GUILD UNIT DEFENDS BROUN’S CRITICISM San Francisco Unit Would With- draw negum for Apology in Slap at Roosevelt. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.—The Executive Council of the San Fran- cisco District American Newspaper Guild asked the council of the Phila- delphia-Camden Guild last night to withdraw its request for an apology from Heywood Broun for his reported reference to President Roosevelt as American Newspaper The San Francisco Council state- ment also asked all guild members to refrain hereafter “from public airing of family quarrels.” The statement continued: “This council feels that since the Broun . statement was prompted largely by revelations of ‘labor policy which found their first major clari- fication in President Roosevelt’s per- sonal intervention to snatch from us a hard-fought, twice-won victory, this whole matter concerns us very UR MATTRESSES, SPRINGS AND BEDS ARE THE FINEST., Specialists in this line—Modest H.A Linger,925 G St. partment of the Y. M. C. A. in co- operation with The Evening Star,” Maj. Brown said. “The learn-to-swim campaign is a good thing for the city because it centers attention on the necessity of teaching boys, who are naturally ven- turesome in spirit, the art of swim- ming. As superintendent of police I have had called to my attention each year the large number of deaths in the city caused by drowning. Some of this loss of life undoubtedly could not be prevented; certainly some of the lives would have been saved had those suffering accidents been able to swim. “I therefore urge boys who cannot swim to take advantage of this oppor- tunity to learn the fundamental rudi- mentary principles of swimming, which next week will be taught at the boys® department of the Y. M. C. A, under the instruction of experts.” Six lessons will be given in the Y. M. C. A. boys’ pool, beginning Mon- day. A special corps of competent in- structors has been organized under the direction of William Hutzell, boys’ swimming director, and Dallas Shirley, men’s swimming director of the Y. M. C. A. Boys between the ages of 10 and 18 years, inclusive, are eligible to receive the instruction. "To enroll, fill out the coupon printed herewith and present it at the Y. M. C. A.
