Stock Notes
BY G.. NJ. Hatch

Up in New Vineyard there is fine
little Jersey herd the property of
DIR. A. P. Mills that should in time
make its mark in production and also
in the show ring unless l have made
an incorrect estimate.
DIR. Mills, a native of New York
state, member of the dental pro-
fession, was in the world war but is
now devoting his attention to the
farm and with the hope that his
only son, James, will grow up good
strong enthusiastic Jersey man.
Just at present he has grade Jer-
seys and Maine State Jerseys. but
the real cream of the herd are two
heifers or young cows, the youngest
is now, l believe, with he~ second
calf and she is to my mind the
choicest one though selected by DR..
Mills when but a few days old
Both these, which are of Jersey
Cattle Club registration, were bred
by c. E.. & A. J. Luce of Farming
ton and the younger. l believe,
would not be turned down in quite a
strong class. She has finely
shaped udder, good top line and
nice in curving horns.
There is also nice heifer calf or
near yearling, out of the older Luce
heifer that was third in the Boys
and Girls Calf Club last fall at the
Franklin Co. Fair in competition
with heifers in milk.
A bull bred in the herd of the
Messers. Luce was used for a couple
of years in the herd with good re-
suits and there is now in use the
young bull, Rustic's Rochelle
Raleigh that is a full brother to
Rustic's Rochelle Lad, grand cham
pion Jersey bull at both Bangor and
Waterville this year, though himself
but yearling.
There is also young bull calf
out of the younger Luce heifer. that
is regarded as the best shaped
animal yet raised or perhaps bred
on the Mills farm and he will be
grown up with the idea of showing
him at some of the fairs.
DR.. Mills has nice little start in
Jerseys and will ultimately have all
of Cattle Club stock and we are
going to prophesy that in due time
the descendants OF the younger, Luce
leifer will supplant the others now
there but Of course that is only a
guess.

Milking Cows On Test

Not many of the high records
made by dairy cows have been made
on two milkings a day. The Dutch
Belted breeders boast that all
records for that breed have been
made on two milkings. The highest
fat record is 531 pounds and the
highest milk record is 1927 pounds.

U. S. Won't Relinquish
Claims on Germany, Is
Statement of Coolidge

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s-Germany
will be forced to pay all OF the Ameri.
can claims upon her, and there is
nothing in the Paris agreement that
caused the United States to relinquish
or tighten those claims, President Coo
lidge advises the senate. Coolidge's
statement was made in response to a
resolution by Senator King asking the
state department for the provisions OF
the Paris agreement and how 1t affects
American claims.
Coolidge said that the United States
agreed to accept annual installments
OF $11,000,000 for American nationals
claims and s12,000,OOo for occupation
OF Germany by American troops, but
this in no way releases Germany from
complete payment.
He also declared that the govern
ment would not underwrite claims OF
American nationals on Germany.

EARLY Returns
OF Miners Vote
ALL FOR BROpHY
Lewis Reports Prepare
for Election Steal

SPRINGFIELD, lII.--John L. Lewis
Is worried about this election in the
miners union. For three days after
election day (ast Tuesday, the inter-
national president Of. the United Mine
Workers of America hung around the
C. G A. depot at train time in the
morning, anxlousiy assuring miners
going out to work that he had won.
"Brophy was beat in his own dis
trict," said Lewis in these impromptu,
post-election speeches. cI have won
the anthracite solid, and l am re-
elected"
The reports issued from interna-
tional headquarters in indianapolis to
the press, and the reports emanating
from the district office in Springfield
are all to the same effect. There is a
tendency to hand out special informa-
ton to the anthracite that District -
is for Lewis, and to inform District y
(Illinois) that the anthracite (Pennsyl-
vania) is for Lewis. No one in Dis
trict IL dares to say that District IL
lis for Lewis. But general and sweep
ing claims Of widespread Lewis
enthusiasm, locality vaguely indicated
are filling the papers. Along with this
goes statement that official returns
may be delayed for weeks or months
Preparing to Fake Vote.
Miners recognize this as the pre-
liminary to colossal election STEAL
to be put across by failing to count
the ballots until after the convention
has adjourned, and then issuing a
mere statement that Lewis has been
elected by such and such majority,
no returns by locals being printed.
The constitution provides for the re-
turns by locals to be sent to all To-
Gals by January 10, but Lewis ig-
nored this provision when he stole
the election from Voyzey two years
ago.
The returns by locals are being col
lected as rapidly as possible and will
be printed in The DAILY WORKER,
and in The Coal Miner, the "Save the
Union" paper in this city. They do
not support Lewis claims.
A telegram from zeigler, ILL.,, from
the Save the Union" committee there,
states that two zeigler locals gave
Brophy 1,206 votes and Lewis but Asa.
The average of all locals there showed
votes about three t. one against
Lewis. They also showed Joe Tumulty,
the progressive candidate for presi-
dent of District IL, carrying by a good
majority in all locals. These reports
are typical Of all received so far, ex-
cept in isolated cases where the vote
was stolen by local teIlers.

