at Citizens Meeting.

The widening of North Capitol street
from the Capitol to Soldiers Home, and
its extension through the grounds OF
the Home, was advocated at meeting

proposal, set forth by DR.. William P.
Kenealy, would no doubt link a vast
territory north of the Home to the
downtown section, its advocates said.

NEW YORK STATE MILK STRIKE
Is SCHEDULED TO BEGIN FRIDAY
Prices Paid Farmers Below Pre- War Level
While Retail Prices Are Higher Than Before

NEW YORK, May S-Dairy farm
ers of New York state are going ahead
with preparations for a milk strike
Friday and are ignoring the pleas of
the state and federal authorities
that they ought to wait until there
is sufficient Of general price rise
to warrant" their receiving higher
prices.
This argument is scorned by the
dairy farmers who point TO the fact
that they get less than two cents
quart for milk at the dairies and
that the cheapest grade Of such milk
sells retail for cents.
Consumer Prices Still Rising.
Prices for milk to the consumer
have scared from 2 to cents during
the past three weeks, but the prices
the farmers receive remain the same
The increase to the consumer and
the decrease to the farmer is strik-
ingly revealed by comparison with
pre-war. figures. In Jnuuary, 1888,
the price received by fs .fners in the

retail price in New York City was

This effectively gives the lie to the
claim of the milk trust that if farm
ers receive higher prices the city con-
sumer must pay more. The milk
trust can easily afford to pay the
farmer a much higher price and at
the same time reduce the price to
