Delegates to UE
convention barred
at U.S.. border

NEW YORK-FP) - Eleven
of the IS Canadian delegates to
the United Electrical, Radio &
Machine Workers convention
which met here last week were
denied entry to the US. by
American immigration authori-
ties.
This was revealed to the con-
vention by President George c..
Aldridge of Toronto Local 521,
one of the seven who was al
lowed entry. Aldridge, who flew
in, said he and another delegate
were detained at LaGuardia
Field and grilled about their
political beliefs by the immigra-
ton officials.
Among questions tossed at
him, he said, was: would you
cOndOne the violent overthrow
of the government to further
the cause Of the UE?" One dele
gate was barred because he had
repeatedly attended a Canadian
consumers meeting to protest
high prices. Other delegates
were asked to reveal which can
didates they voted for in the
last UE convention.

his good labor record.
Called ostensibly for the
purpose of discussing pressing
problems of USA-CIO's vast
membership, the real business
of the conference, it became
clear after the Truman indorse-
ment, was to give steel leader
ship an opportunity to try to
rally Steelworkers behind Tru-
man
The Truman Endorsement was
pushed by USA-CIO's big brass
toward the end of the confer
ence, which ran Saturday morn
ing through Sunday evening at
the Morrison Hotel, after the
better part" of the 500 dele
gates - disguised with their
leaders unabashed praise of
Injunction Harry"-had pulled
out and left for home.
While indorsing Truman, steel
leadership assailed the use of
injunctions ISSUED by President
Truman) to break strikes; union
busting by NLRB Administrator
Robert Denham Ga Truman ap-
pointee), and the Presidents
loyalty purge of government en-
ployees.
As anticipated, brass-knuckles
appeared at this conference, too.

Sam Taylor, USA-CIO staff
representative from So. Chicago,
who captained the smuggling de-
tail, overlook McGilvery and his
companion a few steps from the
Morrison exit. McGilvery knock
ed two of the gang down, and
was working on a third, when
two of the goons pinned his arms
from behind while their buddy
boys closed in with fists and
feet.
Reason for the attack was be-
lieved to be Offence" commit
ted by the Labor Sentinel
against the Germano bureauc-
racy - which is deeply commit
ted to the Democratic machine
in Lake County. Namely the
Sentinefs consistent support of
Wallace and the Progressive
Party.
Vice President Van. A. Bit
ner, who gave the conferences
main address, sought to convince
delegates that President Truman
was compelled to crush the
strikes of railroad workers,
miners and seamen by injunc-
ton.
Typical of the Germano brand
of democracy extended confer
ence delegates, no comment was
permitted from the floor before
adoption of resolutions. Vigilant
sergeants-at-arms patrolled the
aisles, coldly eying any dele
gate who might be suspected of
committing such an untoward
act.
Three resolutions, adopted by

Irish.
The Cardinals lost two of
their finest players when de-
fensive ends Bill Ivy and Clar-
ence Esser gave up the ghost,
but Bob Dove and Bob Ravens
burg could fill the bill. Charlie
Trippi is back hotter than ever.
Pitching Paul Christman should
be better than ever behind
still powerful Cardinal line.
Ventan Yablonski, last years
Columbia fullback, could be the
surprise package of the year.
Nal Kutner is still the best end
in pro football. If the Cardinals
can keep their first team intact
they're going to be tough to I'M
seat as champions.
The Bears could be just the
team to do it. Sid Luckman,
pushed by the acquisition OF
Johnny Lujack and Bobby
Layne, should have one of his
best years. The line is still as
powerful as ever and the back
field, with George McAfee show
ing signs of being his old self,
is certainly adequate.
The Cardinals had to get in
shape little too early for the
AH-Star game. 1t could tell in
the last part of the season. That,
plus the fact that we are died
in the wool Bear fans, will make
us pick our favorites as the final
victor. But it would just be Chi
cago'S luck to have Green Bay
come out of the North and steal
the title and take away the last
thing the Windy City fans have
to be proud of.

Ted Reeves, coach of the
Toronto Beaches I n d i a n S
Football Team and one time
Lacrosse great, asks how the
American Pro Football races
stack up this year.
Your first impulse is to say
it's too hot to talk football. But
then you remember the Rockets
are well along in their schedule.
The Cardinals open against Phil
adelphia Sept. "a; the Bears two
days later at Green Bay. And
when you consider how Chicago
teams let you down, it gives a
great deal of pleasure to dis
cuss football. At least we can
be proud of the Bears and Car
dinalS.
After exacting a promise that
there will be no bets based on
our selections else somebody else
goes to the poor house, we tell
Ted just what we think.
In the All-American Confer
ence the Cleveland Browns will
come out on top per usual. True,
some of the boys are not as
young as they used to be. San
Francisco is capable of giving
some competition. The Buffalo
Bills with the aid of George
Ratterman could be dangerous.
The Baltimore Colts and their
new find, Y. A. Title, could
cause trouble. The New York
Yankees, as long as they keep
Buddy Young whole, are always
threat.
But as it stands now you have
to go along with the champs.
Graham and Motley, and a big
and powerful line with two fast
ends in Speddie and Levante
should be enough to see them
through. The Rockets? They're
improving slowly, but too slow
ly to be threat this year.
The National Pro League is
different story. It's a tOssup
between our own Cardinals and
Bears. The Eastern section win
ner is unimpOrtant. All the real
power is in the West. Green
Bay, who lost a number of one
point heart breakers last year
is coming back stronger than
ever.
The Western race should be a
! lulu. To pick the winner one

