AMERICAN SCALE MEN
OPEN TAREE-DAY MEETING
Proposed Fusion With National As
sociation Important Issue to
Be Discussed.

| With about seventy-fve delegates
| from all over the United States in at
tendance the American Scale Mems
Association opened a three-day con-
vention in the Perpetual Building AS
sociat hall, 18th and E streets north
west. today. Todays sessions were con-
sumed principally with the introduce
ton of delegates and papers to be
considered at subsequent sessions.
out of Level and Out of Plumb Con-
ditions' was the theme of paper by
H. O. Hem of the Strait Scale Com
pany. which proved Of interest to the
delegates this afternoon.
The official program calls for papers
on the preferred number of sections in
track scale, a discussion of some
phase of scales in general, and the
| answering of questions which were de-
posted in the letter box this morning.
One important question which this
convention of the scale men will thresh
out is a proposed amalgamation of the
American Scale Mems Association and
the National Association Of Scale Ex-
perts. A committee Of the latter is ex-
pected to wait upon the American
Scale Mems Association.
Reasons for Amalgamation.
Those familiar with scale conditions
declare there are three important rea-
sons for the proposed amalgamation
They say that railroad officials are
more or less undecided as to which as
sociation to lend their support. and
they cannot see the necessity for two
branches of the same occupa tion or
| trade. 1t is said that prospective mem
| bers are also unable to decide which
one to join. SO the process of organiz-
ing scale men is retarded. Bridgemen.
signalmen. engineers and all branches
of industry or craftsmen are united. it
is pointed out, by those who urge the
fusion of the two associations. and con-
sequently have more influence than the
scale associations can hope to have as
now separated.
Following regular sessions tonight
and tomorrow, and banquet tomorrow
night, the visiting scale men will meet
of weights and measures in the United
States at the bureau of standards.

ures opens it's sessions tomorrow. with

of Commerce as the principal speaker
