This City News Bureau has pneumatic tubes running to the Ass^- fintod Press, which handles the out" of town newspapers thru telegraph and the six Chicago newspapers, f Each item is duplicated seven times by this News Bureau and within aYi few minutes of its receipts at their office the sheet of news is shot thru these tubes to the city editor's desk of the various newspapers. Chicago Newspapers Very Fair I estimate we had $12,000 to $20,000 worth of space in the Chicago newspapers, at regular advertising rates, which of course, if used th^£ way, would never have the effect the newspapers accomplished. Our cause as it became known and develpped was "news." The reporters who were regularly assigned to this "strike" from the beginning were Intensely interested in it. They sought to be perfectly fair and get all the news. I never kept anything from them. Our side had nothing to conceal. Truth was our best weapon, it always is. Before the battle started the Chicago dealers knew trouble would come, were glad it did and were prepared for it. Within twenty-four hours reports from inside told of the greatest amount of milk on hand they over had. The weather was perfect to store milk and it was in every available inch in their plaftts, sheds and irarages. Arrangements had been made by dealers with Condensing companies, cheese and creameries outside of the regular health milk zone of Chicago to supply milk. Two weetfs after the "strike" began, 85 per cent of the milk coming into Chicago was coming from these outside plants. . Brother Against Brother Our brother milk producer outside of Chicago health milk zone was the sole cause of our not winning 100 per cent in our fair price campaign. Milk poured in from within the territory bounded by Fond du Lac, Wis., Detroit, Mich.,. Cleveland and Cedar Rapids. The milk producers in these sections had sold their milk on i lower basis because not intended for ! bottling purposes and the owners of | these plants were the only ones who made any money out of the deal. They pitted brother producer against i brother producer and the farm journals are a unit in their disapproval. Every bam in our zone is examined by the Chicago health board and a card system carries a report on eafch. We have .been ordered and justly so what we should do to make our milk safe for Chicago. We have expended millions • to make the changes ordered. Our expense and loyalty were met by milk from sec tions where the Chicago inspectors never saw the inside--or outside--- of the barns from where it came. Milk pasteurized in a sanitary plant was good enough for Chicago for fifteen days--for twenty-five years previous it was not .good enough unless each barn was right and the plant that handled the milk therefrom was also right. The Chicago health department was caught as unaware asr was our. own organization." Up to 6:00 p. m. Dec 31 the producers thought the dealers would agree to their price--the dealer knew better, he knew- it two weeks before. He had bought his future needs in many cases. He wanted to "bust" the producers' organization The health department was not pre pared to immediately send inspectors within ar-^radius of 300 miles of Chi cago and watch all railways and high ways. The department became or ganized as quickly as it could "and earnestly endeavored to stop milk ex cept that which came thru approved plants, i. e., those which had been in spected by it for equipment and san itary care. "Break the Organization" When reports came trickling thru of why the fight was being made--to break our organization--w# realized money must be had. Within a few hours enough money had been con tributed to pay the expenses of this campaign without taking a cent from the regular association funds. I wish I could mention the names of those who contributed, but this is denied me by some and in this case it is better to mention none. Information will be given out at the annual meeting of the association at the Hotel La Salle i on Monday, Feb. 4, as to who the ; doners were-r-the life savers of this i fight. ~ " - > [ Radio Broadcasting Used j Radio Was used to broadcast three i times each day the progress of the battle, arrangements having been made with station WTAS Elgin and this was used With remarkably sue jcessful results. j The price for the period following j April 1 will not be left for settle Iment until the last hour on the last I day as heretofore. Hereafter a com pletely organized association wilbmeet | a completely organized committee ' and unless a settlement can be reached ja battle will be waged in which we will enlist not only our brother farm ;ers everywhere, but great business organizations, clubs, civic societies as well as the Chicago consumer who was with us 99 per cent in our r^ent struggle. "Bootlegging" in Milk If there had been as much whiskey "bootlegged* into Chicago durii;j» 'the fifteen days of our "strike" Chicago would go on a "jagVttll after next New Years eve. / bought by us on Chicago streets in the last ten days of the "strike" one onely little bottle from Lake Villa, i 111., plant alone showed a cream line, j Train loads of "bootleg" milk came j FOR? from uninspected plants.

How Milk "Bootleggers" Worked How could the health department detect, for instance, the following: Milk was carted to Mineral Point, Wis., and then sent to Janesville and reshipped to Chicago--or At another Wisconsin plant not approved, milk was sent across the i country forty miles to -another railway by truck to allay suspicion, or Another plant , shipped milk two stations north of their location on the same railroad lijie artd it came ri^ht 4 ack past th<\ir own factbry, or How cou. "ey detect that cream, abelled "skim milk" butter factory eastern Iowa point was to be usee by Chicago dealers in making fresh1 milk. Our scouts sent from headquarters discovered these and similar "bootlegging" cases. This was lit»w warfare to us. , The mission of the Milk Producers' t ssociation has always been a 'peaceful one. It has never had more money than to barely cover its exjenses and sometimes not that. We could not, therefore, pay railroad fare, service charges, detectives and others rom a non-existent fund. Night and Day Vigilance President Frank T. Holt, Secretary E. C. Rockwell and myself were in constant attendance at headquarters day and night. Members of the milk board, of which there are eight aside from President Holt, came in, took their turn and then went on their way to the field, organizing and carrying on some special mission work. For eight days prior, to the end we averaged four and one-half hours' sleep each night. As the intensity of the campaign increased and outside organization, both public and secret, became necessary, more men were needed at head- ^uarters and when the end came five telephones were constantly in use. Telephoned reports came from detectives and scouts all night long. The mental strain became so great that these not at headquarters to see what was doing could not appreciate the fever pitch of battle. We were compelled to appoint some members to take those reports from 1:00 a. m. to 6:00 a. m. so that some unbroken sleep could be had. We Know Their Game Much of this battle cannot be written because it would not be wisdom to advise the Chicago dealers how much we have learned of their tactics. We i>ow know what we have to combat. The Chicago high cost of living committee was with us, stating publicly that the dealers could well afford to pay the price asked by, the producers and sell at 13c per quart instead of 14c and still make 21 per cent profit. Public sentiment was with us nearly 100 per cent. Every milk .producer should join our association. Every bank, • merchant, real estate man and others up^ on* whom, a share of the farmers* prosperity will fall should contribute something to our "Pair Price Cam? paign" fund. War has already been (tarted by the Chicago dealers. Send checks at once to Milk Producers' Association, 9 South Clinton St., Chica* go, marked for "?air Price Campaign Fund." We will never do anything to destroy the faith the public has shown in our methods of enforcing our just claim. We'are not seeking war--just pre paring for it. Right will prevail.
