
ness is limited to "emergency cases"
'lf we could obtain the milk at thir-
teen cents quart" he continued, "the
retail grocers would feel it their pa
triotic duty to add only one cent to
the price. making a cost of fourteen
cents, compared with the sixteen cents
demanded by the distributors. The
only reason we are charged as much
as the consumers is because firms like
Sheffield Farms and others conduct re-
Farms stores sell grade B milk at l6
cents quart, one cent below our price
thus eliminating us as a milk distr but
ing factor"
Copeland Promises Inquiry
W Itu Inns was DrOuSHL 10 the a l.
tention Of DR.. Copeland, who is heac
Of the Fair Price Milk Committee, he
announced thnt he would give it i'm
mediate consideration.
Dr. Copeland said that he would
Communicate with Mr.. Alhor for ad
ditional data. The investigation of the
milk committee will be held up tenn
porarily, he said, pending the return
Of missionaries sent to distributors
The objects of these questionnaires, he
said, was to determine the actual costs
of milk pasteurization, distribution and
the other functions performed by the
milk dealers.
Cost of commodities not regulated
by the Fair Price Committee has been
advancing rapidly, retail grocers said
Yesterday. Mr.. Alhor said luXuries, in
Guiding canned lobster, serdines, funny
fish, olives and other relishes. have
advanced in price from 10 to 80 pei
cent during the last fortnight.

Alien Agitators
Are Silenced by
New Jersey Labor
Federation Votes to Take
Part in State Conference
With Employers to Aid
Industrial Co operation
Sner;oL CorresDoadeuce

Special 0rrespondence
ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 30.-Overrid-
ing the attacks of delegates Of foreign
extraction, the New Jersey State Fed
Grafton Of Labor, in its forty-frst an
nual convention here this afternoon,
voted to meet the employers haiti way.
The federation accepted the invitation
to send five members to a joint state
industrial conference that will have
also five representatives Of the busi-
ness interests and FIVE from the gen
eral public.
Decision to accept the overturcs of
the manufacturers for the conference
came only after the most scathing ar
raignment Of employers by the foreign
element and the pleadings of the Ad-
ministration forces, who battered down
tho contentious of the agitators.
Under the terms of the plan adopted.
which was placed before the conven-
tion in resolution form with the con-
currence Of the executive committee,
the council is formed "in order to
promote Industrial cooperation and
stabilize industry in the state"
Federation to Name Five
The workers. representatives at the
conference viii be named by the state
federation, each member representing q
union affiliated herewith, one Of whom
shall be either the president or the sec
retary Of the federation.
ho ol,,+; ,~%r Il
there were cries from tho foreign
radicals that the proposition had its
origin with the manufacturers and
was but another move to get the work
ingmen in the power Of capital. II
brought the first mention of the steel
strike on the floor Of tho convention
and bitter language in broken English
from the agitators.
Progressive leaders representing the
American element voted strong pro
test. "Thc reason there is stec
strike OF nationwide proportions to-
day is because capital refused to NEE
labor and hear their demands" said
one. "Ihc very thing that this rcsolu-
ton proposes to do Is the very issue
Of the strike"
Wilson Sends Greetings
President Wilson sent greetings to
/ day to the convention. His message
( follows:
Il shall be very glad to have 20,
convey my greetings TO the New Jcr
scy Federation Of Labor, together will

LIQUOR cONSP|RATORS
 O|V TRIAL IN TUCSON

TUCSON, March 1.-Joe Speer, a Douglas taxi driver, one of the ten de- fendants in the case of the United States against Harry c. Wilson, ct al. charged with conspiracy to violate the Reed amendment. on trial in the United States district court here today, was put on the stand by his attorney, D. A. Richardson of Douglas. in the midst of the governments offering of testi- mony, and made a statement confess ing that he drove a car loaded with whiskey from Rodeo to Douglas upon the order of Bart Hockett. one of the defendants, and that Harry Wilson and Cleo Wilson, defendants, also drove whiskey loaded cars from Rodeo to Douglas. His testimony did not affect any of the other defendants.
 Speer. with his attorney. had disas- sociated himself from the other de- fendants since the start of the trial by sitting some distance from them and by declining to be bound by objections of other attorneys for defendants.
 The court today admitted 23 of the government exhibits of documentary evidence, mostly telegrams alleged by the government to have passed be- tween the defendants in furtherance of the alleged conspiracy. Records of the internal revenue service were also ad- mitted today. purporting to show the daily receipts and disposals of whslsey by defendant D. NJ. Phillips. former whiskey dealer of Rodeo, N. NJ. This documentary evidence will probably be given to the jury tomorrow.

SAYS UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION GROWING
 MATERIALLY BETTER

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Material. improvement in the unemployment sit : uation is indicated by labor reports re- ceived by Arthur Woods, special assis- tant to Secretary Baker.
 While confessing that his task of re- placing discharged soldiers in industry had rather awed him, Mir. Woods said he did not view the problem as a ser ious one. A majority of the discharged soldiers are finding positions for them selves, he said, and a large proportion of those out of work have made small effort to obtain jobs.
 An important element in the work of finding employment for the fighting men, MT. Woods continued, is furnished q by the definite and decided improve ment wrought in each individual as a result of his military eperience. To ask these men to take their old jobs. he de- clared, would be to require a step back wards for them.
 MT. Woods said that in finding jobs for soldiers, every effort would be made to prevent the discharge of workmen now employed. No discrimination. he said, would be made in the case of women workers. but that cognizance would be taken of special cases where women did not need the employment.

 BY SELLING WHEAT

NEW YORK, March 7.-The United States food administration grain cor poration announced tonight that on March 15, it will begin sale of it's sur plus wheat holdings in American mill ing centers in an effort to prevent an increase in flour prices.
 Julius II. Barnes president of the corporation. said the department of agriculture report issued today indi- cated that contrary to public opinion the crop of 1918 will provide no more than sufficient to meet our home needs and the foreign requirements falling upon us," and added that already millers were experiencing such diff culty in obtaining wheat for milling that they were offering as high as 10 to 1j cents a bushel above the gov ernment's guaranteed prico to the farmers.
 "The grain proposition" he said. "by using part of it's accumulated stock for resale in the United States hopes to relieve the public from any material advance in the price Of four
 The government wheat, Mr. Barnes said. will be offered for sale on and after March fifteenth at such milling centers as Duluth, Kansas City. Chi cago, and St. Louis on the basis of cost plus accumulated charges.
