Elkin Nathans, secretary, New York Milk Conference Board, "President Cooper, of lie Dairymen's League, is it -l an follows: 'New York is in tin- hands of the milk trust. The Now York Conference Board is nothing short of a milk octopus, with it tentacles on the throats of the 11ns trust ever been prosecuted or convicted for exerting its efforts to keep the price of a commodity within the reach of consumers? That is just what ihe New York Milk Conference Hoard is undertaking to do to-day. l'p io the present no one haa appeared to champion the cause of the consumers of milk except the distributors. Neither the national, State or city governments, nor such organizations as the New-York Milk Committee, have seen lit to assume any responsibility in protecting the consumer against the demands of the Dairymen's League for much higher prices.

"It, is true, prices to the consumer have not yet been increased, ami if tney are it will be by action of the individual distributors, as this matter is not handled through the agency of the New York Conference Boanl. lint several of our members have assured Mr. Hoover they were willing, pending his investigation, to take a business risk on all other costs of operation except the coat of milk itself and not advance the price to the consumer unless the cost of milk to them was increased. They claimed the right to oue-half a cent a quart profit as reasonable, but have only been able to earn about one-quarter a cent. It is, therefore, manifest the increases now demanded by the Dairymen's League could not be.

absorbed by the distribmitor. The natural inference is that if the cost to tie distributor is to be increased one and one-half cents per iuart in October and two cents in Novemlier, it must be passed on to the consumer. "The dealers are aware the producer has been coiitpclle'd to meet some heavy increases in cost. The dealers are heavy purchasers of feed, lalair, fuel and machinery and know from experience ihese items have advanced in cost, but they contend the material advances made within the last six months have fully covered the nituatinii and make any further increases unnecessary. 'According to the report of the New -York Food Supply Commission, of which Mr.

Cooper, president of the Dairymen's League, is a member, the number of dairy cows in the State has heretofore been constaut for alxnit forty-seven years, but on April 24, 1017, there was an increase of 41i.7T4 dairy cows over Will. Further, the New Y'ork dealers are to-day purchasing more milk thnn the market can absorb and have decline! to take on about 10.000 cans now going into by product. This proves conclusively that tlie increased prices secured ly ttic fanners since Oct. 1 of last year have encouraged production to the point where it greatly exceeds the demand. Further increases to the consumer at this time react on the farmer through decreased consumption.

"Mr. CoopeT's statement that dairy cows are being killed off at the rale of 81 per cent per annum comes with such surprise I telephoned Commissioner of Agriculture Wilson at Albany. Mr, Wilson states he knows of no investigation to support these figures and that he stands by the last census as published in the New York Food Supply Commission's report above referred to. The usefulness of a dairy row Is about six or seven years, so that about 15 per rent of the cows are killed off normally each year, but these are replaced -by others, either home-bred or shipped in. and of late there have been very heavy shipments from Wisconsin and other Western points.

"The price now demanded by the Dairymen's League tire equivalent to cents per pound for butter fat and 38 cents per pound for cheese. Butter is now wholesaling at anout 4 cents and cheese at about 26 cents. An enormous quantity of milk ii going into these by-products. Is there any reason why it costs materially more to nroiluee milk for the children of New York City than for hutter factories? If the people are willing to pay without question the increase demanded by the farmers, then the dealers individually and the New York Milk Conference Board will cease their efforts and will confess to a mistaken viewpoint that they were obliged to take this position in defense of the consumer. But np to the present time they have felt it necessary that someone should assume the responsibility for preventing milk from becoming a lurnry" AUTO MAKERS AID U.

The man waa so seriously hurt that he was taken to "'OU UoSJ'ltol, The Real Estate Board of New York has filed a protest against an appropriation of Tor rents for build-inus occupied by the city outride of 1 1n Municipal Building. This is -'( licit I ban the ti in. ii I toruieriy paid before the Municipal Building was erected.

As far ns the Heal Esfule Boanl can ascertain this building has cost in the neighborhood of Its cost has been charged to so many il.fl'ercut accounts that I be actual amount is mi-poss ble lo ascertain, but it is at least ihe amount given and perhaps more. Ari'niigeuieuts could be satisfactorily lo house iu the Municipal Building a greift many of the departiueiit.s now outside if care exercised in the matter of its occupancy. A large part of one floor, for instance, is given up to a women's club which is very little used by the women employees of the city mid which never ought to have been net aside for that purpose. Bureaus a ml commissions which could easily be housed in an ordinary small oltice are given suites of rooms so that when a cili7.cu having business with such a bureau or commission ciitoin the oltice lie feels like a traveler in a wilderness, vast spaces be ng entirely unoccupied, while a long disiauce olf sonic minor official sils in some dignified state. If Ihe duplicating bureaus ami coui-uiittsious were consolidated, as the Real Estate Boanl has suggested, there would also be very much space Ihat could be occupied by departments now I sisl outside of the Building.

Ii the city docs not intend to go ahead with the building of the court la. use. the llulleiibeck Building could be used for a number of departments. In this pcrioif where so much money is needed for the extraordinary expeiwes of government there must be great economy in the ordinary functions of government. It seem outrageous that nearly SI should be paid by the city for rentals hen Ihe city in its own building has abundant space.

The Real Estate Board culled the of tin city to this at the time when the Public Service Commission rented the E.iiitnble Building, although it was clearly shown by of Accounts that the city had. space available in its own building for this commission. Before any new leases are made there should he a thorough examination of the Municipal Building made by men who are experts in laying out offices and providing for their occupation by employees.

