"Bob" Thatcher, one of the oldest and

freed with the speaker. "Let's do some

i Finally It was suggested that a committee

' m there are complications ahead,

BERKS FARMERS MAY BOOST
MILK fRICE TO PHILADELPHIA
Farm Bureau to Consider Two and a
Half Advance
READING, Pa., Octi 11, An Increase of
Zi cents a quart In the wholesale price
of milk will probably be authorized at the
meeting of the Berks County Farm Bureau,
comprising all the large producers of this
vicinity, to be held here Saturday, morning.
Tho Increase Is to be nlmcd at outside ro
tallers, particularly those cf Philadelphia,
which Is the largest shipping center of local
farmers, and It Is not thought that the local
market will be materially affected.
There has been agitation for a higher
price among Jhe dairymen In Berks for
some tlmo past, and the situation has
reached the stuge where the Farm Bureau
has decided to take definite action. Ad
vanced cost of feed, building material and
labor are reasons assigned for the pro
posed advance.
The Interstate Milk Producers' Associa
tion, of which a number of Berks dairymen
are members, has already voted to advance
the price from 3H to 54 cents a quart
wholesale, f. o. b. shipping station. This
becomes operative November 1 and will
mean that the retail price ot milk in rniia-
delphla will advance to 10 cents a quart.
Heretofore the price on milK snippea to
distributors at Philadelphia and other
points has been 4 cents a quart, which In
cludes "freight charges. There are several
holding 6 -cent contracts and a uniform
scale of 5H cents Is favored.

Chew Sue Pong and Jew Tin have had
their names placed on the registrars' list
as Democrats, but that Is about aa far as
tll iUltf llv.lllilUU llttit nlllU..llva i .
Woodrow Wilson to be swayed.
Pong and Yin are the Chinese laundry
men who proved to Judge Rogers their
exemption to the provisions of the Chinese
exclusion act, and upon motion of Ignatius
A. Qulnn, of counsel for the Democratic City
Committee, were granted the rights of free
born American cltliens.
Neither one can associate President Wil
son with democracy and Indications are that
one of the Celestials wilt vole for the Demo
cratic candidate, more out ot love for the
party than anything else, while the other
will cast his ballot for Hughes.
The men ato cousins. They conduct a
modern laundry at J815 Haverford avenue,
noth were born In San Francisco, but have
spent a good many years of their lives In
China.
Yin, who Is forty-one years old, was alone
when seen at the laundry today.
"Aro you going to vote for Wilson?" he
was asked. He was operating nn electrlo
washing machine. An electrlo fan was try
ing with all Its might to clear the atmos
phere of a pungent odor of boiling shirts
and collars.
"We Democlat." came the answer.
"Don't you think the Democratlo party
displayed a certain weakness with regard
to Its Mexican policy!"
"Me Democlat."
"What do you think of the Democratlo
policy of watchful waiting?"
"He watchee. he waltee ; me Democlat."
"Don't you think we should have a pro
tective tariff?"
"Me Democlat."
"Well, are you going to vote for Wilson?"
"No vote for Wilson. Vote Democlat."
answered Yin. as n light of understanding
spread over his countenance.
Further than this he refused to commit
himself and went back to work.
Chew Sue Pong was found. Pong, who
has lived more than twice as long In this
country as his cousin, has mastered the
English language to a greater extent also.
He Is thirty-one.
' "What I think of protective tariff?" said
Pong In answer to a question.
"In my country man gets two cents a
day for work. Make lot of stuff." Rising,
he walked over to a door In a railing lead
ing from the front of his store behind
the counter.
"You see. If door open, lot stuff come
here, sell cheap. It door closed, no come
here."
"I like Hughes. He fine man. Me afraid
If I vote for Hughes Democlats put me In
Jail. Can they?"
When he was assured that nothtng of
the kind would happen, he displayed an
air of confidence.
"You see." he said, pointing his thumb
over his shoulder toward the rear room,
where his cousin was working, "htm Demo
clat." "What are you?"
"I know."

REGISTERED AS DEMOCRATS
Jew Yin and Chew Suo Ponjr are
West Philadelphia laundrymcn who
will vote In this election.
"Well, won't you vote for Hughes?"
"I guess so, but him Democlat," an
swered Pong as he cast a glance toward tho
back room.
Both Chinese are proud of their ability
to cast a ballot like American citizens.
Each has forsaken his queue nnd accepted
Chrtstlnnlty. Both are members ot the
First Baptist Church, Seventeenth nnd
Hansom streets. They will vote In the
fourth division of the Twenty-fourth Ward.

CHAMBER MAY SOLVE,
MILK PRICE QUESTION
Commerce Body's Agriculture
Committee Will Consider Ad
vance by Producers Today
Some adjustment of the milk price con
troversy between dairymen and city dis
tributors will probably be attempted today
at the meeting of the agricultural com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce In
the Corn Exchange National Hank. Charles
S. Calwell. chairman of the committee, re
fuses to discuss the postbllltte of the meet
ing In advance, but he admitted that the
matter of a fair price for milk may be
brought up by representatives of farmers
and city dealers. It Is expected that sug
gestions v be made for mass-meeting In
various pnrts of the city for publlo dis
cussion of the milk question. f
Although members of the farmers' as
sociations aro expected to attend the meet
ing today, It Is unlikely that they will agree
to a compromise of their announced stand
for an advance In wholrsnle prices, accord
ing to C R Treston. Chester County farm
agent, one of the originators ot the Chester
County Milk Producers' Association.
Ho said that no fears are entertained by
the farmers that their actions will come
under the jurisdiction of Federal courts.
The Sherman anti-trust law," said Mr
Preston, "exempts farmers nnd laborers,
so that we have the right to get together In
as many States as, we wish and fix prices.
The Interstate Milk Producers' Association
Is the parent organisation of small pro
ducers' unions In three States, but It can
not be restrained by tho Federal laws. We
have received able counsel on the legal
status of the organization and will con
tinue to organise."
The Incaster County Milk Producers'
Association, with BOO members, will be
formally organised nt I-ancaster October 19.
A Montgomery County meeting has been
called for at Trnppe for milk shippers of
that vIclnHy October II. Anether meetrmt
Is scheduled for, Berks County at Reading
on Saturday, vhen an advance of two
rents a quart wholesale IS anticipated.
The New Castle County Association will
also meet Saturday In Wilmington to de
cide on the matter of advanoe In the whole
sale price.
The actions expected by these various
associations will be for an advance from
the price of three and a halt cents a Quart
