Bwitzerland 18 viewing with grow
ing concern the movement to unite
Germany and German-Austria, ac
cording to information recelved here
from Berme today. The effect of
such a confederation would leave
Switzerland the only country with
a German-speaking population not
forming a part of the German fam
ily. Fears arec expressed by some
Swiss statesmen that the eventual
result would be the breaking up of
the Swiss confederation,
(About one-half of the Swiss speak
the German language, most of the
others speak French.)
The Austrian proposal to make
Voralburg part of Switzerland has
been received at Berne with mixed
feelings. The effect of this annexa
tion would be to give the German
speaking part of the Swiss population
4 preponderance over the section In
which French and Itallan are spoken.
These proposals, as well ag the sug
gestion to make Tyrol an independent
#tate, have not vet been taken up by
the peace conferenc, nor has official
opgon on It yet taken definite shape.
e delegates, however, are pre
pared to grapple with all Austrian ter
ritorial problems as soon as the pre-
Hminary terms for Germany age out

As a result of the fallure of the
ordinande committee of City Counell
to act favorably on the ordinance
ereating a board of milk control, it is
claimed, certain milk retailers who
were at first taken aback by the gen
eral avalanche of protest against high |
prices of milk in Atlanta and reduced
to 20 cents a quart, are attempting to
ralse the price back to 26 cents,
This report was telephoned to The
Georgian Friday from a number of
sources, indicating that an organized
effort Is on foot to restore the retall
price to 26 cents and 30 cents a quart,
Representatives of the retallers are
reported to have canvassed the city in
an effort to secure signatures from
consumers to an agreement to stand
by them in a raise in the price of
milk, but reports indicated that little
success attended their efforts.
The general expression given by the
numerous housewlves to The Geor
glan was to the effect that they
wopld be willing to pay the increased
price If it was shown to be necessary
after a thorough investigation by the
board of milk control, as suggested
by Mayor Key, but they were of the
opinion that the milk dealers were
willfully keeping their own case out
of court by opposfng the formation of
#such a board, and that this was an
indication of thelr unwiliingness to
have the real facts about the milk
situation come out
Others Indorse Law.
Following a general discussion of
the proposed Board of Milk Control
by Mayor Key, Mrs, A. McD, Wilson,
president of the City Federation of
Women's Clubs; Charles B, Gramling,
president of the Atlanta Federation
of Trades; C. K. Robertson, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and various
representatives of the milk producers
and retailers at a meeting in the
‘Chamber of Commerce Friday, the
conclusion was reached by the ex
clugive producers and the consumers
that the measure would be fair to all
concerned and was the only real and
effective method of solving the tan
gled milk problem of Atlanta.
Lewig May, vice president of the
Belmont Farms, expressed the view
that the irouble with the milk in
dustry In Atlanta was that there was
no organization in distribtution, and
that only by evolvipg a really com
mon-sense method' of distribution
could prices be brought to a reason
able level. He said that he would
favor a board or commission which
\would try to remedy this fault,
‘ Many Favor Plan,
About 25 producers were represent -
ed at the meeting and about 30 re
tallers. The producers almost with
out exception expressed themselves
as heartily favoring the proposed
Board of Milk Control after they had
heard a full exposition of the aims of
the board, as outlined by Mayor Key
and other speakers, but the retailers
maintained thelr strong opposition
‘which they have all along manifested
toward any proposition that would
place any person, other tgm milk
men, in control of the board.
l Muayor Key declared that there was
nothing In the ordinance in question
that could be construed as inimicable
to the producing dairymen and that
he would countenance no law that
would impose undue hardship on that
element. He also asserted that he
would fight any Pmpo-al to deny to
the retailer s fair share of profit
for his part”in the distribution of
milk. He declared hig champlonship
of the board arose from his conviction
that only through the establishment
of such a body could the producer,
retafler and consumer all he guar
anteed a square deal. 'The Producor.
he said, is sorely in need o protec
tion now from retailers who attempt
to beat down prices to them, while
charging heavier prices to the con
sumer. At this point the Mayor re
celved hearty applause from the pro
ducers and consumers.
Will Support It.
From the general tone of the meet-
Ing, it appeared evident that the ma
jority-—the consumer and producer-—
favored the Board of Milk Countrol
and would fight for its establishment
by City Council. The retailers, how
ever, declared their intention of fight
ing every semblance of regulation,
nl“rmlnx the right to do business as
they saw fit, charge suth prices as
to them appeared reasonable, con
ducting their own business in their
own way,
Replying to the latter pesition, as
stated by some retailers, Mayor Rey
reminded his hearers that the City of
Atlanta has the right to regulate the
milk Industry as it sees fit through
its power to issue or withhold per
mits to do business, He declared
there was no law and could be no law
enacted which would n'omrel people
to remain in that business {f they did‘
‘not desire to do so, and added that
hmrmms Or corporations who refused
to deal fairly with the public should,
lwh»ro possible, be prevented from
Limposing on the public. j
| No Antagonism,
| Mrs, Newton O, Wing, chairman of
the milk Investigation committee of
the City Federation of Women's
| Clubs, made a statement for her com
mittee in which she contended that
(ho fight was being made on anyone
sand that her committee was backing
{the Mayor's suggestion for a Board
of Milk Control only in order to get
a fixed official tribunal brought into
texistence. Such a body, she de
lelared, would be enabled through its
loontinued existence, to being out all
{the real facts in the milk_situation,
| consider and debate the varlous rem-s
Imlu-u which might be proposed, study
lllln solution effected in other citles
and make recommendations to Coun
's'fl accordingly.
In an effort to bolster up the exist
'h\u ordinance which regulates, to
{some extent, the milk industry in At.
lanti—the production end--the Board
lnr Health Friday prepared a number
{of amendments for introduction be
fore City Council, dealing principally
I with protection of the public trom