Camp Fire Girls, However, Want Soldiers to Be Beneficiaries. Tlie Camp Fire Girls are about to launch a campaign for the conservation of wool, pspecially 'rni being used in unheard of quantities in every city, town and hamlet throughout the country by millions of women who are knitting. It is not the intention of the Camp Fire Girls to discourage knitting. But it has become increasingly apparent in the past few weens that thousands of women are knitting fay-colored sweaters for themselves, when they already have one or two of these garments for personal use, instead of devoting their knitting to the service of the country that is, knitting sweaters for the soldiers and sailors. The purpose of the campaign of the Camp Fire Girls is to induce women to devote more of their time to knitting khaki and navy blue sweaters, good, warm garments, rather than tn making garment of burnt orange, old rose, Copenhagen blue and other similarly tinted yarns for themselves.

CIVICS BEGIN FALL SEASON. Members of the Oakcrest Association held their first monthly meeting of the fall season In the hall of Christ Congregational Church, Coney Island avenue snd Avenue Friday evening, with a largo attendance. Kirk H. Pierce, the president, was in the chair. This association many matters of local improvement on hand and the committee were Instructed to work hard during the eoniinj month, snd to report back at the next meeting.

One of the more important anion ini nii'i iniw lu'i'iiwkii iud i.r ilm mil. nf 'e York, Ii from the viewpoint of real' estate development and proviisoU for ilse commercial expansion, is the full development of Ihe East River. Thi is easily possible through the removal of if- siibiiieig 'il rocks and the making of a Ion loot commodious channel, thereby permitting a fuller use of the li ti 1 1 ii I uciiities of the port and incidentally bringing about a more intensive occupation of considerable upland on both the and Brooklyn i I. si.oiee oi i ue r.iisi liner. The greatest strain has been placed upon facilities since the outbreak of Ihe world war and having become preeminent among the leading ports of the world, the daily expanding commerce IB nceentiiatiiig the shortcomings and em- pliasixing the need for improvements among those interested in seeing that the part's recently gained supremacy is maintained.

With this end in view the Advisory Council of Real Estate Interests ha begun its fall activities by advancing the subject of a uropcr develpomeut the East River, confident that the undertaking of such work will inevitably benefit the great but uueconomically utilized district along the East River from the Battery to Harlem. "Making a channel suitable for navigation by the modern deep-draught ImtlniiiK." the council said yesterday, "and clearing Ihe rocks and reefs, so that they may safely dock to discharge and load cargoes would cause the building of wharves and they in turn would he followed bv warehouses and other i. tunltmU- com merce increases. "That is the basis for the steps aj-reudy taken looking Inward a co-ordination of the city's interests to accomplish this momentous necssity. even should il become necessary for the city to hch finance ihe cost of a development hiih ordinarily comes under the duty of the Federal (iovernineut.

because any expenditure the city might make would be recovered through increases in the assessed values which a proper use of now comparatively idle land such improvements would quite readily cause. "Furthermore, a suitable development of the East River Would divert to it much of the congestion of the Hudson River frontages and thereby make ac-commodatioh for the world trade the port is now doing snd will continue to do, if proper facilities are provided before some other pot captures the surplus business. "The question of sn adequate improvement of the FJast River by removal of Diamond Reef, extending from the Battery to Governor's Island, which causes a navigator to carefully pick his way between. New York Bay and the East River through channel twenty-nine feet in depth at high tide: the removal of reefs at Coenties Slip. Cor-lear Beef between Gouverneus Slip and Corlears Strait, and the dangerous rocks at Hell Gate, ha been before Congress for more than a half' century.

"Eivcry year the Rivers snd HsTbora Bill contains an a ppropriatlot! for thai imornvement of the East River, but a never ha a sufiiclent um been laid 001 to make any anpreciable Impression the work requiTed. I "The last Congressional appropriation, $1,250,000, made this year, is the gretest single allotment the Govern-! ment has ever granted for thi great work, but it is still far from the so-thority that would make the river really navigable, to the big freighters and thj naval vessels dockingat the Brooklyn, Navy Yard. "Th needs of the East River, from a defense viewpoint, were recognised a early as 1853. Major Fraser them recommended improvements saying: 'To speak of benefits accruing to commerce would be repeating what every intelligent perrin kfTows fuHywell: but" to secure to our national ships of the Prst class an unobstructed channel through the East River is a matter, though hardly thought of in times jbI peace, might become in rime of waf of the very first importance, not to New York alone, but to the whol "It is well known to those familiar' with the work of he Congressional Rivers and Harbors Commissions that no energy to get things done is displayed by New York City ss has been put forth by interior and coast cities of the most inferior importance in comparison with this city whose representatives secure appropriation while New York i passed by to appease the pushing of the public spirited, citizens of these communities. "What the East River needs was nut forth in a report last March on river and harbor improvement required for the fleet and defense bv Brigadier General, William M.

Black, which ths Secretary of War submitted to the Senate and was snproved by the joint Army and Navy Board. This report in "art aid: i "A csnnel forty feet deen exist from the sen to the tipper bay. but to give ac cess with this depth to the Navy YaM requinw -the 'uiprovement either of Buttermilk Channel at $4,000,000 or Diamond Beef at a cost $3 30O.O0O.
