of those who fail to register. The

be used and compared with the army

men who have voted in the elections

registration of some men who have
not yet voted in the city, county, state

found favorable the federation will
ret back Of the scouts to a man. AL
though the labor men were formerly
opposed 10 the scout organization, Il
Is believed their attitude was largely
Influenced by a misunderstanding as
% the real objects Of the movement
and the great benefits to be derived by
It's members from the work.
The greater part Of the evening was
spent in considering a new constitu-
ton and bylaws The delegates start
I'd on this task at the first meeting in
December and hoped to complete IL
last night, but found the task too big.
The present constitution was found
wanting in many respects and will be
