SOvIETS TO BUY
MORE LIVESTOCK
FROM AMERICA
Seek Select Stock for
Breeding Purposes

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Feb. 19-The
Soviet government is contemplating
the extensive purchase of select stock
of cattle, sheep and hogs in the United
States during the months of May and
June.
The 5000 Ramboulliet sheep that
the Soviet government purchased in
America last fall have been success
fully acclimatized in Ukrainia, north
ern Caucasus and Siberia and have in
creased considerably in number.
Only eight sheep died in the voy-
age from America to the Soviet Union
while forty were born.
"The Siberian cold and the winds OF
the Caucasus increase the wool on
these American sheep" said Michels
Pereferkovitch, head of the live stock
division of the commissariat Of agri-
culture. He also headed the commits
sion of three that purchased the 5000
Rambouillets in America. 81 believe
we have developed the science OF
stock breeding to a higher degree than
they have in the United States. Hith-
erto we have purchased cattle and
hogs in England, but as the animals
were affected by the sea voyage, we
shall attempt to transport from the
United States this summer"
The commissariat Of agriculture has
made extensive purchases of Ameri-
can ineubators and woolshearing ma

BRAND FACES

on the Run
Especial to The Daily Worker

PARIS, France, Feb. 10. - Defeated
repeatedly and thwarted constantly in
all efforts to obtain funds with which
to endeavor to balance the badly sag
ging French budget, the government
of Premier BRAND still exists today for
the simple reason that the economic
condition of France is so bad that
all parties in the chamber of de-
putles, with the exception Of the Com
nunists, fear a change in cabinet.
They are. afraid political crisis
would only sharpen the general crisis
and all defenders of things as they
are fear the consequences. So, in
spite of their aversion to BRAND, the
members of the chamber gave him a
vote of confidence today, but only
after BRAND had INDUCED in threats
during an all-night session to appeal
to the senate if the chamber did not
sustain him.
The vote was asked after the
decisive defeat of the government
sales tax measure which had been
counted upon to yield 2,5O0,O00 900
francs needed urgently by the treas
ury.

The senate judiciary committee has

The vulnerable Coolidge senator,
Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, one of

and submitted a minority report in
which he holds that the senate has no
right to interfere with the business
of the department of justice.
Meanwhile, the regular republican
caucus has moved to stop investiga-

are so fragrant that they will never
stand investigation and Mellon is the

ANTHRACITE
OPERATORS TO
fight CHECKOFF
LewiS Runs Up Against
First Joker
Especial to The Daily workerl

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 1s-As the
miners return to the mines under the
Swear agreement the jokers contained
in that agreement are being brot out.
The operators have already opened
fire on the statement of John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers,
to the Tri-District convention that the
operators had agreed in principle to
the collection of union dues by the
company offices known as the check
off.
Bosses Against checkoff.
Following the speech by Lewis the
spokesman for the operators let it be
known that they were as much op-
posed to the checkoff as they had ever
been. They state that far from agree.
ing to the checkoff all they had
agreed to was to allow the union the
right to bring up the question for dis
cussion at the Cancellation board.
Lewis claims that in return for the
checkoff the miners had agreed to CO.
operate with the operators to increase
efficiency. He bases his claim on
clause four of the agreement which
says, "the demands of the operators
and miners on the question of coop
GRAFTON and efficiency are referred to
the board of conciliation, exclusive of
the umpire, which shall work out a
reciprocal program of cooperation and
efficiency"
"Means What It Says"
The operators definitely state that
the clause "only means what it says,
and reaftirm their opposition to grant
ing the checkoff. However, the op-
orators are waiting until the miners
get back to work before definitely re-
fusing to concede the checkoff.
The checkoff is one thing that the
Lewis administration wishes to Sc
cure as it gives them greater control
over the membership. But the OPP
orators are not giving anything away
without a struggle. Now that the
miners are back at work they think
they can refuse to grant the checkoff
without any fear of a strike. The
future holds a rough road for the
"5-year peace agreement" in the an
thracite fields.
