ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. l.
The first official step toward en-
dorsement of the presidential can
didacy of Senator Robert M. La
Toilette was taken here today at
: the opening session of the execu-
tive council of the American Fede-
ration of Labor.
A report recommending that the

for the independent ticket and
against the two ajor parties was
Offered by the special political
committee.
This committee is headed by Sam
uel Gompers, dictator of labor poll
cies in the past, and the weight of
its suggestion is so great it is reas-
enable to believe it may prevail as
the decision of the entire council.
Consideration of the report is the
first business before the council of

here to advise it's 100000 voting
members as to which political can

of labor if they are elected.
Final decision of the council is
not expected before Sunday.
There is prospect of a tiff in the
session over the La Toilette endorse
ment. Two of the members are op-
posed to such Il step and believe
the federation should follow a
:" hands OFF, policy in the cam
paign.
The report of the political com
mittee gives complete sanction to
the domestic. policies of La Toilette,
but it is admitted his foreign poll
cies do not coincide with the fed
eration's desires. La Toilette is
against the League of Nations and
the World Court, while the Fedora
tion strongly favors them. The com
mittee, however, takes the position
that domestic policies are upper
most in the campaign and therefore
the dissension on international mat
ters may be disregarded.

WASHINGTON, Aug. There
was no doubt in the minds of party
leaders today that the military g de-
fense test'' proposed for September
IL, has assumed startling political
Significance.
In taking /; position. squarely be-
hind his running mate, Gov. Bryan
of Nebraska, regarding the mobiiz
alton of civilian and industrial units,
John w. Davis, Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, hurled the ques-
tion into the campaign, leaders
agree. %
With that conviction, they seek
to gauge the extent to which the is
sue would have a bearing ON the
November elections. They see the
possibility of fierce controversy
between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties involving military pre-
paredness ON one hand and militar-
ism and warlike demonstrations, cal
culated to disturb world peace, on
the other.
Both President Coolidge and Mr..
Davis are now on record on the is
sue. Senator La Toilette, Indepen-
dent presidential candidate, has not
expressed himself on the question,
although he always opposed any
thing smacking of militaristic move
ments. sttfsss

DeRocrats are contrasting Presi-
dent Coolidge s rebuke of pacifist

plain that geAeral mobilization is
sought.
While general mobilization in

the grave concern that such action
by an European nation would cause,
