last ST. LOUIS, IlL,-July
= 17.-Jim Cummings lost his
L. job-and made a fortune
because of it.
A little while back he was
broke" and on the verge of ask
ing lift" from his neighbors.
Cunmings-perhaps he willfsign
his checks James Earl Cum
rnings" now-liyes here with his
wife and half dozen children. He
is 80.
Until he was thrown out Of en-
ploEment, he was a switchman.
Before that he was a truckman.
Today he is worth a million and
a half. And royalties are begin
ming to come in right along.
And he. can thank the old fam
lily fivver for his good fortune.
1.-THE family was about to go
hungry" Jim explains. 1--WE
owned an automobile-one with
record Of long service but dis
reputable aspect. I figured 1
might fix it up a bit and sell it."
And in the fixing operation he
solved a problem that has been
stumping scientists these last
1900 years. Accidentally he dis
covered a process for hardening
and tempering copper-lost art
since the days of the old Egyp-
-tians.
In cleaning the gaskets on his
car, Cummings used a chemical
mixture he haphazardly had con-
cocted. Now one of the gaskets
was bent and Jim tried to
straighten it. But each time he
hammered the metal it flew back
into its old bent position.
Jim couldn't understand it. He
told a fellow-workman about it.
The latter, being better acquainted
with mechanics. Informed the per-
picked Cummings he had made
an important discovery.
Exhaustive, tests were made at
a copper concern. A check for
$500, 600 already has been deliv-
cred him, along with a contract
calling for royalties on every hun
bred pounds Of copper treated
with his process.

Say He viii Receive
100000 Votes

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Organ-
lied labor's 100000 votes will be
swung behind Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette. his campaign leaders
claimed today.
The American Federation of La
Dor viii sanction, if not openly in
i dorse, the La Toilette candidacy

Atlantic Cit ythe first of August, ac-

GOmpers Opposed
While Samuel Gompers, head Of
the American Federation Of Labor, is
opposed to indirsementAof independ-
ent political movements, La Fol-
lette chiefs have been informed the
labor BODY viii oppose the candi-
dacies of both Coolidge and DAVIS,
and therefore viii at least tacitly in
dorse the La Toilette campaign.
This is the opinion of William II.
Johnston. chairman of the national
progressive committee, as expressed
to the United Press today.
fsThe- heart Of labor is La Toilette,
Johnston said. "Of course no leader
wishes to be put into the position
. of attempting to control the votes
OF labor but the entire political
career of La Toilette has been a
fight for the rights of laborers both
+ in the factories and on the farms.
The men know this and I am sure
that the effect of the labor vote viii
+ be felt stronger next November than
at any previous time"
100000 Members
There are 900, 900 members of the
American Federation of Labor. There
are more than a million more work
ers not members of that body. These
4 two groups control at least a million
more votes through their families
making the estimated present
strength Of the labor vote about
. 8 900 600.
In previous elections the labor vote
+. has been somewhat nebulous and
never has lodged solidly behind one
candidate. La Toilette leaders feel
they can solidify the workers against
. Davis, whom Johnston describes as
"a tool of Wall St." and President
Coolidge. whom he calls a ''reac-
tionary-"

DAVIS RECRUITS
ADVISERS FROM
WILSON RANKS
Friends of Former President
Flock Around Demo-
cratic Nominee.

DV CHftEUf 4 pSo%
NEW YORK, July 17.-Head-
quarters of John w. Davis, are TAX
ing on the atmosphere of Woodrow
Wilson campaign. days.
High on the roster of those whose
advice he is seeking in mapping his
campaign and writing his Keynote
speech Of acceptance are men who
worked in the van of Wilson's fights
for the White House in 1912 and
1916.
Colonel House
There is Frank Polk, a close, adj
wiser ofythe late Ex-President and
Under Secretary Of State in the Will
son administration. There is Col
onel E. NJ. House. for years an init
mate confdant, friend and coun-
selor of the war President. There
is Gordon Auchincloss, son-in-law
of Colonel House.M
I Davis is to spend the next ten days
at the summer home of Charles Dana
Gibson, one Of the closest friends
of Colonel House. Norman Davis,
who UP to the time OF Wilson's
death, was one of his closest friends,
is in constant touch with the Dem
ocratic nominee.
Henry Morgenthau. one Of the
original apostles of the Wilson cam
paign in 1912 is Davis adviser.
Daniel Roper, head of the Internal
Revenue Bureau during the Wilson
administration and for many years
political adviser of Wilson is a lead
er now in the Davis campaign con-
ferences.
There appears little doubt that
these men will have a telling effect
upon Mr.. Davis annunciation of his
government principles. The fact
that most Of them, including Davis
himself, have long sponsored Amerl-
can entrance into the League OF Ma
tons already has aroused wide
spread interest in how the candidate
will treat this subject in his forth
coming acceptance speech. 2
Touch in Speech
In the only semi political speech
Davis has made to date-one de-
Hvered "WEDNESDAY night to a group
of friends Who met to welcome him
at his Locust Valley q. T. home
there was a genuine Wilson touch to
his utterance.
IT believe" he said, "all free gov
eminent comes from the people up
and not from any source dowa to
the people. This country is and viii
remain what the great masses of peo-
pie care to make it. We have thrust
our all on the principle that the
safety OF this country lies in the
keeping Of its Individual citizens.
If we begin man for man AMI
woman for woman to do our duty at
home, we can safely trust that the
labor of the masses will show Itself
in the happiness of the home"
