by the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, September 13.-Sever-
ance Of the American Newspaper Guild
from the American Federation Of
Labor was absolute today with out
lawry" Of the c. I. o. unit by A. F. l..
President William Green.
Green said all State and central
A. F. L. bodies will be instructed TO
expel local chapters of the guild, "as
they are no longer eligible to mem
bership because of their association
with the c. I. O."
The action followed by three months
the guilds convention decision here
to a1iliate with the John L. Lewis
group, which guild headquarters said
had been supported, 1892 to 1851, by
a membership vote.
In "a militant drive" against the
c. I. o. guild, the A. F. l.. president
explained in prepared statement. AL
news and editorial employees Of news
papers will be invited to join Federal
unions organized by the A. F. L., which
will be accorded the fullest support
by the mechanical trades unions Of
the A. F. L.
1T is expected members of the
guild who voted against affiliation
with the Committee for Industrial
Organization, or against its political
policies, will form the nucleus of this
new organization"
He declared the A. F. L. "for so
years has been fighting for a free
press" warning that guild members
may be committed by their associa-
ton with the C. I. o. to a definite
political policy"
Can the public be expected, under
such circumstances, to place its trust
in the impartiality of newspaper re-
ports?" Green commented, and added
the federation will use every re-
source at its command to combat
and destroy such menace"

PRESIDENT WEIGHS
JOURNEY TO WEST
He Will Confer With Hull on
Return Tomorrow on Need
of Staying Here.
BY J. RUSSELL Young.

The big question confronting Presl-
dent Roosevelt when he returns to
the White House tomorrow from his
vacation in Hyde Park. N. Y, will be
whether he should abandon tempo
rarily the trip he has planned to the
West Coast.
Tentative arrangements have been
made for the journey across the con-
tinent, but there is possibility Mr.
Roosevelt may decide that, because Of
the dangerous situation in the Far
East, he should remain in WASH
ington.
At the time the President revealed
his contemplated Western trip he ex-
planned that everything depended on
the situation in China. Advices from
the State Department since then are
to the effect that matters have grown
worse
The President has been in close
touch with Secretary of State Hull
during his absence, and one of his
first acts on reaching the White
House tomorrow will be to confer with
the State Department head. The
President also will lose no time in
studying the latest reports concerning
the Sino-Japanese hostilities.
Cabinet Meeting Set.
Later In the day he will confer
with members Of his cabinet for the
first time in several weeks, and it is
expected that within the next day or
so he will be ready to announce
definitely whether or not he will go
through with the projected trip.
Some of the Presidents associates
pointed out that there is no real pur-
pose to the trip other than to visit
his daughter and her husband, John
Boettiger, In Seattle, and to inspect
several Federal projects on the way.
His opponents, however. have
heralded the trip as an attempt to
rally the people to his side in his
fight to reorganize the Supreme Court,
and incidentally to make reprisas ON
Democratic Senators who led the
opposition to the plan.
Denies Speech Making.
The President has insisted that he
has no intention Of making a speech
on the journey, but there Is reason
to believe he will make many rear
platform appearances and impromptu
talks and receive many State leaders
at various stops along the way.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be faced with
another task on his return tomor-
row-the writing of a speech he is
scheduled to deliver here Friday night
in connection with the ceremonies
commemorat1ng Constitution day.
The President will make q brief ex-
temporaneous talk during the fore
noon Friday, when he participates in
the seventy-f1fth anniversary celebra-
ton Of the Battle of Antietam at
Sharpsburg, Md. On Thursday, he
will be host to group of State Gov-
ernors returning from the annual
Governors Conference at Atlantic
City, N. j.
The President may remain In Wash
ington until Saturday night, when he
will return to Hyde Park 10 stay
until he starts his Western trip the
middle Of next week II he makes it.

General Tells President He Could
Inspect Dams.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, September
13 R.-Maj Gen. Edward Markham.
chief Of Army Engineers, today In
formed President Roosevelt of the
status Of the Upper Mississippi canali-
zation, and Fort Peck and Bonneville
Dams, and how he could visit each
conveniently IN event he makes a
Western tour.
He could visit each Of these on his
way out" Markham said, but was
merely giving him preparatory in
formation. AS far as I know, there
has been No decision on the trip"
Gen. Markham, whose four-year
term as Army Engineer chief Is up
October 18, said he did not discuss
his future assignment with the Presi-
dent.
Il told the President" he said, "he
had an opportunity to view these vari-
Gus structures Of which We are very
proud"
He said the Mississippi 9-foot chan

ect estimated to cost $120,o00, 900,

venient channel and with installation

Fort Peck Dam ON Missouri.
He said the Fort Peck Dam On the
Missouri River In Montana, started in
1884, was finished. except for the
"quantitive" job of dredging to lift
the lake higher. Bonneville, on the
Columbia River between Oregon and
Washington, is roughly finished" he
said, with power being available about
November or December.
He predicted the salmon industry
would not be injured by the dam,
as some have feared. He said the
temporary fish ladders we're perform
ing well, with 124 salmon taking them
every minute, and the permanent lad.
ders would work 100 per cent.
Some of his closest advisers are
authoritatively reported to have urred
the President not to go West because
OF the Far Eastern and European
crisis.
Others, it is said, have taken the
position he should make the trip If
for no other reason than that it
would demonstrate q desire to keep
the United States as far as possible

FILTHY PENS AND
EXPOSURE LEAD TO
SWINE FLU is SAID

Filthy pens and exposure in
bad weather lead the way 10
swine influenza that takes Il
heavy toll Of the baby pig crop
every year.
Dr.. c. d. Grinnclls, vctcrinar-
ian at the y. G. agricultural OK
pertinent station, said this disease
can be controlled by giving swine
the right kind Of care in fall and
winter.
Provide the pigs with clean,
wcll-bcddcd pens; protect them
from undue exposure and drafts
in rough, cold weather; and OSo-
late newly purchased hogs for at
least go days to see whether they
arc infected with disease.
Swine FLU" resembles hog
cholera, and this complexities the
trouble. When pigs are weakened
by one. they can easily contract
the other.
The similarity of the two dis
eases also makes il difficult to
tell whether To treat the animals
for "flu" or for cholera, DR..
GrinncllS continued
Sanitation and vaccination will
prevent cholera. Sanitation and
protection from exposure will
prevent flu" If the pigs catch
the "flu," they should be- placed
in clean, warm pens and fed
sparingly and easily digcStcd ra-
ton.
Symptoms of "flu' and of
cholera are tendency for the
animals to pile up, or to appear
unduly weak or loggy. These
symptoms may be caused by lung
or intestinal worms also.
When these symptoms are dis
covered. the safest thing is to
call in a veterinarian who can
diagnose the trouble correctly and
prescribe the right treatment, DR..
GrinnellS states.