Producers for Measure, ‘
A number of milk producers who
attended the meeting came to Mrs,

plained to her that they had been
embarrassed by the presence of the!
large number of retailers and for that
reason feared to express themselves
openly. They told her that the pro

fix. They expressed themselves as
being heartily in favor of the board
of milk control, Mrs. Wing sald, as
being the only means of protecting
the producer and consumer as well,
insuring a plentiful supply of milk at
fair prices to all concerned ‘
The producers told Mrs., Wing that
they had been led into opposing the
plan by retailers who told them that
the price to the producer would hu\'!j

of the board, but that after learning

Just begun. |

by Attorneys Rosser, Slaton, Phillips |
& Hopkins: C. T, L, C, & J. L. Hop-|
kins: Brewster, Howell & Heyman; |
King & Spalding: Colquitt & Con
yers, The Railroad Commission was
repregented by Judge J. K. Hines, the
city of Atlanta by Reuben R. Arnold
and C. E. Cotterill, and College Park
by A. Z. Broom and J. M. Watkins.
Curious Situation. ;
In ‘ease the increased fare is or
dered and put into effect, Atlanta pa
trons will be in the peculiar situation
of paying 6 cents for a short ride and
& cents for a long one, for the Su
preme Court held that contracts
maintaining a b5-cent fare do exist
between the company the City of
College Park and between the com
pany and the city of Decatur. [t
might be that a passenger on an in
terurban car might be required to
pay 6 cents to ride to Fort McPher
son or Kast Point, while passengers
on the same car, going several miles
farther to College Park, could ride
for § cents. 5
Preston S. Arkwright, president of
the company, Saturday was reluc
tant to make any statement on the
situation, beyond saying he was
pleased at the court’s decision, which
had been expected by the company.
“Courts wusually are right when
cases are tried on their merits,” he
said. “The decision was to be ex
pected.”
Costs Are Higher. ‘
Asked if he believed war-time con
ditions still exist, Mr, Arkwright said
the petition of the cOmpany had been
based on “conditions growing out of
the war,” and that these conditions
had by no means improved.
’ “I believe costs are higher than
they were during actual war times,”
he sald.
‘ Mr. Arkwright said he deemed it
'natural to expect the Railroad Com
‘mission, which had recommended an
}advan(‘ed fare, would issue an order
putting it into effect. There was no
“next step” contemplated by the
company, he said. As to action by
the city, he believed the matter was,
under the court decision, outside the
Jurisdiction of the city and in the
hands of the Railroad Commission
alone,
Whatever steps may be taken, it is
unlikely there will be any change in
car fares for some time. The de
cision of the Supreme Court must
follow a slow and devious process
before it officiaily reaches the Rail
road Commission, and that body
would naturally give due considera
tion to the matter before finally pass
ing upon it.
It is considered probable, in case
the 6-cent fare actually takes effect,
that books of tickets will be sold by
the company to save the passengers
and conductors the trouble of han
dling odd cen's in change.

THE WATCHWORD OF EVERY
NATION.
And likewise this golden rule should
apply to the heads of every home— |
such are therdeclarations of Dr.|
Burkhart, who for 30 years has been
pleading this doctrine of defense to
every man and woman to build up a
wall of defense to guard against the
ravages of disease.
Timely, indeed, and more earnestly
at this writing are: Dr. Burkhart's
pleadings on account of the dread Flu
Malady which has attacked and is
cutting down our population by the
hundreds of thousands. Ward against
this Flu monster, the worst foe of
mankind, by taking at least a 30-day
treatment of Dr. Burkhart’s Vegeta
‘ble Compound, which can be procured
at all druggists’ for the mere pittance
of 25¢.
If you are so unfortunate to have
an attack, by all means take a treat
ment to build up the system after the
fever has subsided.
Dr. Burkhart has certainly proven
himself a benefactor to ail humanity,
and his famous Vegetable Compound
30-day treatment for 25c the world
over has gained for him a reputation
that will be a ménument to his mem
ory for generations to come,—Adv.

Use Soothing Musterole
When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub alittle
Musterole on your temples and neck.
It draws out the inflammation, soothes
away the pain,usually givingquick relief,
Musterole is a clean, white ointment, ]
made with oil of mustard. Better than
a mustard plaster and does not blister,
Many doctors and nurses frankly
recommend Musterole for sore throat,
bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma,
neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rheuma
tism, lumbago, pains and aches of the
back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet—colds
of the chest (it often dprevent:i pneu
monia). It is always dependable,
