OFFICIALS STAND
BY while The MEN
ARE MOVED DOWN
Hold to Tammany Deal
Not to Strike

Fifteen more discharges by the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company
marked yesterdays toll in the Inter
borough campaign to exterminate all
remains of organization on its lines.
With the promise of still more dis
missals to number given out unof-
ficially as 1000, there is taking place
one of the most extraordinary events
in recent labor history, in which a
labor union bound by its officials not
to strike is tied completely while its
ranks are being cut down unmerci-
lessly and even exultingly by the enc
my.
Infamous Betrayal
The officials of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees who are those
guilty of this most infamous betray-
al of the workers remain silent and
inactive while the Interborough gloats
in it's attack.
Mayor Jimmie Walker in whose
hands the situation has been placed
has announced that .'he has not yet
given up hope for a peaceful settle
ment" No one any longer is deceiv-
ed by the statements of the Tam
many henchman. The role of Tam
many Hall as II the past has been
to tie the hands of the union while
the company crushes the workers in
the uneven conflict.
Workers viii Remember.
Thousands of trade unionists in the
city have before them the most valu-
able object lesson as TO the character
of their present leaders. The events
of the past week it is believed, have
burned themselves in the minds of
the workers as no amount of propa-
ganda could have done in years.
Disclosures were made yesterday
by the DAILY WORKER of a deal
between the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor and
Al Smith, leader of Tammany Hall, by
which the union officials agreed not
to block a strike on the local trac-
tion lines in turn for a concession on

The drastic attack which the
United States government has made
against the progressive elements in
the Pennsylvania anthracite region is
the opening gun-fire in the renewed
campaign of the American capitalists
to crush the militant American work

Previously the government has
struck intermittantiy, and meeting
strong resistance from the workers,
has preferred to slacken the attack.

The exclusion yesterday from a
regular meeting of at least half
dozen more members from Local 3
of the electrical workers by H. Fl.

of the Brotherhood, was the last
development in the autocratic reign
which has been set up by Broach in
this union.

cent loan, the bonds outstanding
would then represent not in excess of
48 per cent of the total mortgaged
property security. The management
states that many loans are much less
than go per cent loans, thereby in
creasing the bond security. Back of
each bond is also the financial respon

HOLSTEIN CATTLE In STATE
Seventy-fOur Per Cent Of Registered
Cows in State Are That Breed

The Holstein-F -Friesian breed of cat
tie is popular with the dairymen of
the State, if the proportion of regis
tered cows in the State may be taken
as criterion by which to judge. 1t
is claimed that seventy-five per cent
of the registered cows in the State
are Of the Holstein-Friesian breed. "A
statement to this effect was recently
made by Prof. De Voc Meade, of the
University of Maryland.
This fact was brought out at the
recent winter meeting Of the Della
ware Holstein-F -Friesian Association
held at the farm of J. Harold Schab-
niger, near FELTON,. Harry Clark of
near Smyrna is president Of the asso-
citation and J. r. Danks of Winter
thur, secretary.
About forty members Of the asso-
citation were present at the meeting
and inspected in the morning Mr..
Schabinger's herd Of registered cows.
A COW judging contest, using three
cows was won by w. J. Smith. The
average product of the three cows
last year was over 10000 lbs. Of milk
The average milk production in the
entire State is around 5000 pounds
per COW.
Lunch was served to the members
at 1890 after which the talks of the
afternoon program were given.
Professor Meade in the course of
his talk brought out that inheritance
and environment in breeding were the
two factors that the dairyman must
face in improving the milk produc-
tion of his herd. He stated that eff
ficient management will improve the
cows and their milk production, and
that proper feeding may increase the
production as much as Is per cent.
"Over 100000 records of COW testing
associations over the United States
point out that the dairyman to make
money must have cows of higher pro-
duction than is now general" remark
ed the speaker. Prof. Meade pointed
out that the average cows of Mary
land, Delaware, and many other states
made an income over feed costs Of
only $14, and that this income could
be increased by having cows which
average at least 300 pounds of butter
fat yearly "Only then," stated Prof.
Meade, would the cows bring in an
income over feed costs that would be
remunerative to their owners"
Prof T. "A. Baker explained the
rules and regulations of the Herd
Improvement Registry for the con-
duct of herd improvement tests of
Holstein-Friesian cows. 'This herd
improving testing will probably take
the place Of the COW testing associa-
tion as far as the Holstein- Friesian
breed is concerned" stated Prof
Baker. The testing will be done BY a
supervisor sent out from the college
and the records will be sent to the Of
flee Of the Advanced Registry Depart
ment Of the Holstein- Friesian Asso-
ciation," continued the dairy husband

Monday and Tuesdays -"Shin plas-
ters," the queer little bills in ten and
twenty-five cent denominations that
the government once issued and then,
when the odd nickname was popularity
applied to them, withdrew them from
trade,went into circulation again when
Jackie Coogan started work on his
newest vehicle "The Bugle Call"
Museums were ransacked for enough
Of the queer little greenbacks, which
are no bigger than several postage
stamps, to collect enough for ''tips"
for Herbert Rawlinson to distribute
during the picture and for Jackie Coo
gan himself to use for pocket money.
For the new picture, a vivid historical
romance Of the Great Plains was laid
IN the times when the "shin plasters"
took the place Of dimes and "two-bit
pieces" in the coin of the realm-so
they just had to be used. Jackie's
new picture shows him in a role new
to most Of his followers, as he plays a
Hnear-grown-up" part, enacting
bugle boy in a cavalry post along the
historic Bozeman Trail in the days of
the Indian fighting. Jackie in the
story is the son of Herbert Rawlinson,
captain Of the post, and his bugle
routs an Indian horde in the strange
tale, based on actual hisory.
