In Threatened Milk Shortage
DAIRIES to canvass homes to find
where babies nre.
These and hosn tals to bo served
first, leaving stores and restaurants
to wait.
Philadelphia's milk consumption
of from 600,000 to 550.000 quarts
dally to be cut in two by railroad
striko (estimated).
Milk trains and dairy motor
trucks traveling in 76-mile radius to
bring milloto city.
Dairies to be handicapped in cool
intc and pasteurizing oy expected
coal shortage.
Milk for babies and hospitals will bo had,
railroad Btrlko or not.
This became apparent today when the
largo milk dealers of the city announced
that they had taken steps to procure at
least half their normal supply by motortruck
If tho railroads And It Impossible to trims'
port milk In the quantities needed. Hos
pitals and houses where there nro bable3
will be served first.
Philadelphia, drinking from 600,000 "to
RRfl nnn ntmrta nf mlllf n dnv. must tin enri-,
tent with half that amount, It was eslt"i
mated. Babies, children and patients, whoc
drink approximately half the total, will not
suffer, as tho entire supply. If necessary, will
be turned over for their use.
Fleets of autotrucks operated by the largo
and small dairies will collect the 'milk from
the farms that He within 7B miles of the
city. The northern Pennsylvania, southern
New York nnd eastern New Jersey da ry
farms and other more distant milk sources
that In normal tlmos furnish milk to tho
city will be eliminated.
The greatest fear entertained by tho
dairies Is the threatened shortage of coal,
which Is necessary for tho cool ng and
pasteurizing of milk. Another serious
drawback, should tho railways be tied up
completely. Is a shortage In bottles. Sev
eral milk concerns reported being bohlnd
In their supply of bottles, duo to labor
troubles and the recent congestion of tho
ra lroads with ammunition shipments.
In Bplto of handicaps, the dairies will en
deavor to continue an uninterrupted serv
ice, paying especial attention to family
trade. Tho presence of babies In a house
will mean milk at that door If there Is milk
to be had.
"A canvass of houses by our drivers will
determine) where the babies are," said O.
It. Llndback, president of Abbott's Alder
ney Dairies. "These houses will be served
first. Our store and restaurant trade will
be cut down. If necessary. Our supply
will come from our farms that He within a1
radius of 60 miles and I think we'll bo
enabled to bring In B0 per cent of our nor
mal supply by automobile."
The Suppleo AJderney Dairies have, de
vised p. plan to,s'jri-e every cust6mer by
reducing the amoijrit per capita, according
to C. H. Supplee, owner. ., . .
"We Intend to'furnlsh milk first to ba
bies and hospitals and then to every cus
tomer, however small tho amount may be,"
he said. . . . .i-"
"It will be a seriWs' problem td 'operate
a. dairy plant If Uie coal supply Is limited:
Another problem' vrl be returning'" the
empty cans to bo, refilled. Unless the rail
road's arrange to serve milk as usual and
to return the cans the motortruck milk
transportation system will have a big job.
For Instance, It would be an all-day under
taking for an automobile to bring milk
from a farm, say, 75 miles distant and
return the cans."
The price of milk remained stationary
today in the face of developments. There
will be no advance from the present price
ot 8 cents a quart, dairymen said, unless
the "wholesale price goes up. Philadelphia
pays less for its milk than any other large
city. It was stated.
Anticipating a shortage, David C. Clegg,
chief milk Inspectorfl today began arrang
ing for tho Inspection of powdered milk
should that preparation spring Into gen
eral use. This milk Is "made" by pouring
boiling water over the powdered prepara
tion. The resulting fluid must undergo in
spection just as ordinary milk, he said.
Only small quantities of it were found by
his Inspectors, but it is believed that should
transportation be severely crippled there
would be a heavy shipment of the com
pact preparation Into the city.
Tho shipment of milk. It was said by
Pennsylvania, Railroad officials, would
precede all other goods In the event of a
serious railroad tie-up. Freight embargoes
do not affect it, milk being sent by passen
ger trains.

