struggle, 1t is recommended that our partisan political campaign committee, with the cooperation and approval of the executive council, be directed to devise 6 plan and pre- cedure that will accomplish that end.
 '"Thls extensive of our nom partisan political procedure will not only attract to ourselves the sym pathetic support of all progressively minded groups and Influences, but will enable the wage earners of our land to direct the political tendencies and activities of our nation, our states and municipalities without the necessity of concerning ourselves with the coming or going or re- alignment Of any political party or group"

those not in complete accord with the existing major political parties" the report suggested. 4...-ts= .
 This a difficulty that must be overcome and legislation is needed so that independent political move- ment may function effectively when- over the need for such may arise"
 Tt is essential" the report said, that the partisan political ma ehlnery of the American Federation of Labor must be constantly active In support of men for public offices who are truly responsive to the in- terests of our people and in labor in particular, as well to be constantly on guard that those having received labor's support will Do true to the promises made.
 '"The attainment of this object de- mands that the non partisan polit- cal campaign committee created dur ing the recent national presidential and congressional campaign be maintained on a permanent basis, instructed to carry on their work continuously.
 Tt is. therefore. recommended, that our national non-partisan poli- tlcal campaign committee he charged with the duties of carrying out this suggested procedure"
 Other Recommendation
 The report embodied a number Of other specific recommendations for 'increased and broadened activity in the futnrc," including particular at tenton to the political organization of women in the trade union moVe- ment, and plan "whereby forward looking groups composed of per sons who are not trade unionists may be enlisted in labor's non partisan political campaigns"
 Tn the pursuit of an honorable course to prOtect and promote the rights and interests of the great masses of our people, wage earners included" the report said, i've have been and are less concerned with partisanship than the achievements of practical results.

political party domination now as at i any time in the history Of our movement" | Concerning the results of the cam paign, the report says:
 The number Of congressmen elected with labor's endorsement to- tals ITO. the same as the number of congressman elected with labor's en- dorsement in 1922. Of these, 125I are democrats, 40 are republicans, 3 are farmer -laborites and is an in- dependent. The results in, the sem ate have not been definitely ascer- tained at this moment because of the uncertainty as to the results in some states and pending replace ments in other states.
 Tt Is evident, however, that la bors non-partisan political campaign insofar as congressional elections are concerned, in spite of exceptional difficulties of presidential year, thor oughly justify the assertion that la- Dor achieved signal success in the furtherance of the interests of the wage earners and Of the people of the country generally.
 "The non-partisan political inhu- cnce thus maintained in tho popular branch Of government of the United States assures the people that what ever reactionary proposals may at any timet emanate from tho execu- tive branch of government shall not find ready response and confirma- tion in the legislative branch of government.
 Thereby the interests of the peo. pie in general and of labor in par ticular are largely safeguarded and the opportunity is provided for the realization of many of the hopes and aspirations for progressive legisla- ton for the masses of the people.
 Reviewing and summarizing the experiences of tfIe recent president tial and congressional campaign and the partisan procedure follows, there have come to our attention weaknesses that must be eliminated and difficulties that must be over- come if we are to make our govern ment more responsive to the will and the needs of the great masses of our people and not submissive to i the interests Of property alone" 1 The report here mentioned sim plifying the ballot and independent movements.

kept in 10-inch pots.
The plants are in the care OF Peter
Rethroe, superintendent OF the estate,
who has been in charge Of them many
years. He assisted in their importa-
ton from all parts OF the world, many
of the finest from England and South
America.
The collection was started by Mr..
Wilson. who died several years ago.
He was a millionaire real estate opera
tor and orchids was his hobby.
His wife shared his enthusiasm Tor
the flowers and, for many years, both
spent fortunes and used the services OF
hundreds of men in gathering rare bios
soras in all parts OF the world
Expeditions Sent
The Wilson's financed scores OF or
child gathering expeditions and retain
ed experts in South and Central Amer
lea, Borneo and Asia to seek specl-
mems for them.
At one time the collection consisted
OF 10000 blossoms. That was early in
war time when the collection was
housed in the Wilson town house in
Philadelphia. Because of the shortage

COUPLE SLEEP IN SAME BED
BUT IN DIFFERENT TOWNS
They Also Pay Taxes and Vote in
Different Places.

CHICAGO.-Although they reside
in the same house, Mr.. and Mrs. vii
liam F. Jones do not live in the same
town. Their home is located on the
imaginary line dividing the towns OF
haywood and Bellwood. Curiously
enough the bedroom is directly over
the line. so that half the bed is in Bell
wood and the other half in haywood.
Mr.. Jones, as the official head OF
the family, sleeps on the haywood
side OF the bed, and Mrs. Jones on the
Bellwood side. Thus the family
which pays taxes in both villages, has
vote in each.
For a long time the Jones family
has known it resided in the United
States, the state OF Illinois and the
county OF Cook, but it required the
services of a surveyor and a search
through the records TO determine that
the family resided in one house anc
two towns.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The boil weevil
characterized at an Interstate Com

factor that had curtaied the earning
power Of the railroads through cutting
into the purchasing power OF the

Mr. Bugg, who was the first witness
