LEADERSHIP TRAINING

In his annual report Guy A.
Weakley, leadership training chair
man, said:
The quality of the Scouting pro-
gram a boy receives depends upon
the caliber off the men in positions
OF leadership in Scouting. The eff
fectiveness of a Scout leader de-
pends first of all on his character
and personality traits and secondly
on the amount of training he has
received in the techniques of Scout
ing.
Due to the fine efforts of an out
standing group of volunteers serving
on the Leadership Training Com
mittee, we have conducted a most
effective training program during
the past year. An average of 29ec
of our Troops, Packs and Ships
have leaders who have completed
the basic training program. The
Commissioners Staff has also been
given a very comprehensive train
ing course to assist them in their
service to Troops. Training Courses
have been held for sponsoring insti-
tutions, Den Mothers, Den Chiefs,
and Cub Leaders. For the first time
in several years, the council has
been able to conduct an Advanced
Course for the more experienced
leaders who wish TO qualify for the
training program during 1914 with a
Scoutmasters Key.
1t is eXected TO continue this
objective Of having at least So, of
all leaders in the Council graduate
from Training Couses in Clubbing.

mental and imperative. This con-
ference according to Mr.. Randolph

Judge Rules Union
Arrangement Void

PROVIDENCE. r. lin a sweep
ing opinion here January z, Judge
Alexander L. Churchill in Superior
court ruled that the auxiliary union
arrangement OF the international
Brotherhood Of Boilermakers, Iron
Shipbuilders and Helpers OF Amer
lea was illegal in Rhode Island.
The auxiliary lodges Of the Boiler
makers union are set up for Ne
groes only, and members OF aux
iliaries do not have the same rights
and protection as regular union
members, although paying the same
dues.
Union Was Bias
Judge Churchills ruling came at
the close OF a week OF argument
in his court in which Thurgood
Marshall NAACP special counsel,
and Joseph LeCount of this city ap-
peared for certain Negro workers
seeking an injunction TO restrain
Local 308 Of the Boilermakers I'M
ion from discriminating against
them.
The action was the result of an
election held in December in which
Negro members Of the union here
at the WalSh-Kaiser shipyards were
required TO vote on a separate bal
lot marked &C" and deposit the
ballots in a special envelope
marked protest" which were then
placed in separate ballot box.
All the ballots in the election
were impounded by court order
and action for temporary injunc-
ton begun.
