LAWRENCE, Kans, May 21.-
Single atoms ratified about in space
in a laboratory at the University of
Kansas last night.
Not only did these atoms make a
noise audible to observers in the lab
oratory, but the sound was caught
by the university's radio station,
KFKU, and broadcast throughout the
Central West, together with an ex-
planatory talk by DR.. H. P. Cady, as
sisted by John Strong, both of the
department of chemistry.
The smallness of the atoms used
those from radioactive substances
was explained by DIR. Cady, who said
if single crystal of sugar were di-
vided into a billion parts. and this
billionth were again divided into a
billion parts, the fraction would still
be twenty times as large as the atom
of helium used.

Wisconsin Farmers
Fight Bundesen Edict

DEPERE, Wis. - (FP) - Wholesale
tuberculin condemnation of Wisconsin
dairy herds is bringing not only bank
ruptcy but revolt into the farm dis
tricts. The Brown county farmers
around Depere are organizing into the
Progressive Farmers and will take out
injuncttons against the authorities if
the transportation of INFESTED cows is
interfered with.
The farmers charge that the test
for tuberculosis is unreliable, passing
by obviously diseased cattle but con-
demning healthy animals. They are
not opposed to testing if it is reliable,
they say. Peter Panasier has had 26
COWS condemned out of herd of 81.
A. ]. hackers had 10 out of "a con-
demned, though his entire herd was
declared clean months ago. VIM.
Baumgart had every one of his 10
cows butchered as tuberculous.
The farmers believe that the pack
ing companies of Chicago are the ones
that profit by the wholesale slaughter,
paying cutrate prices for what they
later sell as prime beef.

That an overwhelming vote for in

Such figures suggest that the con-
servatism which marked the early
months of 1925, spreading production
and employment more evenly over the
year, has given way to the frantic
speed that marked the early months

British Form League
to Sabotage Chinese
Nationalist Struggle
Especial to The Daily worker)

SHANGHAI, April ia ''Constitu.
tional Defense League" has been or
ganized here to counterfeit Communist
influence in China None seems to
know whether it originated in this
country or England, but there is no
doubt at all that it is British inspired.
Only lately has the organization come
out into the open with statement of
its purposes, specifically disclaiming
any intention to oppose the nationalist
movement.
The Chinese, however, have not
been taken in by the organization,
even tho few renegades have sold
themselves for high salary. "Un.
limited funds" which are at the dis
posal of the league, according to the
admission of a member of its own
general committee, have helped to re-
veal its true character.
No accounting is made of it's funds
nor their sources, but it is evident
that the big foreign business interests
are strongly backing the outfit. Some
Chinese are also those of the wealthy
class, but they are taking might good
care to keep the contributions secret.
A number of American business men
are included in the organization. The
general committee is composed Of rep
resentatives of all the foreign groups
except the Soviet Union and Germany.
Little Real Influence.
The league, despite its powerful po-
litical and financial backing, has little
influence and shows no sign Of be-
coming power in the near future.
The prestige of the Soviet Union, on
the other hand, is steadily increasing.

CLEVELAND, April IL Cleveland
prides itself on being a liberal town.
But there are limits to liberalism and
surely you would not demand the
same rights for the Negro as for the
white man.
A convention of social welfare
workers is to take place in this city
from May rs to June 2. There will
be about 5000 delegates, including a
number Of colored delegates. AS
members of the Organization, they nat
urally assume that they will be treat
ed with equal consideration.
Jlm-crbw Negro Delegates.
If there is any field in which there
is supposed to be no distinction, that
Is the field Of social welfare. But
not so in Cleveland
The delegates must be housed for
the week that they will be in Cleve-
land. The Negro delegates, however,
will not be accommodated at the
same hotels as the white delegates.
Jane Adams, Rev. John A. Ryan and
Bishop Francis ]. Mcconnell will put
up at one hotel, and the Negro dele
gates-probably also some church peo-
pie among them will be convenient
iy accommodated at some other hotel
so as not to offend the feelings Of
Ehe white dignitaries.
Negro Sees Thru Hypocrisy.
The Negroes are protesting and
''want Champion" as the Cleve-
land Herald, local Negro paper, de-
clares. They are appealing to the
Welfare Federation to bring pressure
to bear on the hotel keepers. But in
looking over the roster of those die
tating the policy Of the Welfare Fed
sration, they find there is not a single
Negro among them in this "city Of
cordial service
Not to be outdone, the Friendship
Club, Young Womens Christian or
ganization, refuses to admit Negro
girls, and this antagonism has spread
even to the Girl Scouts. The Negro
will thru experience learn the hypoc-
risy of these superior" WITHSTAND
perhaps thru that, the sham Of the
three institutions-the Friendly Club,
the Young Womens Christian Assoc
iation, which regards all men as "chil-
dren" OF the "same father" in heaven,
and the Girl Scouts who boast of
their patriotism, and love of this
"most democratic country in the
world" Democracy is all right, pro-
vided YOU don't abuse it and don't
you know the Negro is an inferior

