New York got its milk supply as usual this morning. Pousibility of a strike of drivers was averted through the efforts of Gov, Smith. All dairy companies said this morning that the drivers had returned and regular milk deliveries were made as usual. Ofi- cials of the Borden Milk Company and the SheMeld Farms Company said that the bottled milk had reached the consumers and the branch stores earlier than usual. Gov, Smith at the Manhattan Casi- no yesterday eonvinced the milk wagon drivers, who numbered more than 8,000, that a strike would be a public calamity, especially as it con- cerned invalids, babies and others de- pendent on milk for subsistence. During the early part of the mee! ing it was evident the men had de- elded to vote for an immediate strike. Various leaders had tried to reason with them, only to be shouted down. The Governor, who had been keeping in touch with the situation for sev- eral days, was notified of the critical situation and telephoned a request that a vote be postponed until ho arrived. After his appearance the drivers, who had been! stirred by radical agitators, andérwent a complete change in sentiment, and when a voto by acclamation Was taken Immediate- ly afterward, the “ayes” were ove | wheimingly greater than the “noes.” An exceptionally fine assortment of Shirts made of Broadcloth Silk in a well cled variety of neat stripes and pat- Worsted in natural color, © per garment, 1 65 Very comfortable garments of mecium weight, made of natural color Worsted. 5th Avenue For Tomorrow Men’s 34th Street Furnishings Priced Specially Low Silk Shirts signs, each, 7.40 Neckwear Neckwear Silk Four-in-Hand Ties of unusual beauty—rich in color and exclusive de- each, 1.65 Fine quality Silk Neckwear in a wide diversity of tasteful patterns. each, 95c Shirts and Drawers sirts and Drawers of medium weight Union Suits pair, 3.75 Tomorrow Only Half Hose Fine Thread Silk Half Hose in two-tone effects of Black with White, Red, Green, Blue or Purple. pair, 1.30 Half Hose Thread Silk Half Hose of good quality; in Black only, Pp » 750 A Special Offering for Boys Boys have always been a special concern with us, plan something special for them.

The same arrangement raises the pay of clerks to $22 4 k, plus 2 per cent. commission on all collec- tions, and of other inside help to $30 a week. The new scale is retroactive to Nov, 1 An immediate increase in the price of milk is inevitable, The distrib. uters have withheld the Novemver prices, which depended .on the settle- ment with the union. The Milk Con. ference Board says the settlement means an increase in cost of abv to the distributers of 1 cent a quart, while the November prices of the farmers means an additional half cent & quart, The Manhattan Casino wag jammed Dy representatives of the Milk Drivers’ Union, which is allied with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and they were obviously in a fighting mood. Gov, Smith, who had attempted to bring the men and thelr employers together earlier in the day, learned over the ‘phone from Michael Cashal, riist Vico President of the Brother. hood, that the intn probably would vote to strike immediately, so that no milk would be delivered this morning. He hurried to the hall from the Hotel Bilumore, arriving at the meeting; about 7.30 o'clock. As he entered there were some muttprings of dissent from the radical crowd, but the unfavorable reception was drewned by cries of welcome and “Hellv, Al!” ‘The Governor was introduced by Casha! as a friend of labor. The Governor in his speech, which | lasted only fifteen minutes but was delivered in a tone of impressive se- riousness, emphasized the danger to the health of the people which a milk strike would -entail. PUBLIC MUST COME FIRST, SAYS | ' SMITH. | “The bealth of tho public ts at stake,” be said, “especially the health of women, children and invalids. In- calculable harm would result from Stopping the milk York City, even for a day. settle these questions in @ way that does not entail euitering for the poor and helpless.” Referring to a phrase in Mr. Cash- | al's introduction, saying Gov, Smith was “a good Democrat,” the Gover- nor went on: “It is understood that I did not come before you this event in the role of a Democrat or in the role of @ Governor, [ want to emphatically state that I have come bere as a plain citizen, “I want to say that I know this city as well as any man in it.

FOLLY OF STRIKE SHOWN IN SUBWAY CASE, “If I've been accused of anything, T've been accused of leaning too much their way. However, there is uch a thing as absolute fairness which com mands the respect of all men; and, gentiomen, L came here to ask you men not to go out and strike. I came here first in the capacity of @ private citizen, and then as your Governor. “Now, men, it 1s absolutely neces- sary that wo have a distinct under- standing of our position.

Those things can never be estimated, “1 claim that there is no disorder— social, political or labor—so great that it cannot be settied. “Now, you mon can settle your troubles. “You have the ability and the Intelligence to do it—and in an orderly, peaceful manner, “IT can only say that if you follow |your leaders {'ll go with them, I'll |put all my strength into it to see that you get an absolutely fair, square deal, both personally and as Governor | of the State.” It was remarkable to see the effect the Governor's speech had in chang- ing the attitude of the crowd. Before his arrival, they had been wild for @ strike, When he entered, he had to push his way through the jam in the centre aisle, and ag he began to speak the men seemed to be merely | waiting out of courtesy for him to finish before they voted to strike. But as he went along, they gradually warmed up, broke into a cheer when he spoke of his labor platform, and applauded him wildly at the end. GOVERNOR DOESN'T WAIT FOR THE VOTE. The crowd opened a path for bim as he walked out, and kept up their applause until he left the building He did not wait for the vole to be taken, but seemed to sense the vic- tory that he had won. Within fifteen minutes after Mr. Smith had left, #he meeting had de- cided to accept the companies’ com- promise, and to call off the proposed strike. to continue the discussion about the strike, but Mr. Cashal, who was in the chair, sald there was a motior before the meeting to accept the fin Pile, caper ‘There were severa) attempts proposition offered by the New York Board, Which al- ready had been read, and asked those in faver to say “Aye.” Tt seemed as if everybody in the souse said “aye,” but a fow mo- ments later when Mr. hal called for “noes,” there was a considerable answer, which did not, however, ap- proach the sound of the ‘aye: Mr. Cashal then declared the motion car- ried. The crowd at once began to leave the hall, but it vas half an hour later before ali had departed. A group of radicals, numberin about thirty, remained to the end, and tried to approach Mr. Casha and other conservative leaders as they left the platform. Fearing vio- lence, thirty-three members of the Wage Committee, also on the plat form, constituted themselves a body guard, surrounding th leaders and escorting them out of the hall. The radicals made one or two attempts to rush the bodyguard, but were pushed away, Some of the dissatisfied ones re- mained tn the hal) to give voice to their complaints until the manage- ment finally turned out the lights. It was apparent, however, that the num- ber of malcontents then was com- paratively small Conservative leaders of the union were delighted at the outcome of the meeting, and were loud In their praise of Gov. Smith. Before the Governor arrived, they were faced with the proposition of going along with the tide for a strike or letting the radi- cals take control of the union. napmcenetiitieenae WAR FOOD SALES $1,000,000.
