LABOR TO CONSIDER
POLITICAL PARTY
A. F. of L. Chiefs to Hold Pre-
Iiminary Discussion Be-
fore Main Meeting.
By the Associated Press.


Ell PASO, November 13.-Chief-
tains Of the American Federation of
Labor turned today to consideration
of political policy. The meeting was
the first of series intended to
evolve for submission to the con-
vention a special report touching
upon possible relationships between
the federation and any new party
movement which may grow out of
the presidential campaign just
closed
President Samuel Gompers pre-
sided at the initial session. Lessons
for labor from the presidential cam
paign were planned to form a large
part of the final report Of the meet
ings.
The report probably will be pre-
sented next Tuesday. The program
for Monday. the opening day, is
the presidents annual message.
Samuel Gompers There.
President Gompers. "A. and in high
fettle for the forty-fourth annual
convention of the federation. ar
rived yesterday with hundreds of
State and local leaders from all sec
tions of the East and North. He
views the forthcoming gathering as
one OF the most important IN the MS
tory of the organization.
Departmental meetings carried
over into today's pre-convention pro-
gram several questions which may
reach the convention floor. Fore
most among them was the action of
the building trades department yes
terday in formally demanding sus-
pension from the American Fedora
tion of Labor of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners. with
a membership throughout the coun-
try of some 350,000 men. Proposals
calculated to dispose of the matter
amicably continued today after
night of sounding described as mot
so very satisfactory"
The suspension was demanded by
a vote Of the building trades depart
ment convention as disciplinary
move against the carpenters for their
refusal to accept an arbitrator's
award in a jurisdictional dispute with
the Sheet Metal Workers and the
subsequent withdrawal of the wood
craftsmen from the building trades
department.

MITCHELL TO MEET
ELLIOTT AT TENNIS

Robert Elliott and Duley Mitchell
in the junior schoolboy tennis cham
pionship tournament yesterday at
Chevy Chase, when they each dis
posed of pair of opponents. They
will meet today at o'clock at Chevy
Chase. =
Elliott has proven by far the best
racketer in the tourney this year,
although there are many who claim
that Duley will give him a tough
fight today. The former has shared
ten matches and has not dropped one
set in his last five matches. Yes
terday Elliott pointed the way to
Jimmy Mitchell. G., 6--4, and then
downed Barr, -1O-S, 3-6, 7-5.
Competition of the keenest sort
developed in the D. Mitchell-Sturte-
want match, which the former won,
SO. 6-4, rs.
Prior to his match with Sturtevant
Duley Mitchell tackled a 7--5 and Ct
defeat on Kip Callan. II. Ii. Barr
disposed of j. Edmontson, 10-S, 3-6
and IS, before he fell before Elliott,
while Sturtevant took the measure of
Noel Ga and 81, before he encoun-
tered Mitchell.
Entries for the tournament this
year broke all records, there being
Sc youngsters who started play. Otto
Glockler, tennis coach at Chevy
Chase, was in charge of the affair,
and it was mainly due to his teach
ings that Sturtevant, who is but Is
years old, gave such a good account
of himself.

has been made. II all the golfers in
America today would start out this
week with fixed determinatio to
use a thrce-quarters backswing on
wood ShotS-or even half back
swing-I venture that scores the
country over would immediately i'm
prove by 10 to 20 strokes.
Overswing is the ruinous fault,
because overswinging cannot be ac-
complished except through arm
reaching. When the arms reach up
and out--stra ssHg away from the
body-the club is drawn out of its
oblique plane and, in addition, the
wrists loosen because the wrists can
not possibly stand the pull that is ex-
erted against them when the arms
reach out so far. Usually, too, the

l put it down as one OF the great
est OF goIf secrets that not one play
er III thousands really knows where
the top OF the full swing stops and
where ovcrswinging begins.
Overswinging Is the great common
fault because II is so stealthy. The
player can slice, and have an idea
what is causing him to do it, He can
hit stiff balls and know that he Is
putting body lunge into the throw
Of the clubhead. He can shoot 'em

aScribe it to faulty grip or a poor
sense of direction. But. just hint TO
him that he constantly overswines
and right there you discover he knows
more about the correct length OF the
backswing than might ever have been
suspected. To suggest overswinging
is to bring a glare To the eye Of the
golf duffcr almost every time.
As I review the years 1 have spent
with struggling golfers it stands out
III my mind that oyeTSwingiuS is the
hardest fault to cure. | perhaps
should say this the other way round
that knowledge of the correct
length of the backswiag is the tough
est lesson to learn.
This is because the correct back
swing is really short. It is much
shorter--very much Shnrtcr-than the
ordinary player suspects before he
has learned how short il is. The back
swing is logically the great deceiver,
because the average player. seeking
to swat the little poCk marked imp of
Satan, naturally draws the club back
as far as he can in order to hit it as
hard as it is possible for him to hit
il. Why not? The farther back the
club goes the greater its sweep. ap-
pears TO be the rule.
But il is not exactly true that the
sweep of the clubhead is what takes

advantage in the first set Of the title

style of play and resorted to a cross

on she could do little with her op-
