Bamuel Untermyer to-day replied to Mayor Hylan's attack on him in his speeches last evening, in the fol- feowing statement: “For a long time during this cam. paign, I refrained from taking sides im the Mayoralty contest and confined myself to the support of Senato Leckwood, in whose euccess I am deeply mterested because of the pow erful financia) and other malign in- terests that are arrayed against him of the meter, which was industriously registering at the rate of from $100 to $200 @ month, month in and out, whether I was living in the city or in Fiorlda, Europe and elsewhere, re- gardless of whe:her the house was open or closed, occupied or unoceu- pled.

When Mr. Shonts went on the witness stand and pub- licly gave sworn testimony as to his dealings with the Mayor concerning a seven-cent fare the Mayor discreetly held his peace. He diid not dare deny the testimony. It was only long after in straw paper that occurred thirty- one years ago and was the subjoct of litigation. If he will look in the records of the Congressional Commit- tee on Banking and Currency and in a number of other public archives he will find the explanations there fully set forth. That canard has been dead and buried for a quarter of a century “It the Mayor has any other ques- TO THE PUBLIC: , THE FUNDAMENTALS To continue in the sale of this serv- ice, we must enjoy public confidence ana good-will. ’ To merit these we must at all times, and particularly at this time, be able to show clean hands, clear heads and a proper appreciation of our respon- sibilities and duties to the public. In the light of the foregoing we present the facts as to the points at issue in the present milk strike, in order that the public may be in a position to pass judgment. During the last year milk drivers have been paid $35.00 plus 2% of their collections for six days’ work. While some have earned much more—in some cases as high as $65.00 per week—the average earning has been $42.00 per week or $7.17 per day. . This wage is the maximum paid during the war period and by agree- ment with the Union. _ When considering a new contract for the year beginning November Ist, 1921, the employers believed it but fair, in view of reduced living ex- penses, to reduce the wages by ten to fifteen per cent., dependent upon classification. The Union, however, demanded $5.00 more per week of six days with twé weeks’ vacation at full pay. RIBBON DENTAL CREAM Large.

November Colum. At this stage we suggested arbitra- tion, which was refused by the Union. The matter was negotiated for weeks, and during the latter part of the period the conference included representatives of the U. S. Depart- ment of Labor. The United States Government is, therefore, in position to know all of the facts as here stated, and, as well, the spirit and attitude of all who participated in the many conferences. The Union representatives being unyielding and in an effort to avoid an interruption of service, we offered to renew the present maximum war condition contract, both as to wages and working conditions, for another year from November Ist, 1921. This the Union flatly refused and a walk-out followed. In'addition to this refusal, the Union spokesman stated that should they be granted their maxiraum de- mands, it would satisfy them but = bla and Cortina Foreign Language Records on Saye Columbia Graton.

This service is now interrupted as a result of a strike of milk drivers and affiliated workers. | we were informed that the Union Leader would advise our Purchasing Agent where to secure such supplies. It is thus readily seen that an in- tolerable situation has developed. How can red-blooded Americans do other than fight such a situation? Such conditions cannot, in fairness to the body politic, be arbitrated. To temporize with the present sit- uation is but to invite a later vut- break. Such an issue must be settled some time. We know of no better time than the present. The question now is, what are we ’ going to do and what is the public to do? We are making “very endeavor to fill the positions left vacant by the strikers with men who are disposed tu work in a fair and co-operative manner. Many of our men have asked for rein- statement with assurance that they can continue as Borden men. Such men are welcome to our ranks as employees of individual standing. These requests for reinstatement are further evidence of the fact that many of the employees are not in sympathy with these high-handed tactics but feel forced to bow to the will of their ill-advised leaders. We are making every effort to recruit our forces, but until this-is accomplished we cannot attempt home deliveries, Hospitals are now being and will con- tinue to be served at all costs. In the meantime, we are getting, and will continue to get, milk to our city branches and pasteurizing stations. We are making increasing deliveries to grocery and delicatessen stores, Until we can resume home deliveries, we must ask consumers to call at these points with bottles or their own’ contain- ers and their needs will be supplied. We deeply regret the annoyance and inconvenience thus caused the public. We believe, however, that we are wag- ing a righteous war, in which the public, as well as ourselves, has a vital interest, Not only are DOLLARS at stake, but PRINCIPLES. . Not only OUR dollars, but YOUR dol- lars. Not only OUR principles, but YOUR priaciples. This is one of many battles between democracy and a vicious autocracy now being waged in the interests of the com- mon good. Experienced corporate management, al- ways answerable to law and public opin- iun will, we believe, serve you better and longer than Soviet rule. You have read of conspiracy; the only conspiracy we know of we have related above. We have no desire to inflame the public mind, bu. public opinion being controlling, it is necessary to inform the public if its intelligent opinion is to be had. BORDEN’S FARM PRODUCTS COMPANY, Inc.
