given" -.
800 Took Part.
Over three hundred different Boy
Scouts participated. under the i'm
mediate leadership of Assistant Scout
Executive James D. Hall. The idea OF
this service came to Mr. Livingstone,
1t Is said. like an inspiration. The re-
quest was referred to the Secretary OF
State. who arranged at once to accept
the offer.
The boys were selected from the
different troops In the city in such a
waytas not to interfere with their
school work, and by this system Of
relays the conference was supplied
daily with Boy Scouts as pages.
Thesscouts won for themselves the
highest commendation from the
American representatives as well as
from all the foreign delegates, who
have left the country carrying with
them a profound impression OF the
~ nnNy
Scout training for the young lads who
in a few years will succeed their IA

country.
Benefit by Experience.
One official said today that the
scouts who participated in the con-
ference Twill be greatly benefited by
the experience they have had of COM
ing in contact. as they did. with the

to accomplish great things and to be
Of greater value to their own coun-
try"
The Boy Scout organization has
written to DR.. Ballou, superintendent
board thanking them for making it
possible for the scouts to render the
service by excusing them from school
work for day at time. SO that the

vide transportation service, which the country ex-

We have a situation whiclrappearsstobe different ii
the cessation 81 traffic. The coat Strike which Is
called for April LIST is expected to terminate for some
tline-t1e labor OF over half a million men in mining
coal. and preparing it for distribution in the several
sections OF the country. 1t may be stated that in
as much as this strike is called for the spring
month, and that there is already considerable, stock
OF coal ON hand. the public interest will not be Sc
verely nenaced by the continuance of the strike for
several weeks in the spring.
This is. not true. The mining of coal continuous
~ up to thc.point where storage facilities and trans
p~ortation facilities for it are taxed is necessary to
maintain a proper supply at distributing points for
next winters consumption. Every day that the
mines arc closed in April means a reduced supply Of
coal for distribution next November and during the
ensuing months, 1t may be true that a strike last
to death, and will not necessarily mean the closing
down of any industries, but it will result eventually
in the supply Of coal being lower and the price high.
ef than normal. whether it be for the home or the
operation of a factory.
What the country expects what it demands,
and what it has q right to expect and demand at this
time is the reduction OF the price of coal to the con-
sumer. This reduction in price is essential to prop
er balancing OF the country's activities. 1t is neces-
sary to the placing Of living costs on proper basis,
with one commodity III its proper relation to the
others. "
: The coal strike will inAict injury on the nation,
and if it is proper for the government to insist that
the trains run, it is equally proper that the govern
.ment should insist on the continuous mining pf coal
which is necessary to. the very life of the nation.
