to them than to do d lot of other
louder than words, so we'll let Il go
at that. merely giving few items
about what other scouts are doing.
A letter from the scout commits
sioner at Hilo tells us that the scouts
over there-many OF them-haye just
been having siege of grippe. 1t was
so bad that no meetings could be
held for a week or tggo But MP in
Kohala the boys are most active, and
are doing everything from cutting
cane TO setting type.
Hawi Plantation management did
a fine thing fer the Hoea patrol Of
Troop II. which met at Hawi hall
they sent the plantation truck down
to Hoea every FRIDAY night to bring
the Hoea boys up. and then took
them home after the scout meeting.

PARIS, France.-A glass plate has

to preserve the poster in the position

EMPLOYERS ORGANIZE.
Form Conference Board For Avowed
Purpose Of Combating Labor.

Form Conference Board For Avowed
Purpose of Combating Labor.
Twelve of the most important en-
ployers' associations in the United
States announced recently the forma-
ton Of national conference board.
The associations comprise over $4,000
employers, having combined labor
force of 100000 wage earners, over
rs per cent of all workers In the coun-
try.
The conference board will be clear
ing house Of information and through
publicity and education attempt to en-
list the sympathetic support of the
public and cooperation of the govern
ment.
The New York Tribune announces
the conference board as a'"union form
ed by employers against labor" It
also reports their cooperation in
drastic effort Of the National Found
ers' association, a member of the
board, to repeal the Adamson eight
hour law. This the conference board
later denied.
Labor made immediate and vigorous
answer, for the action of the big en-
ployers led to solidifying Of labor
sentiment to degree hitherto un-
known, and the addition Of 100000
members to the American Federation
of Labor emerged as clear possibili-
ty as result of conferences and the
exchange of expressions Of sympathy
and support between chiefs of the four
railroad brotherhoods and officials Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
At meeting in Washington defen-
sive alliance was entered into between
the railway department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, with $4,000
members working In the shops, yards
and telegraph offices Of the railroads
and the brotherhoods, with 100000
members In train service.-Survey.

LABOR SCHOLARSHIPS.
Trade Unionists Plan Education OF
HoIIMna

Trade Unionists Plan Education OF
Workers at Pennsylvania College.
Plans for the establishment of forty
scholarships for the education of skill
ed young tradesmen and women at the
Pennsylvania State college are under
consideration by officers Of the State
Federation Of Labor. II the project
goes through the students will receive
special training at the college, which
added to their practical trade and in
dustrial experience will enable them to
serve as teachers in the continuation
and vocational schools of the state.
J. HI. Maurer of Reading, president
Of the federation, and member of the
state legislature, and r. J. Wheeler OF
Allentown, visited State College, ar
ranging tentative plans with DIR. 70. Il.
Sparks, the college president. The plan
provides for an endowment fund OF
$4,000 to be raised by the labor un-
ions in the first, second and third class
cities of the state. The fund is to be
held in trust by the state college to be
loaned to such students as may qualify
for the scholarships through COMPETE
tive examinations and who may later
become teachers in the vocational
schools Of Pennsylvania.
1t was announced that the federation
undertook the establishment Of the
scholarships for the education of young
members of the labor unions because
there was great lack Of teachers OF
experience in industrial training or vo-
cations in general. The children OF
workers, it was said, are not receiv-
ing the training expected and desired
In the continuation schools established
under the child labor law.
Why do they call New York city the
city of Gotham?
It is a nickname of foreign origin
with no particular applicability. Go
than is the name Of an ancient village
in England whose inhabitants, accord
ing to tradition, once escaped burden
some duty about to be put upon them
by feigning stupidity. This smart trick
| in pretending to be fools gave rise to
the expression ''the wise men OF Go
than" and the story of "the three
wise men Of Gotham who went to sea
in bowl" The name was first applied
to New York city in a humorous maya
zine called Salmagundi, started In 1907
by Washington irving and two or three
others, in which they made fun of the
pretensions Of some of the wise men
of Gotham" meaning the New York OF
that day. The magazine was read, the
funmaking was approved, and the nick
name became permanent.

Are there times when leap year comes

it regularly every four years?
By the present method Of reckoning
time every year of which the number

der is leap year, excepting the centen
NAL or even hundredth years, which
are only leap years when divisible by

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
Railroads to Take Mo Action Until Aft
or Presidential Election.

Railroads to Take Mo Action Until ATT
or Presidential Election.
Many men in high places In railway
affairs are inclined to take President
Wilson's statement on the adjourn
ment of congress as a pledge Of RENE
dial railway legislation complementary
to the eight hour law. In view Off
this feeling there Is growing sentiment
that the eight hour law should not be
attacked until after the election and
that If Mr.. Wilson is reelected there
should be no attack. If the president
moves within reasonable time 10 get
laws that will lift the burden of the
short day from the carriers.
In his statement. after expressing re
gret that the whole of his program was
not carried out. Mr.. Wilson said
1.-THE rest, it is agreed, has merely
been postponed until 1t can be more
maturely deliberated and perfected.
have every reason to believe that 1t is
the purpose of the leaders of the two
houses Immediately upon the reassem-
bling Of congress to undertake this ad-
,ditional legislation. 1t is evident that
the country could be relieved of the
anxiety which must have been created
by recent events with regard to the
further accommodation of such dis
putes.'
Conservative railway men believe
that the chance of getting their shares,
together with enjoying the good will
of the White House, will far outweigh
the value of chance to beat the law
in the courts.
That part of the presidents program
that was not enacted called for COM
pulsory Investigating body and the
forbidding Of strikes while the inquiry
was in progress and, secondly. the In
struction Of the interstate commerce
commission to consider the propriety of
granting rate increase to compensate
for the additional cost Of the eight
hour day.
1t is known that leaders in railway
and financial affairs have advised ac-
ceptance Of the law for what 1t is
worth in order to preserve the chances
for compensatory legislation.
There is another factor which has
had much to do with the abrupt halt
Of plans to nullify the law When rail-
road lawyers argued that the law
could be declared unconstitutional on
the ground that congress had no pow
er to legislate wages 1t was pointed
out to them that the railroads had
been working for years to have the
| interstate commerce commission or
some other federal body receive power
| to fix wages as well as rates.
In addition the railroads are work.
ing on a comprehensive program which
has as its main feature federal regu-
lation. They believe President Wilson
| will not oppose 1t, and If Hughes Is
elected they point out that federal
regulation to the exclusion Of state
| regulation is Republican doctrine in
its essentials. Furthermore. the broth
! hood leaders who have influence In
congress have said they would favor
a federal regulation act If the eight
hour day should be put into effect. So
the question has arisen. would not
! the railroads stand to lose more than
they would gain by attacking the eight
hour law?"
