WIPE-ON Surfaces
Easy to Keep Clean
No More Hands.and-Knees
Scrubbing!

The wtisk Of a damp cloth over
any WIPE-ON surface Is all 1t takes
to remove the dirt.
The reason? WIPE-ON's long
lasting, protective film keeps dirt
UP on the surface where it's easy
TO remove. Grease and CRIME can't
penetrate can't grind into the
surface to make cleaning difficult.

Despite Congressional refusal to

.AFL Plans to Pay Legislators
SO Friends Can Afford to Serve

Thus, it was proposed and virtu-
ally decided that the league will
help elect and thereafter augment
the salaries of legislators Endorsed
by labor where they have INSULT
cient funds of their own to get by.
The proposal was made by a
high-ranking AFL official in a
written statement presented to the
Labor Leagues administrative
council. He cited two precedents
for the action. His statement said
the AFL's Federation Of Labor in
Wisconsin collected a fund for
almost 80 years, out Of which
regular monthly payments were
made to legislators during legis-
lative sessions. He also said British
labor organizations until recently
had a similar system for their
members in Parliament.
In Milwaukee. however Alfred
G. Goldberg, counsel for the Wis
consin State Federation Of Labor
said he had never heard Of such
q fund.-"

The American Federation of
Labor is considering putting State
Legislators on its payroll so labor
sympathizers can afford the law
making jobs.
This would be part of an ex-
tremely broad plunge into ma
tional polical affairs about to be
launched by Labor's League for
Political Education, the AFL
political arm. Details were worked
out at the AFL Executive Coun-
ellis recent mid-winter session at
Miami, Fla.
League leaders decided that
union members or sympathizers
could have a greater voice, or
even control, in State legislatures
if more such persons could be in
duced to run for office.
1t was recognized, however, that
the pay for State legislators is
so low in most States that labor
people often cannot afford to run
or serve.

St. Johns May Become Branch
.OfHopkins U.; FiscuIRift Barred

Some months ago. college au-
thorities we're notified that fur
ther contributions from the Mel
Ions would be contingent on the
schools success in raising funds
from other sources so as to be-
come self supporting if possible.
"A program was mapped by
members of the college staff but
was not begun because the faculty
could not agree on anything. Pres
ident Kieffer was said to have
felt his post was insecure and the
Board of Visitors never pushed
any program.
CAS- a result, dissension arose
among faculty members. especially
those charged with administrative
duties and this brought about the
designations"
The same source said that some
believe the colleges problem:
could best be solved by having
it become a part of Johns Hop
kins.
A differing point of view, how
ever, was expressed by r. Otis
Jones, president of the st. Johns
Alumni Association, when he told
the local alumni chapter last
night that the board of visitors
will name a committee to seek
q new college president.
