$4,000 New York Farmers Strike Against Milk Trust

reason why force oannot break
this strike, because the force is
not adequate at present and be-
cause the calling out of the militia
would bring too great a storm of
protest and too great a counter
attack by the people of the coun-
tryside and towns.
But despite lessons learned by
the farmers during the strike, de-
spite their militancy and their n

SMALL FARMERS ARE
DETERMINED

The fact that those counties
where the strike exists are
striking almost 100 per
eeny as due to the activity OF
the small farmers who spread
the strike who were the first
to hold their milk back, who
were he first to dump scab
milk and fight back at the
troopers. And every day, these
farmers realize how their lead
ers are weakening when after
they have been dubbed by the
troopers their leaders state
"these troopers are manly
fellows only doing heir duty"
And every day, the farmers
realize where they have other
enemies besides the dealers
and politicians. In every COM
munity, the phcEets have also

POSSIBILITY OF BE-
TRAVAIL

One strong possibility is be-
trayal by WoodheaL He has spread
the idea that this is not a strike
against the dealers but against
the Milk Control Board, in pre-
cisely the same manner in which
he spread the idea in the last
strike that the strike was not
against the dealers but for a
Milk Control Board. Lehman is
being pressed to dissolve the Milk
Board. If Lehman does SO, Wood
head will probably say Victory is
ours, let's conclude agreements
with the dealers, the strike is nov
over" And because Of the mill
tarcy of the farmers, he may say
"Until such agreements are now
ra,ched, le+'s cali truce, if We
dor't get what we want, we car
go back on strike" Knowing full
well that ary Tet down would NEAR

THREE KINDS OF LEADERS

In the present strike there are
three sorts of leaders. There are
men like he Biestick Brothers of
Herkimer county, or the leaders of
the various County organizations,
middle farmers md rich farmers
(like the Piesticks) who are sin
cere in their demands for higher
prices but who are inclined to
weaken in the face of the attacks
and provocation of the state
troopers. There is Woodhead, built
up by the press as leader, waiting
for the chance to sell out the
strike as he did last spring. And
finally there IRE the picket cap
tains.
In the actual daily struggle, in
the fighting with the troopers md
the stopping of scab milk. pickets
are the leaders of the strike. They
are mainly impoverished farmers
together with the farm workers on
small farmers farms.

WHAT ARE STRIKE
DEMANDS?

What do the farmers want
In this strike?
They ask for a decent liv-
ing wage. They demand As
per cent of he retail price, or
5 cents to the farmer. 5 cents
to the dealer and Dhe cent for
freight charges. They also
ask that the cIassifica ion plan
be done away with, arguing
that whether the milk is used
for drinking or for manufac-
tured products, it costs the
farmer the same 10 produce.
They do not want the retail
price raised, they do not want
rhe city workers to carry the
extra amount for the dealers,
they want the dealers to give
up some of their swollen pro-
fits.

COURT HOUSE
RELIEF PROJECT

The building of a new Court
House would also go a long way
toward solving the unemployed
problem of Sheridan county, and
that's a thing to think about right
now. The building of the struc-
ture would probably give a dozen
men jobs for half of a year. 1t
would give a fat job to a hungry

Monday, delegation composed OF
Vernon Hoyen, county attorney,
and Card Peterson, Clerk Of Court,
(no, nit Sen. Fishbeck) went to
Helena, and represented the cOun-
ty in presenting the application
for funds with which to construct
the new court house. The delega-
ton expected to be heard by the
Advisory Board sometime Tuesday
and planned to be back sometime
Wednesday night or Thursday
morning with the news.

ers fear they wont do; and which
refusal gums things all up.
So the new court house scheme
is beset with all sorts Of compli-
cations, almost as untiable as the
old gordon knot that was cut
with the sword. It's really too
bad, for the building of a new
court horse just now is choke full
of pOssibilities-juicy ones, too.
OPPORTUNE TIME TO

As things stand, now is the time
to build court house.. Under the
Recovery Act, the Federal treas
ury would buy the bonds, nee

TRUST ENRICHED BY
MILK BOARD

One farmer at Bonneville, where
troopers attacked the strikers in
the first days of the strike showed
this correspondent that he had re-
ceived 80 cents for 100 pounds of
milk (or AZ quarts) since the Milk
Board rulings took effect while
the dealers gained $1.41 mere for
the the same amount of milk.
These prices IRE only for the
"fluid" milk, however. A word of
explanation is necessary here.
Milk, in New York, IS paid for
On the basis of its use, not on the
cost to the farmer. Thus, that
portion of milk which is sold for
drinking purposes is the Class 1,
or fluid, milk. The Board gives the
farmer four cents quart for this
fluid But that milk which goes
FOR butter, cheese, cream, ETC., is

WOODHEAD SOLD OUT
FIRST STRIKE

Last spring, the farmers in the
northern counties of New York,
especially around Rochester, went
on strike for higher prices. The
strike was led by Albert Wood
head, a former Rochester detective
who gained prestige among farm
ers because of his attacks on the
Dairymen's League. Woodhead
sold out he farmers in last springs
strike, and he is preparing to do
it I2gain. He persuaded the farm
ers to change the fight from one
against the dealers to one for the
creation of a Milk Control Board
which would regulate prices. The
Board was cre.oted. Woodhead an
ncunced it as 2 victory and the
strike was ended.
This ''victory" has resulted in
just what the Milk Trust intended
it to result in. AS far las the
Milk Board is concerned, the only
way to- raise prices for the farm
er is to raise the price paid by the
consumer; there is no thought of
cutting down the dealers profit.

DIVERSION Of ROAD
TAXES DENOUNCED
U. S. Official Objects to Use
of Gasoline Levies for
Alien Purposes.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

Impairment Of capital in road build
ing is seen BY Thomas H. Mcdonald
chief of the United States Bureau of
Public Roads, by diversion of gasoline
and other special motor taxes to alien
purposes.
In commenting on the tendency of
State Legislatures to take such reve
nueS from highway purposes. the road
chief said that such contemplated re-
ductionS are serious enough to endan-
ger both our large capital investments
in highway construction and the tech
nical organizations Of our highway de-
partments
These organizations, Mcdonald says
must be protected to hold what prog
resS we have made. adding that our
whole improved road mileage is alb
solutely dependent for its existence on
the day-byday highly organized main
tenance operations under experienced
supervision and control.
The public has no conception OF
the fragile character, measured by time
durability. of perhaps rs per cent of our
surfaced mileage" Mcdonald declared
in an interview. The fragile character
of this mileage may be realized by my
estimate that the lack of adequate
maintenance would be noticed seriously
on IS per cent OF our road mileage
within 80 days; within months we
would be losing money so fast. through
depreciation and drops in gas tax reve
nUes, that We would not have enough
money to take care Of the fixed charges
and maintenance alone-to say nothing
of running our chances of even ap-
proXimating the upwards of a billion
dollars income from the road user taxes
obtained last year from adequately
maintained roads"
Mr.. Mcdonald declared the subject
was one of national concern. adding
that it is impossible to overstress the
hazard to the publics interests in any
breakdown of maintenance and tech
nical control by highway departments.
