ROADS FEAR CHAOS
IF UNIONS STRIKE

CHICAGO. Oct. 4.-In the event of
a general railroad strike. both the
railroads and the unions will find
themselves divided. and develop a
situation that would spell chaos in
general business affairs.
This statement was made today by
a high railroad official who declined
to permit the use of his name. Con-
tinuing. he said:
The owners of the railroads-the
stockholders-are keenly alive to the
dangerous situation that will develop
even with sporadic outlaw strikes.
They realize the havoc that will be
heaped upon. not only the roads af-
fected. but business in general. They
will seek to avoid strike and head
II on as soon as possible.
"On the other hand. there can be
no general strike. as planned by the
trainmen and the shop crafts. be-
cause of the strenuous objections by
the passenger conductors and engi-
heers. Personally. 1 think that IL any
strike comes. it will be directed
chiefly against the Pennsylvania
system"

RIGA, Oct "A Iongshoremen's
strike. which was called yesterday.
has resulted in a delay in unload
ing three supply ships-the South
erner. Ulrikka and Moravia Bricse.
The Moravia Bridge was the first ship
to reach here direct from the United
States; the first two came from Dant-
zig. All were carrying American
supplies for Russian famine sufferers.
The strike was due to the expira-
ton OF an agreement between the
contractors and longshoremen on Oc-
tober 1. in which new wages were to
be granted in accordance with the
cost Of living The workers and en-
ployers have not come to an agree

itary and scientific handling
of milk on a commercial scale,
the firm of George M. Oyster &
Company. of Washington. D. C.. is
now being held up as a model to
the British Public at the big ex-
hibition on Infant Welfare. which
is taking place in London under
the joint auspices of the National
Association for the Prevention Of
Infant Mortality and the National
Baby Council.
This exhibition, which is draw
ing great crowds to Caxton Hall.
is intended to instruct the British
public in the latest methods for
cutting down child mortality and
the proper handling of the milk
supply is given a place Of prom
inence.
Under the warning caption:
How NOT To Do |" are enlarged
photographs showing unsafe milk
ing methods and the present un-
sanitary method of milk distribu-
ton practiced in England with the
small dealer pushing his cart from
door to door and filling his tin
cans from the large can which he
carries. In striking contrast with
these are photographs showing
scientific milking as beginning to
be practiced on certain model Eng
lish farms. notably that of Lord
Rayleigh. Then come photographs
of the interior of the Oyster plant
in Washington, d. C., showing the
cooling, shaining and sterilizing of
the milk, the cleansing of the bot
ties by mechanical aeticn and BY
germ-kiIlins solutions, the filing Of
the bottles by machinery, their
eorking, and their deliveryson an
endless belt to the wagons.
The American milk bottle is a
comps rative novelty in Great Brit
ain. 1t is said that there are not
ten thousand of them in all Eng
land. However. popular agitation
against the present methods is GER
tainly increasing.
