Retail Milk Dealers To Receive Backing
 Of Wholesalers

The second step in Bridgeport's milk price war, which was started yesterday when the Borden company announced three-cent cut. was taken today by the Mitchell Dairy company. At meeting of the board of directors of the Mitchell concern this morning, it was decided to reduce the price of grade A milk from IS to Is cents and the price of grade E milk, from 15 to 12 cents. By this revision of prices. the Mitch ell company matches the Borden concern on the price of grade B milk. and offers grade A milk at two cents less than its competitor.
 This action on the part of the Mitchell company will probably re- sIIlt in a general reduction of prices by all milk dealers in the city. The Borden company's reduction has been accepted as a challenge and local dealers will undoubtedly slash their prices to meet with the new compe- tition. The matter will be thor oughIy discussed at a meeting of milk dealers which Is scheduled for to- night.
 That the retail dealers will be backed in their fight by the whole salers. is indicated by the fact that a reduction will be made by the Farm CTS Dairy company, which concern supplies Ss Bridgeport dealers with milk. A. B. Kearney, manager or the Farmers company, said thls Tnorning that a reduction will soon be announced. and that he hopes the people of Bridgeport will support To- cal milk dealers in the price fight

 NOT RECEIVED
 BY MRS. CHURCH

'-rhe allowance of s6.ooo granted by Judge Hainss has not yet been re- cetved from Alfred w. Church, by my client, Mrs. Elsie J. Church The time limit does not expire. however. until Jan. S1.'' This statement by States Attorney Homer S. Cummings, counsel for Mrs. Church, would indi- cate that the case wiu not be reach ed before February.
 David s. Day, local counsel for Church, who fought hard the request for a defense allowance of S5.oO0, has hinted that he would appeal from the ruling of Judge Haines. made upon a short calendar motion in Superior court. Such an action would necessarily greatly delay the ultimate actual hearing of the di- vorce action. which will be hotly contested.
 This appeal cannot be taken,'' stated Cummings this morning. NO appeal on an tnterlocutory motion can be taken. This is covered by court rule in this State, governing the con- duct of short calendar sessions of Superior court. The case will have to gon on when reached in its regular turn. We will be ready

Girls Being Lured

 To1,gued Young Men

New York. Jan. 11-Reports of white slave traffic between the U. S. and Panama, in which girls are said to have been lured from this coun- try by agencies who signed them up as performers in cabarets will be in vesdgated by Justice agents, Edward J. Brennan, in charge of the New York office, declared today.
 Disclosures of Miss Anne Mason of the alleged traffic were made public today. Miss Mason, member of a having signed such a contract She was warned by a government officer on board the boat she took to Pana . ma that the cabaret part of the es-. tablishment in which she was to ap- pear in Crystobal. Panama, was only camouflage. When I arrived at Cristobal. Dr. Torrey. the quarantine officer told me the same, but the meet me and he strenuously denied it," said Miss Mason.
 'Before the first night passed l found the charges against the place were only too true and that I was supposed to recruit the ranks Of the white slaves"
 Miss Mason with three other girls, secured transportation back to the United States.
 Present day agents Of the white slave traffic work very much like those of a large organized band broken up in 1918 after three years of intensive work by Department of Justice workers. Glib-tongued young men of prosperous appearance seek out girls of particularly pleasing man ner, in show houses, cabarets and dance halls. They make fattering offers to them of lucrative jobs in Panama and other Central and South ecn America countries.
 "We are always working on such cases.'' said MT. Brennan of the De- partment of Justice. E'We don't deny that Miss Maso~'s charges are true Since 1913 we V ve had many such cases but no series of them that would indicate another organized band is at work.
