BOY SCOUTS APPROVED.
Special Investigation Committee of A.
F. of L. Makes Report.

Boston, Nov. 21-Approval OF the
Boy Scouts of America was expressed
in communication sent last night to
Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, by special
investigation committee of the state
branch.
The investigation was the outcome of
the action of the executive council of
the state branch of the federation, which
at its meeting a month ago condemned
the boy scout movement because of the
published version of an address by a
scout leader in Camk. idge. This ver-
sion was construed by officials OF the
state branch as showing a ,stile atti-
tude by scout leaders toward labor and
resolutions were adopted calling up Ia
Dor men to forbid their sons to affiliate
with the boy scouts.
Scout leaders claimed that the re-
port of the Cambridge meeting was in
correct. A committee Of the state branch
of the American Federation of Labor.
consisting of Martin T. Joyce, secretary
treasurer. Thomas Gerraughty and Will
liam c. Ward, thereupon made an inves-
tigation and last night sent their re.
port to President Gompers. The re-
port in part said:
"We find that the leaders of the boy
scout movement of this vicinity are men
of sterling character and have the well
fare of the boys future at heart; they
have invited representatives of the trade
union movement to take an active part
in helping them to make better men and
citizens of the boys"
The committee also stated that it
would present recommendation to the
December meeting of the executive com
mittee that union officials keep in touch
with the boy scouts movement to pre-
vent its being directed towards militar
ism and to foster closer and symSathet-
ic attitude toward organized labor.

AN ULTIMATUM
TO MEXICANS
IN CONFERENCE
Secretary Lane Tells Them on What Con-
ditions the American Troops Will Be
Withdrawn from Mexico.

Atlantic City, n. j., Nov. 81. - The
American commissioners to-day gave the
Mexican commissioners what is under
stood to be the last opportunity for an
amicabe settlement of the questions
that have arisen because of Carranza 5
failure to provide adequate protection
for life and property along the interna-
tional border.
In Joint session Secretary of the In
terror Lane, chairman of the American
commission informed Carranza's repre-
sentatives that the American punitive
expedition would be withdrawn within
reasonable time and under conditions
that would not impair the dignity of the
American government or leave unpro-
tected the territory just south of the
border, now patrolled by Americans. In
cidcnt to such withdrawal, he outlined
the manner in which the American gov
ernment was prepared to guard the long
frontier and to punish marauding bands.
How Luis Cabrera and his colleagues
of the Mexican commission received what
is regarded as the last word of the
American commissioners, is not expected
to be known until the session ends this
afternoon.

lima.
Leaders of the Democratic party in
Vermont are at loss to understand why
Vermont man was not appointed to
succeed Mr.. kelleher. There apparently
was no dissension in the party and the
leaders are said to have been practically
unanimous in supporting the candidacy
of one man. The candidates for the ap-
pointment were Jerry +. O'Neill of st.

TWO LEASES TO SAME HOTEL.
So Holder of Later Lease at Burlington
Vacated 1t.

Burlington, Nov. 2l.--1. A. Sherrard,
who arrived in this city Thursday even
ing, Nov. o, with leases in his pocket ot

signed up by him in Boston, has resigned

day with his family, who accompanied
him here to make their home, for his
home in Boston. Mr.. Sherrard resigned
his rights to the leases because OF the
fact that lease to both hotels was al
ready held by Robert f. Collamer, man
ager of the Vermont since its opening,
and because the leases were made out to
Mr.. Sherrard by Mr.. Powell after those
which Mr.. Collamcr holds were passed.
II will be remembered that the licenses
to sell Intoxicating liquors at both the
Hotel Vermont and Van Ness house were
granted by the license commissioners of
this city to Max l.. Powell. being grant
ed at the time the other licenses were
granted in May. On the 18th of May
they were revoked by the commissioners,
il having been brought 10 their attention
by Rev. Clifford II, Smith superintendent
of the Vermont Anti Saloon league, that
Mr. Powell had no legal right to hold
either license because of the fact that at
the time they were granted he was a
state senator.
In the meantime, T. f. Krumbholz had
leased the two hotels on May |. Mr.
Krumbholdz had arrived and taken over
the two hotels when the fact that the
licenses at both hotels were not valid
was brought to the attention of the COM
missioners. The bars at both hotels were
closed as soon as the matter was brought
before the commissioners and the licenses
were revoked. Mr.. Collamer then made
application for licenses at both hotels,
hearing was held by the commissioners
in the city court room on his petition
and the licenses were granted to him.
But in order to obtain the licenses he
first had to be the proprietor and the
lease to both hotels was made over to
him by Mr., Krumbholz. Mr.. Collamer
still holds the lease, which was in his
possession when Mr. Sherrard signed the
ease which he supposed gave him the
control of the two hotels

HOSTILE TO INJUNCTION.
American Federation of Labor Goes on
Record in Matter.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 2l-The organ

day avowed extreme hostility to the writ
OF injunction as a means of stopping a
strike First, u resolution was adopted
unanimously at the morning session OF
the convention OF the American Fed.
Grafton OF Labor, urging organized labor
everywhere to make the injunction ques.
tion "the paramount issue in all of their
future political activities"
A more radical step was taken at the
afternoon session when the committee on
the executive councils report took up
the feature of the report dealing with
the decision OF tho Massachusetts, SUI
preme court classifying labor as proper
ty. The committee submitted at the con-
vention unanimously adopted recon-
mendation that "any Injunction dealing
with the relationship of employer and
employe, and based on the dictum that
labor is property, be disregarded, let the
consequences be what they may"
The committees report follows:
''lt seems to be settled purpose of
interest antagonistic to the freedom of
men and women who labor to persuade
and then use the judiciary and miscon-
strued constitutional guarantees and
thereby nullify legislative enertments,
so as tc leave but one remedy and we,
therefore. recommend that any injune-
tions dealing with the relationship of
employer and employe, and based on the
dictum, labor is property be wholly and
absolutely disregarded as usurpation, and
disregarded, let the consequences be what
they may. Such decisions as the one
rendered by the supreme court of the
state OF Massachusetts have their roots
in Glass interests; it is usurpation and
tyranny. Freedom came to man be-
cause he believed that resistance to ty-
ranny is obedience to God. As it came,
SO it must be maintained. Kings could
be and were disobeyed and some time
deposed. In cases of this kind, judges
must be disobeyed and should be i'm
peached.'