GARRETSON DEMANDS 8-HOUR DAY
"AS RIGHT TO BE ALLOWED EVERY MAN"
By J. P.
WASHINGTON". Aug. 31. A legislative
settlement, even though It does not Include
all demands made by the four big railroad
brotherhoods, will bo acceptable to the
400,000 employes who havo all plan3 set
to striko Monday Such settlement, A. B.
Garretson, chief of tho conductors, told the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commltteo to
day, must Include an eight-hour day law.
W. a. Leo, trainmen leader, told the
commltteo the brotherhood chiefs could (lash
tho mesnge "satisfactory settlement" nnd
halt the strike, provided the eight-hour bill
is passed ny saturtlnv midnight. Tho men,
ho said, are willing to submit to tho
collateral Investigation of wages and the
like. Involved In the measure.
llarrctson was the first speaker nt the
hearing to consider testimony from the
brotherhood chiefs, tho railway president-!
and tho shippers before legWatlvc nctlon is
taken,
'Ab for tho question of nuthorlty," said
Garretson. "I could call oft the striko, But
that would bo only through a satisfactory
settlement such ns I han lust mpntlnnnl.
jFpr, that mattpr. I caro not through what
-agency that satisfactory settlement may
come.
"You have seen the scare headlines about
refusing 'to call off the strike, bravado and
all that," continued Gnrrctson. "I don't
kriow whether you realize tho responsibility
wo ha'p because of tho striko vote. It
cannot be put lightly aside."
NEWLANDS OUTLINES LEGISLATION.
Senator Newlands opened tho commltteo
hearing by outlining the six measures de
sired by President Wilson. Ho said no
legislation proposed or to be proposed would
Involvo compulsory arbitration. Tho
strongest measure In that direction, ho said,
simply called for a Government Inquiry
nnd report that left both parties to tho
dispute freo to act as they thought best.
The committee room was crowded. Every
scat was, occupied and tho spectators over
flowed Into tho hallway Samuel Gompors.
president 'of tho American Federation of
Labor, arrived with tho brpthcrhood execu
tives. At times during Garrotsons talk
Gompers nodded his head in vigorous
acquiescence to tho points mado by tho
speaker.
Among tho railway heads present were
Hllsha Lee. chairman of tho national confer
ence committee of tho railways; E. H. Coap
man, vlco president of the Southern ; John T.
Walker, secretary of the conference commlt
teo of tho eastern railways; A. D. Grelg,
assistant to tho receiver of the St. Louis
and Snnta Fe; J. M. Shochan, counsel of
tho national conference committee ; C. L.
Bards, general manager of tho New Haven ;
N. D. Mayer, vice president of the Nor
folk and Western ; L. W. Baldwin, general
manager of the Central of Georgia; W. L.
'Slddonb, vice president of tho Seaboard Air
Line, and H. W. McMaster. general man
ager of tho Wheeling and Lake Eric.
ELLIOTT AND GOMPERS MEET.
Howard Elliott. president of tho New
Io.vct entered as Gompers came in. They
DQwea slimy to eacn omer ana went iu
"Beats at opposite ends of the room.
Garretson pointed out tho fight the broth
erhoods have had since they organized to
.get better working conditions. He said
before the organizations were perfected It
was a common thing for men to be on duty
with human lives in their charge 72 hours
on a stretch. It was out of the ordinary,
ho said, for men not to work 24 hours v.
day for two or three days at a time every
month.
"And always their monthly wage was tho
same. Can there be a better argument for
time and a half for overtime work?" he
demanded.
Ho said the men demand the eight-hour
day they do not request It "as a human
right to bo allowed every man."
"ALWAYS KEADY FOIt A CALL."
"We are demanding some of the pleasures
the ordinary man enjoys. We are mere
travelers over the face of tho earth. Only
through the eight-hour day can we have
a part of the rights and pleasures of life
enjoyed by the average man. I wonder
how many of you gentlemen realize what a
boon It Is that your lives In your homes
are a sealed book when you want It to be
so. It Is not so with the railroad man.
We must always be ready for call. Even
when off duty our employers must know
where we are. We believe the employer
should keep the human part of his plant
In as good condition as the Iron and wood
part.
"With nn eight-hour law properly en
forced present conditions would be Im
possible. Why, It used openly to be advo
cated when train crews had long shifts
that so vlorur as one man stayed awake

York Central's embargo on perishable

midnight Thursday, while that of the Penn
sylvania will become operative tomorrow.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad today

the commission to Investigate th6 workings
of such a. plan nnd the military necessity
plan which tt'-Jld permit the President to
take over railroads and draft men to

