Will Urge Democrats Also
to Add Anti-Injunc-
ton Plank.

CHICAGO. June I3.-The executive
council Of the American Federation OF
labor went into session today 10 for
mulate demands to be presented to the
Republican national convention. II will
insist on a strong anti-injunctiCn plank.
President Gompers frankly admits that
he will call upon the Democrats at Den
yer 10 adopt the same paragraph
1T is uncomfortable, said Gompers.

dollar or two saved. or who have after
many years OF pinching economy gain

such men should lbe placed in the same

Yet the courts have decided that they

they organize and attempt 10 protect
themselves"
In reply to the charges made by James

ufacturers' Association. that he is q
Democrat. Gompers charges Van Cleave
with being a mental vacuum"
Il will not reply TO his charge by
abusing him." said Gompers. but
will say that his assertion that I am
a Democrat is untrue. I belong to

the energy al my command 10 better
the conditions OF labor.

Republican and a very ardent one. at
that. But since I voted for General

Cannon May Withdraw,
Declares Mr.. FOrdnev

SAGINAW, Mich. June l3.-Congress-
man Fordney, who has been selected to
second the nomination Of Speaker Can
non for the Presidency, in an interview
here. intimated that the name Of the
Illinois man may not be presented TO
the Chicago convention after all.
Fordney interprets the resolutions Of
the Republican State convention as hav-
ing no binding effect upon the district
delegates, and hold that Michigan's
delegation TO the national convention is
"uninstructed." Fordney has been in
close touch with Cannon, consequently
his words are interpreted as meaning
that the Illinois man Is considering the
advisability OF Withdrawing from the
contest.

Light summer clothes are more easily
damaged than winter fabrics. That's good
and sufficient reason why they should be
washed with Fels-Naptha in cold or luke
warm water.
In washing with Fels-Naptha there is
no boiling or cooking to weaken the deli
cate fbreS, no hard-rubbing to fray them,
no injurious chemicals to eat holes in them.
But there are other reasons. 1t is far
easier on the woman who. does the wash
ing. There is no hard-rubbing, no blister
ing fire, no scalding suds to steam the face
and redden the hands.
FelS-Naptha soap does its work best in
cold or lukewarm water, dissolving the
dirt SO it can be washed away with a simple
rinsing. Sounds easy and comfortable,
doesn't it, And it is just as easy and COM
Portable as it sounds if you use Fels-Naptha
the Fels-Naptha way.
Follow the directions on the