Miners OPPOSE
MOVE FOR COAL
CONTROL LAWS
Bound to Be Against the
Workers, Is VieuU

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Van !.
Pittner, leader Of the union miners Of
northern West Virginia, has notified
Secretary of Labor Davis that the min
ers are opposed to any coal reguia-
ton. The MononaaheIa Coal Opera
tors Association takes the same posi-
ton in behalf of the owners.
The opposition Of the mine work
ers is predicted on the assumption
which they are believed to have
learned from experience, that such in
PREVENTION would be in a form most
likely to aid the mine owners.
Will Try to Mop Up.
The basis for the mine owners OPP
position to the proposal is the opti-
mism that the mine owners spokes-
men profess to have that should
strike ensue in the bituminous fields
the strikers will find themselves at
greater disadvantage this year than
they have been in many years. That
is the reason they give. Another rea-
son, but which they do not give Of
fcially, is to be found in the success
full era of proflteering which strike
will make possible.
What may be the first step in an or
ganized campaign to set the public
against the mine workers and to
create a spirit of hopelessness in the
ranks of the miners was taken today
when published accounts, evidently
inspired by the mine owners lobby,
appeared in the administration paper
purporting to show that in the event
Of strike the mine workers union
would cease to function.
Forecasts Miami.
It is claimed in these news stories
that when the leaders of the two
groups meet in Miami on February IL
to negotiate new agreement in place
of the Jacksonville agreement, which
be different from what 1t was when
the present agreement was entered
into three years ago. At that time
the majority of the soft coal mines
were union operated. Today, it is
claimed, the percentage is almost ex-
actly reversed and non-union opera
ton is employed in s. per cent of the
fields where production is in any sense
continuous.
Under such circumstances, it is
stated, the leaders Of the United Mine
Workers will be reasonable" in their
demands. A desire to continue the
present agreement is all that the work
ers will express. Another element
said to favor the mine owners is the
working agreement which the opera
tors in the central competitive field
have made, enabling them to present
united front in any of the differ
ences that may arise at the confer
ence table.

American Labor Must Be
Better Informed About
the Revolution in China
BY j. LOUIS ENGDAHL.


TN today's issue The DAILY
WORKER publishes the first
news story direct from the infor-
nation department Of the bureau of
foreign affairs of the Canton (Na-
tional Revolutionary government of
China. This Is significant.
1t is an indication that the Canton
government realizes the necessity
of developing contacts with the
workers of other countries, espe-
cially the American working class.
The DAILY WORKER greets this
developing bond of unity between
the Chinese revolutionary masses
and the working class Of the United
States and pledges itself to do
everything possible to promote this
growing solidarity of oriental and
occidental toll.
- =
The Chinese nationalist revolu-
ton combats the blockade of the
imperialist powers in many respects,
just as the Bolshevik revolution in
Russia was forced to tear its way,
and still must, thru the cordons Of
the capitalist enemies to the west.
The Soviet Union has been success
full in progressively breaking down
the food, financial, news and other
blockades imposed upon her. China
is doing the same. +
Canton, formerly the capital city
of the Chinese revolutionary gov
eminent (now removed to WI
chang), has no direct cable coin
munication with the world. Cable
connections are made at Hong
Kong, which is still held in the fist
of the British empire.
Canton is inland and has estab-
lished It's own seaport at Whampoa,
which is gradually taking all ship
ping away from the British port.
Canton is also building its own wire
less station, hoping soon to hurl it's
news and it's views to the world in
spite of the British censorship.
But the censorship does not exist
at Hong Kong alone. There is a
censorship and a perversion of all
Chinese news in every capitalist
editorial Office on the globe. Just
as the state department, headed by
Nervous Nellie" Kellogg at Wash
ington, acts as the press agent of
Wall Street against Mexico, eau
temala and other countries of Cen
trail and South America, so it acts
as the propaganda medium of Amer
lean Imperialism against the Far
East. 1t is still propaganda that is
fed to the American capitalist press
as real news" by the various dollar
controlled news distributing agen-
cies, especially the Associated Press.
The Chinese national revolution
must therefore place It's reliance
