Wage Costs in MIX Prices.

What makes the high prices? Well.
consider the baby's milk.
Milk distributors figures show that
in this city Of New York the qua nifty
of milk delivered to consumers every
day is about 100000 quarts. The
value of this milk at the farm Is
about S235, 900.
But In the city Of New York the
milk wagon drivers and similar dis
tributers Of those 100000 quarts a
day, not counting clerks, &C., get
about $36OOO,0OO year for putting
the bottles on your doorstep. This
looks like about $4,000 for every
weekday. 1t looks like about 1-3
cents quart for the milk wagon
drivers wage cost In your bottle
Of milk.
Now the milk wagon drivers are
demanding another Ss,0OO,OO0 a year
in wages. This looks like tota. of
about $4,000 for every weekday. 1t
looks like about 51a cents a quart for
the milk wagon drivers wage cost In
your bottle Of milk.
The thousands Of dairymen engaged
in supplying the 2,7O0,OO0 quarts of
milk a day TO New York city have to
buy their farms, buildings, machin-
cry and other equipment, have to buy
or raise their cows, have to buy their
feed for them, have to milk them, and
have to handle the milk until 1t starts
on its journey to market. On all that
investment Of land, buildings, st )ck,
equipment, supplies and for all their
work and all their risk those dairy
men farmers supplying the 2,70O,o00
quarts day TO New York get in
gross receipts $235,OO0. The milk
wagon distributors In this town get
in net wages for putting 1t on your
doorstep about $4,000 a day and
now demand about $146,OO0i
Who would be dairy farmer
Would the milk wagon drivers listen
to proposal to change jobs with the
men who supply the milk?

The Bavarlan Reactionaries.

The reactionary movement In Ba-
varia, If the information about condi-
lions which has come out of that
country can be depended on, Is more
advanced and better planned and sup
ported than In any other part of Ger
many. A recent report from Munich
that Crown Prince RUPPREcHT was to
be crowned King of Bavaria was very
seriously commented upon by the press
Of North Germany as II political move
4 backed by France and one which
Germany in every probability would
be called upon to defeat. A Paris
newspaper, lie Petit Pdristen, puts
another light upon the matter and
holds that the movement has for it's
purpose the reconstruction of the Ger
man Empire under the leadership of
Bavaria and the Wittelsbachs instead
of Prussia and the Hohenzollerns."
The basis for this belief, 1t Ia stated.
Is the activity OF a Bavarlan anti
communist organization which sprang
into existence following the defeat of
the Munich experiment with Soviet
government and its manifest reaction
airy tendencies. This organization,
according to the Petit Pdrisien, is now
directed from Munich by General LU-
DENDoRFT and other well known Pan
Germans, who are its real chiefs, and
Is in a position to put into the field
''at short notice 100000 armed and
trained soldiers under the reactionary
leader General Won MoEHL." The
scheme Is first to restore the Wittels-
bachs in Bavaria and then under the
pretext OF combating radicalisrp to
gain control Of Berlin.
The point which the writer of the
article makes Is that The situation in
Bavaria is dangerous and peculiar"
In fact, one OF which France should
be wary. That France might look
now upon Bavaria with more or less
favor is perhaps natural. II would
be but n reversion to some past poll
cies, for the separation Of that king
dom from Prussia was considered one
OF the possibilities before the begin.
ming OF the Franco-Prusslan war. II
has been asserted that the recognition
Of the German republic which arose
In the Rhine region following the war
was part OF a plan to restore the
South German Confederation. There
Is unquestionably among some French
political parties n strong belief that
n South German Catholic combination
with Austria as member wouli he
n counterbalance to Prussian strength
in the north. But the stand which
the French Government took against
the union of Austria with Germany
when the recent proposal for n Dleb-
iscite on the question was voted nv
the Austrian National Assembly
should prove that this project was not
encouraged or countenanced nv
France. While France has sent a
representative to Munich with minis.
terlal powers, II should be remem.
bered that abe followed the same
course before the war, choosing to Zeal
directly with the Bavarian Govern.
ment rather than the Imperial Ger.
man Government.
That there Is reactionary move.
ment in Bavaria having for its pur.
pose the restoration Of the monarchy
may be true. But there Is every rea.
son TO doubt that the French are
either supporting or encouraging 81.
