NEW YORK, Feb. 3 ON.S0
Charging that Communists in con.

the very existence of the fur in.
dustry, manufacturers in the
metropolitan area today prepared
to stage a far.flung lockout a
week from tomorrow.
The step was voted by the AS
sociated Fur Coat and Trimming
Association Just as local CIO
heads, taking issue with the
United Mine Workers, announced
that the rolls of their unions were
open to Communists.
Contrary to the recent attack
by David DubinSky, president OF
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, on the "destruc.
tive role" of communism in the
CIO, heads of the Transport Work
ers' Union, the National Mari

end in expulsion Of AFL
President Green from the UNIV,
to which he has belonged for
48 years.
SALARIES DOUBLED
The miners closed their meeting
on a note of supreme confidence.
They raised the salary of Lewis
from $4,000 to $4,000 yearly;
they raised the salaries of Vice
President Phillip Murray and Sec.
retary.treasurer Thomas Kennedy
from SO, 1000 to $4,000. And they
voted the officers power to pour
as much UNIV money as they see
at into the CIO campaign.
Already the UNIV has loaned
and paid the CIO nearly $2,000,.
900 to finance its fight against the
American Federation Of Labor.
Closing development of the
miners meeting called William
Green to a trial for treason" |"
The UNIV international board
was instructed to expel Green
from the union If he is found
guilty.
Other acts of the miners in
convention approved the RooSe-
welt program almost entirely.
When they meet again, in 1910,
the next presidential campaign
will be getting under way.

The AFL executive council met
simultaneously with the mine

AWAITS REPORT
The matter will be decided
when the federation's three-man

George Harrison, makes its formal
report to the executive council.
Although it was reported in some
quarters that the committee
might recommend peace over
lures to the rival union, general
belief was that a permanent rup-
ture would be sought.
Though under suspension, the
Miners Union still is technically
affiliated with the AFL.
President William Green, Of the
federation, declined to indicate
what policy would be followed.
ANOTHER REBUFF
Green administered another re-

SUBURBANITES

will Discuss Plans at
Silver Spring

Plans to force the immediate
construction Of sewage disposal
plant to end the pollution Of the
Potomac River tributaries from
sewage dumped by the Washing.
ton suburban area will be drawn
up at a mass meeting in Silver
Spring Thursday night.
DR.. William B. Holton, president
Of the Bethesda Chevy Chase
chapter of the Izaak Walton
League, announced the meeting
would be attended by representa-
tives of civic organizations in
Montgomery and Princes Georges
counties. It will be held at the
Jessup-Blair Community House at
Georgia Avenue and the District
Line.
WATERS THAT ARE POLLUTED
Sewage from the communities
included in the Sanitary District
Is now emptied without treatment
into the Anacostia River, Rock
Creek, and Little Falls Run, with
the former stream receiving by far
the larger portion.
Sanitary District officials expect
eventually to build a sewage dis
poSal plant on the Anacostia
River, and to connect the lines
now emptying into the other
streams with the District of Co
lumbia system. However, no
plans have been made for immedi-
ate action, in spite of the fact
that Secretary Ickes has indicated
he would regard favorably applica-
tions for PWA allotmentS for dis
posal plants.
DR.. Holton said invitations to
Thursdays meeting would be sent
all Lions clubs, Rotary clubs,
Chambers of Commerce, Amer
lean Legion posts and women's
clubs in the area served by the
Sanitary District.
THE purpose Of the meeting"
he said, will be to arouse pub
lie sentiment in favor of immedi-
ate action by the sanitary COM
mission to clean up the streams
which feed the Potomac.
PLANT ON ANACOSTIA
1--WE feel this could be &C.
complished by construction Of q
sewage treatment plant along
the AnacoStia River near Blad-
ensburg and by connecting GER
tain other Maryland sewage
mains, which now drain into
other streams, with the District
sewer mains. When this is done
these streams will be almost
perfectly safe for warding and
bathing"
He pointed out that immediate
action was necessary, because all
applications to the PWA must be
filed before September 30.

LANHAM SEEKS
MORE CASH FOR
CARE OF TREES
Makes Budget Request
For $4,000 in 40

Clifford Lanhan, superintendent
Of trees and parking, asked the
District Commissioners today to
approve a $4,000 increase in the
appropriation for his department
for 1910.
The total for which Lanham
asked was $4,000 as compared
with $126.6OO for the 1889 fiscal
year.
$4,000 NEEDED
Lanham said the 1889 allowance
Of $126,600 would be adequate for
his payroll in 1910, but asserted
the extra $4,000 was urgently
needed for additional systematic
trimming of the city's shade trees.
He estimated there are some
$4,000 trees on the Capitals
streets, many of which were "old
and fast deteriorating." Without
an increase in the appropriation,
he said, it would be practically
impossible" to care adequately for
the trees.
He said many decayed and dan
gerous limbs could be removed as a
hazard to pedestrians and urged
the $4,000 be appropriated as a
guarantee against accidents or
suits.
$992,34O For Light
An appropriation Of 1892, $40
was asked by District Electical
Engineer Walter E. Kern to foot
the bill for Illuminating the high
ways and byways of the Nations
Capital during the 1910 fiscal
year. This represents a $751;
increase of the current budget.
From the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board came a 1910 bud
get request for $48, 800, an increase
of $4,680 over the current appro-
priation. The board asked $1,000
be set aside for purchase of sam
piles by plain clothes men and in
spectorS in enforcement work.
