LABOR SOLID FOR LA FOLLETTE, IS CLAIMOF GHIEFS Supporters of ‘Fighting Bob' Say He Will Receive 5,000,000 Votes. WASHINGTON, July 17.—Organized labor’s 5,000.000 votes will be swung behind Senator Robert M. La Follette. his campaign , leaders claimed today. V. The American Federation of Labor will sanction, if not openly indorse, the* La Follette candidacy when its executive council meets in Atlantic Cit ythe first of August, according to progressive opinion. Gompers Opposed While Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, is opposed to indirsementaof independent political movements, La Follette chiefs have been informed tne labor body will oppose the candidacies of both Coeiidge and Da\As. and therefore will' at least tacitly indorse the La Follette campaign. This is the opinion of William H. Johnston, chairman of the national progressive committee, as expressed to the United Press today. “The heart of labor Is La Follette," Johnston said. “Os course no leader wishes to be pht into the position of attempting to control the votes of labor, but the entire political career of La Follette has bgen a fight for the rights of laborers both in the factories and on the farms. The men know this and I am sure that the effect of the labor vote Will be felt stronger next November than at any previous time.” 3,000,000 Members There are 3.000,000 members of the American Federation of Labor. There are more than a million more workers not members of that body. These two groups control at least a million more votes through their families—making the estimated present strength of the labor vote about 5,000,000. In previous elections the labor vote has been somewhat nebulous and never has lodged solidly behind one candidate. La Follette leaders feel they can solidify the workers against Davis, whom Johnston describes as “a tool of Wall St.,” and President Coolidge. whom he calls a “reactionary.”

‘Family Flivver ’ Steered Switchman to Art Lost Since Time of Egyptians and Road to Millions

By XEA Service • | 1 AST ST. LOUIS, 111.,—July I Xu 117.—Jim Cummings lost his I 4 1 job—and made a fortune because of it. A litle while back he was “broke” and on the verge of asking a "lift” from his neighbors. Cummings—perhaps he wilPsign his checks “James Earl Cummings” now—lives here with his wife and half dozen children. He Is 33. . _ Until he was thrown out of employment, he was a switchman. Before that he was a truckman. Today he is worth a million and a half. And royalties are beginning to come in right along. And he can thank the old family flivver for his good fortune. “The family was about to go hungry,” Jim explains. "We owned an automobile —one with a record of long service but disreputable aspect. I t figured I might fix it up a bit and sell it.” And in the fixing operation he solved a problem that has been stumping scientists these last 2,000 years. Accidentally he discovered a process for hardening and tempering copper—lost art since the- days of the old Egyptians. In cleaning the gaskets on his car, Cummings use& a chemical mixuire he haphazardly had concocted. Now one of the gaskets was bent and Jim tried to straighten it. But each time he hammered the metal it flew back into its old bent position. V Jim couldn’t undSrsJand it. He told a Yellow-workman about it. The latter, being better acquainted with mechanics, ififormed the perplexed Cummings he had made an important discovery. Exhaustive tests were made at a copper concern. A check for 51,500,000 already has been delivered him, along with a contract calling for royalties on every hundred .pounds of copper treated with his process. “I have been pestered to death

DAVIS RECRUITS ADVISERS FROM - WILSON RANKS Friends of Former President Flock Around Demos cratic Nominee, By United Press • NEW YORK, July 17.—Headquarters of John W. Davis .are^taking on the atmosphere of Woodrow Wilson campaign days. High on the roster of those whose advice he is seeking in mapping his campaign and writing his keynotespech of acceptance are men who worked in the van of Wilson’s fights for the White House in 1912 and 1916. Colonel House There ifc Ffank Polk, a close adviser ofv*the late Ex-President and Under secretary of State in the Wilson administration. There is Colonel E. M. House, 1 for years an intimate confidant, friend and counselor of the war President. -There is Gordon Auchinclosa, son-in-law of Colonel ■** Davis is to speiTfl thd next ten days at the summer home of Charles, Dana Gibson, one cf the closest friends of Colonel House. Norman Davis, who up to the time of Wilson’s death, was one of his closest friends, is in constant touch with the Democratic nominee. Iqenry Morgenthau, one of the original apostles of the Wilson campaign in 1912 is a Davis adviser. Daniel Roper, -head of the Internal Revenue Bureau during the Wilson administration and for many years political adviser of Wilson is a leader now in the Davis campaign conferences. % There appears little doubt that these men will have a telling effect upon Mr. Davis’ annunciation of his government principles. The fact that most of them, including Dk'vis himself, have lcrng sponsored American entrance into the League oi Nations already has aroused widespread interest in how the candidate will treat this subject in his forthcoming acceptance speech. 1 Touch in Speech In the only semi political speech Davis has made to date—one delivered~'Wednesday night to a group of friends Who met to welcome him at his Locust Valley (L. I.) home — there was a genuine Wilson touch to his utterance. “I believe,” he said, “all free government comes from the '‘people up and not from any source to the people. This country is and will remain what the great masses of people care to make it. We have thrust our all on the principle that the safety of this country lies in the keeping of its itidivTSual citizen’s. “If we begin man for man'ani woman for woman to do our duty at home, we can safely trust that the labor of the masses will show itself in the happiness of the home.”

Local motorists have an opportunity to benefit by a plan evolved by the Hoosier Motor Club, providing they are willing to cooperate as motorists are In other cities, Stoops said. “Local motorists when asked for advice should explain any points in connection with traffic regulations which strangers would not be likely to know,” he said. “Strange motorists should take into consideration the matter of parking and should aim to direct the tourists to somp point where parking his car will not interfere with parking plans >of local business men and shoppers,” Stoops said. toints about speed limit, prohibited left turns should also accompany directions. It is not merely a matter of offering a which the strangers Tjrill learn to return, but of forestalling more stringent local regulations which can be avoided by discouraging unnecessary congestion. Stoops said.
