The teamsters offered lto return to work. They were held up by the firm. They were told that some of the teamsters who, it was charged, had been gulity of violence, | would not be reemployed at all and | that the others would be taken back as rapidly as possible. So the teamsters continued to etrike. When the department stores DEAL AT LANG'S.

Coal dealers who Invisible Bifocal is § directed that fuel be taken to Mont- gomery, Ward & Co. or the depart- ment stores of the wholesale grocers found themselves without teamaters Retail grocery drivers refused to haal goods from the stocks of the wholesale grocers, who had tried to foree their drivers to deliver goods \to the department stores, who had insisted on delivering toMontgom- lery, Ward & Co. who had refused to take back their striking team- \sters. Express wagon drivers re- fused to deliver packages to any of the “unfair firms.” Teaming con- tractors who tried to have work done for any of these firms found themselves bereft of drivers. It was this interlocking of the drivers’ interests and the rapid spread of the strike from one inter- est to another that inspired the peo- ple with fear, not only of great financial loss, but of a shortage in the food supply. It in the belief of many disinter- eated observers that the Montgom- ery, Ward & Co. trouble would have been settled easily but for the fact that the Employers’ association felt strong enough to crush the team sters’ union and believed the time favorable for the effort. The rapid- ity with which it has pressed the | fight is suggestive of at least thor- ough preparatotn. A teaming company was formed with a capital of $100,000, which was quickly increased to $1,000,000, to place wagons with non-union drivers in service. The company was incorporated in West Virginia, which made {t possible to secure an injunction in the federal court. In- | junctions were secured in bothe the state and federal courts and the grand jury set to work grinding out indictments. Money without limit was sub- scribed to carry on the fight. Pro- fessional strike breakers, men who work only for princely feos, were brought to the city. So was a horde of men destined to take the places of the strikers. The Employers’ asso- ciation was formed about a year ago for the sole purpose of combating untoniam. In refusing to negotiate for peace SCHILLER MEMORIAL.

SOE EERE If you do not swallow more than 600,000,000 gorma when you drink &® glass of milk, you are safe. The milk is pure. The board of health says so, In the new milk ordinance, which it presented to the council last night for approval, it named 600,000 as the maximum number of germs that can lawfully exist in a cube | centimeter of milk placed on sale, | That means 500,000,000 germs to the | glans, 5,000,000,000 germs to the juart. Germs not of pathological origin are referred to. Cutting out med- is more dangerous than 500,000 at the ordipary bacteria. They must | be excluded entirely from the mill. The ordinar; rms are harm unleas they tin larger numb than 600,000 to the cuble centimeter, If a cuble centimeter, which is & trifle larger tha: of an inch square, contal mom }than half a million, it proba) contains an excessive Baw g | manure, and fs liable to prod | colle and other unpleasant reew | im tof: io To prevent the germs from multi- plying too rapidly, the ordinances WILL SAVE MO BULBS FOR DAIRYMEN.

To cool milk to that point the dairyman must efther resort to a spring or the fee trust. Bao- teria thrive in warm milk. Like President Roosevelt, they do not be- eve in race suicide, Place them under @ microscope and they will Teproduce themscives so rapidly that you cannot count them as they multiply. With them the popular motto, “Watch us grow!” is no joke. Although germs do not relish cool surroundings, the hardier races can withstand frigid conditions If nec- essary, Scientists have frozen ty- photd fever germs into cakes of loa, and when they were chopped out 100 hours later they hopped away, fresh and frisky. However, one of the board’s new rules is that milk must not be allowed to freeze. The list of rules for the mainte- nance of dairies gotten up by the board is a comprehensive one. A tow of them are given above, The eouncil, however, will probably in- sist that these rules be excluded from the ordinance, being classed merely as rules of the board en- forceable pursuant to the ordinance. The ordinance raises the stand- ard for the minimum amount of butter fat from 3 to 3.2 per cent. All dairies which own more than two cows whose milk is sold, must pay an annual license of $5. All delivery wagons must pay a license of $1. The license for stores sell- ing milk is $10, NTH IN” CONSTRUCTION WORK FOUNDATION ON PUBLIC MARKET WILL BEGIN AG SOON AS CORNER AT FOURTH AND SENECA STREET 18 GRADED Work on the new Central Market batiding will begin as soon as the/ @eavating te completed at the cor-| ner Fourth avenue and Seneca street.

If the same purchaser goes to a meat store, or a butter and cheese store, any other department, the purchase will be put into that seme basket delivered at the home. } 1 be- and {» |lowed the five “The delivery department will have certain hours when the teams will leave the market for each see- tion of the city. For this purpose the city will be divided into differ- jent districts, Purchasers going to the market will know just when to buy and just when the goods will be delivered at their homes, and for this purpose time cards, showing just when the teams will leave the market, will be tseued. “We feet in this way that the cus- tomers will get better service, The bankets for this department will be made of a uniform size and will fit into the wagons, so that the big- seet possible load can be taken and all customers served in the quickest ponalbie time.” BUNCH OF BAD ONES Complaints were issued against George Donelan, Charley Ishi, Albert Bvans and Frank J.
