Clark Exposes Gang Methods To
Keep Milk From Perth Amboy

ularity and good report that is
against the experience of milk de-
liveries. In desperation to drive
Clark out of Perth Amboy a few
weeks ago lighted bomb was placed
in the wagon of the dealer who pur-
chased milk from Clark for the pur-
pose of putting him out f business.
Having failed to drive Clark's trade
away from him they have succeed
ed in having inspected by the milk
tester of Perth Amboy milk that came
pered with and made impure and
finally they had the Board of Health
of Perth Amboy to order Clark's
milk not to be sold in Perth Amboy.
Mr.. Clark for a long time past
has had in his employ one of the
leading milk chemists OF the State
of New Jersey and every drop of
milk shipped to Perth Amboy was
~ure and wholesome as shown by
the daily examination of this chem
list.
Through the methods herein sta
ted supported by the orders Of the
Board of Health there has developed
in Perth Amboy during the past two
years. a monopoly that has cost the
milk consumers of that city the
sum of $150.000 for just as soon as
the dealers who are trying to drive
Clark out succeeded in getting busi-
ness of over 400 cases a day of 40
quarts each, they raised the price of
milk two cents and over a quart
and there has been squeezed from
the food of the babies and adults
of your city a profit of over $780,
900 on that raise alone. II Clark is
driven out you will pay to the mo-
nopoly another 100000 at least
every year.
Mr.. Citizen. give Clark police pro-
lection; keep the gang away from
his milk and he will deliver to your
dealers better and cheaper milk than
is now being supplied to you from
New York state. He will prevent
the monopoly from mulcting you of
100000 within the next twelve
months. He will prevent the mo-
nopoly from making inordinate
profits from the food that means
life and sustenance to your babies

Appeal TO Harding

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Presi-
dent Harding was asked today 10
take steps 10 end the coal strike in
a joint appeal presented TO him by
the Commission on the Church and
Social Service OF the Federal Coun-
ell of Churches. with which are sf-
filiated thirty great Protestant COM
munions. the Department of Social
Action of the National Catholic We'll
fare Council and the Social Justice
Commission of the Central Confer
ence of American Rabbis. This is
the first time, as far as is known,
that these representative organiza-
tons of Protestants, Roman Catho-
lies and Jews have taken joint ac-
ton in an industrial matter. The
churches in their appeal asked the
President:
To call a national coal conference,
To get the facts of the coal indus
try through a government investiga-
ton.
Not to wait until the suffering wo-
men and children of the mining
camps has become a national calan-
ity. and
To end the coal strike now.
The statement expresses gratifica-
tion that the press. as a whole, has
been successful in recording the
facts in the strike.
In the appeal the churches
express their conviction that the
time has arrived when the govern
nrent should act to bring about a
conference in the bituminous coal
industry TO end the present strike,

Serious Charges Are Made
By Clark, Dealer Whose
Milk Has Been Barred

Mr.. Clark today makes a state
ment in which he charges his ene-
mics with doctoring up his milk by
dropping pills in the cans of milk
after they leave his dairy and be-
fore theG are taken from the cars
by dealers. He charges his oppon-
ents with bribery and at
tempted bribery. He claims that
they have turned over TO the Off
cial milk tester of the health board
milk which they have Contaminated
and thus received a report from the
tester that the Clark milk was unfit
for consumption. The recent episode
OF the finding of a bomb in a milk
wagon is another phase of this cam
paign waged against him. Clark de-
clares.
The Board of Health at their
meeting last Tuesday night unaui-
mously passed a resolution whereby
Clarks milk is barred frcm Perth
Amboy owing TO the poor reports of
the condition of the milk as received
from the boards tester. The
boards action was not the result
OF one test, but marked the culmi-
nation of a long period of invests
CATION and probation. The Clark
milk was found TO be under the city's
standards several months ago and
the health board warned the dairy
proprietor that better milk must be
sent into the city or it would not
be allowed.
Mr.. Clark maintained that the
rniik-was perfect when it left Clfrl On
for Perth Amboy by train and ne
asserted then that il was being
tampered with. Although the case
was brought TO the attention of the
mayor and local police oy Health
Officer Charles S. Thompson and an
attempt was made to find how the
milk was contaminated, the alleged
perpetrator of this act were never
discovered. Railroad detectives were
also engaged TO watch the milk, 4
is said, and they. too, foiled to find
the guilty parties, if there were
such parties doctoring up the milk
as Clark claimed.
Now that Clark has publicly made
his charges against the milk dealers
who have been competing against
him it is likely that the health board
VIII again take this matter up in
order to determine whether or not
the milk supply of Perth Amboy is
controlled by this milk trust which
ring of his milk.
Although il was general expected
that the action of the health board
last week in barring Clark's milk
here would end this long-fouEht
feud, il seems TO have been only the
opening gun of another battle which
will involve the city officials.
If Clarks claim that his milk is in
first class condition when it leaves
his dairy but is below the standard
of the health board when il is de-
livered in Perth Amboy. is found to
be true, il is expected that the city
and health board officials will find
some means of detecting the person
or persons responsible for doctoring
the milk and thus lowering its stane-
ard.

