lRv Associated Press.l

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. b. An appeal to 30,000 unions of the American Federation of Labor was framed today by the executive council of that organization urging immediate organization of campaign headquarters and personnel, accumulation of funds and mobilization of forces in support of Senators La Follette' and Wheeler and such congressional, state and local candidates in the fall election as the federation may designate. The council in annual session here also adopted a hands-off policy to- ward the national defense day issue, Advocating that since such day had been officially set, labor should Join in observing it.
 Reports of differences between the uoltical committee of the federation and other so-called La Toilette groups" brought from the council a statement intended to clairify its position. This statement was a warning to all other organizations that the American Fed eration of Labor had assumed leader- ship in the choice of congressional can didates for labor to support and would brook no interference.
 Statement Challenge
 
 The statement was almost a chal- lenge, concluding as it did, with these words:
 ''We will announce our list of ac- ceptable candidates for the senate and inc house. We are not concerned and will not be guided by what Morris Hill quit of the socialist party or any other group leaders may do.
 If they run counter ot our cam paign that is their responsibility. We will not subordinate our program to that of anyone else"
 The executive council authorized Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to reply to William B. Wilson of Washington former secretary of labor, and to the United Mine Workers, who were re- porte dto have telegraphed criticism the failure of the executive committee to withhold action on the LaFollette- Wheeler indorsement until after John w. Davis, the democratic nominee, head made his speech of acceptance.
 Telegram Was Late
 A spokesman for Mir. Gompers de- clared that a previous telegram, in which Mir. Wilson requested that ac- tion be deferred, was not received until last Sunday, day after the in- dorsements were recorded.
 Tomorrow the council probably will continue with politics.
 The council received definite assur- ance today that General Plutarco Elias Gales, president elect of Mexico, had crossed the Texas border and was speeding here by. rail in the hope of q conference.

Chinese blue are much in evidence al
though you may choose any of the
pastel shades and be quite within the
mode.
Colors this year are as variable as
the modes. One sees Pan Green
that delightful, refreshing green so
suggestive of Spring - much in the
soft silks that are for southern wear.
Brown has become a standard shade
quite as much as blue or black.

in general is the straight line with
occasional introductions of the circu-

much used.
Fifty inches is the favored length
for the twill coats for general wear.
These coats are effectively trimmed

worn over there, but it remained for
Alice Terry to come back from Africa
and introduce the vogue of Tunisian
fashions as they are worn by the
ladies of the harems.
Miss Terry brought back lovely
gonduras of silk, cashmere and rich
embroideries. These are the top gar
ment of the Arabian woman--long
and straight. With each Of the gon-
duraS there is pair of painted
wooden shoes, with straps of velvet
heavily incrusted with gold embroid-
cries. These are part of the costume
affected by the women OF the smart
harems, and are decidedly different
from our mules and bedroom slippers.
Then there are burnouses of black,
French blue and SphahI red, all elab-
orately embroidered in gold. which
make gorgeous evening wraps. The
ordinary wraps that have adorned
