Berlin, Thursday, October 6 (via London, October 6)--AU efforts compose the differences between Chi cellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and bis nents in the Reichstag, which been in progress since adjourn-was taken after the Chancel-speech, apparently have accom plished little. The Chancellor's posi tion, however, appears to be unshaken. and such information as Is obtainable indicates that the campaign for re- ot submarine activity on the old basis has met with no sue.

Diflon Says Farmers Won't Yield and Distributors Are Obdurate.

DYKMAN HEARING ON Then Adjof led to Tuesday. Borden's Circulating Word I of Agreeing? The big milk distributing companies of the city and the farmers were still deadlocked today on the qeustion of the period for which the contracts for the supply of milk at the prices demanded by the farmers, through the Dairymen' League, will be in effect. The milk dealers lusist that they will make no contracts for longer than one month, In which time the State can determine whether the prices demanded by the farmers are Just. The farmers declare that they will make contracts for not less than six months. Nothing toward a settlement of the milk crisis was accomplished today, although there were intimations that the milk distributors were ready to capitulate further to the farmers and make contracts for three months, instead of one.

These were only Intimations, however, and the farmers, through Commissioner John J. Dillon, asserted that the distributors must make an unconditional surrender, as they would under no circumstances modify their demands as to prices and Colonel William N. Dykman held the first hearing today in the investigation, instituted by Attbrney General E. E. Woodbury, to determine whether there have been any illegal conspiracies In restraint of trade by either side In the present controversy.

Little progress was made, as Merton Lewis, the deputy attorney general in charge of the case, was unprepared to proceed with the examination of witnesses. At his request, despite the protests of counsel for the milk companies, the hearing was adjourned, after two witnesses were examined, until Tuesday morning. No Compromise by Farmers on Prices or Term of Contract, Says Dillon. Commissioner Dillon said there would be no compromise by farmers on prices or terms. The Dairymen's League had received 7,000 quarts of milk for city delivery today, he said, and the farmers were anxious to supply the town.

If the cans and pasteurizing plants were in their hands the city could be supplied tomorrow with all the milk necessary, the Commissi, declared. H. X. Hallock, vice president of the Borden company, said his concern had received between 40 and 45 per cent, of its usual supply. He could not say how much of the milk was from old territory and how much from new.

Commissioner Dillon discounted the Borden statement as to the supplies received, saying he was certain the company had not received so much milk from New York territory, but had got it from outside sources from men who had been heretofore using milk for the making of butter and Commissioner Dillon said he had information that Borden agents had been going among the farmers with the story that the Borden company had met the league's prices. Inquiries from farmers, he said, had been received to this effect, and such inquirers had been told that Borden's was not meeting the prices. His estimate was that the companies were receiving between 25 and 30 per cent, of their usual supplies. 38 Per Cent, of Normal Supply Received Today. L.

P. Brown, director of the Bureau of Food and Drugs of the Department of Health, said today that 38 per cent, of the normal milk supply had been received in the city up to noon. He said that 150,000 quarts had been received from new sources, such as the territories which supply Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other cities which have Board of Health regulations In regard to milk. The milk from these districts arrived here "raw," but it will be pasteurized. Cheese Maker Says He Was Ordered To Buy More Milk.

Frank M. Alleva. a manufacturer of Italian cheese, was the only witness today to offer any concrete evidence tending to show that the Dairymen's League was controlling the sale of milk by farmers in this State, at the hearing before Colonel Dykman, in the Attorney General's Office. 293 Broadway. Alleva office Is at 190 Grand street, and his factory is at Slate's Hill.

Orange County. N. Y. He testified that the farmers from whom he had been buying milk for his factory refused to deal with- him, and referred him to the Dairymen's League, here in New York. He said he wanted only fifteen cans of milk a day.

which was a smaller quantity than he had been buying. After several communications and conferences with Commissioner Dillon and a Mr. Manning 01 me uairymensj League, he said, he received a letter from Manning which was offered In evidence, unci winch stated: "We regret that we cannot contract with you fur less milk than you have been buying. If you will contract to purchase nil the milk produced by the i ing milk, we shall ho pleased to do business with you." This letter was received, he said, after he had told Commissioner Dillon he was ready to buj milk from the league at any price the league demanded. "They wanted me to sign a contract for all the milk they wanted to sell me," he said, "and when I refused to sign such a contract they told me they Would not sell mc the amount I Want Horton.