George N. Clark has been selling
milk to dealers in Perth Amboy for
over twenty-five years. He is born
Jerseyman and his creameries are
situate in the richest and cleanest
dairy district of New Jersey. For
over twenty-five years his milk has
been of the highest standard. He sup
plies milk in Newark. Jersey City.
Elizabeth, Bayonne, Westfield, Eas-
ton, Plainfield and South Amboy and
in the health boards of the muni-
cipalities his products are accepted
as excellent.
Perth Amboy is the only place
where any fault is found and the
reason is this: Several years ago
there came to Perth Amboy a set
of milk dealers from New York. By
threats, intimidation and unfair
their competitors and George N.
Clark was the only one left in their
way to destroy their monopoly and
keep the price of milk down. Dur
ing the past two years this gang has
done everything they could to ac-
complish their ends. According to
q sworn statement made by one who
knows. they have threatened dealers
in Clark's milk with bodily harm if
tney QlQ not Cease DuyluS Illlk IrOul
Clark: they have placed ashes and
dirt in Clark's milk and then deliver
ed a sample to the Perth Amboy
Board of Health inspector to ex-
anime and report against Clark: they
have bribed railroad workingmen
and watchmen to permit their hire
hngs time and again to place pills"
in whole carloads of milk to make
It sour: they have offered thousands
of dollars, to dealers who buy
Clark's products to cease dealing
with him: they have succeeded in
deceiving some of the members of
the board of health in believing that
Clark's milk was unfit for use; they
have succeeded in producing for in
spection by the milk tester of Perth
Amboy time and again milk which
they contaminated and the tester has
reported the milk unfit for consump-
ton: they have succeeded in having
their own milk reported as mt for
Use for over two years with q reg

Workers. who will meet tomorrow
night with rail union chiefs 10 con-
slider joint strike action in the
threatened rail walkout of approx

said, would first have a marked
moral influence on labor generally;
second. would dislocate the trans
portation system of the nation. ami
third, would affect the industrial
fabric.
Coincidentally ten railroad union
presidents made public last night a
letter 10 the labor board announc-
ing their intentions of going through
with the strike in event one is au-
thorized by the vote of the union
members.
The railroad union heads in their
letter declared they have done
everything 10 avert strike. assert
Ing there is no appeal from the rail-
road boards decision cutting wages
and altering working conditions and
reiterated their statement that rail-
road employees are entitled to a
living wage"

Would Raufy Treaties

PARIS, June 10 by The Asso-
ciated Press) Poincare' II
is understood. has decided to press
parliament for immediate ratifca-
ton of the treaties negotiated at the
Washington conference without res
ervations of any character.
Rear Admiral Laceze, former
minister of marine who was charged
with the task of studying the treaty
especially the naval limitations pact,
has reported to the premier tnat
in his judgment there will be no
pronounced opposition.
One consideration that seems TO
have weighed strongly with the gov
ernment in reaching its decisions is
that it would be well for France 10
ratify these treaties before Great
Britain with the view TO modifying
the unfavorable impressions pro-
duced in America by the French
delegations positions on some as
poets of the naval question.
The French government, II is de-
cIared, has determined TO decline to
accept amendment for reservations.
although it seems quite probable
that some will be proposed in the
Chamber of Deputies.
