PUBLIC OPINION
Milk Situation
.ditor Evening News:

Editor Evening News:
1T was with the greatest heart
felt pleasures that / read of the
revelation made concerning the un-
derhand, invisible system employed
in running the Perth Amboy milk
business. This bringing to light of
the most un-American, undemocra-
tic milk trust in this city was n
of the most beneficial and the most
important actions taken in an en-
deavor to safeguard the interests OF
the people. and surely the Perth
Amboy Evening News deserves the
credit of awakening an apparently
sleeping public. a public that let it
self be exploited and monopolized
by a trust.
This government will lot toler-
ate such nasty people and interests.
She has provided the antitrust laws
to combat such d~emoraliZing rings.
The people being the government.
the people having provided such
laws for its projections. then, why
should they allow m~onopolies in
Perth Amboy? Why should no1
every man have an equal chance %
carr an honest living in this city?
Why should a citizen Of Perth Am
boy fear to sell milk in this city be-
cause dirty, un-American interests
threate.. the safety OF his life and
private property?
at is the solemn duty of every
man and woman to discourage and
destroy any attempt to monopolize
business, particularly the highly i'm
portant milk industry. 1t is also
the patriotic duty of newspapers to
agiJate the public against the trusts
and educate the people to the cur
rent conditions affecting their inter-
ests.
Hoping you will see fit to give
this letter publicity in the peoples
column for the general good and
public welfare. l am
Respectfully yours.

spoke very eloquently, too eloquently
almost, it seems to me-of the in
fanny of such a deed as the act of
summary justice upon this thieving
fellow Mabey. Infamy was the pre-

monsieur. as you cannot fail to have
observed. an evil spirit of i%nsubordi-
nation in the air, and there is one
only way in which to meet it. To
tolerate, in however slight a de-
gree, to show leniency. however, le-

ATLANTIC CITY. June '21:-The
coal strike is having little effect up
on the railroads, and the carriers
are doing more business than ever
before in a similar economic period,
it was declared by c. w. GALLOWAY,
vice president of the Baltimore &
Ohio. at the convention of the
American Railway Association.
"The railroads r doing more
business today than they have ever
done in any other normal period"
he said. 1.-THE coal strike is holding
us up very little, even coal ship
ments are less than one-half of
what they should be. The only way
that the mine trouble will affect us
is If it lasts long enough and that
is doubtful"