poses only. It was said the House would
pass such an omnibus bill tomorrow sure.
In order to get a postponement of the
striko order, should thcro bo difficulty en
countered In tho Senato whoso rules prevent
cloturo methods, It is tho Intention of tho
President and the Democratic lcadors to
pledge passage of tho eight-hour law nnd
Insist that the strllto bo called off.
So far the brotherhood chiefs have re
fused to say whether they will do this.
YODEIt
while tho rest got a nap it would bo nil
ilehi ."
Garretson served notice that tho brother
hood opposition to legislation like tho
Canadian disputes act is unswerving.
"No Influence can chango our position on
this," ho said.
Tho railroads, Garretson said, havo
mado only ono definite settlement pro
posalto shift tho wholo question to the
Interstate Commcrco Commission or to
submit to arbitration. Ho said tho
brotherhoods dn not oppose tho principle
of arbitration, but do opposo It under Its ap
plication to recent cases where, ho said,
tho ro.uls have done their own Interpreting
of nwnrds.
"Our men nro human," ho continued
"They are men who hourly are faco to
face with the death angel "
They ure exposed to tho Inclemency of
tho elements, the ery nnturo of their work
makes them hard-headed and resentful of
Injustice. It is n business where cowards
quit and weaklings die."
Reviewing President Wilson's legislative
program. Garretson reiterated tho men
were willing to wnlvo part of their op
position. He also emphasized his objection
to any compulsory arbitration luw and to
legislation similar to tho Canadian disputes
act. He gave Instances where, ho said,
tho Canadian act had operated against tho
men.
GOMPERS TESTIFIES
Samuel Gompers, president of tho Amer
ican Federation of Labor, followed Mr.
Garretson before tho committee. Ho de
clared the Executive Council of .tho Amer
ican Federation of Labor had decided to
back up the demands of tho railway
brotherhoods for an eight-hour day, and In
opposition to compulsory arbitration of In
dustrial disputes.
"Wo contend that If employers havo tho
right to discharge a worker for any causo
at all, or for ho cause," Mr. Gompers said,
"the workers shall not bo deprived by law
or otherwise of tho right to quit."
Conscription In time of peace, Mr. Gomp
ers said, to force tho men to run tho rail
ways, Is repugnant to every Idea of Amer
icanism. Making It criminal for men to quit work
In concert, ns ono of tho bills provides,
would never work out, Mr, Gompers said.
LEE URGES EIGHT HOURS.
W. G. Lee, president of tho Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, followed Gompers.
Ho outlined In detail tho demands of tho
men and tho negotiations up, to date, fol
lowing tho lines ot argument already cov
ered by Garretson.
Tho only means of preventing tho striko
Monday, Mr. Leo told tho committee, would
bo acceptance by tho railroads of tho pro
posal made by President Wilson or pasa
ago of the proposed eight-hour act before
the close of tho workday Saturday, In no
other way can the catastropho be avoided,
ho told the committee flatly.
RAILROADS OPEN CASE.
Judge R. S. Lovett, chairman of the board
of the Union Pacific, opened the caso for tho
railroads. He declared that the controversy
was not merely between tho railroads and
their employes, but that the public Itself
was now a party.
"Tho railroads aro now owned by great
numbers of Investors," ho said, "many of
them nro small In veators. Bankers do not
buy railroad securities to keep, they buy
them to sell. The bankers have not at
tempted to Influenco the railway executives
In this controversy. Speaking for myself,
I have received one letter from a banker
and that urged that I accept the President's
proposal, as the easiest means to end this
trouble. I disagreed with him."
Judge Lovett declared that whatever ex
penso was saddled on tho railroads by
legislation or otherwise, "the public must
pay tho bill."
OPPOSES SHORTER DAY.
"Acceptance of the eight-hour-day prop
osition means an expenditure of $60,
000,000," Judge Lovett said. "That means
tho Interest at 5 per cent on $1,200,000,000.
And that Is only tho cost of the eight-hour
day.
"If, under the menace now before the
country, Congress decides to surrender to
these four men and place this $60,000,000
of additional cost on the commerce of the
country without Investigation, that Is the
affair of Congress. There are some rail
roads In this country which will be forced
into bankruptcy without extraordinary cur
tailment In their operations. Most of the
roads will survive, but many of them will
not. unless they are given early relief In
the form of Increased rates. I believe there
should be some Investigation befqre this Is
done."

stock. Many local slaughter houses will
bo compelled to cease operations.
The first Increase In price for food Is
expected to appear In tho meat markets, to
be followed almost Immediately by a boost
In the cost of fruit and vegetables. Several
dairy companies recently Increased tho price
of milk, and this occasion may be seized
for another Increase.
Apathy among commercial and Industrial
organizations which previously character
ized the situation had largely disappeared
today In this cltv and every effort was bent
toward the mobilization of resources.

RAIL STRIKE THREATENS TO SPREAD

CHICAGO, Aug. 31. Spread of tho pro
posed strike of the four brotherhoods to
36,000 shopmen on nineteen Western rail
roads threatened today as executives of
Chicago railroads began assembling this
morning at the Chlcngo Club to discuss
plans to fight tho brotherhoods.
The shopmen havo begun negotiations
with road officials In ten Western cities.
They aro asking for an Increaso of 5 cents
an hour, amounting to $4,200,000 a year.
The conferences now on nro believed to
be tho result of the secret meeting of Bhop
chairmen held a week ago In Kansas City
to formulate plans to Join In tho eight-hour
movement of the four brotherhoods.
Western railroads will not try to fight

officials were preparing to meet. They
will pool tholr resources for the benefit of
the country, which they say can bo saved
from grave Buffering only by drastic and
