The furriers are having a mad. gay
time Of 1t. They have been so rushed
with orders since the frst of autumn
that they claim inability to turn out
the last Of the winter coats until al
most spring. writes New York fash
Ion correspondent. All that WAS kept

Thanksgiving. they say.
New York has been the storm center
Of this peltry buying. The wealth OF

To Get Fashion Ideas.
The way to get an idea of what Is
fashionable and what Is not Is to OBJ
serve the crowds, especially during
winter and summer months. During
that time hordes of Americans pass
through New York without ceasing.
Therefore when during the shopping

II quotes one Fifth avenue house as
saying that in one day seven mink

such expenditure in peitry and never

CHANCE FOR MEN AS SCOUTS.

Frequently some men are heard to
say: II wish there had been boy
scouts when / was boy. I'd like to
have had their chance OF having u real
gang and doing the things they do in
the outdoors"
No one Is too old to be scout.
There are 1913 men serving as
scoutmasters, and 1905 hold commits
sions as assistant scoutmasters. For
each of the 1854 troops organized
there is committee of three men
whose duty 1t Is to back up the scout
master and assist the troop In every
possible manner.
There Is crying need for more
leaders. as there are thousands o.
boys waiting to get into troops. If 70,

G0NPERS AGAIN
IS CHOSEN AS
ALL. LEADER
Veteran President Is Re-
Elected for goth Term,
After Defeat on Rail
Measure.

Montreal, June 1S.-Samuel Gompers,
veteran president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor was unanimously re-
elected for the 39th time by the con-
vention here Friday.
Gompers' nomination by George w.
Perkins of the cigar makers union was
the signal for a prolonged ovation by
the delegates who stood and cheered
for several minutes.
James Duncan of Seattle was recorded
as casting the only negative vote.
Samuel Gompers faced a second crit
ieal issue threatening his power when
that organization, in convention here,
came to consideration of it's position
regarding the league of nations. He was
overwhelmingly defeated in yesterday s
session when the federation voted for
government ownership of the railroads.
The report of the committee on inter
national relations will call upon the CON
vention to demand that the United
States senate ratify the league without
reservations This is in accordance with
President Gompers' position.
In accepting reelection, Mr.. Gompers
denied u published report that he had
attempted to get the executive council
TO incorporate in labor's demands to the
dominant political parties request for
modification of the prohibition laws to
permit the sale of light wines and beer.
While admitting that the matter re-
Gently had been discussed by the coun-
Gil, he added that he had not taken any
stand on the question and had not ''suf-
fered any defeat at the hands of the ex
ecutive council"
Il accept the call to duty he said,
''and will obey
The support Of the organized railroad
workers in the federation was pledged
to President Gompers by Chas. j. Mac
Gowan. who seconded his nomination.
He said the conventions action in en-
dorsing government ownership of rail-
roads should not be construed as re-
pudiation Of the labor leaders admins
tration.
Other officers reelected included:
James Duncan. of Quincy, Mass. first
vice president; Jos. +. Valentine, ot
Cincinnati, second vice president; Frank
Duffy, Indianapolis. third vice president,
and William Green, of Coshoton. o.,
fourth vice president.
The federation authorized nation
wide campaign to organize all the tele-
phone operators. Organizers are to take
the field at once.
The convention declared its action
necessary because of the Oppressive
anti-labor policy of the Bell Telephone
company and its associated companies.
The amendment to the constitution
to increase the executive council from
II to 10 members, was rejected by
vote of 23.097 to 1884. This action
prevents the election of four additional
vice presidents.
The fourth Sunday in May of each
year was designated as labors memorial
day upon which labor throughout the
country be called upon TO pay tribute
70 the memory of its dead.
The churches also will be called upon
TO cooperate in the observance of labor
Sunday, the day preceding labor day in
September.
The national steel organizing head
quarters at Pittsburgh, Pa, will not be
abandoned, it was announced today.
1t will keep up propaganda work
among the steel workers.
