BY NOEL THORNTON
9lsy Associated PRESS

NEW YORK, May 24.F Federal
and state officers. pushing their
attack against gangsters, are en-
countering a changing battlefront
in the ranks of the racketeers.
Not only have new leaders
thrust forward to direct this GRIM
inaI element in it's mulcting of
billions Of dollars from its vic
Tins, but they are carrying their
conspiracy to coerce" tactics into
many new fields little touched be-
fore.
Began With Vote Controlling
According to newspaper ac-f
counts in the early part of this
century, modern racketeering be-
gan with the organizing Of strong
arm hoodlums To control votes by
threats. The same methods were
used to evtort bounty from the
trucking industry and during the
past decade the idea flonrished
in illegal beer and liquor traffic.
Liquor racketeering quickly
blossomed into a criminal dynasty
Of big and easy money, with gang
czars in New York, Chicago and
Detroit branching out their ac-
tivities until they became nation
al in scope.
Public Enemies Listed
Three years ago the internal
revenue department took emphat-
ic cognizance of this menace by
launching an unrelenting attack at

to produce it is soon determined whether their

other individuals in the herd and when this
proves to be the case, they take the place of
the older animals
In this way In a few years. herd of little
more than ordinary worth is developed into q
really profitable herd. The advantage of OBJ
tanning the same amount Of milk from 20 cows
as would ordinarily be had from 40 is evident
at once. The feed bill also is reduced, for the
first 81 pounds Of fed grain goes toward what
is known the maintenance ration, that is
the amount necessary to support the life of
the animal. The grain above that figure is
represented in the milk yield. II but 20 cows
need this II pounds each instead of 40, the
saving on the feed bill Is apparent.
Yet despite these convincing facts matters
of actual record, far too many dairy men fail
to carry out the recommendations of the scien-
lists. 1t explains, in part why many are In
serious financial straits.

Dairy Improvement Pays Vel

A CHANCE to reduce the amount of work
one must do by half through little addi-
tional work s,d care with the same financial
return would seem to be an attractive PROPOSE
ton, but one group of farmers is hard to con-
vince along this line.
For some years. the Department of Agricul-
ture has sought to impress upon the dairy
farmer the advisability and economy of keep
ing herd records of their milk production in
order that the so-called boarder and the loy
producers might be eliminated Yet, despite
the arguments of the field men and the vol
umes which have been written, progress has
been slow. Comparative figures for last year
however, tell the story
Back in 1924, cows whose owners belonged 20
herd Improvement associations produced an
average of 1902 pounds of milk and 27s pounds
OF butter fat year. Last year these figures
had risen to 7,784 pounds Of milk and BOG
pounds of butter fat. Compared with these
figures were those of the non improvement
herds in which in 1924 the yield was ABA
pounds Of milk and 162 pounds of butter fat
Last year the figures were 4, ,466 pounds of milk
and 176 pounds of butter fat.
The difference between the two sets of fig
ures is the difference between prosperity on the
dairy and the struggle to keep ahead of the
sheriff
In proper herd control each COW has a sep
arate record sheet. On it is recorded each day
the weight of the milk given and the amount
OF grain fed. sample of the milk is taken
each day, also. for testing purposes every Is
days to determine the percentage of butter far
A little calculation then gives the cows output
for the 15-day period and the value is quickly
computed. From this is deducted the cost of
the grain fed and the profit remains. Surpris-
ingly often, however, in herds newly subjected
to this accounting system, the yield of the milk
is deducted from the value of the grain fed
and the remainder represents the loss

Another idiosyncrasy of the Julian calendar
which has come dowE to us through the CEN
turies is the date of the beginning Of the year.
Caesar planned to begin his year with the
Winter solstice-December %. AT this time the
sun has reached It's farthest position south of
the equator, and. begins to return with promise
Of new warmth to northern latitudes. Since
prehistoric times men have made this event
an occasion for celebration and rejoicing From
the standpoint of both logic and sentiment, it
would seem the proper day to herald the new

year. But the people Of Rome were grounded
in the belief that the new year must begin
with . new moon, and Caesar thought it ex-
pedient to accede to their wishes. January 1st
was therefore placed on the first day ON which
the new moon appeared after the Winter
solstice.
HNLY two important changes have been
~ made in the Julian calendar since its
adopted in 46 B. C.. The first was the recogni-
ton Of the seven-day week as an official diyi-
sion Of time. This was brought about by En-
peror Constantine's edict OF 321 A.D, which
sanctioned the Christian Sunday as q day Of
rest, and authorized the use of seven pagan
names-the ones stin in use-to designate the
seven days Of the Christian week.

Practically every important strike
struggle of the past month, and their
lessons as well as their dramatic side,
are described in the December issue
of Labor Unity" The New York shoe
strike, the Weirton steel strike, the
Munson strike of seamen, the pack
ing-house struggles, to name but a
few, make the December Labor
Unity" an issue Of such Importance
to all militant workers that they
would handicap themselves by being
without it.
Workers and organizers come to
us in the New York Trade Union
Unity Council office and ask us all
sorts of questionS-important ones on
problems concerning their work in
building the revolutionary unions or
militant independent unions. They
do not realize that every issue of
Labor Unity contains the answer
practically illustrated through a con-
crete strike or other situationS-to
their questions. If workers realized
this, they would regard Labor Unity"
as a handbook Of militant struggle.
Let us again look at the contents
of the December Labor Unity"
There is Biedenkapps article on the
Big New York Shoe Strike"-telling
how the strike was organized, the
part the MIRA. and the A. F. of L..
played. 1t tells how the strikers, led
by the Industrial Union, fought these
enemies. Take again, the article
$4,000 Cotton Pickers Strike" Here
is thrilling picture by Joe Evans,
and a valuable article as well for
the lessons of the strike.
There is Andrew Overgaard's ar
ticle on "Some Lessons of New York
Strikes every important struggle
in New York in recent months ana
lyzed thoroughly. Every strike is ex-
amined for the benefit of the work
ers, SO they can learn and gain from
the experiences Of the recent strikes.
INSTRUMENTATION A. F. Of l.. Be-
trayal' shows how the A. F. OF l..
leaders deal with strikes and also that
the A. F. of l.. rank and file are
militant. The part a revolutionary
union should play in an A. F. of L.
led strike is shown in this article.
There are articles on the Railroad
Refornists and Pensions; on the
Musteites and the Unemployed (by
L. Amter); on the Chester, Pa, and
the Philadelphia auto strikes (by D.
Davis; on the growth of the Furni-
ture Workers Industrial Union, by
Joe Kiss, and an article on Soviet
Recognition.
There are more popular features,
