ABOR DISAVONS ” PARTISAN VOTING Gompers Says Federation Will Study Services of Men - and Platforms. o . . . . )i _ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 31— { Only one thing can’be sure as to the = political policy of the American # Federation of Labor in the coming y campaign, its president, Samuel # Gompers, ' declared yesterday, and 4 that is that “we shall commit our- I selves to no political party as parti- # BuNS to a party.”’ # Mr. Gompers' assertion was made iin a statement on the eve of the 7 meeting here of the executive coun- 1 cil. in which he discussed the politi- . cal problems now confronting leaders » of organized labor, and added: 4 “Neither T nor any other person { can suy what will be the result of ! the deliberations of our executive ; council until those deliberations have ! maturea.” While the statement did not_touch : upon the efforts to procure the in- ¥ dorsement of the federation for Sena- tors La Follette and Wheeler, the presidential and vice presidential ; candidates, respectively. of the third | ticket organization, Mr. Gompers . agreed that particular interest at- +tached to the session. The federation would proceed to “consider men and platforms on the basis of their serv- ice, past and promised, to the wage- earners and the great masses of the people of our country,” he said, and promised a vigorous campaign be- fore the electorate for the candidates found suitable. See Lome Hope. “Our great movement is firmly con- : vinced as the result of long practice that the one hope for.the wage-earn- ers on the political field les in being partisan to principles and not to poli- tical organizations. “In the last campaign.” Mr. Gom- pers said, “we supported candidates Tepresenting four political parties. We suported these candidates on their . Proven records. As a result of that | support which we were able to give, and as a result of the support which + the friends of labor were able to give, I there were elected to the last House lof Representatives 170 Progressive members, the great majority of whom +have since justified the faith reposed in them by service rendered. That Wwas a triumphant vindication of the tremendous advantage of non-parti- san activity adding its great weight to the long chain of evidence as to the value of the policy which the . American Federation of Labor has ! for so many vears pursued. v Calix Situation Critieal. “The political situation at the pres- ent moment is extremely critical, ! &nd those who seek to bring about Tesults most advantageous to all our people will be required to exercise their most careful judgment. We are Mmeeting at a time fortunate for that purpose. All of the political conven- tions have been held, candidates nom- (inated and their platforms completed. ! The convention atmosphere has been icleared away and we are in that i period of comparative quiet between “convention time and the time of the “actual opening of campaign work. “We shall seek to take into account all of the facts and to advise the wage earners of our country fairly and intelligently. What final form our action will take in the way of formulating expressions of opinfon 1 am unable to say. That cannot be ,said until the action has been taken. “I may add that however carefui ADOPT ETHICS CODE. Book Publishers Agree to Curb !il-{ representation. Thirty-one book publishing coh- cerns, including members of thé Subseriptien Book Publisher's Asso- clation, Bave adopted resolutions forming in effect a code of othics for the sale of books by subscription, the (Wederal Trade Commission announced today. The concerns were said to rep- Tesent a mujorfty of the subscrip- tions sales dusiness of the country. The resolutions cover every phase of marketing and are designed to protect the public from deceplion as to the editotial connections of books offered for sale, a3 to bindiag and other materials used, extension, re- vision or continuation service offercd and price quotations. Specifically, the indorsing firms agree, among other things, not to sell “esmentially the same set of books” simultaneously under differ- ent titles; to use titles misleading as to contents or which tend to confu- sion with some previously published WOrk: oF to represent the price asked as below the usual price, of that it will soon be increased, when such is not the oase. - The resolutions also condemn the offering of membership In societies, clubs or other organisations - hich do not exist. in connection with book sales, and stipulate that “all testi- monials ehould be genuine and apply to the book or books actually of- fered.” — e and painstaking may pe our study of the sftuation, our (campaign ef- fort, after our course has de- termined, will be as vigorous sible. * "* * ] think I can say with perfect propriety that. we shall en- deavor to demonstrate in this cam- paign that political organizations and politicians genarally, individually as well as in_ groups, cannot with impunity defy the great labor move- ment of our country or refuse ade- quaté and intelligent consideration of the just requitements of the great masses of the people.” USE Sh ampo©o BOBBED HAIR IS EASIER TO SHAMPOO Here's a formula for shampooing bobbed hair that is the easiest sha P00 to apply that you ever heard of. You can bring out the beauty of your hair to its very best advantage by washing it with Canthrox. It makes a very simple, inexpensive shampoo, which ocleanses the hair and scalp theroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and extess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, wholesome feeling. After its use, you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, Is never streaked in appearance and is always bright, eoft and flufty; 20 flufty, In fact, that it looks more abundant than It is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of® Canthrox, which you can get from any good druggist, dissolwe it in a cup of hot watér; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, endugh 8o it is easy to apply it to ali the hair instead of Just the top of the head. pox. | ¥ ROBINSON SEES SENATE DEMOCRATIC CONTROL Leader Says La Follette Strength ‘Will Give Present Minority Advantage. The Democrats are in a good posi- tion to gain additional seats In the Senate In the forthcoming election, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Dem- ocratic leader of the Senate, said in formal statement issued last night. He said thaw it a probable the Democrats would have a majority of :—h( new Senate. His statement fol- ows: “It is clear the all delinquen- cies and inefficiencies of the adminls- tration have been the principal cause for the third ticket. ~And for that reason the La Follette campaign will make great inroads {n the Republican ranks. “It seems true that the La Follette ticket promises to develop consider- able ‘strength, particularly in _the Middle West ‘and the West. How great is dependent In part upon the events of the campaign. | confidentiy believe it will be sufficient in & num- Ler of States which are usually Re- publican to enable the Democrats to carry them.” APPOINTS ATTORNEY.
