Artificial eenltatlon of Animals.

MOSCOW, (Tass) Feb. = Soviet
science is contributing much towards
the artificial genitation of animals.
Prof Ivanov, the noted Russian biolo-
gist, has carried out a series of expert
ments in the artificial genitation of do
nestle cattle, wild animals, pigs, rab-
bits, etc. Successful experiments
were made on foxes, which may prove
to be Of practical interest from the
standpoint Of fostering the breeding of
high-priced silver foxes and other rare
fur-bearing animals. Ivanov has also
carried out interesting experiments in
the cross-breeding of different kinds
of animals. This has been found pos
sible only among animals differing
only in secondary features. 1t was
impossible to obtain cross-breeds
among animals of distinctive different
kinds, such as rabbits and hares, or
mice and rats.

N'E:ISSMAN Shoe
GO. DRAoS union
before JUDGE
Charge Violation of
Strong's Injunction
BY J. o. BENTALL.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

BROOKLYN, ~ Y, Feb T. The
Weissman Shoe company that shout
ed there was no strike in its shop
at 81 Orange street again entered the
courts bringing Pascal P. Cosgrove,
organizer of the Shoe Workers Pro
tective Union, before Judge Haggarty
charged with the violation of the in
junction issued by Selah B. Strong
two weeks ago.
WeissmaD's attorney tried to show
that Cosgrove as leader and organ
izer was guilty of having disobeyed
the injunction which had forbade the
use of the word "strike" or the state
ment that there was a strike in the
Weissman shop.
It was hard for the workers to un-
derstand how this charge could be
made in view of the fact that the
pickets have carried signs reading:
Members of Shoeworkers' Protective
Union on Picket Line" The banner
used no word prohibited by the in
junction.
Joseph Brodsky. attorney for Co.'S
srove and the Protective, argued that
40 injunction had been violated, and
that the banner as carried was legal
and conservative, especially since
there is no strike in the shop in front
of which it is carried according to
both Weissman and Judge Strong. He
also brot out the rotten conditions in
the shop, which Judge Strong would
not let him do, and let Judge Hag-
gerty know that the shop was one
of the dirtiest and most unsanitary
in the industry, as well as badly ven
tilated and so short of chairs that
many Of the workers have to sit on
old boxes.
Weissman squealed like stuck pig
and whined that his business is inter-
ferred with and that he cannot get
enuf scabs to take the jobs of the
union men who went on strike, and
the scabs he has spoil his goods and
turn out but few.
The strike is in a very healthy
condition and the Weissman shop is
in very sick condition. The strik-
ers have made up their minds that
they will see the shop unionized be-
fore they go back.
Judge Haggarty has taken the mat
ter under advisement while the pick
cts carry the banner cheerfully in
front of the shop where the owner
says there is no strike.

FOR THE UNITY OF THE CITY AND LAND
AMERICAN FARMERS RECEIVE
NEGATIVE REWARD FOR WORK;
CONDITION BECOMES CHRONIC
BY LELAND oLDs, Federated Pres

BY LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.
Farmers don't get a reward for their
labor and a return on their capital
commensurate with the wages and
returns to capital and enterprise in
industry, says the U. S. department
Of agriculture in a statement urging
restrictions on the undue expansion
of farm areas. 1t draws attention to
the low incomes farmers are now
getting as follows:
After paying interest, rent taxes,
and money expenses, it is estimated
that the net cash income of american
farmers for the crop year 1Sz4-5 aver
aged only $50 plus an average con-
sumption of food from the farm valued
at 1886. This return represented
what farmer operators received in in
terest on an average investment of
S5,04S and as wages for the labor of
themselves and their families. An
allowance for the labor Of the farmer
and his family at average wages of
hired farm laborers besides what the
farm supplies to the family living
would leave no interest return what
ever on the farm operators capital
In fact the average farm family would
have lacked 1884 of having anything
to apply as interest on their capital
investment.
Calls Condition Chronic
These figures" says the depart
ment, ARE illustrative Of a condition
that is chronic in American agricul
ture." 1t sets up the principle that in
general new land should not be
brought into use until it will earn
return for capital invested in improve
ments and for labor, equivalent to the
returns to capital and labor in other
branches Of production.
Farmers in the United States re-
ceived $70S,00O.OOO less for their grain
crops in 1925 than in 1924, the depart
ment of agriculture estimates on the
basis of Dec. prices. It places the
gross value Of grain crops for 1925 at
$3,S1O,713,000 compared with $4,51S,
10000 in 1924, a reduction of more
than 15%5. Corn gave the farmers
$314.23S,OO0 less in 1925 than in 1924

