LABOR TO PLAN
PARTY POLICIES
FOR CAMP AIGN
Chiefs Meet Saturday; No
Formal Endorsements
Expected.
BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The
executive committee of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor will meet
at Atlantic City Saturday, its most
important business to decide the
federation's national political policy
for the coming elections.
The committee is expected to
define labor's stand on legislation
which will be before Congress next
winter, including the anti-injunc-
ton bill sponsored by Senator
Norris of Nebraska to replace that
introduced by Senator Shipstead of
Minnesota. Plans also will be laid
forlthe coming national convention
at New Orleans in November.
Four years ago the committee in
dorsed the Progressive independent
candidacy of Senator r. M. La
Toilette and Burton K. Wheeler.
This choice caused some diSsension,
although the majority approved it.
If the federation makes a choice
this year, it will be between the
candidates of the two great parties,
Alfred E. Smith and Herbert Hoover.
It is understood, however, that no
formal choice may be made.
For one thing, labor may want to
wait for the acceptance speeches of
the two candidates later in August
to clarity and amplify the plat
forms. Declarations on eighteen
specific subjects were asked of the
two conventions by federation rep
resentatives, including anti-injunc-
ton legislation, amendment of the
Sherman ANTITRUST act, continu-
alton Of restrictive immigration,
legislation to rehabilitate the coal
industry, advance planning of pub
lie works to lessen unemployment,
ratification of the child labor
amendment of the Volstead act to
permit 2.75 per cent beer, opposi-
ton to industrial CONSUMPTION and
others.
The Democrats replied with thir-
teen planks, and the Republicans
with seven. Federation officials have
said, however, that neither platform
is specific enough, particularly on
the anti-injunction matter. Both
platforms ignored the demand for
modification of the Volstead act,
which labor has championed for
years.
For another thing, the lines of
prejudice, racial, religious and po-
litical, which. are expected to cut
through the campaign, cut as deeply
in the labor movement as else
where

For NEA Service

"CtWIM FOR HEALTH" is good
~ slogan.
But if you really want to be a
good swimmer, you must watch your
health habits.
We are often asked what we give
up for swimming. We do not give
up much because we have been
trained for swimming for so long a
time now that we have never gotten
started on many of the things we
should not have.
Sweets are forbidden. We never
eat candy. We seldom eat any
sweets at all.
Salads, all green vegetables, lots
of milk and all the health-giving
foods are on our diet. But acids
and sweets are forbidden.
Ban Alcohol, Tobacco
Smoking is hard on the swimmer.
It shortens his breath. And OF
course if one takes up swimming
seriously, he will never drink. For
alcohol might have very injurious
effects on one.
Early to bed is another rule that
a swimmer should take to heart For
plenty of rest is one of the first re-
quirements.
We dance, ride, play golf and hike
miles on end, when we are not
swimming. For every bit of exercise
that helps develop muscles, adds
Just that much to swimmers en-
durance.
But the real secret of health is
regularity. We run on much the
same schedule year in and year out,
when on vacation and when train
ing.
Regularity Important
Meals at a certain time, with no
mincing between them. To bed at
the same hour and up on schedule
also.
We have some sort Of exercise for
the same number of hours each day.
And we swim every day Of our lives
when a pool can be found handy.
For swimming is matter OF
habit, Just as everything else. You
get rusty on it, just as on a game
of bridge or dancing.
So, in closing, we would like to re-
peat, Learn how to swim and let
your speed and endurance be mat
ter of growth"
Then we would like to add,
watch your health habits for, just
as regularity in your stroke means
success to your swimming, so regu-
larity in schedule means the maxi
mum of health and strength"

MRS. SCRIPTS
LOSES IN SUIT
over ESTATE
Federal Judge Refuses Plea
for Accounting at
Cincinnati.
By United Press

By United Press
CINCINNATI, July 25.-Federal
Judge Smith w. Hickenlooper today
ruled against Mrs. Josephine
Scripps of Miramar, Cal, in her
suit for an accounting from the es-
tate of the late E. w. ScrippS and
Robert P. Scripps.
Mrs. ScrippS as executrix Of the
estate of her husband, the late
James G. ScrippS, had sued for an
accounting of monies and other
property alleged to have been due
her husband under what she claims
to have been partnership contract
between him and E. w. Scripps.
The suit was tried here last April
Mrs. Scripps was represented by
Charles Evans Hughes, former Sec
rotary Of State, and John Weld
Peck of Cincinnati.
The Scripps estate and Robert P
ScrippS were represented by former
Secretary of War Newton Baker.
Not Problem of Sympathy
During the trial, Robert Scripps,
in answer to Mrs. Scripps' claims
of partnership between her husband
and E. w. ScrippS, said no partner
ship agreement existed between his
father and brother and that nc
claims for monies alleged to be due
Mrs. Scripps, therefore, we're made
until 1926, five years after her hus-
bands death in 1921, and ten years
after E. w. Scripps made a final
payment of $34o, 900 to James under
their working arrangement.
Judge Hickenlooper held, in effect
that it is every mans right to dis
pose Of his property as he sees fl
and that courts should not be
swayed by feelings of sympathy OF
impulse in dealing with such cases
The courts opinion said:
"The general trend of public
thought favors an equal distribu-
ton Of the parent among his chill
dren and grandchildren, and where
one child obviously secures the great
bulk of decedent'S estate the natu-
raj impulse Of all, including the
courts, is to favor a more equal dis
tribution.
But courts must not be led astray
by feelings of sympathy or impulse.

of his property as he may see fit
