Letter from Mileaf.


The following letter from Oscar
Mileaf fur striker, shows the splendid
spirit he has shown all during his
term in jail which will end next We'd
nesday.
Mileaf's letter of August 31st says:
dear Comrade Shapiro:
81 received your most welcome
letter, and was more than glad to
hear from you. About the bail,
want you to know that l will be out
September Z in the morning about
nine o'clock, but you must fix the bail
soon so won't have to go to Mineola.
I asked the warden the other day if
I am on bail. He said that he did
not receive any word about it yet.
II told him that got an appeal,
which he said that he will find out.
In other words, he does not know
what's what and he must know. be-
fore September 7th, so l could go
home early. Otherwise l might have
to go to Mineola; so please see that
everything is in good shape before
September 7th.
II am feeling fine in health and
hope to hear the same from everybody
in the union. Give my best regards
to all the comrades. Tell them that
II will soon be with them all, doing
my share to have strong and honest
union
"My brother Nat will let you know
what | need for September 7th. I
really have nothing else to write, ex-
cept that am glad that | am soon
going to be free and back in the rank
and file to do my duty as a worker,
for the working class. close this

The veterinarian visits the farm
and injects the tIberculin. This takes
only a little while even in large
herds. Then he speeds TO another
dairy farm and injects additional cat

turns TO the first farm and examines
the animals for swellings. The re-

sanitary milk for domestic consump-
ton. The milk supply is a fertile
source of disease distribution unless
1t is maintained free of all dangerous
germs. The countryside testing OF
dairy herds to rid them of bovine
tuberculosis is a fundamental step in
the fortificatiOn Of our milk supply
against menacing diseases. All the
milk sold in Washington is required
to come from tuberculin-tested cows.
If there Is any milk being marketed in
Washington from untested herds, 1t is
being sold in violation Of rigid laws,
and those who handle the product are
subject to heavy fines and loss of
dealers licenses.
In 1891, the Bureau of Animal In
dustry began to manufacture tubercu-
lin on q small experimental scale.
Gradually this federal enterprise has
expanded until today it has developed
into a big business. During the last
nine years Uncle Sam has engaged
in cattle testing on the most extern
sive scale ever practiced anywhere. OF
the 27,S1S.125 cattle tested during
that period in all parts of the country
$780, reactors have been found and
slaughtered.
The task of testing cattle by the
million has been enormous. During
the current year 1890 official and ac-
credited veterinarians are devoting all
their time to this work. The official
register of testers includes 213 Bureau
of Animal Industry experts, 297 state
men, 316 county employees and 4 city
testers. Sixty-four hundred graduate
veterinarians who live in the United
States compose the accredited roster
They have passed the Government eX-
aminations and are qualified to test
cattle under federal supervision.
According to the Official statement
of DIR. John r. Mohler, chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, within
the next II years approximately 2,512
counties in this country will have
cleaned up their dairy herds and will
be registered in the national "modi.
fled accredited area" When cooper
ative tuberculin testing by federal,
State and county agencies was sur
veyed four years ago the report
showed that four of every 100 dairy
animals in the country had bovine
tuberculosis. This total of diseased
cattle has now been reduced to IS
animals per 100 head OF cattle. The
forward march In cattle testing and
tuberculosis eradication will continue
until every dairy farm in the country
is free of this disease.
