railroad labor has become scarce since

APPROVAL OF
BOY SCOUTS IS
RESULT OF inquiry

Boston, Nov. 20.-Approval of the
Scouts of America was expressed in a
communication sent tonight to Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, by special in
vestigatins committee of the state
branch. The investigation was the out
come of action of the executive coun-
Gil of the state branch of the Fedora
ton which at it's meeting a month ago
condemned the Boy Scouts movement
because of the published version of an
address by scout leader in Cam
bridge. The version was construed by
officials of the state branch as showing
a hostile attitude by scout leaders to-
ward union labor and resolutions were
adopted calling upon labor men to for
bid 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,
consisting of Martin T. Joyce, secre-
tarytreasurer. Thomas Gerraughty
and William O. Ward, thereupon made
an investigation and tonight sent their
port in part said:
eve find that the leaders Of the Bay
Scout movement of this vicinity are
men of sterling character and have
the welfare OF the boys future at
heart: they have invited representa-
tives 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 a recommendation to the
December meeting of the executive
council that union officials keep in
touch with the Boy Scout movement to
prevent its being directed towards
rnilitariam and to foster closer and
sympathetic attitude toward organized
labor

Baltimore, Nov. 20.-Aftiliation or the
four railroad brotherhoods with the
American Federation of Labor as
separate body was regarded as more
than a possibility tonight by inf1uen-
tial federation leaders. 1t was reported
on reliable authority thta representa-
tives Of the railways in the convention
Of the federation had conferred with
officials Of the brotherhoods looking
to an utilization of all railway men

membership in the federation that
would give them the support of the or
ganized labor forces of the country in

all organized railway workers was the
plan, according to information received
tonight.
1t has been arranged that the pres
idents of the four brotherhoods shat!

already has reported to the convention
that the trotherhoods were assured of

pointed out that the constitution OF
the American Federation of Labor did
not permit such amalgamation.
The only reference to the possibility OF
affiliationA of the brotherhoods with the
federation coming from President Com
pers was made late today. 1t came at
the close of three hour debate over
what seemed to be an unimportant mat
ter. President Gompers said there was
involved, however. the principle of COM
pulsory association as against voluntary
association in the federation. In the prn-
ciple of voluntary association. he said, the
federation had grown and thrived. Hal
the old principle of compulsion remained
in force, the bricklayers, machinists and
other strong unions would never have at

he added after a pause: do you think
that if we go back to compulsion it will
induce the railroad brotherhoods to be.
