C. T. A. Report for Mar.

Sixty-two cows qualified for the forty
pound class during March. The high COW
is owned by Albert Brinkman, and is the
same one which headed the association for
February. During March she produced 1920
lbs. milk containing ITO lbs. butterfat
The three high two-year- olds are also
owned by Mr.. Brinkman and all three
were in the forty pound class. Mr.. Brink
mans herd of IL milking cows headed the
high herd list with an average production
of 452 lbs. butterfat. A grade Jersey owned
by Carl ]. Alt deserves special mention,
producing 655 lbs. butterfat milking from
only two quarters
Most members are very short on hay and
the pasture season cannot come too soon.
Quite number of silos will have suffi-
cient silage left over for late summer
feeding when pastures are short
Quite number of members are making
nrenarations for sowing alfalfa this spring.
This will help very materially in solving
future feeding problems.

by selling great volume at a small in

to succeed and to give the public ex-
ceptional values
The ]. C. Penney Company is one
of the great chain stores which have
succeeded in providing the public with
goods of merit at reasonable prices.
And that the company is gaining the
volume of the trade one need only
examine their recent report Accord
ing to this report for the first four
months this year the company sales
amounted to s1T,SS2,342. This repre-
sents a gain of s3,415, 900 over the
same period last year. The ]. c. Pen
ney Company is rapidly taking its
place at the head of the great chain
store companies, and they are doing
it upon the only sound basis it can be
done, Of merchandising a greater vol
ume of goods OF unquestioned merit
at prices that attract trade, and to
hold that trade by a service that wins
the loyalty Of their customers. This
is the only formula of success, and the

applied it with unusual effect as their

Railroads to Repeat
Propaganda Campaign,
Executives Proclaim

BY International Labor News Service.
New York.-Frank and defiant
avowal that the costly propaganda
drive against changes in present rail
road laws will be vigorously continu-
ued is made by railroad executives
and their organs. The railroad exec
utives believe that their propaganda
campaign, which they unblushingly
call campaign of education," was
responsible for the failure of congress
to pass the Howell Barkley railroad
labor bill, and they are resolved to
keep up their drive to influence public
opinion.
Present temper of the railroad ex-
ecutives is revealed by the New York
Times, which says:
Railroad officials say that the
campaign in favor of letting the rail
roads alone will be continued through
the next session of congress. They
maintain that the success of this pol
icy at the recent session of congress
more than justifes its continuance at
the coming session.
Few railroad executives are sat
isfied with the present laws, but it is
pointed out that they are better than
for many years past The railroad
men fear that changes, if any are
made, would be unfavorable to rail
road operation Officials assert that
in the last three years the railroads
have plainly demonstrated their abil-
ity to operate successfully under the
present laws"
Even franker avowal of the
plans of the railroad executives is
made by The Traffic World, an organ
of the carriers, which boasts of the
success of the propaganda campaign,
saying:
THE campaign for hands off the
transportation act begun months ago
when a concerted drive was started
to create public opinion favorable to
drastic changes in the act, has justi-
fed itself. 1t has been successful SO
far as the long session of the sixty
eighth congress is concerned
"The question of changes in Section
l5-A for the labor provisions of the
act will be again before the short
session beginning next December, but

New York City.-Labor friends of
Major George L. Berry assembled
here at the opening of the national
democratic convention, feel sure
Major Berry will win the vice presi-
Dental nomination by unanimous
vote.
Not only trade union friends, but
supporters, friends and associates
outside the labor ranks, are here to
help secure the nomination for the
president of the International Print
ing Pressmen and Assistants Union.
One striking fact in connection
with the campaign to nominate Major
Berry is the presence in this conven-
tion of more than fifty members of
trade unions, coming from all parts
of the country. 1t is doubtful if so
many trade unionists ever sat in a
major party political convention be-
fore.
The state delegations pledged to
Major Berry, together with the strong
testimonials of support received from
leading trade unionists and others
throughout the country furnish an i'm

Major Berry point out that no other
candidate for any office comes to the
convention with as much visible and
pledged support and friendship.

In the New York World, June is, 1924
What is the position of the Minute
Men? The supreme court of the
United States has held that the rights
of collective bargaining, or for indi-
viduals to bargain with their employ
er for closed shop, is one of the in
alienable rights under the constitu-
tion. Therefore the Minute Men have
put an open shop plank into their
platform which is designed to be
forced upon political parties and to
crystallize into laws that would be
strong for constitutional justice, just
as the lawless labor leader does when
he orders American citizens killed or
assaulted when they go peaceably to
work
"The labor leaders are talking about
the Minute Men as being opposed to
labor. They are not opposed to labor
organizations. They are fighting be-
side the union labor man who is TAX
ing his life in his hands and fighting
to keep his organization out of the
hands of revolutionists and radicals
"We had not more than started the
Minute Men organization before Vic
tor Olander, secretary of the Illinois
Federation of Labor, attacked us in
one of those familiar clouds of dem
agogic smoke. 1t was a fair sample
of the stuff and clap-trap that has in
timidated cowardly politicians of both
parties.
'The Minute Men challenge the
right of the labor demagogue to speak
for the patriotic citizen that belongs
to his organization. John HI. Walker,
president of the Illinois Federation of
Labor, talks about labor and the clap
trap about injunction. 1t is feared by
Sam Gompers, John HI. Walker and
Victor Olander as an encroachment
on the liberty of the American people.
1t is not liberty encroachment they
fear. 1t is the fear of encroachment
on their privilege to assault and kill
American citizens.