now in effect against some of the
largest concerns.
Slight Gain Made.
Taking the IL major groups Of in
dustries Z showed material gains both
in number employed and in total
wages. But the increases occurred
chiefly in groups producing either
material for further manufacture or
additional productive power, while
the food products, textiles and cloth
ing, leather products and tobacco fac
tories, manufactures purchased direct
ly by consumers, reported decreases.
The average weekly wage paid in
February was s27O2 which is S.1%
above January and 1.19o above Febru-
airy 1925. The most important in
creases in per capita earnings over
a year ago were 6,1To in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements,
$50 in baking, 1870 in paper box
making and 5.4qo in book and Job
printing. Wooden mills reported the
only cut OF more than 80 in average
wages.
Slump Threatens.
The report shows industry operating
$40 Of full time with S7T6 of a normal
working force, or about 1920 of full
time a capacity. This compares VIA
1919 of capacity in January when
many concerns were slowing down on
account of inventory. The startling
fact is that industry producing nearly
2O9o less than it could produce ON a
normal schedule is yet running far
ahead of what the workers can buy
back. That is why slump threatens.

DAIRY FARMERS
EXPOSE METHODS
OF HEALTH HEADS
Tuberculin Test N o t
Sure, Say Cattlemen
BY CARL HAEssLER.

1t it safe milk for Chicago to drink
or Is 1t easy money on beef for the
packer profteers? This is the oues-
ton dairy farmers in the Chicago area
are trying to solve, because the an.
swer means not only the health Of
the city people drinking their milk
but the livelihood of the farmers.
Issue Becomes Acute.
The issue BECAME acute when
health commissioner Bundesen of Chi.
cago began enforcing the city ordi-
nance that bars milk drawn from cows
which have not been subjected to the
tuberculin test for tuberculosis. The
Milk Producers Assn. believes that
great financial loss is being inflicted
on the farmers without corresponding
protection to the consumer.
AS evidence John F. Sullivan. a dairy
farmer of Marengo and chairman of
the associations campaign committee.
declares that the tuberculin test is
uncertain, failing to spot infected cows
that any farmer would condemn off,
hand and yet including cows as tuber-
culous that are healthy and sound. At
recent demonstration in Darion,
Wis, the milk producers challenged
the testers to say which COWS were
unfit. The testers approved two cows
that the farmers. present rejected as
tuberculous and one of the COWS died
on the way to Chicago. On the other
hand cows regarded as sound by the
farmers were condemned by the test
ers.
Packers Take Diseased Cows.
I'VE Illinois dairy farmers have
taken every precaution suggested by
the Chicago dairy companies" says
Sullivan, land we have produced milk
that commissioner Bundesen officially
reported as firstclass. Yet he permits
milk from INFESTED areas like Indiana
to come In to affect the Chicago milk
supply. What is needed is expert
farmer cooperation with these socalled
testers" ssr
The packer end of the situation
comes in on the disposal Of the con-
demned COWS. A purebred COW worth
many hundreds of dollars brings a
maximum of $50 when condemned. A
grade COW brings 'lup to $40. The
packers are suspected of getting good
beef way below market prices, pre-
tending that the CARCASS was diseased
and fit only for th8sfertilizer tank, but
selling it for higho grade prices. The
recent disclosures of fraud in the
'stockyards made 1.-THE department of

ferior or even diseased at the stock

at the yards and the stockraisers were
defrauded. 80
Will Drive Out Small Farmers.
'If this continues $3.50 of our north
ern Illinois dairyuc farmers will be
driven out of business" says Sullivan
yet everyone was producing highly
satisfactory milk for the companies
that serve the city"

the migration of the Negro to the

less farms in Louisiana in 1925 than

ers and tenants. South Mississippi
shows decrease of 5000 in the same
period. Low prices by the commits
sion merchants and low pay for help

causes.
