CREAMERY TO

If the Farmers Don't Buy 1t
Someone Else Will Have
the Chance

Another meeting in the interests
Of the purchase of the Plymouth
Creamery by the farmers OF New
England and some in Canada was
held at the Avenue Hotel Tuesday
and among those present were Rich
ard Pattce, manager of the NV Eng
land Milk Producers Association, and
J. w. Davies, the present owner Of
the Plymouth Creamery. The report
of the canvassers from the St.
Johnsbury district showed that SO far
1T had been successful, but there is
still $4,000 to be raised on their quo
Ia. This amount must be raised
among the farmers in this section
and everyone who has been approach
ed, with one or two exceptions, has
declared in favor of it and pledged
his financial support. Owing, to the
difficult travelling it has been impos-
slble TO see each farmer personally,
but the committee hope to see every
on within the next two weeks Any
farmer who is not personally visited
on his farm should call at the office
of the Caledonia Farm Bureau and
leave his subscription there.
1t was definitely decided that unless
sufficient money was secured by
April q the proposition to sell this
plant to the farmers would be drop
ped and all money paid in returned
to tho original subscribers. The
farmers now have a chance to receive
the benefit Of II cooperative organi
zaton or see the plant pass into the
hands Of a large competitor.

the exception of the Erie and Penn
sylvania, went on strike last night
and today practically tied-up all
freight in and ont of the city. The
day shift did not report at the usual
time and it is believed the strike will
be general. Officials of the switch
mems union said the strike was unau-
tholized and that they had been un-
able to secure any definite infolma-
ton as to why the men Went out.
Railroad officials expressed the belief
that the movement was in sympathy
with the Chicago strike.
