They knew that besides the appear

The entire section of Mechanics

tree. 1t was the signal to the tardy
mothers and their children to hurry
for the nights fun. For a minute
before the great doors of the house
were thrown open it looked as

to the room where the performance
was to take place. It was neces-

UTILITY BILL
FIGHT FOR CONGRESS
BY GEORGE HI. MANNING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-As soon
as the Christmas holidays are over
and congress gets right down TO
business Representative Isaac Bach
arach OF the second New Jersey dis
trict will make a strong effort to Sc
cure passage at this session of his
bill to prevent public utilities corpor-
atoms from appealing to United
States district or circuit courts to
set aside decisions of State Public
Utility Commissions.
This bill grows out of the action OF
the New Jersey Public Service Cor
poration in obtaining from the Unit
ed States district court an Injunction
enjoining the Public Utility Commits
sion from enforcing its seven-cent
fare order.
, Because it involves the question of
whether the Public Service Corpora
ton shall charge seven or eight cents
carfare all over New Jersey there
is immense interest in the Bacharach
bill all over the state.
Mr.. Bacharach introduced his bill
in January, 1929, but was unable to
overcome the opposition to the mea-
sure by the powerful public utilities
lobby at the last session.

The Milk Situation

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
The milk problem OF Perth Amboy
has not been soved up to date.
Thousands of people have talked it
ove and have wondered what has
happened to the bomb trouble and
who was the guilty man, but no one
knows yet, and L shall make my
business to declare and come out
with an open statement. We were
found guilty and have taken our
medicine and some of us went 10
Jail. hut the real guilty man is laugh
ing at the public and was pun
ished. He is the ringleader of the
entire milk trust of the city of Perth
Amboy and he took the greater part
in driving out competition and plan
ming all the brutal ideas. He tricked
me into that in which l was in
volved.
However, I explained some of the
situation and mentioned the ring
leaders name several times in court,
but he was never called to defend
himself. He remains a trouble
maker and is still driving out COM
petition to this date. and it remains
for this milk trust to make hundreds
of thousand dollars yearly and de-
prive thousands of children nf their
precious food, which il mink.
MIX Is sold In surrounding SUES
for Is cents a quart anc IA cents for
loose milk, and when l want to sell
milk in Perth Amboy at a price
which would give the poor man a
chance to buy a bottle of milk, this
man again puts his claw on me and
will not let me sell milk. The milk
trust of Perth Amboy would not sell
any milk and they would not let me
bring any milk from out of town
which is tested and passed by the
State Board of Health of New Jersey
and also New York. am looking
for a couple of pennies a day to sup
port my wife and children. Isn't it
a crime? In every other line of
business Perth Amboy has the big
gest competition. but in this milk sit
uation the public at large is abso-
lutely sold an shaved to one con-
trolling man-a non-American.
1 wish to arouse the public opinion
about this situation. which l hope
some remedy will be found about
this milk trust.