tdlO Oil Oliltili1I Lie w IL
May, she may have SOC worms in
June and 10000 worms in August.
But if the sheep are moved to
another pasture every couple of
weeks, then to another pasture in
another two weeks, this increase in
the worm population does not occur.
Sheep on the national forest for
the summer do not become parasited
we rarely see wormy lambs come
off the forest in the fall. The prac-
tice of changing backgrounds every
night prevents the build-up of the
worms.
Proper use of leased or private
range, as in eastern or northern
Montana, has the same effect on
these parasites. If the herder camps
his sheep well away from the water,
and uses different routes to and
from the water hole each day, then
the pickup of larval worms from
the pasture will be minimal. If, on
the other hand, the herder's wagon
is located close to a water hole, and
the sheep use the range close around
the water almost constantly for
weeks, then wormy lambs will
certainly result.
Pasture Rotation
In farm flocks where large pas
lures are seldom available, a cross
fence OF two in the pasture will per-
nit frequent changing to new pas
ture during the summer, about
every two weeks, and will do more
to control parasites than any other
thing. A flock of sheep kept on a
small irrigated pasture through the
summer will be heavily parasitized
by August just as surely as the sun
will rise in the east tomorrow morn
ing. Pasture rotation will prevent
this parasitism.
Coccidiosis of feeder lambs, that
bloody diarrhea that SO often hits
feeders within 10 days of putting
them on feed, is a problem to be
handled, not by medicines, but by
management. Lambs unloaded from
cars, even when shipped only a
hundred miles or so, have often
been off feed and water for 48 hours
or more, if we count the actual time
from the hour when they were
actually cut off the ewes. Such
lambs, put directly on feed, will
gorge themselves. Indigestion will
result, and the coccidia, always pres
ent in the intestine, will multiply to
the point where a disease, coccidio-
sis, will occur. These same lambs, put
on a wild hay pasture for 10 days to
rest and Craze after being unloaded
might then be put On feed without
{ any loss at all.
C~occidiosis of calves and yearlings
l in the late fall and winter, evidenced
: by a bloody dysentery, nearly al
ways follows any abrupt change O.
feed such as bringing the calves il
from skinned off pasture and put
ting them on alfalfa hay. We hav'
seen coccidiosis follow weaving o
calves in November, when tn
|, calves were held for several day
! in a corral on alfalfa hay. An,
abrupt change in feed, especial.
from poor feed to a "high-power

one kind or another.

Livestock Management
Livestock Losses
BY DIR. HOWARD WEIGH

year-Old boy look the IdInlly Jersey
COW and picketed her out on a va
can't lot on the edge of Bozeman,
and went on to school. That night
the COW was dead; the boy had
driven the picket pin in the middle
of a thick patch of Death Camas,
and the COW had to eat the poison
Gus weeds or go hungry. That was
poor management.
Later that year a sheep grower
was moving a thousand ewes and
their lambs over a low divide dur
ing August and was warned that
the 1upine was very bad at the top
of the hill. He said he would watch
it and keep the sheep on the high
way while going over the top. But
he forgot about it. The herder left
the highway to keep away from the
traffic and lost $50 ewes and many
lambs from lupine poisoning. The
loss was due to bad management.
The lupine could have been by
passed.
The owner of some purebred
Hereford cattle rented a farmers
pasture for the summer and turned
in 20 cows and calves. Two calves
drank a half gallon of yellow paint
from a bucket at an old junk pile
and died. Another owner had four
calves die from drinking from a tub
full of a fence post pr~eservative.
These are not bad luck cases, they
are just bad management. They are
cited to illustrate what we mean by
a relationship between management
and livestock losses. There are many
such illustrations.
Poison Plants

spur, lupine, etc. = are not forage
plants. Livestock much prefer the
grasses, but if the range is over
grazed or in a very dry year the
grass is short or burned up, then

traced to bad management, throw

dant.
Nearly all the losses from spoi
son" that we have Investigated have
been of this type.
Many losses from larkspur hav'
been due to putting cattle on noun
tain pasture too early, when tn
clumps of larkspur were growth,
and green and the grass was stil
short. Trailing sheep considerabl
distances through the mountains i
July and August in lupine countr
may result in the sheep shipping OF
the tips of the lupines as they go b

time to Craze, the sheep would tax
the grass and ignore the lupine.
Parasites in Sheep
Parasites of sheep, in either far
flocks or range sheep, will multipl

pasture day after day for a mont