1
ROME, Italy, Feb. desperate in
the face Of growing hatred against his
regime in Italy, Mussolini is trying to
crush the opposition by shaking his
fist at Germany. The pretext for the
latest outburst Of the fascist maniac
is the deep resentment felt by the in
habtants of German Tyrol at the des-
potic acts of the government.
In one of his customary bombastic
speeches, reeking with threats and
maledictions, the fascist murderer
worked himself into a frenzy and the
galleries crowded with hooligan fas-
cists cheered his vapid utterances to
the echo.
Opposition elements were prevented
from entering because the scene was
fcarefully prepared and the very scum
Of Italy assembled long before the
hour for the speech in order to crowd
the chamber and prevent others from
entering. Rome always knows when
the braggart is to address the cham
Der by the motley crew of the lowest
criminals that swarm the place. With
! the stage thus set the foreign news
paper correspondents are invited and
the Illusion of strong, newborn TIA
| ly, conscious of it's power is created.
This, however, is mere dumb show and
noise. Behind this scene turks the
threat of revolution, which is silenced
IN the chamber but very audible in the
! factories, mills and in all the indust-
rial centers of the nation.
In Terms of Eternity.
With his customary ranting Musso-
lini declared that the boundary under
discussion was created by the hand
of god and speaking in terms of eter-
nifty, he shrieked that Italy will never
change its policy in the Tyrol" The
excuse for this latest outburst was a
headline in a fascist paper stating that
Italy will never lower the flag on
Bremen" Taking this headline as
his text, the fascist despot said, "Ita-
| ly can, if necessary, carry the tri-co-
lor beyond the frontier, but will never
lower it,"
I He talked about the Germans In
dulging in senseless, laughable anti
Italian propaganda and asserted that
nothing would make an impression on
young, proud fascist Italy"
Afraid Of Opposition.
The internal situation in Italy is
such that the most fantastic efforts
are necessary in order TO keep up the
morale of even the fascists them
selves as everywhere there is evil
dence of widespread hatred of Musso-
lini Farinacci and the other fascist
chiefs, who by their insane policy
have alienated most of the elements
formerly supporting them. The mad
ness of the fascist, desperate to hold
power, may even lead him to a war,
which will be the signal for the Italian
masses with arms in their hands to
drown in blood the monstrous fascist
regime and proclaim the proletarian
revolution in Italy.

the miners worked, the operators

SHOW Up FAKE
FARMER PAPER

BY CARL HAEssLER.

Just as organized labor constantly
has to unmask and combat fake labor
papers, so the farmers ares finding II
necessary to direct publicity against
the publications that masquerade as
farm spokesman when they are in
reality subsidized by the livestock
dealers and others that bleed the farm
ers of his reward. Even President
Coolidge's big-business secretary of
agriculture feels constrained to con

Fake Farmer Paper In Chicago.
In Chicago the National Live Stock
Producers Assn. finds 1t imperative to
show up an alleged farm paper that
calls itself The County Agent and
Farm Bureau.
Tho neither the National Associa-
tion of County (Farm) Agents nor the
American Farm Bureau federation
have anything but condemnation and
reputation for this sheet it brazenly
goes on month by month to malign
and abuse farm cooperation and to
play the game of the intrenched non
cooperative livestock exchanges.
Its December issue editorially says,
"the politicians will have to find some
other bunk outside of cooperative
marketing to hand the farmers" It
is angry at the publicity given to the
impoverished farmers and whines that
corporations when they are hard UP
cannot afford to send out newspaper
stories about their precarious condi-
ton" 1t recommends good old hard
work" as the true salvation of the
farmer when, as it happens, too much
work resulting in a surplus of product
is ailing him now.

are supporting The County Agent and

asserts.
