BOY SCOUTS IN HUNGARY.

Scouting Is ten years old in Hun growth for a time, the movement was reorganized and put on firm basis in September, 1919. In it's earlier stages the Hungarian scout associa- tion was, like the German, semi military organization, but with it's re- establishment it has rejected the mil ltary element and founded itself on the British and American nonmilitary basis. The dismemberment of Hun gary was a severe blow to the progress of the movement inasmuch as more than 90 per cent of the Magyar troops are now In occupied territories. Off, cers, money and equipment are badly needed. Some of the boy scouts have no money even to purchase shoes, much less scout uniforms. Most of the leaders are professional men or clerks who have a hard enough strug- gle to earn their own living and yet they devote time and often money to the cause.
 We are all the more proud" writes Hungarian old scout, that despite hardships and sufferings, our scouts unfalteringly. with strong soul and in real scout spirit, follow the path which leads to our great goal-good citizenship and real humanity"
 The Hungarian boys are particularly anxious to be included In the Inter- national Brotherhood of Scouts and offer and bespeak In turn good will, understanding and support in the spirit of true scouting.

The standing committee OF the Asso-

senting more than 90 per cent. of the
total railroad mileage in the United
States, decided yesterday to notify the
four big railroad brotherhoods that the
carriers in each Of the four railroad
regions would decide for themselves the
problem Of regional boards. and would
welcome conferences with the railroads
skilled workmen with the view to estah
fishing these boards. In railroad circles
this decision Is considered a constructive
step in the adjustment of relations be-
tween the roads and the big brother
hoods.
Since this is just the reply that the
brotherhood chiefs want, and since most
Of the railroads are in favor Of dociding
their own problems for themselves. indi-

Mr.. Healey said in his telegram:
Operators of coastwise and Sound
tugs have, effective March /. made ma
terial reductions IN wages. Have at
tempted to get them to defer action until
May /. when other agreements on
steamships expire. which they refused.
Engineers and other employees will
leave positions. which will result In seri-
Gus hindrances to commerce.
Suggest investigation by the Depart
ment Of Commerce or joint inquiry BY

The strike. IN which the United As
sociation Of Masters, Mates and Pilots
Joined last night in q meeting Z. II St
Marks place. affects only two railroads,
the Philadelphia and Reading and The
Ontario and Western. They haul con-
siderable coal over the deep sea route

fected.

roads for the harbor marine workers do
not take effect until April 16 or April 90,

tions operating harbor towboats are In

December 81 next.
Capt. William Maher. head of the
United Association OF Masters, Mates
and Pilots, said yesterday afternoon that
the men on about $50 ocean and Sound

ton. He had heard OF only six tied up
thus far. Many boats are at sea and
their crews cannot respond to the order
until they reach their destinations
The tugs Harold, Paoli and Roger
Williams are tied up at Portland Me-
by strike orders from New York; the
tugs Savage, Liberty and Mercury at
Boston. Several towboat companies re-
ported that their men refused to quit
work

workers on ferryboats, tugs and other
floating equipment In New York harbor
