MILK PRICES
INVESTIGATED
II Cents a Quart Too High,
General Opinion Mothers
Heard in Protests to City

There is considerable discrepancy
in the statements of the milk dealers
of the city in regard to the price of
milk and the source where the price
is set. Apropos of the meeting of
the Board of Health, Tuesday night,
when the milk situation was gone
over thoroughly by the health COM
missioners and the city nurses. an in
vestigation was made which has re-
suited in interesting disclosures in
the local situation.
Milk at the present time is selling
at seventeen cents a quart, when,
according to the statement of one
milk dealer it could well be sold at
fourteen and a reasonable profit be
made. 1t was understood that there
was an organization here known as
the Milk Dealers Association, which
practically controlled the milk stu
alton here in regard to price and dis
tribution. This organization. how
ever, which functioned last summer,
is not in existence now. it is claimed.
However, it was authoritatively said
by milk dealer that this same
group is now sticking together and
controlling the price.
An interview with member of the
firm of Reder Brothers. wholesale
and retail milk dealers brought to
light the existence of the Dairymen's
League, a national organization that
is supposed to control the price OF
milk throughout the country. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Reder. this organiza-
ton has the complete say as to when
the price of milk should rise and
drop and it was insisted that this
method is strictly adhered to In
Perth Amboy.
1t has also been stated that the
wholesale dealers here pay no more
than nine or ten cents a quart for
their milk. thus making a profit OF
seven or eight cents. Discussed by
the Board of Health it was said that
four or five cents profit would be a
Laying game for auy dealer.
At the meeting Of the health board
last Tuesday night, the question of
->cdernourished children provoked
the discussion which has resulted IN
tho investigation. The city nurses,
who have the welfare of the chill
dren at heart told CT scores of cases
where, because of the lack of prop
err food stuffs, including milk It was
impossible to properly feed their lit
tie ones. 1t was found that hundreds
of babies are far underweight and
subnormal in development because
of the lack of milk.
The industrial depression which
has thrown such q large number OF
men out of work is, of course. given
as the reason why the families are
not properly fed, but it was conced-
ed by the health board that If the
price of milk was made lower there
would be better chance of the chill
dren getting fuller nourishment.

French Republic, regard the COM
mission that when in May, 1920,
the premiers' conference assumed
the perogative of discussion and fix
ing the amount of the German in
demnity. Poincare promptly resign
ed, stating Indignantly that it robbed
the commission of it's primary func-
ton and lowered its prestige.
Our own State Department, while
only unofficially represented on the
Reparation commission. has taken
the same view of Poincare.
How It's Made Up
One delegate, and one assistant
delegate from each of the principal
powers, compose the commission
The United States is represented un-
officially, since she is not a sign
atory of the treaty, but exerts great
influence.
1t is specially stipulated that the
United States. Great Britain, France,
Italy and Begium shall be repre-
sented at all times except when
maritime matters are under consid-
eration, in which case the japanese
delegate will supplant the Belgian
delegate; or when questions affect
ing the newly-founded states are
under consideration, in which case
the Belgian delegate will be sup
planted by the Common delegate,
who represents Greece, Poland
Rumania, the rb-Croat-Slovene
state and Czecho-Slovakia.
Hearing of Germans
The delegation of the German gov
ernment is heard at meetings only
when permitted by the Reparatior
commission, and diplomatic courtesy
seeks to render its entry as little
embarrassing as possible. When the
| German delegate, accompanied ps
| his assistants. appears, dignlhed ano
stern. the allied delegates rise ano
salute slightly. They then resume
their places and the discussion COM
mences.
The meetings are held in the Con-
ference Hall of the Hotel Astoria
Paris (today decorated with tapes.
| tries stored away under ground DUR
| ing the war), where William II
boasted it was his intention to Offer
the feast of victory to his generals
The commission never takes de-
cision touching the economic capacl-
| ty of Germany without giving the
| representative of that country an op-
portunity to be heard.
The commission is subdivided into
| the following services.
| (a) Restitution and reparation II
kind.
| (b) Finance service.
| (cl Valuation service.
| I'd Legal service.
| (e) Maritime service.
| (f) Intelligence service.
These various services conslde
particular phases of the problem
submitted to them and after consid
ering the details make recommenda
tions to the commission proper.

IRISH ACCEPT
CALL To CONF Err
De VaIera's Reply to Lloyd
Georges Invitation Reaf-
firms Irish independence
is SOVEREIGN STATE
Only as Representatives of
State Has Guardians Power
to Act for People
is SOVEREIGN STAT

DUBLIN, Sept. Is (By The Asso-
ciated Press) :-Eamon de Valera In
his reply to Lloyd George accepts
the invitation to the proposed Inver-
ness conference in the terms of the
final paragraph of Lloyd Georges
last letter, but reaffirms Ireland's in
dependence and declares that only
as representatives of such have the
Irish negotiators any authority.
The text says:
I'm this final note we deem it our
duty to reaffirm that our position is
and can only be as we have defined
it through this correspondence. The
principle of government by consent
of the governed must be the basis
of any agreement which will achieve
final reconciliation.
1--WE hope that these representa-
tives (the Sim Fein negotiators)
will find it possible to be at Inver-
ness on the date you suggest, Sep
tember 20.
"Our nation has formally declared
! is independence and recognizes it
self as sovereign state. 1t is only
as the representatives of that state
and as its chosen guardians that we
have authority or power to act on
behalf of our people"
DUBLIN, Sept. 15.-(By The AS
sociated Press) ).-Continuan of ne
gotiations with the British govern
ment with a view to establishing a
basis for peace was believed here to-
day to depend on the report sum-
mitted to Eamon de Valera and col
leagues by Harry Boland and Jo-
seph McGrath, the couriers sent to
Gairloch on Monday. to confer with
Lloyd George. The two couriers
were expected to lay before the Ir-
ish republican leader explanations of
certain features of his latest note to
| Dublin, and there was optimism that
the five plenipotentiaries named to
carry on the parleys with Lloyd
George would go to Inverness soon.
There seemed to be belief that the
Sim Fein must abandon its demand
| for separation as one of the most
| troublesome factors in the present
| critical situation.
Arthur Griffiths. Michael Collins,
| Robert c. Barton, Eamon j. Duggan
and George Gavan Duffy. the dele
gates appointed yesterday to take
part in the conference with represen-
tatives of the British government,
might, it was said, take the Sim Fein
reply to Inverness. There were many
who believed they might wait until
| Lloyd George announced acceptance
of any terms the Sim Fein laid down
preliminary to the conference.
